APH(2)-IVa with an inhibitor

Structural highlights
FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedAntibiotic resistance is rapidly emerging as one of the most critical health threats, with resistant microorganisms progressively diminishing the effectiveness of established antibiotics. As a result, the development of therapeutic approaches that effectively target resistant pathogens is of utmost importance. In this study, we developed inhibitors for APH(2")-IVa, a bacterial kinase conveying resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics. Starting from a hit of a fragment-based screening, we explored the inhibitory motif by structure-based design, ultimately leading to a series of triazole analogues. Advanced analogues displayed promising ADME properties, emerging selectivity vs a panel of human kinases, permeability in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and a moderate antibiotic efficacy for clinical strains of P. aeruginosa. Taken together, our results suggest inhibition of bacterial kinases could be a promising option to reinstall the efficacy of aminoglycoside antibiotics.
