Structural highlights
Function
[BLAN1_KLEPN] Confers resistance to many beta-lactam antibiotics, including some carbapenems. Does not confer resistance to the polymixin colistin or the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
beta-lactam antibiotics have long been the mainstay for the treatment of bacterial infections. New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) is able to hydrolyze nearly all beta-lactam antibiotics and even clinically used serine-beta-lactamase inhibitors. The wide and rapid spreading of NDM-1 gene among pathogenic bacteria has attracted extensive attention, therefore high potency NDM-1 inhibitors are urgently needed. Here we report a series of structure-guided design of D-captopril derivatives that can inhibit the activity of NDM-1 in vitro and at cellular levels. Structural comparison indicates the mechanisms of inhibition enhancement and provides insights for further inhibitor optimization.
