Nosiheptide analogues as potential antibacterial agents via dehydroalanine region modifications: Semi-synthesis, antimicrobial activity and molecular docking study.
The frequent and inappropriate use of antibiotics aggravate the variation and evolution of multidrug-resistant bacteria, posing a serious threat to public health. Nosiheptide (NOS) has excellent lethality against a variety of Gram-positive bacteria, however the physical and chemical drawbacks hamper its routine application in clinical practice. In this study, by using NOS as the starting material, a total of 15 NOS analogues (2a-4e) were semi-synthesized via its dehydroalanine residue reacting with monosubstituted anilines. In vitro antimicrobial susceptibilities of NOS and its analogues against two methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) clinical isolates were determined by broth microdilution assay to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing data shown that most of the NOS analogues had a better antibacterial effect than the parent compound, with compound 3c exhibiting the highest antibacterial activity against VRE (MIC = 0.0078 mg/L) and MRSA (MIC < 0.0039 mg/L). Molecular docking of synthetic compounds was also performed to verify the binding interactions of NOS analogues with the target. Our data indicated that compound 3c possesses stronger and more complex intermolecular force than other analogues, which is consistent with the results of the biological activity evaluation. Overall, this study identified a number of potential antibacterial NOS analogues that could act as potent therapeutic agents for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.
