Abstract
Three mononuclear Ge(IV) compounds, [(C6H5)2Ge(C13H8N2O4)] (1), [(C6H5)2Ge(C14H10N2O5)] (2), and [(C6H5)2Ge(C14H11NO3)] (3), have been synthesized by the reaction of pro-ligands H2L1 (C13H10N2O4), H2L2 (C14H12N2O5), and H2L3 (C14H13NO3) with (C6H5)2GeCl2 in the presence of triethylamine. All compounds were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the germanium(IV) atom exhibits a five-coordinated geometry in compounds 1 and 2. All compounds were screened as Lewis acid catalysts in the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between sodium azide and various nitriles. The reactions resulted in the formation of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles with yields of up to 96%. Based on the experimental findings and DFT calculations, a plausible mechanism is proposed for the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction.

Abstract
Ninety-five years after Fleming's discovery of penicillin, a bounty of antibiotic compounds have been discovered, modified, or synthesised. Diversification of target sites, improved stability and altered activity spectra have enabled continued antibiotic efficacy, but overwhelming reliance and misuse has fuelled the global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). An estimated 1.27 million deaths were attributable to antibiotic resistant bacteria in 2019, representing a major threat to modern medicine. Although antibiotics remain at the heart of strategies for treatment and control of bacterial diseases, the threat of AMR has reached catastrophic proportions urgently calling for fresh innovation. The last decade has been peppered with ground-breaking developments in genome sequencing, high throughput screening technologies and machine learning. These advances have opened new doors for bioprospecting for novel antimicrobials. They have also enabled more thorough exploration of complex and polymicrobial infections and interactions with the healthy microbiome. Using models of infection that more closely resemble the infection state in vivo, we are now beginning to measure the impacts of antimicrobial therapy on host/microbiota/pathogen interactions. However new approaches are needed for developing and standardising appropriate methods to measure efficacy of novel antimicrobial combinations in these contexts. A battery of promising new antimicrobials is now in various stages of development including co-administered inhibitors, phages, nanoparticles, immunotherapy, anti-biofilm and anti-virulence agents. These novel therapeutics need multidisciplinary collaboration and new ways of thinking to bring them into large scale clinical use.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health threat. Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) inactivate β-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems, are disseminating among Gram-negative bacteria, and lack clinically useful inhibitors. The evolving bisthiazolidine (BTZ) scaffold inhibits all three MBL subclasses (B1-B3). We report design, synthesis, and evaluation of BTZ analogues. Structure-activity relationships identified the BTZ thiol as essential, while carboxylate is replaceable, with its removal enhancing potency by facilitating hydrophobic interactions within the MBL active site. While the introduction of a flexible aromatic ring is neutral or detrimental for inhibition, a rigid (fused) ring generated nM benzobisheterocycle (BBH) inhibitors that potentiated carbapenems against MBL-producing strains. Crystallography of BBH:MBL complexes identified hydrophobic interactions as the basis of potency toward B1 MBLs. These data underscore BTZs as versatile, potent broad-spectrum MBL inhibitors (with activity extending to enzymes refractory to other inhibitors) and provide a rational approach to further improve the tricyclic BBH scaffold.

Abstract
Identifying binding sites on the protein surface is an important part of computer-assisted drug design processes. Reliable prediction of binding sites not only assists with docking algorithms, but it can also explain the possible side-effects of a potential drug as well as its efficiency. In this work, we propose a novel workflow for predicting possible binding sites of a ligand on a protein surface. We use proteins from the PDBbind and sc-PDB databases, from which we combine available ligand information for similar proteins using all the possible ligands rather than only a special sub-selection to generalize the work of existing research. After performing protein clustering and merging of ligands of similar proteins, we use a three-dimensional convolutional neural network that takes into account the spatial structure of a protein. Lastly, we combine ligandability predictions for points on protein surfaces into joint binding sites. Analysis of our model's performance shows that its achieved sensitivity is 0.829, specificity is 0.98, and F1 score is 0.517, and that for 54% of larger and pharmacologically relevant binding sites, the distance between their real and predicted centers amounts to less than 4 Å.

