Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: PBT2 is an orally administered, safe-in-humans zinc ionophore. Chemically it is an 8-hydroxyquinoline analogue. PBT2 has been classified as a metal-protein attenuating compound (MPAC), and is designed to interfere with zinc ion interactions with proteins.
Antibacterial activity: Whilst not active alone, PBT2 + zinc + antibacterial 'X' acts synergistically to overcome acquired bacterial-resistance to antibacterial 'X' (which can include clinically used antibacterials). This strategy produces activity against antibacterial-resistant Gram-positive pathogens [1]. SARS-CoV-2: Based on evidence from previous studies in MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-1, zinc modulation (e.g. by PBT2 or disulfiram [4]) has been proposed as a potential mechanism for the prophylaxis/treatment of COVID-19. Altering zinc ion levels is predicted to affect activity of host and/or viral zinc-containing metalloenzymes. |
