Discovery of thiosemicarbazone derivatives as effective New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) inhibitors against NDM-1 producing clinical isolates

Bing Zhao et al.

Summary: New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) poses a threat to public health as it can hydrolyze nearly all beta-lactam antibiotics. In this study, thiosemicarbazone derivatives were evaluated for their potential to treat NDM-1 positive superbugs, with compounds 19bg and 19bh showing promising activity. Molecular docking suggested these compounds may inhibit NDM-1 in an allosteric pocket, potentially offering new treatment options for NDM-1 producing strains.

Triphenyl-sesquineolignan analogues derived from Illicium simonsii Maxim exhibit potent antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by disrupting bacterial membranes

Yong Guo et al.

Summary: In this study, three triphenyl-sesquineolignans were isolated and seven derivatives were prepared. Compound 6 showed the best antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and clinical MRSA strains, with low drug resistance development probability and hemolysis. Mechanism studies revealed that compound 6 kills bacterial strains by disrupting membranes, indicating its potential as a new antibacterial candidate for combating MRSA infections.

The Antibiotic Resistome: A Guide for the Discovery of Natural Products as Antimicrobial

Christian Hobson et al.

Summary: The ongoing challenge of antibiotic resistance is a formidable threat towards the discovery and use of traditional antibiotics. The study and understanding of molecular mechanisms in the resistome provide a basis for the genomics-driven discovery and development of novel antimicrobials to combat emerging pathogens that are resistant to even the newest approved therapies.