Abstract
With the emergence and rapid spreading of NDM-1 and existence of clinically relevant VIM-1 and IMP-1, discovery of pan inhibitors targeting metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) became critical in our battle against bacterial infection. Concurrent with our fragment and high-throughput screenings, we performed a knowledge-based search of known metallo-beta-lactamase inhibitors (MBLIs) to identify starting points for early engagement of medicinal chemistry. A class of compounds exemplified by 11, discovered earlier as B. fragilis metallo-beta-lactamase inhibitors, was selected for in silico virtual screening. From these efforts, compound 12 was identified with activity against NDM-1 only. Initial exploration on metal binding design followed by structure-guided optimization led to the discovery of a series of compounds represented by 23 with a pan MBL inhibition profile. In in vivo studies, compound 23 in combination with imipenem (IPM) robustly lowered the bacterial burden in a murine infection model and became the lead for the invention of MBLI clinical candidates.

Abstract
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) represent an increasingly serious threat to public health because of their increased prevalence worldwide in relevant opportunistic Gram-negative pathogens. MBLs efficiently inactivate widely used and most valuable β-lactam antibiotics, such as oxyiminocephalosporins (ceftriaxone, ceftazidime) and the last-resort carbapenems. To date, no MBL inhibitor has been approved for therapeutic applications. We are developing inhibitors characterized by a 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione scaffold as an original zinc ligand and few promising series were already reported. Here, we present the synthesis and evaluation of a new series of compounds characterized by the presence of an arylalkyl substituent at position 4 of the triazole ring. The alkyl link was mainly an ethylene, but a few compounds without alkyl or with an alkyl group of various lengths up to a butyl chain were also synthesized. Some compounds in both sub-series were micromolar to submicromolar inhibitors of tested VIM-type MBLs. A few of them were broad-spectrum inhibitors, as they showed significant inhibitory activity on NDM-1 and, to a lesser extent, IMP-1. Among these, several inhibitors were able to significantly reduce the meropenem MIC on VIM-1- and VIM-4- producing clinical isolates by up to 16-fold. In addition, ACE inhibition was absent or moderate and one promising compound did not show toxicity toward HeLa cells at concentrations up to 250 μM. This series represents a promising basis for further exploration. Finally, molecular modelling of representative compounds in complex with VIM-2 was performed to study their binding mode.

Abstract
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) hydrolyze almost all β-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems; however, no effective inhibitors are currently clinically available. MBLs are classified into three subclasses: B1, B2, and B3. Although the amino acid sequences of MBLs are varied, their overall scaffold is well conserved. In this study, we systematically studied the primary sequences and crystal structures of all subclasses of MBLs, especially the core scaffold, the zinc-coordinating residues in the active site, and the substrate-binding pocket. We presented the conserved structural features of MBLs in the same subclass and the characteristics of MBLs of each subclass. The catalytic zinc ions are bound with four loops from the two central β-sheets in the conserved αβ/βα sandwich fold of MBLs. The three external loops cover the zinc site(s) from the outside and simultaneously form a substrate-binding pocket. In the overall structure, B1 and B2 MBLs are more closely related to each other than they are to B3 MBLs. However, B1 and B3 MBLs have two zinc ions in the active site, while B2 MBLs have one. The substrate-binding pocket is different among all three subclasses, which is especially important for substrate specificity and drug resistance. Thus far, various classes of β-lactam antibiotics have been developed to have modified ring structures and substituted R groups. Currently available structures of β-lactam-bound MBLs show that the binding of β-lactams is well conserved according to the overall chemical structure in the substrate-binding pocket. Besides β-lactam substrates, B1 and cross-class MBL inhibitors also have distinguished differences in the chemical structure, which fit well to the substrate-binding pocket of MBLs within their inhibitory spectrum. The systematic structural comparison among B1, B2, and B3 MBLs provides in-depth insight into their substrate specificity, which will be useful for developing a clinical inhibitor targeting MBLs.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a massive problem rising constantly and spreading rapidly since the past decade. The major underlying mechanism responsible for this problem is an overuse or severe misuse of antibiotics. Regardless of this emerging global threat, antibiotics are still being widely used, not only for treatment of human infections, but also to a great extent in agriculture, livestock and animal husbandry. If the current scenario persists, we might enter into a post-antibiotic era where drugs might not be able to treat even the simplest of infections. This review discusses the current status of antibiotic utilization and molecular basis of antibiotic resistance mechanisms acquired by bacteria, along with the modes of transmittance of the resultant resistant genes into human pathogens through their cycling among different ecosystems. The main focus of the article is to provide an insight into the different molecular and other strategies currently being studied worldwide for their use as an alternate to antibiotics with an overall aim to overcome or minimize the global problem of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the major problems in current practical medicine. The spread of genes coding for resistance determinants among bacteria challenges the use of approved antibiotics, narrowing the options for treatment. Resistance to carbapenems, last resort antibiotics, is a major concern. Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) hydrolyze carbapenems, penicillins, and cephalosporins, becoming central to this problem. These enzymes diverge with respect to serine-β-lactamases by exhibiting a different fold, active site, and catalytic features. Elucidating their catalytic mechanism has been a big challenge in the field that has limited the development of useful inhibitors. This review covers exhaustively the details of the active-site chemistries, the diversity of MBL alleles, the catalytic mechanism against different substrates, and how this information has helped developing inhibitors. We also discuss here different aspects critical to understand the success of MBLs in conferring resistance: the molecular determinants of their dissemination, their cell physiology, from the biogenesis to the processing involved in the transit to the periplasm, and the uptake of the Zn(II) ions upon metal starvation conditions, such as those encountered during an infection. In this regard, the chemical, biochemical and microbiological aspects provide an integrative view of the current knowledge of MBLs.

