Applied Drug Development And Combinatorial Strategies For Antimicrobial Treatment, Steven K. Lai Hing May 2017

Applied Drug Development And Combinatorial Strategies For Antimicrobial Treatment, Steven K. Lai Hing

Andrews Research Conference

Streptococcus mutans JH1140 is a strain of bacteria which produces a lantibiotic product, named mutacin 1140. Mutacin 1140 has been shown to be effective at inhibiting Gram-positive bacterial infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Mutacin 1140 is a ribosomally synthesized peptide antibiotic that undergoes extensive posttranslational modifications (PTM). We have found that Mutacin 1140 and an aminoglycoside, Kanamycin, when combined together, act synergistically against Staphylococcus aureus. This was determined by performing serial kill curve dilution overlays on solid media, followed up with kill curve by microdilution plate, and most recently confirmed with kill curve CFU count plates …

Discovery Of Natural Product-Based Antimycobacterial Agents Effective Against Non-Replicating Bacilli, Shajila Siricilla

Theses and Dissertations (ETD)

New antimycobacterial molecules that kill non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) were identified by screening libraries of synthetic natural products. De novo screening of a 400-membered library of aurachin RE analogs resulted in discovery of UT-317 ((R)-20). UT-317 is a selective vitamin K2 biosynthesis (MenA) inhibitor that killed replicating and non-replicating Mtb at 2.31 μg/mL (MIC) and 0.85 μg/mL, respectively. A 50-membered library of capuramycin analogs was evaluated in their enzymatic inhibitory activities against translocase I (MraY/MurX) and prenyl-phosphate-GlcNAc-1-phosphate transferase (WecA). UT-01320 (45) is identified as a selective WecA inhibitor that kills both replicating and non-replicating Mtb at 1.50 μg/mL (MIC) and …
