The therapeutic potential of 3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinolines, the main core of Marinoquinoline natural products, has been explored for the development of new anti-TB agents. Two pyrroloquinolines (compounds 50 and 54) were discovered to have good in vitro activity against virulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Enzymatic assays revealed that both compounds are inhibitors of glutamate-5-kinase (G5K), an essential enzyme for this pathogen.
The therapeutic potential of 3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinolinesdthe main core of Marinoquinoline natural productsdhas been explored for the development of new anti-TB agents. The chemical modification of various positions in this scaffold has led to the discovery of two pyrroloquinolines (compounds 50 and 54) with good in vitro activity against virulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv, MIC = 4.1 mu M and 4.2 mu M, respectively). Enzymatic assays showed that both derivatives are inhibitors of glutamate-5-kinase (G5K, encoded by proB gene), an essential enzyme for this pathogen involved in the first step of the proline biosynthesis pathway. G5K catalyzes the phosphoryl-transference of the gamma-phosphate group of ATP to L-glutamate to provide L-glutamyl-5-phosphate and ADP, and also regulates the synthesis of L-proline. The results of various molecular dynamics simulation studies revealed that the inhibition of G5K would be caused by allosteric interaction of these compounds with the interface between enzyme domains, against different pockets and with distinct recognition patterns. The binding of compound 54 promotes long-distance conformational changes at the L-glutamate binding site that would prevent it from anchoring for catalysis, while compound 50 alters the ATP binding site architecture for recognition. Enzyme assays revealed that compound 50 caused a substancial increase in the K-m(app) for ATP, while no significant effect was observed for derivative 54. This work also demonstrates the potential of the G5K enzyme as a biological target for the development of new anti-TB drugs. (c) 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