Abstract
The polar-π effect on tetrazoles, medicinal chemistry isosteres of carboxylate, is tested by a Hammett pKa (microtitration) analysis over a series of 5-(m-terphenyl-2'-yl)-1H-tetrazoles. A comparison with m-terphenyl-2'-yl-carboxylic acids supports the isostere analogy also in response to environmental changes. Computational (B97D/def2TZVPPD) extension of the series plus a scan of solvents (vacuum to water) demonstrates the trend with the dielectric constant. The effect is energetically small but may make statistically significant contributions to the tetrazole pharmacological profile.

Abstract
Background: Infections caused by metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs)-producing antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a severe threat to public health. The synergistic use of current antibiotics in combination with MβL inhibitors is a promising therapeutic mode against these antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Objectives: The study aimed to probe the inhibition of MβLs and obtain the active component, P1, in the degradation product after imipenem was hydrolyzed by ImiS. Methods: The hydrolysis of two carbapenems with MβL ImiS was monitored by UV-Vis in real-time, and the degradation product from the leaving group produced after imipenem was hydrolyzed (but not for faropenem) was purified by HPLC to give one component, P1. Results: Kinetic assays revealed that P1 exhibited a broad-spectrum inhibition against VIM-2, NDM-1, ImiS, and L1, from three sub-classes of MβLs, with IC50 values of 8 - 32, 13.8 - 29.3, and 14.2 - 19.2 µM, using imipenem, cefazolin, and nitrocefin as substrates, respectively. Also, P1 showed synergistic antibacterial efficacy against drug-resistant Escherichia coli producing VIM-2, NDM-1, ImiS, and L1, in combination with antibiotics, restoring 16 to 32-fold and 32 to 128-fold efficacies of imipenem and cefazolin, respectively. Spectroscopic and Ellman's reagent analyses suggested that P1, a mercaptoethyl-form imidamide, is a mechanism-based inhibitor, while faropenem has no substrate inhibition, due to the lack of a leaving group. Conclusions: This work reveals that the hydrolysate of imipenem, a carbapenem with a good leaving group, can be used in screening for broad-spectrum inhibitors of MβLs.

