Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a cyclic peptide compound and its application in the field of antibacterial agents. Background Technology

[0002] Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) is a non-fermenting Gram-negative bacillus that can cause a variety of infectious diseases, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, bacteremia, wound infections, meningitis, and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Due to its strong adhesion and transmissibility, Ab exhibits widespread resistance to mainstream drugs, including imipenem, meropenem, and cefoperazone-sulbactam, through multiple resistance mechanisms such as carbapenemase production, altered drug targets, loss of outer membrane porins, and active efflux pumps. Simultaneously, its resistance to last-resort treatments such as polymyxins and tigecycline is also significantly increasing, resulting in extremely limited clinical treatment options. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel antibiotics against Acinetobacter baumannii infections.

[0003] In January 2024, researchers from Roche Pharmaceuticals and Harvard University published two articles in the same issue of Nature, reporting the development of a novel antibiotic, Zosurabalpin (Formula II), as a clinical candidate drug with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ≤0.06~0.5 μg / mL against Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab). This antibiotic is a tethered macrocyclic peptide composed of a small aromatic ring and a tripeptide, exhibiting high selectivity and excellent broad-spectrum activity against 129 clinical isolates, including Ab and fully drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. This novel antibiotic targets the lipopolysaccharide transporter (Lpt), using hydrogen bonds between amino acid residues in the tripeptide and the LptB2FG protein. This inhibits the efflux of endotoxin lipopolysaccharide synthesized by Ab, leading to excessively high intracellular lipopolysaccharide concentrations, causing Ab poisoning and death, and effectively treating Ab infection. It has now entered Phase I clinical trials.

[0004]

[0005] This application builds upon Zosurabalpin to further investigate a compound with superior antibacterial effects. Summary of the Invention
