RESUMO

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to health globally, with the potential to render numerous medical procedures so dangerous as to be impractical. There is therefore an urgent need for new molecules that function through novel mechanisms of action to combat AMR. The bacterial DNA-repair and SOS-response pathways promote survival of pathogens in infection settings and also activate hypermutation and resistance mechanisms, making these pathways attractive targets for new therapeutics. Small molecules, such as IMP-1700, potentiate DNA damage and inhibit the SOS response in methicillin-resistant S. aureus; however, understanding of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of this series is lacking. We report here the first comprehensive SAR study of the IMP-1700 scaffold, identifying key pharmacophoric groups and delivering the most potent analogue reported to date, OXF-077. Furthermore, we demonstrate that as a potent inhibitor of the mutagenic SOS response, OXF-077 suppresses the rate of ciprofloxacin resistance emergence in S. aureus. This work supports SOS-response inhibitors as a novel means to combat AMR, and delivers OXF-077 as a tool molecule for future development.

RESUMO

Orphan G-protein-coupled receptor 84 (GPR84) is a receptor that has been linked to cancer, inflammatory, and fibrotic diseases. We have reported DL-175 as a biased agonist at GPR84 which showed differential signaling via Gαi/cAMP and ß-arrestin, but which is rapidly metabolized. Herein, we describe an optimization of DL-175 through a systematic structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis. This reveals that the replacement of the naphthalene group improved metabolic stability and the addition of a 5-hydroxy substituent to the pyridine N-oxide group, yielding compounds 68 (OX04528) and 69 (OX04529), enhanced the potency for cAMP signaling by 3 orders of magnitude to low picomolar values. Neither compound showed detectable effects on ß-arrestin recruitment up to 80 µM. Thus, the new GPR84 agonists 68 and 69 displayed excellent potency, high G-protein signaling bias, and an appropriate in vivo pharmacokinetic profile that will allow investigation of GPR84 biased agonist activity in vivo.
