Impact of pyridyl moieties on the inhibitory properties of prominent acyclic metal chelators against metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae : investigating the molecular... by Sosibo, Sphelele C., Somboro, Anou M., Amoako, Daniel G., Osei Sekyere, John, Bester, Linda A., Ngila, Jane C., Sun, Darren Delai, Kumalo, Hezekiel M.

“…Di-(2-picolyl) amine and tris-(2-picolyl) amine exhibited great efficacy against different types of MBLs and strong binding affinity for NDM-1, whereas 2-picolyl amine did not show activity at a concentration of 64 mg/L in combination with meropenem; it further showed the lowest binding affinity from computational molecular analysis, commensurating with the in vitro screening assays. The findings revealed that the pyridyl group plays a vital role in the inhibitory activity of the tested molecules against CREs and should be exploited as potential MBL inhibitors.…”
