Drug Repurposing of the Unithiol: Inhibition of Metallo-β-Lactamases for the Treatment of Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections

Vitaly G. Grigorenko et al.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance is a global problem and the production and spread of antibiotic-inactivating enzymes pose challenges for clinical treatment and drug design. Drug repurposing is a method to find new targets. It has been found that unithiol is a potential inhibitor of metallo-beta-lactamases and can be used in combination with beta-lactam antibiotics.

QM/MM Study of a VIM-1 Metallo-β-Lactamase Enzyme: The Catalytic Reaction Mechanism

Fabiola E. Medina et al.

Summary: The hydrolysis of carbapenem antibiotics by metallo-beta-lactamase enzymes is a crucial reaction that promotes antibiotic resistance. Understanding the catalytic mechanism of this reaction, particularly in VIM-1 enzymes, can aid in rational drug design to inhibit enzyme activity or develop new antibiotics. The reaction was found to occur in three stages with the rate-limiting step being the initial stage with a Gibbs energy barrier of 15.7 kcal.mol(-1).

The urgent need for metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors: an unattended global threat

Maria F. Mojica et al.

Summary: Beta-lactams are the most potent class of antibiotics in clinical use due to their superior tolerability and efficacy. However, resistance to these antibiotics, particularly due to beta-lactamases, remains a challenge. The limited effectiveness of beta-lactamase inhibitors against metallo-beta-lactamases and the potential exacerbation of antimicrobial resistance due to increased antibiotic use in COVID-19 patients are key concerns.

Studies on the Reactions of Biapenem with VIM Metallo β-Lactamases and the Serine β-Lactamase KPC-2

Anka Lucic et al.

Summary: This study investigated the reaction of the carbapenem biapenem with different subclasses of beta-lactamases. The results showed the formation of enamine and various types of imine products. The findings support the idea that prolonging the lifetime of beta-lactamase carbapenem complexes by optimizing the tautomerization process could lead to improved carbapenems.

β-Lactam Antibiotics and β-Lactamase Enzymes Inhibitors, Part 2: Our Limited Resources

Silvana Alfei et al.

Summary: Beta-lactam antibiotics (BLAs) are important antibacterial drugs, but the emergence of beta-lactamase enzymes (BLEs) produced by bacteria has led to increasing resistance to them. The current clinical approach is to use a combination of BLAs and beta-lactamase inhibitors (BLEsIs) to limit this phenomenon. However, current inhibitors are unable to fully inhibit all beta-lactamases and there are no drugs available to inhibit metallo-beta-lactamases. Additionally, the emergence of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamases poses a new concern.

Crystallography and QM/MM Simulations Identify Preferential Binding of Hydrolyzed Carbapenem and Penem Antibiotics to the L1 Metallo-β-Lactamase in the Imine Form

Rebecca M. Twidale et al.

Summary: The widespread bacterial resistance to carbapenem antibiotics, due to carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes including metallo-beta-lactamases, is a growing global health concern. A combined approach utilizing crystallography and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics simulations allowed for the assignment of tautomers in M beta L:hydrolyzed antibiotic complexes, providing insights into beta-lactam hydrolysis mechanisms. The relative stability of different hydrolyzed forms of (carba)penems in the L1 active site was established, identifying important interactions for stable complex formation and potentially aiding in inhibitor design for combating antibiotic resistance.

Faropenem reacts with serine and metallo-β-lactamases to give multiple products

Anka Lucic et al.

Summary: Penems have shown potential as antibacterials and beta-lactamase inhibitors, but their clinical use is limited compared to carbapenems. Faropenem, with a C-2 tetrahydrofuran ring, is resistant to some beta-lactamases. Studies on reactions of faropenem with beta-lactamases demonstrate different outcomes, suggesting further research is needed for optimizing the interactions between penems and beta-lactamases.

Boronic Acids as Prospective Inhibitors of Metallo-β-Lactamases: Efficient Chemical Reaction in the Enzymatic Active Site Revealed by Molecular Modeling

Alexandra Krivitskaya et al.

Summary: Boronic acids are potential inhibitors of metallo-beta-lactamases, forming covalent adducts with the catalytic hydroxide anion at the enzyme's active site. The nucleophilic attack with boronic acid inhibitors shows stronger electrophilic properties compared to carbonyl carbon of imipenem, facilitating the chemical reaction. By proposing QSPR equations, the study predicts IC50 values for boronic acid compounds and demonstrates consistent values for benzo[b]thiophene-containing inhibitors.

Maria G. Khrenova et al.

Summary: The results of studying the GTP hydrolysis reaction mechanism using QM/MM MD simulations show the crucial role of the catalytic glutamine side chain. Two distinct pathways, pathway-I and pathway-II, were identified, with pathway-I explaining the impact of the Glu138Gly mutation in RP2 on slowing down the hydrolysis rate, while pathway-II aligns more closely with experimental kinetic data of the wild-type Arl3-RP2 complex.