Abstract
We use mass spectrometry (MS), under denaturing and non-denaturing solution conditions, along with ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) to characterize structural variations in New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) upon perturbation by ligands or mutation. Mapping changes in the abundances and distributions of fragment ions enables sensitive detection of structural alterations throughout the protein. Binding of three covalent inhibitors was characterized: a pentafluorphenyl ester, an O-aryloxycarbonyl hydroxamate, and ebselen. The first two inhibitors modify Lys211 and maintain dizinc binding, although the pentafluorophenyl ester is not selective (Lys214 and Lys216 are also modified). Ebselen reacts with the sole Cys (Cys208) and ejects Zn2 from the active site. For each inhibitor, native UVPD-MS enabled simultaneous detection of the closing of a substrate-binding beta-hairpin loop, identification of covalently-modified residue(s), reporting of the metalation state of the enzyme, and in the case of ebselen, observation of the induction of partial disorder in the C-terminus of the protein. Owing to the ability of native UVPD-MS to track structural changes and metalation state with high sensitivity, we further used this method to evaluate the impact of mutations found in NDM clinical variants. Changes introduced by NDM-4 (M154L) and NDM-6 (A233V) are revealed to propagate through separate networks of interactions to direct zinc ligands, and the combination of these two mutations in NDM-15 (M154L, A233V) results in additive as well as additional structural changes. Insight from UVPD-MS helps to elucidate how distant mutations impact zinc affinity in the evolution of this antibiotic resistance determinant. UVPD-MS is a powerful tool capable of simultaneous reporting of ligand binding, conformational changes and metalation state of NDM, revealing structural aspects of ligand recognition and clinical variants that have proven difficult to probe. We use mass spectrometry (MS) along with ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) to characterize structural variations in New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) upon perturbation by ligands or mutation.![]()

Abstract
AutoDock is one of the most popular receptor-ligand docking simulation programs. It was first released in the early 1990s and is in continuous development and adapted to specific protein targets. AutoDock has been applied to a wide range of biological systems. It has been used not only for protein-ligand docking simulation but also for the prediction of binding affinity with good correlation with experimental binding affinity for several protein systems. The latest version makes use of a semi-empirical force field to evaluate protein-ligand binding affinity and for selecting the lowest energy pose in docking simulation. AutoDock4.2.6 has an arsenal of four search algorithms to carry out docking simulation including simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, and Lamarckian algorithm. In this chapter, we describe a tutorial about how to perform docking with AutoDock4. We focus our simulations on the protein target cyclin-dependent kinase 2.

Abstract
The antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activities of a series of saccharin-tetrazolyl and -thiadiazolyl analogs were examined. The assessment of the antimicrobial properties of the referred-to molecules was completed through an evaluation of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and yeasts. Scrutiny of the MIC and MBC values of the compounds at pH 4.0, 7.0, and 9.0 against four Gram-positive strains revealed high values for both the MIC and MBC at pH 4.0 (ranging from 0.98 to 125 µg/mL) and moderate values at pH 7.0 and 9.0, exposing strong antimicrobial activities in an acidic medium. An antioxidant activity analysis of the molecules was performed by using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method, which showed high activity for the TSMT (N-(1-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-N-(1,1-dioxo-1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl) amine, 7) derivative (90.29% compared to a butylated hydroxytoluene positive control of 61.96%). Besides, the general toxicity of the saccharin analogs was evaluated in an Artemia salina model, which displayed insignificant toxicity values. In turn, upon an assessment of cell viability, all of the compounds were found to be nontoxic in range concentrations of 0-100 µg/mL in H7PX glioma cells. The tested molecules have inspiring antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that represent potential core structures in the design of new drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases.

Abstract
The 'superbug' infection caused by metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs) has grown into an emergent health threat. Given the clinical importance of MβLs, a novel scaffold, dithiocarbamate, was constructed. The obtained molecules, DC1, DC8 and DC10, inhibited MβLs NDM-1, VIM-2, IMP-1, ImiS and L1 from all three subclasses, exhibiting an IC50 < 26 μM. DC1 was found to be the best inhibitor of ImiS (IC50 < 0.22 μM). DC1-2, DC4, DC8 and DC10 restored antimicrobial effects of cefazolin and imipenem against E. coli-BL21, producing NDM-1, ImiS or L1, and DC1 showed the best inhibition of E. coli cells, expressing the three MβLs, resulting in a 2-16-fold reduction in the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of both antibiotics. Kinetics and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) assays showed that DC1 exhibited a reversible, and partially mixed inhibition, of NDM-1, ImiS and L1, with Ki values of 0.29, 0.14 and 5.06 µM, respectively. Docking studies suggest that the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups of DC1 form coordinate bonds with the Zn (II) ions, in the active center of NDM-1, ImiS and L1, thereby inhibiting the activity of the enzymes. Cytotoxicity assays showed that DC1, DC3, DC7 and DC9 have low toxicity in L929 mouse fibroblastic cells, at a dose of up to 250 μM. These studies revealed that the dithiocarbamate is a valuable scaffold for the development of MβLs inhibitors.

