Lead Identification of 8-(Methylamino)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline Derivatives as DNA Gyrase Inhibitors: Hit-to-Lead Generation Involving Thermodynamic Evaluation.

ABSTRACT: DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV are well-validated pharmacological targets, and quinolone antibacterial drugs are marketed as their representative inhibitors. However, in recent years, resistance to these existing drugs has become a problem, and new chemical classes of antibiotics that can combat resistant strains of bacteria are strongly needed. In this study, we applied our hit-to-lead (H2L) chemistry for the identification of a new chemical class of GyrB/ParE inhibitors by efficient use of thermodynamic parameters. Investigation of the core fragments obtained by fragmentation of high-throughput screening hit compounds and subsequent expansion of the hit fragment was performed using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).
