Through virtual screening and biological validation, we identified two FDA-approved drugs, ivacaftor and roquinimex, as moderate binders to Cyt-bd. Structural modifications led to the discovery of potent new Cyt-bd inhibitors. This study provides a promising starting point for the development of novel dual chemotherapies for tuberculosis.
The cytochrome bcc-aa3 oxidase (Cyt-bcc) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a promising anti-tuberculosis target. However, when Cyt-bcc is inhibited, cytochrome bd terminal oxidase (Cyt-bd) can still maintain the ac-tivity of the respiratory chain and drive ATP synthesis. Through virtual screening and biological validation, we discovered two FDA-approved drugs, ivacaftor and roquinimex, exhibited moderate binding affinity to Cyt-bd. Structural modifications of them led to 1-hydroxy-2-methylquinolin-4(1H)-one derivatives as potent new Cyt-bd inhibitors. Compound 8d binds to Cyt-bd with a Kd value of 4.17 mu M and inhibits the growth of the Cyt-bcc knock-out strain (Delta qcrCAB, Cyt-bd+) with a MIC value of 6.25 mu M. The combination of 8d with the Cyt-bcc inhibitor Q203 completely inhibited oxygen consumption of the wild-type strain and the inverted-membrane vesicles expressing M. tuberculosis Cyt-bd (Delta cydAB::MtbCydAB+). Our study provides a promising starting point for the development of novel dual chemotherapies for tuberculosis.
