“History of humankind can be regarded from a medicinal point of view as a struggle against infectious diseases”

Yoneyama, H., Katsumata, R., Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem., 2006, 70,1060

Kevin D Walker
How ancient people survived? Using nature.

Survival against infectious diseases

Kevin D Walker
They used natural resources to fight the infectious diseases. Nature was the solution at all times.

What are antibiotics?Molecules that stop the microbial growth (both bacteria and fungi) or kill them outright

Walsh, C., Antibiotics Actions origins and Resistance, 2003, 4

Owner
Commonest infectious diseases like Lower respiratory tract diseases, Meningitis, Diarrhea can be cured using Antibiotics.

How do the antibiotics act against bacteria?

Nature helps in designing the total synthetic molecules.

Natural products as antibiotics Naturally occurring compounds that are end products

of secondary metabolism. Mostly extracted from plants, marine organisms, or

microorganisms.

Almost every drug so far has derived from nature. For novel drugs why wouldn't we rely on nature. So best way to find new drugs is by searching them in nature.

Extraction to the solvents

Isolation and Structure Elucidation

Bioassay guided fractionation

Approach AConventional way of NP discoveryWhy isn’t it successful?

Problems associated with the growth or the availability of the source

Replication of the hits Do not distinguish novel from old Mostly miss the novel compounds due to the lack of

sensitivity No hints about MOA Cannot reveal potency at screening stage

The biosynthetic pathway of producing that precursor is interrupted. So the organism has to use the supplied analog.This method will lead to produce new compounds which are possibly biologically active.

The low FabF expressing S.aureus cells were made using described technique and the natural products were screened against them. They found only one hit which led to the discovery of Platensimycin.
Kevin D Walker
The organism is modified such a way that it's not capable of normal expression of a useful protein to it's survival. So it is indeed disable. So more prone to be affected by even relatively weaker inhibitor then.That gives the organism to show higher sensitivity towards the inhibitors of that specific enzyme.

The flouro groups make the phosphate group in the first analog to be doubly charged be changing the 2nd pKa to a low value. So it doesn't act as a very good inhibitor.

Here the increased electrophilicity of the carbonyl by fluoro groups led the first compound to be more potent, since nuclephile would favour attacking it more than attacking the natural substrate.

Kevin D Walker
Nature is the best source of antibiotics, forever.Looking at it in different ways and being creative will result in finding more and more drugs in future.

Please, Don’t flush!

Average american receives more than 11 prescriptions a year.

About 3.3 billion a total.
