Abstract:

The problem of drug resistance of Gram-negative bacteria has become increasingly serious and has aroused widespread public concern. The super bacteria producing New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1) are resistant to almost all β-lactam antibiotics. However, clinically existing β-lactamase inhibitors are ineffective against metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) including NDM-1. Therefore, effective NDM-1 inhibitors are urgently needed. In this study, a high-throughput screening model for NDM-1inhibitors was optimized and used to screen NDM-1 inhibitors. As a result, IMB-XH1 was screened out as a novel NDM-1 inhibitor from 52 100 compounds of different sources. The combined use of IMB-XH1 can increase the sensitivity of E. coli BL21(DE3) (pET-30a(+)-NDM-1) to β-lactam antibiotics. Enzymatic kinetic studies indicate that IMB-XH1 is a non-competitive inhibitor of NDM-1 and also has inhibitory activity against other MBLs such as IMP-4, ImiS and L1. As a novel NDM-1 inhibitor, its activity and mechanism of action need to be further explored.
