  • Nitroxoline and its derivatives are potent inhibitors of metallo-▫$\beta$▫-lactamases
    Proschak, Anna ...
    Carbapenemases such as metallo-[beta]-lactamases (MBLs) are spreading among Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Infections due to these multidrug-resistant bacteria constitute a major global health ... challenge. Therapeutic strategies against carbapenemase producing bacteria include [beta]-lactamase inhibitor combinations. Nitroxoline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with restricted indication for urinary tract infections. In this study, we report on nitroxoline as an inhibitor of MBLs. We investigate the structure-activity relationships of nitroxoline derivatives considering in vitro MBL inhibitory potency in a fluorescence based assay using purified recombinant MBLs, NDM-1 and VIM-1. We investigated the most potent nitroxoline derivative in combination with imipenem against clinical isolates as well as transformants producing MBL by broth microdilution and time-kill kinetics. Our findings demonstrate that nitroxoline derivatives are potent MBL inhibitors and in combination with imipenem overcome MBL-mediated carbapenem resistance.
