Abstract

The emergence and spread of pose a severe threat to public health, highlighting the urgent need for the next generation of therapeutics due to its increasing resistance to existing antibiotics. BfmR, a response regulator modulating virulence and antimicrobial resistance, shows a promising potential as a novel antimicrobial target. Developing BfmR inhibitors may propel a new therapeutic direction for intractable infection of resistant strains. In this study, we conducted a structure-based hierarchical virtual screening pipeline combining molecular docking, molecular dynamic simulation, and MM/GBSA calculation to sift the Specs chemical library and finally discover three novel potential BfmR inhibitors. The three hits can reduce the MIC of meropenem for the carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) strain ZJ06. Similar to the BfmR knockout strain, Cmp-98 was demonstrated to downregulate the expression of K locus genes, indicating it as a BfmR inhibitor. Bacteria underwent harmful morphological changes after treatment with these inhibitors. Molecular dynamic simulations found that all the hits tend to dynamically bind to different positions of the phosphorylation site of BfmR. Wherein we identified a potential inhibitory-binding cleft, beside a possible activated binding cleft at the edge of the phosphorylation site. Restraining the ligand binding poses may help exert inhibitory effects. This study reports a group of new scaffold BfmR inhibitors, offering new insights for novel antibiotic therapeutics against CRAB.

摘要

鲍曼不动杆菌的出现和传播对公共卫生构成了严重威胁,由于其对现有抗生素的耐药性不断增加,迫切需要新一代的治疗方法。BfmR 是一种调节毒力和抗菌耐药性的反应调节剂,作为一种新型抗菌靶标具有很大的应用潜力。开发 BfmR 抑制剂可能为治疗耐药菌株的难治性感染提供新的治疗方向。在这项研究中,我们采用基于结构的层次虚拟筛选策略,结合分子对接、分子动力学模拟和 MM/GBSA 计算,对 Specs 化学库进行筛选,最终发现了三种新型潜在的 BfmR 抑制剂。这三种化合物可降低耐碳青霉烯鲍曼不动杆菌(CRAB)菌株 ZJ06 对美罗培南的 MIC。与 BfmR 敲除菌株相似,Cmp-98 被证明下调了 K 位基因的表达,表明其为 BfmR 抑制剂。这些抑制剂处理后,细菌发生了有害的形态变化。分子动力学模拟发现,所有的化合物都倾向于动态结合到 BfmR 磷酸化位点的不同位置。其中,我们鉴定了一个潜在的抑制性结合裂隙,位于磷酸化位点边缘的一个可能的激活结合裂隙旁边。约束配体结合构象可能有助于发挥抑制作用。本研究报道了一组新的 BfmR 抑制剂骨架,为开发针对 CRAB 的新型抗生素治疗方法提供了新的思路。
