3 Antibiotics- The past The Golden Age of antibiotic discovery was very brief: 1930s-1950s New antibacterial agents approved in the United tates, , per 5-year period enicillin Cephalosporin treptomycin Erythromycin Tetracycline Vancomycin Boucher HW et al., Clin Infect Dis Jan 1;48(1):1-12. Review I.Wiedemann, University Bonn 3

4 An innovation gap for antibiotic classes C.Walsh, Harvard Medical chool, 2008 I.Wiedemann, University Bonn 4

5 New antibiotics against resistant bacteria Introduction art I: Are there new compounds with new targets/modes of action? ADEs (acyldepsipeptides) Friulimicin (Lipopeptide) art II: Can lantibiotics provide new strategies for the design of future antibiotics? tructure, biosynthesis, mode of action of lantibiotics Multiple activities of the lantibiotic nisin ummary I.Wiedemann, University Bonn 5

6 ADEs - New antibiotics from old patent literature ADEs (acyldepsipeptides) are a new class of antibiotics U patent in 1985: - a mixture of acyldepsipeptides was originally isolated from the culture broth from treptococcus hawaiiensis - report suggested notable in vitro activity against staphylococci and streptococci -tructure determination de novo synthesis synthetic analogs natural product IC µg/ml against gram-positive pathogens Brötz-esterhelt et al., (2005) Nature Medicine 11, 382 (Bayer) I.Wiedemann, University Bonn 6

7 ADEs: mechanism of action The target of ADEs is the bacterial protease roteases degrade improperly folded, damaged or unnecessary proteins (consist of seven Clp subunits and six monomers of AT-dependent ClpX; central pore size is 10 angström) roteins interact with ClpX, are unfolded in an AT-dependent manner and pass through the protease. Inside, the protein is degraded to di- and tripeptides. ADEs bind to Clp inducing degradation of cellular proteins in an unregulated manner Brötz-esterhelt et al., (2005) Nature Medicine 11, 382 (Bayer) I.Wiedemann, University Bonn 7
