In silico fragment based design identifies subfamily B1 metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors

<p>Zinc ion dependent β-lactamases (MBLs) catalyze the hydrolysis of almost all β-lactam antibiotics and resist the action of clinically available β-lactamase inhibitors. We report how application of <i>in silico</i> fragment-based molecular design employing thiol-mediated metal a...

description <p>Zinc ion dependent β-lactamases (MBLs) catalyze the hydrolysis of almost all β-lactam antibiotics and resist the action of clinically available β-lactamase inhibitors. We report how application of <i>in silico</i> fragment-based molecular design employing thiol-mediated metal anchorage leads to potent MBL inhibitors. The new inhibitors manifest potent inhibition of clinically important B1 subfamily MBLs, including the widespread NDM-1, IMP-1 and VIM-2 enzymes; with lower potency, some of them also inhibit clinically relevant Class A and D serine-β-lactamases. The inhibitors show selectivity for bacterial MBL enzymes compared to human MBL fold nucleases. Co-crystallization of one inhibitor, which shows potentiation of meropenem activity against MBL-expressing <i>Enterobacteriaceae</i>, with VIM-2 reveals an unexpected binding mode, involving interactions with residues from conserved active site bordering loops.</p>
