The structure of the metallo-beta-lactamase VIM-2 in complex with a triazolylthioacetamide 1b
Structural highlights
FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedInhibition of beta-lactamases presents a promising strategy to restore the beta-lactams antibacterial activity to resistant bacteria. In this work, we found that aromatic carboxyl substituted 2-triazolylthioacetamides 1a-j inhibited VIM-2, exhibiting an IC50 value in the range of 20.6-58.6 muM. The structure-activity relationship study revealed that replacing the aliphatic carboxylic acid with aromatic carboxyl improved the inhibitory activity of 2-triazolylthioacetamides against VIM-2. 1a-j (16 mg/mL) restored the antibacterial activity of cefazolin against E. coli cell expressing VIM-2, resulting in a 4-8-fold reduction in MICs. The isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) characterization suggested that the primary binding 2-triazolylthioacetamide (1b, 1c, or 1h) to VIM-2 was a combination of entropy and enthalpy contributions. Further, the crystal structure of VIM-2 in complex with 1b was obtained by co-crystallization with a hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystal structure analysis revealed that 1b bound to two Zn(II) ions of the enzyme active sites, formed H-bound with Asn233 and structure water molecule, and interacted with the hydrophobic pocket of enzyme activity center utilizing hydrophobic moieties; especially for the phenyl of aromatic carboxyl which formed pi-pi stacking with active residue His263. These studies confirmed that aromatic carboxyl substituted 2-triazolylthioacetamides are the potent VIM-2 inhibitors scaffold and provided help to further optimize 2-triazolylthioacetamides as VIM-2 even or broad-spectrum MbetaLs inhibitors.