Abstract
Mutations in bacteria can result in antibiotic resistance due to the overuse or abuse of β-lactam antibiotics. One strategy which bacteria can become resistance toward antibiotics is secreting of metallo β-lactamase enzymes that can open the lactam ring of the β-lactam antibiotic and inactivate them. This issue is a threat for human health and one strategy to overcome this situation is co-administration of β-lactam antibiotics with an inhibitor. So far, no clinically available inhibitors of metallo β-lactamases (MBLs) reported and the clinically inhibitors of serine β-lactamase are useless for MBLs. Accordingly, finding a potent inhibitor of the MBLs being very important. In this study, imidazole derivatives primarily were synthesized and their inhibitory activity were measured. Later in silico binding model was used to predict the configuration and conformation of the ligands into the active site of enzyme. Two molecules demonstrated with IC50 of 39 µM and 46 µM against MBL (IMP-1).

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria is occurring due to the global overuse and misuse of β-lactam antibiotics. Infections caused by some bacteria which secrete metallo-β-lactamases (enzymes that inactivate β-lactam antibiotics) are increasingly prevalent and have become a major worldwide threat to human health. These bacteria are resistant to β-lactam antibiotics and MBL-inhibitor/β-lactam antibiotic combination therapy can be a strategy to overcome this problem. So far, no clinically available inhibitors of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) have been reported. In this study, L-benzyl tyrosine thiol carboxylic acid analogues (2a–2k) were synthesized after the study of computational simulation by adding of methyl, chloro, bromo and nitro groups to the benzyl ring for investigation of SAR analysis. Although the synthesized molecules 2a–k shows the potent inhibitory effects against metallo-β-lactamase (IMP-1) with the range of Kic values of 1.04–4.77 µM, they are not as potent as the candidate inhibitor.

Abstract
Serine and metallo-carbapenemases are a serious health concern due to their capability to hydrolyze nearly all β-lactam antibiotics. However, the molecular basis for their unique broad-spectrum substrate profile is poorly understood, particularly for serine carbapenemases, such as KPC-2. Using substrates and newly identified small molecules, we compared the ligand binding properties of KPC-2 with the noncarbapenemase CTX-M-14, both of which are Class A β-lactamases with highly similar active sites. Notably, compared to CTX-M-14, KPC-2 was more potently inhibited by hydrolyzed β-lactam products (product inhibition), as well as by a series of novel tetrazole-based inhibitors selected from molecular docking against CTX-M-14. Together with complex crystal structures, these data suggest that the KPC-2 active site has an enhanced ability to form favorable interactions with substrates and small molecule ligands due to its increased hydrophobicity and flexibility. Such properties are even more pronounced in metallo-carbapenemases, such as NDM-1, which was also inhibited by some of the novel tetrazole compounds, including one displaying comparable low μM affinities against both KPC-2 and NDM-1. Our results suggest that carbapenemase activity confers an evolutionary advantage on producers via a broad β-lactam substrate scope but also a mechanistic Achilles' heel that can be exploited for new inhibitor discovery. The complex structures demonstrate, for the first time, how noncovalent inhibitors can be engineered to simultaneously target both serine and metallo-carbapenemases. Despite the relatively modest activity of the current compounds, these studies also demonstrate that hydrolyzed products and tetrazole-based chemotypes can provide valuable starting points for broad-spectrum inhibitor discovery against carbapenemases.

