Abstract
Background: Antibiotic resistance, which occurs through the action of metallo-β-lactamases (NDM-1), is a serious problem in the treatment of infectious diseases. Therefore, the discovery of new NDM-1 inhibitors and promising antibacterial agents as inhibitors of alternative targets (MetAP-1) is important. Method & results: In this study, a virtual library of 5-arylidene barbituric acids was created and molecular docking was performed for identification of novel possible inhibitors of NDM-1 and MetAP-1. Antibacterial activity (agar well-diffusion assay) and cytotoxicity (alamarBlue assay) of perspective compounds were evaluated. Pharmacokinetic profiles and molecular properties were predicted. Conclusion: We have identified possible novel inhibitors of NDM-1 and MetAP-1 with bacteriostatic activity, most of which are not cytotoxic and have potential excellent drug-likeness properties.
