  • Design and synthesis of new peptidomimetics as potential inhibitors of MurE
    Živec, Matej, 1979- ...
    With the continuing emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria, there is an urgent need for the development of new antimicrobial agents. One possible source of new antibacterial targets is ... the biosynthesis of the bacterial cellwall peptidoglycan. The assembly of the peptide stem is carried out by four essential enzymes, known as the Mur ligases (MurC, D, E and F). We have designed and synthesised a focused library of compounds as potential inhibitors of UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate:L-lysine ligase (MurE) from Staphylococcus aureus. This was achieved using two approaches: (i) synthesis of transition-state analogues based on the methyleneamino core; and (ii) synthesis of MurE reaction product analogues. Two methyleneamino-based compounds are identified as initial hits for inhibitors of MurE.
