Screening of 127 isoniazid (INH)-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Singapore for mutations within the dfrA and inhA genes revealed mutations in 0 and 5 (3.9%) isolates respectively, implying that mutations in dfrA do not contribute to the detection of INH-resistant M. tuberculosis and that mutations within inhA are rare. Thirty-seven (29%) of the 127 isolates had no mutations in any of the genes implicated in INH resistance (katG, kasA, and ndh; inhA and ahpC promoters), suggesting that there are new INH targets yet to be discovered.

Abstract We previously identified a diazaborine series with potential for development as a new tuberculosis drug. This series has activity in vitro and in vivo and targets cell wall biosynthesis via inhibition of InhA. We tested the ability of two molecules of the diazaborine series to kill non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the nutrient starvation model; both molecules were bactericidal, reducing viability by >3 logs in 21 days. Activity was not inoculum-dependent and showed similar kill rates to other InhA inhibitors (isoniazid and NITD-916). We conclude that inhibition of InhA is bactericidal against nutrient-starved non-replicating M. tuberculosis .

The overall aim of this study was to determine whether InhA inhibitors have activity against non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis .

InhA is a well validated Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) target as evidenced by the clinical success of isoniazid. Translating enzyme inhibition to bacterial cidality by targeting the fatty acid substrate site of InhA remains a daunting challenge. The recent disclosure of a methyl-thiazole series demonstrates that bacterial cidality can be achieved with potent enzyme inhibition and appropriate physicochemical properties. In this study, we report the molecular mode of action of a lead methyl-thiazole, along with analogues with improved CYP inhibition profile. We have identified a novel mechanism of InhA inhibition characterized by a hitherto unreported "Y158-out" inhibitor-bound conformation of the protein that accommodates a neutrally charged "warhead". An additional novel hydrophilic interaction with protein residue M98 allows the incorporation of favorable physicochemical properties for cellular activity. Notably, the methyl-thiazole prefers the NADH-bound form of the enzyme with a Kd of ~13.7 nM, as against the NAD(+)-bound form of the enzyme.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the world's oldest and deadliest diseases, killing a person every 20 s. InhA, the enoyl-ACP reductase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is the target of the frontline antitubercular drug isoniazid (INH). Compounds that directly target InhA and do not require activation by mycobacterial catalase peroxidase KatG are promising candidates for treating infections caused by INH resistant strains. The application of the encoded library technology (ELT) to the discovery of direct InhA inhibitors yielded compound 7 endowed with good enzymatic potency but with low antitubercular potency. This work reports the hit identification, the selected strategy for potency optimization, the structure-activity relationships of a hundred analogues synthesized, and the results of the in vivo efficacy studies performed with the lead compound 65.

Isoniazid inhibits Mycobacterium tuberculosis InhA and is a key component of drug regimens that treat tuberculosis. However, the high rate of resistance against isoniazid is a contributing factor to the emergence of multi-drug resistance strains of M. tuberculosis. The 4-hydroxy-2-pyridine NITD-916 is a direct inhibitor of M. tuberculosis InhA that has comparable efficacy to isoniazid in mouse models of TB infection but a lower frequency of resistance. To characterize resistance mechanisms against NITD-916 we isolated resistant mutants in H37Rv (Euro-American lineage) and HN878 (East-Asian lineage) strains of M. tuberculosis. The resistance frequency was similar in both strains. Mutations were identified in residues within or near to the active of InhA or in the fabG1inhA promoter region. All mutants were resistant to NITD-916 but were not cross resistant to isoniazid, despite homology to SNPs identified in isoniazid resistant clinical isolates.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), the causative agent of tuberculosis, has been a global threat to human beings for several decades. Treating tuberculosis has become more difficult as the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis has increased globally. Evidence suggests that the comprehensive landscape of resistance mechanisms in MTB is ambiguous. More importantly, little is known regarding the series of events connected to resistance mechanisms in MTB before exposure to anti-TB drugs, during exposure to the drugs, and finally, when the MTB becomes resistant after exposure, upon analyses of its genome.We used the wild-type strain of MTB (H37Rv) in an in vitro model for generating induced resistance using a sub-inhibitory concentration of isoniazid, and the generated resistance-associated variants (RAVs) were identified using the whole genome sequencing method.The detection of an inhA promoter mutation (fabG1-15C>T), which results in increased production of InhA protein, was found to be a major mechanism for developing resistance to isoniazid in the first place. We observed adaptation of MTB resistance mechanisms in high isoniazid stress by alteration and abolishment of KatG due to the detection of katG S315N, the common region of mutation that confers isoniazid resistance, along with katG K414N, katG N138S, and katG A162E. Furthermore, we detected the ahpC-72C>T and ahpC 21C>A mutations, but further investigation is needed to determine their role in compensating for the loss of KatG activity.This suggests that increased InhA production is the main mechanism where there are low levels of isoniazid, whereas the alteration of KatG was found to be utilized in mycobacterium with a high concentration of isoniazid. Our work demonstrates that this in vitro approach of generating induced resistance could provide clinically relevant information after the fabG1-15C>T mutation, which is the common mutation found in clinical isolates. Moreover, other mutations detected in this work can also be found in clinical isolates. These findings may shed light on the impact of isoniazid in generating RAV and the resistance mechanism scenario that mycobacterium used under various isoniazid-pressuring conditions. More research is needed to understand better the role of RAV and mechanical resistance events within the mycobacterium genome in promoting a promising drug prediction platform that could lead to the right treatment for patients with MDR-TB and XDR-TB.

A total of 29 Thai multi-drug-resistant/isoniazid-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates were analyzed for mutations in katG from codons 254 to 549, inhA promoter and inhA open reading frame by DNA sequencing and single strand conformation polymorphism. Twenty-five multi-drug resistant isolates exhibited single point mutations (17 isolates at Ser315Thr plus Arg463Leu, 1 at Thr308Pro plus Arg463Leu, 7 at either Ser315Thr or Arg463Leu) while the other 4 isoniazid-resistant isolates had single point mutation only at Arg463Leu. Seven of 25 multi-drug-resistant isolates [4 at C(-15)T, 1 at T(-8)C; 1 at C(-15)T plus Ser94Ala and 1 at Ile21Val] and 2 of 4 isoniazid-resistant isolates [1 at C(-15)T, 1 at C (-15)T plus Ile21Thr] had mutations in inhA promoter and open reading frame, while the other 20 isolates had no mutation at any position. No frame shift mutation was observed in any tested isolates. This is the first report of two mutations, Trp308Pro of katG and T (-8)C of inhA in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates.
