A series of 5-oxo-4H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine derivatives was identified as novel class of highly potent antibacterial agents during an extensive large-scale high-throughput screening (HTS) program utilizing a unique double-reporter system-pDualrep2. The construction of the reporter system allows us to perform visual inspection of the underlying mechanism of action due to two genes-Katushka2S and RFP-which encode the proteins with different imaging signatures. Antibacterial activity of the compounds was evaluated during the initial HTS round and subsequent rescreen procedure. The most active molecule demonstrated a MIC value of 3.35 mu g/mL against E. coli with some signs of translation blockage (low Katushka2S signal) and no SOS response. The compound did not demonstrate cytotoxicity in standard cell viability assay. Subsequent structural morphing and follow-up synthesis may result in novel compounds with a meaningful antibacterial potency which can be reasonably regarded as an attractive starting point for further in vivo investigation and optimization.
