New 2-Ethylthio-4-methylaminoquinazoline derivatives inhibiting two subunits of cytochrome bc1 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Shi-Yan Caroline Foo, Anthony Vocat, Andrej Benjak, Jérémie Piton, Andréanne Lupien

The emergence of multi-drug (MDR-TB) and extensively-drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is a major threat to the global management of tuberculosis (TB) worldwide. New chemical entities are of need to treat drug-resistant TB. In this study, the mode of ac ...

Arylvinylpiperazine Amides, a New Class of Potent Inhibitors Targeting QcrB of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Raphael Christopher Sommer, Shi-Yan Caroline Foo, Anthony Vocat, Andrej Benjak, Jérémie Piton, Andréanne Lupien

New drugs are needed to control the current tuberculosis (TB) pandemic caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We report here on our work with AX-35, an arylvinylpiperazine amide, and four related analogs, which are potent antitubercular agent ...

Structure-Based Drug Design and Characterization of Sulfonyl-Piperazine Benzothiazinone Inhibitors of DprE1 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Shi-Yan Caroline Foo, Anthony Vocat, Jérémie Piton, Andréanne Lupien

Macozinone (MCZ) is a tuberculosis (TB) drug candidate that specifically targets the essential flavoenzyme DprE1, thereby blocking synthesis of the cell wall precursor decaprenyl phosphoarabinose (DPA) and provoking lysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As ...

Optimized Background Regimen for Treatment of Active Tuberculosis with the Next-Generation Benzothiazinone Macozinone (PBTZ169)

Stewart Cole, Shi-Yan Caroline Foo, Anthony Vocat, Jean-Yves Gillon, Andréanne Lupien

The efficacy of the standardized four-drug regimen (comprising isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol) for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) is menaced by the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drugresistant (XDR) strains of ...

Rv3852 (H-NS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is Not Involved in Nucleoid Compaction and Virulence Regulation

Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly, Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala, Anthony Vocat, Andrej Benjak, Nina Theres Odermatt, Andréanne Lupien

A handful of nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) regulate the vast majority of genes in a bacterial cell. H-NS, the histone-like nucleoid-structuring protein, is one of these NAPs and protects Escherichia coli from foreign gene expression. Though lacking a ...

The Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase, GuaB2, Is a Vulnerable New Bactericidal Drug Target for Tuberculosis

John McKinney, Stewart Cole, Neeraj Dhar, Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn, Raphael Christopher Sommer, Anthony Vocat, Andréanne Lupien

VCC234718, a molecule with growth inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), was identified by phenotypic screening of a 15344-compound library. Sequencing of a VCC234718-resistant mutant identified a Y487C substitution in the inosine mo ...

Characterization of DprE1-Mediated Benzothiazinone Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly, Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala, Benoit Lechartier, Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres, Stefanie Boy-Röttger, Jan Lars Rybniker, Shi-Yan Caroline Foo, Jérémie Piton, Andréanne Lupien

Benzothiazinones (BTZs) are a class of compounds found to be extremely potent against both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. The potency of BTZs is explained by their specificity for their target decaprenylphosphoryl-D ...