Abstract
Tetrazole derivatives are a prime class of heterocycles, very important to medicinal chemistry and drug design due to not only their bioisosterism to carboxylic acid and amide moieties but also to their metabolic stability and other beneficial physicochemical properties. Although more than 20 FDA-approved drugs contain 1 H- or 2 H-tetrazole substituents, their exact binding mode, structural biology, 3D conformations, and in general their chemical behavior is not fully understood. Importantly, multicomponent reaction (MCR) chemistry offers convergent access to multiple tetrazole scaffolds providing the three important elements of novelty, diversity, and complexity, yet MCR pathways to tetrazoles are far from completely explored. Here, we review the use of multicomponent reactions for the preparation of substituted tetrazole derivatives. We highlight specific applications and general trends holding therein and discuss synthetic approaches and their value by analyzing scope and limitations, and also enlighten their receptor binding mode. Finally, we estimated the prospects of further research in this field.

Abstract
A new series of bis/mono ethyl-1-aryl-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylate has been synthesized by treating respective tetrazole with ethyl chloroformate in THF and DIPEA as a catalyst. The structure of the novel molecule is characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and mass spectra. After conforming the structure, bis/mono ethyl-1-aryl-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylate was subjected to hydrolysis under both acidic and basic conditions. The hydrolysis reaction did not occur; to know the relevant reason, we move to theoretical studies. DFT B3LYP method was used to determine the optimized structure and HOMO & LUMO energies of the title molecule. The energy was found to be from 4.23-5.31 eV. Energy gap was related to hardness and reactivity. Additionally, we provide the reason with respect to AIM analysis, which was performed for one molecule. The synthesized title molecules were characterized by IR, 1H & 13C NMR, mass and elemental analysis. Theoretical studies such as DFT and AIM analysis were also performed. All the synthesized compounds were verified by analytical data such as IR, NMR, elemental analysis, mass spectra and theoretical studies such as DFT and AIM analysis. The HOMO & LUMO energy was found to be from 4.5 eV to 5.2 eV. More energy gap results in enriched hardness in the molecule and decreased reactivity. From the AIM analysis result, we found that there is a formation of a weak bond between the oxygen of the carbonyl group and carbon of the phenyl group. Due to these reasons, the title molecule did not undergo hydrolysis reaction under both acidic and basic conditions. We report on the synthesis and characterization of bis/mono ethyl-1-aryl-1H-tetrazole-5- carboxylate. HOMO & LUMO energy were found to be 4.5 – 5.2 eV. High energy will increase the hardness of the molecule which will result in decreased reactivity of the molecule. Additionally, we provide AIM analysis done for the compound 6a and there is formation of a weak bond between the oxygen of the carbonyl group and carbon of the phenyl group. Oxygen used its lone pair of electron in the formation of a weak bond with carbon and hence oxygen become unreactive and so the hydrolysis reaction did not happen.

Abstract
Since the early 1980s, we have witnessed considerable progress in the development and application of docking programs to assess protein-ligand interactions. Most of these applications had as a goal the identification of potential new binders to protein targets. Another remarkable progress is taking place in the determination of the structures of protein-ligand complexes, mostly using X-ray diffraction crystallography. Considering these developments, we have a favorable scenario for the creation of a computational tool that integrates into one workflow all steps involved in molecular docking simulations. We had these goals in mind when we developed the program SAnDReS. This program allows the integration of all computational features related to modern docking studies into one workflow. SAnDReS not only carries out docking simulations but also evaluates several docking protocols allowing the selection of the best approach for a given protein system. SAnDReS is a free and open-source (GNU General Public License) computational environment for running docking simulations. Here, we describe the combination of SAnDReS and AutoDock4 for protein-ligand docking simulations. AutoDock4 is a free program that has been applied to over a thousand receptor-ligand docking simulations. The dataset described in this chapter is available for downloading at https://github.com/azevedolab/sandres.

