Structural highlights
FunctionBLAN1_KLEPN Confers resistance to many beta-lactam antibiotics, including some carbapenems. Does not confer resistance to the polymixin colistin or the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin. Publication Abstract from PubMedGram-negative pathogens expressing serine beta-lactamases (SBLs) and metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs), especially those with carbapenemase activity, threaten the clinical utility of almost all beta-lactam antibiotics. Here we describe the discovery of a heteroaryl phosphonate scaffold that exhibits noncovalent cross-class inhibition of representative carbapenemases, specifically the SBL KPC-2 and the MBLs NDM-1 and VIM-2. The most potent lead, compound 16, exhibited low nM to low muM inhibition of KPC-2, NDM-1, and VIM-2. Compound 16 potentiated imipenem efficacy against resistant clinical and laboratory bacterial strains expressing carbapenemases while showing some cytotoxicity toward human HEK293T cells only at concentrations above 100 mug/mL. Complex structures with KPC-2, NDM-1, and VIM-2 demonstrate how these inhibitors achieve high binding affinity to both enzyme classes. These findings provide a structurally and mechanistically new scaffold for drug discovery targeting multidrug resistant Gram-negative pathogens and more generally highlight the active site features of carbapenemases that can be leveraged for lead discovery.
