New therapeutic targets are required to combat multidrug resistant infections, such as the iron-regulated heme oxygenase (HemO) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, due links between iron and virulence dependence on an source during infection. Herein we report synthesis activity a series iminoguanidine-based inhibitors HemO. Compound 23 showed binding affinity 5.7 μM MIC50 52.3 μg/mL against P. aeruginosa PAO1. An in cellulo assay was developed by coupling HemO biliverdin-IXα-dependent infrared...
We herein report on the pharmacophore determination of ERK docking domain inhibitor (Z)-3-(2-aminoethyl)-5-(4-ethoxybenzylidene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione, which has led to discovery compounds with greater selectivities for inhibiting proliferation melanoma cells containing active signaling.
Bacteria require iron for survival and virulence employ several mechanisms including utilization of the host heme containing proteins. The final step in releasing is oxidative cleavage by HemO. A recent computer aided drug design (CADD) study identified inhibitors bacterial HemOs. Herein we report near complete HN, N, CO, Cα, Cβ chemical shift assignment P. aeruginosa HemO absence presence (E)-3-(4-(phenylamino)phenylcarbamoyl)acrylic acid (3) (E)-N′-(4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene)...