Abstract
Tetrazoles are conjugated nitrogen-rich heterocycles considered as bio-isosteres of carboxylic acids. Tetrazoles owing to their conjugated structures serve as biologically relevant potent scaffolds. The present research paper reports the successful synthesis and single crystal analysis of three different tetrazole derivatives (2, 4, 6). The synthesized tetrazole derivatives were evaluated for their possible cytotoxicity LD50 (52.89, 49.33, 17.28 μg/ml) and antileishmanial activities IC50 (0.166, 10, 5.0 μg/ml). Moreover, molecular docking studies were performed to determine the possible interaction sites of the tetrazole derivatives (2, 4, 6) with TryR, an enzyme involved in the redox metabolism of the Leishmania parasite. Docking computations demonstrates that the tetrazole derivatives (2, 4, 6) established prominent binding interactions with the key residues of the TryR and possess the potential to effectively inhibit the catalytic activities of the enzyme. The results suggested that the synthesized tetrazole derivative (2, 4, 6) can be possible hit candidates which can be tested further against amastigote stage of parasite and then in an animal model of leishmaniasis.

Abstract
The worldwide proliferation of life-threatening metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Gram-negative bacteria is a serious concern to public health. MBLs are compromising the therapeutic efficacies of β-lactams, particularly carbapenems, which are last-resort antibiotics indicated for various multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. Inhibition of enzymes mediating antibiotic resistance in bacteria is one of the major promising means for overcoming bacterial resistance. Compounds having potential MBL-inhibitory activity have been reported, but none are currently under clinical trials. The need for developing safe and efficient MBL inhibitors (MBLIs) is obvious, particularly with the continuous spread of MBLs worldwide. In this review, the emergence and escalation of MBLs in Gram-negative bacteria are discussed. The relationships between different class B β-lactamases identified up to 2017 are represented by a phylogenetic tree and summarized. In addition, approved and/or clinical-phase serine β-lactamase inhibitors are recapitulated to reflect the successful advances made in developing class A β-lactamase inhibitors. Reported MBLIs, their inhibitory properties, and their purported modes of inhibition are delineated. Insights into structural variations of MBLs and the challenges involved in developing potent MBLIs are also elucidated and discussed. Currently, natural products and MBL-resistant β-lactam analogues are the most promising agents that can become clinically efficient MBLIs. A deeper comprehension of the mechanisms of action and activity spectra of the various MBLs and their inhibitors will serve as a bedrock for further investigations that can result in clinically useful MBLIs to curb this global menace.

Abstract
The global rise of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) is problematic due to their ability to inactivate most β-lactam antibiotics. MBL inhibitors that could be coadministered with and restore the efficacy of β-lactams are highly sought after. In this study, we employ virtual screening of candidate MBL inhibitors without thiols or carboxylates to avoid off-target effects using the Avalanche software package, followed by experimental validation of the selected compounds. As target enzymes, we chose the clinically relevant B1 MBLs NDM-1, IMP-1, and VIM-2. Among 32 compounds selected from an approximately 1.5 million compound library, 6 exhibited IC50 values less than 40 μM against NDM-1 and/or IMP-1. The most potent inhibitors of NDM-1, IMP-1, and VIM-2 had IC50 values of 19 ± 2, 14 ± 1, and 50 ± 20 μM, respectively. While chemically diverse, the most potent inhibitors all contain combinations of hydroxyl, ketone, ester, amide, or sulfonyl groups. Docking studies suggest that these electron-dense moieties are involved in Zn(II) coordination and interaction with protein residues. These novel scaffolds could serve as the basis for further development of MBL inhibitors. A procedure for renaming NDM-1 residues to conform to the class B β-lactamase (BBL) numbering scheme is also included.

Abstract
The 'superbug' infection caused by metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs) including L1 has grown into an emerging threat. To probe whether mercaptoacetate thioesters inhibiting L1 is a contribution of the thioester itself or its hydrolysate, ten mercaptoacetate thioesters 1-10 were synthesized, which specifically inhibited L1, exhibiting IC50 values ranging from 0.17 to 1.2 μM, and 8 was found to be the best inhibitor (IC50 = 0.17 μM). These thioesters restored the antimicrobial activity of cefazolin against E. coli expressing L1 by 2-4-fold. UV-vis monitoring showed that 1, 8 and 9 were unhydrolyzed in Tris buffer (pH 6.0-8.5), but hydrolyzed by L1; further HPLC monitoring indicated that 1/3 of the thioester 9 was converted to mercaptoacetic acid. STD-NMR monitoring suggested that both the thioester and its hydrolysate mercaptoacetic acid jointly inhibited L1.

