Pentamidine, an FDA-approved antiparasitic drug, was recently identified as an outer membrane disrupting synergist that potentiates erythromycin, rifampicin, and novobiocin against Gram-negative bacteria. The same study also described a preliminary structure-activity relationship using commercially available pentamidine analogues. We here report the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a broader panel of bis-amidines inspired by pentamidine. The present study both validates the previously observed synergistic activity reported for pentamidine, while further assessing the capacity for structurally similar bis-amidines to also potentiate Gram-positive specific antibiotics against Gram-negative pathogens. Among the bis-amidines prepared, a number of them were found to exhibit synergistic activity greater than pentamidine. These synergists were shown to effectively potentiate the activity of Gram-positive specific antibiotics against multiple Gram-negative pathogens such as Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli, including polymyxin- and carbapenem-resistant strains.

Optimization of a lead series of PI3Kδinhibitors based on a dihydroisobenzofuran core led to the identification of potent, orally bioavailable compound 19. Selectivity profiling of compound 19 showed similar potency for class III PI3K, Vps34, and PI3Kδ, and compound 19 was not well-tolerated in a 7-day rat toxicity study. Structure-based design led to an improvement in selectivity for PI3Kδover Vps34 and, a focus on oral phramacokinetics properties resulted in the discovery of compound 41, which showed improved toxicological outcomes at similar exposure levels to compound 19.
