Molecular Events

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), an ancient disease which still today causes 1.4 million deaths worldwide per year. Long-term, multi-agent anti-tubercular regimens can lead to the anticipated non-compliance of the patient and increased drug toxicity, which in turn can contribute to the emergence of drug-resistant MTB strains that are not susceptible to first- and second-line available drugs. Hence, there is an urgent need for innovative antitubercular drugs and vaccines. A number of biochemical processes are required to maintain the correct homeostasis of DNA metabolism in all organisms. Here we focused on reviewing our current knowledge and understanding of biochemical and structural aspects of relevance for drug discovery, for some such processes in MTB, and particularly DNA synthesis, synthesis of its nucleotide precursors, and processes that guarantee DNA integrity and genome stability. Overall, the area of drug discovery in DNA metabolism appears very much alive, rich of investigations and promising with respect to new antitubercular drug candidates. However, the complexity of molecular events that occur in DNA metabolic processes requires an accurate characterization of mechanistic details in order to avoid major flaws, and therefore the failure, of drug discovery approaches targeting genome integrity.

ABSTRACT We had recently reported that the mymA operon (Rv3083 to Rv3089) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is regulated by AraC/XylS transcriptional regulator VirS (Rv3082c) and is important for the cell envelope of M. tuberculosis. In this study, we further show that a virS mutant (MtbΔvirS) and a mymA mutant (Mtbmym::hyg) of M. tuberculosis exhibit reduced contents and altered composition of mycolic acids along with the accumulation of saturated C24 and C26 fatty acids compared to the parental strain. These mutants were markedly more susceptible to major antitubercular drugs at acidic pH and also showed increased sensitivity to detergent (sodium dodecyl sulfate) and to acidic stress than the parental strain. We show that disruption of virS and mymA genes impairs the ability of M. tuberculosis to survive in activated macrophages, but not in resting macrophages, suggesting the importance of the mymA operon in protecting the bacterium against harsher conditions. Infection of guinea pigs with MtbΔvirS, Mtbmym::hyg, and the parental strain resulted in an ∼800-fold-reduced bacillary load of the mutant strains compared with the parental strain in spleens, but not in the lungs, of animals at 20 weeks postinfection. Phenotypic traits were fully complemented upon reintroduction of the virS gene into MtbΔvirS. These observations show the important role of the mymA operon in the pathogenesis of M. tuberculosis at later stages of the disease.

Substituted 2-(2-(4-aryloxybenzylidene)hydrazinyl)benzothiazole/benzoxazoles series were designed through molecular hybridization and synthesized in condensation reaction of hydrazinylbenzothiazole/ benzoxazole with substituted aryloxy benzaldehydes. All the synthesized compounds were assigned structure based on spectral data and were evaluated for antimycobacterial activity. Among both benzothiazole and benzoxazole derivatives, the compounds 8f and 9e were found to show most potent antitubercular activity with MIC value of 0.89 and 0.92 μM which are on a par with those of standard antitubercular drugs. In order to know the binding interactions of all the compounds were docked within the mycobacterial pantothenate synthetase, which showed interactions with Asp88, Arg200, Ser196, Asn199, Met 195 and Lys 160 of pantothenate synthetase.