Abstract
There are currently no clinically available inhibitors of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), enzymes that hydrolyze β-lactam antibiotics and confer resistance to Gram-negative bacteria. Here we present 6-phosphonomethylpyridine-2-carboxylates (PMPCs) as potent inhibitors of subclass B1 (IMP-1, VIM-2, and NDM-1) and B3 (L1) MBLs. Inhibition followed a competitive, slow-binding model without an isomerization step (IC50 values of 0.3-7.2 μM; Ki values of 0.03-1.5 μM). Minimum inhibitory concentration assays demonstrated potentiation of β-lactam (Meropenem) activity against MBL-producing bacteria, including clinical isolates, at concentrations at which eukaryotic cells remain viable. Crystal structures revealed unprecedented modes of binding of inhibitor to B1 (IMP-1) and B3 (L1) MBLs. In IMP-1, binding does not replace the nucleophilic hydroxide, and the PMPC carboxylate and pyridine nitrogen interact closely (2.3 and 2.7 Å, respectively) with the Zn2 ion of the binuclear metal site. The phosphonate group makes limited interactions but is 2.6 Å from the nucleophilic hydroxide. Furthermore, the presence of a water molecule interacting with the PMPC phosphonate and pyridine N-C2 π-bond, as well as the nucleophilic hydroxide, suggests that the PMPC binds to the MBL active site as its hydrate. Binding is markedly different in L1, with the phosphonate displacing both Zn2, forming a monozinc enzyme, and the nucleophilic hydroxide, while also making multiple interactions with the protein main chain and Zn1. The carboxylate and pyridine nitrogen interact with Ser221 and -223, respectively (3 Å distance). The potency, low toxicity, cellular activity, and amenability to further modification of PMPCs indicate these and similar phosphonate compounds can be further considered for future MBL inhibitor development.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2017; 27:5225-5229.

Abstract
In an effort to develop new inhibitors of metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs), twenty-eight azolylthioacetamides were synthesized and assayed against MβLs. The obtained benzimidazolyl and benzioxazolyl substituted 1-19 specifically inhibited the enzyme ImiS, and 10 was found to be the most potent inhibitor of ImiS with an IC50 value of 15 nM. The nitrobenzimidazolyl substituted 20-28 specifically inhibited NDM-1, with 27 being the most potent inhibitor with an IC50 value of 170 nM. Further studies with 10, 11, and 27 revealed a mixed inhibition mode with competitive and uncompetitive inhibition constants in a similar range as the IC50 values. These inhibitors resulted in a 2-4-fold decrease in imipenem MIC values using E. coli cells producing ImiS or NDM-1. While the source of uncompetitive (possibly allosteric) inhibition remains unclear, docking studies indicate that 10 and 11 may interact orthosterically with Zn2 in the active site of CphA, while 27 could bridge the two Zn(II) ions in the active site of NDM-1 via its nitro group.

Abstract
The ability to design and fine-tune non-covalent interactions between organic ligands and proteins is indispensable to rational drug development. Aromatic stacking has long been recognized as one of the key constituents of ligand-protein interfaces. In this communication, we employ a two-parameter geometric model to conduct a large-scale statistical analysis of aromatic contacts in the experimental and computer-generated structures of ligand-protein complexes, considering various combinations of aromatic amino acid residues and ligand rings. The geometry of interfacial π-π stacking in crystal structures accords with experimental and theoretical data collected for simple systems, such as the benzene dimer. Many contemporary ligand docking programs implicitly treat aromatic stacking with van der Waals and Coulombic potentials. Although this approach generally provides a sufficient specificity to model aromatic interactions, the geometry of π-π contacts in high-scoring docking conformations could still be improved. The comprehensive analysis of aromatic geometries at ligand-protein interfaces lies the foundation for the development of type-specific statistical potentials to more accurately describe aromatic interactions in molecular docking. A Perl script to detect and calculate the geometric parameters of aromatic interactions in ligand-protein complexes is available at https://github.com/michal-brylinski/earomatic. The dataset comprising experimental complex structures and computer-generated models is available at https://osf.io/rztha/.
