The synthesis and biological evaluation of virtually designed fluoroquinolone analogs against fluoroquinolone-resistantEscherichia coliintended for UTI treatment
NEW JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY(2020)
摘要
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are one of the most commonly prescribed classes of antibiotics for the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs), but FQ-resistantEscherichia coli(E. coli) in UTIs is widespread and increasing. In order to address the resistance-related issue, novel drug molecules with the capacity to overcomeE. coliresistance are crucial for modern healthcare. Based on this rationale, the virtually screened novel FQ analogsFQ-49,FQ-70,FQ-131,FQ-132,FQ-137,FQ-147,FQ-151,FQ-172,FQ-177, andFQ-182were synthesized using a microwave-assisted technique. These compounds possessed excellent activity against FQ-resistantE. coliand inhibited purified mutant DNA gyrase activityin vitro.A 3D-QSAR modeling study was used to identify the potent FQ analogs and calculate their molecular properties. Sequence analysis of the quinolone-resistance determining region (QRDR) of purified mutant DNA gyrase enzyme confirmed the presence of Ser83Leu and Asp87Asn mutations in FQ-resistantE. coliisolates from UTI patients. Overall, this study confirmed that ten of the synthesized novel FQ analogs exhibited extremely potent antibacterial activity against existing FQ-resistantE. coli, and they could be further successfully utilized for the treatment of UTIs.
