Exploring the Antitubercular Activity of Anthranilic Acid Derivatives: From MabA (FabG1) Inhibition to Intrabacterial Acidification

Résumé

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen that causes tuberculosis, is responsible for the death of 1.5 million people each year and the number of bacteria resistant to the standard regimen is constantly increasing. This highlights the need to discover molecules that act on new M. tuberculosis targets. Mycolic acids, which are very long-chain fatty acids essential for M. tuberculosis viability, are synthesized by two types of fatty acid synthase (FAS) systems. MabA (FabG1) is an essential enzyme belonging to the FAS-II cycle. We have recently reported the discovery of anthranilic acids as MabA inhibitors. Here, the structure–activity relationships around the anthranilic acid core, the binding of a fluorinated analog to MabA by NMR experiments, the physico-chemical properties and the antimycobacterial activity of these inhibitors were explored. Further investigation of the mechanism of action in bacterio showed that these compounds affect other targets than MabA in mycobacterial cells and that their antituberculous activity is due to the carboxylic acid moiety which induces intrabacterial acidification.
