Structure-activity relationship study and optimisation of 2-aminopyrrole-1-benzyl-4,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile as a broad spectrum metallo-β-lactamase inhibitor.

A SAR study on derivatives of 2-amino-1-benzyl-4,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile 5a revealed that the 3-carbonitrile group, vicinal 4,5-diphenyl and N-benzyl side chains of the pyrrole are important for the inhibitory potencies of these compounds against members representing the three main subclasses of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), i.e. IMP-1 (representing the B1 subgroup), CphA (B2) and AIM-1 (B3). Coupling of 5a with a series of acyl chlorides and anhydrides led to the discovery of two N-acylamide derivatives, 10 and 11, as the two most potent IMP-1 inhibitors in this series. However, these compounds are less effective towards CphA and AIM-1. The N-benzoyl derivative of 5a retained potent in vitro activity against each of MBLs tested (with inhibition constants in the low μM range). Importantly, this compound also significantly enhanced the sensitivity of IMP-1, CphA- or AIM-1-producing cell cultures towards meropenem. This compound presents a promising starting point for the development of a universal MBL inhibitor, targeting members of each of the major subgroups of this family of enzymes.
