Future Medicinal Chemistry, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 16

Published: Feb. 16, 2025

The globally growing antimicrobial resistance seriously threatens human health, increasing efforts have been devoting to the development of novel antibiotics. Naphthalimides contain a special skeleton cyclic double imides and naphthalene framework, this unique structure can exert multitargeting abilities which are helpful overcome escalating issue resistance. Therefore, research in connection with naphthalimides as agents is becoming progressively active. It has revealed that structural promising antibiotics could not only target DNAs enzymes, disturb membrane, produce reactive oxygen species, etc. suggesting actions do induce resistance, but also show broad spectrum safety profile pharmacokinetic characteristics, implying large potential new type via continuous toward naphthalimides. This review presents discusses rational design strategies, structure-activity relationships, mechanisms action, comprehensive view providing insight for efficient, broad-spectrum, low-toxic naphthalimide

Discovery of Quinazolone Pyridiniums as Potential Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Agents

Molecules, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 30(2), P. 243 - 243

Published: Jan. 9, 2025

The overprescription of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture has accelerated the development spread antibiotic resistance bacteria, which severely limits arsenal available to clinicians for treating bacterial infections. This work discovered a new class heteroarylcyanovinyl quinazolones quinazolone pyridiniums surmount increasingly severe resistance. Bioactive assays manifested that highly active compound 19a exhibited strong inhibition against MRSA Escherichia coli with extremely low MICs 0.5 μg/mL, being eightfold more than norfloxacin (MICs = 4 μg/mL). rapid bactericidal properties displayed imperceptible trends, negligible hemolytic toxicity, effective biofilm inhibitory effects. Preliminary explorations on antibacterial mechanisms revealed could cause membrane damage, embed intracellular DNA hinder replication, induce metabolic dysfunction. Surprisingly, was found trigger conformational change PBP2a open site, might account its high MRSA. In addition, little effect molecule production reactive oxygen species indicated death not caused by oxidative stress. above comprehensive analyses highlighted large potential as multitargeting broad-spectrum agents.

Self-Assembling Nucleopeptides Exhibiting Strong Antimicrobial Activity against Multidrug-Resistant Clinically Isolated Strains and In Vitro Wound Healing Compatibility

ACS Applied Bio Materials, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 25, 2025

To combat the emerging threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), in this study, two amphiphilic nucleopeptides (NPs) were synthesized by conjugating nucleobase thymine with peptide amphiphiles. These compounds fully characterized using various analytical techniques. Notably, both formed hydrogels milli-Q water at neutral pH (pH 6.9). X-ray diffraction further confirmed antiparallel β-sheet-like structures, along aromatic π–π stacking and hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) interactions between moieties gel phase. Field emission gun transmission electron microscopy revealed a nanofibrillar network structure these self-assembled peptides. A significant feature supramolecular self-assemblies is their potent activity against types bacteria, such as Gram-positive Gram-negative standard American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) including Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, multidrug-resistant clinically isolated ATCC strains methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among these, peptides demonstrated remarkable inhibition MRSA (MIC: 15.92–16.86 μM) K. pneumoniae 8.8–50 μM), highlighting potential agents deadly (MDR) bacteria. Additionally, assemblies found to be highly biocompatible, MTT assays on HEK-293 cells, showing IC50 values range 0.5–1.1 mM. In an vitro wound healing assay HeLa fluorescence that treatment did not disrupt cell or mitochondrial membranes cells. This work presents broad-spectrum efficacy MDR demonstrates high biocompatibility, supporting use agents.
