Comment: BDM88855 is a bacterial efflux pump inhibitor (EPI), discovered during medicinal chemistry efforts to optimise a series of pyridylpiperazine-based EPIs [2]. BDM88855 has potent activity against the resistance-nodulation-division (RND) family of efflux pumps of Enterobacteriaceae, binding to AcrB, the inner membrane component of the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump [2]. Further structure-based optimisation studies of this lead structure have identified BDM91288, with improved physico-chemical and pharmacokinetic properties [3], and BDM9153, with nanomolar potency [1].
EPIs have potential clinical utility as adjunctive therapeutic agents for the treatment of infections caused by Gram-negative pathogens. |
