Description: Bederocin, also known as REP-8839, is a novel methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetS) inhibitor with potent antibacterial activity against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and other clinically important gram-positive bacteria but little activity against gram-negative bacteria. REP8839 was highly bound to the protein of human serum, and activity was not greatly influenced by inoculum size but was affected by pH, exhibiting optimal antibacterial activity in a neutral medium rather than a weak acidic medium.

More Info: The biochemical activity of REP8839 was shown by specific inhibition of purified S. aureus MetS (50% inhibitory concentration, <1.9 nM). Target specificity was confirmed by overexpression of the metS gene in S. aureus, resulting in an eightfold increase in the MIC for REP8839. Macromolecular synthesis assays in the presence of REP8839 demonstrated a dose-dependent inhibition of protein synthesis and RNA synthesis in S. pneumoniae R6, but only protein synthesis was affected in an isogenic rel mutant deficient in the stringent response. Strains with reduced susceptibility to REP8839 were generated by selection of strains with spontaneous mutations and through serial passages. Point mutations within the metS gene were mapped, leading to a total of 23 different amino acid substitutions within MetS that were located around the modeled active site. The most frequent MetS mutations were I57N, leading to a shift in the MIC from 0.06 microg/ml to 4 microg/ml, and G54S, resulting in a MIC of 32 microg/ml that was associated with a reduced growth rate. The mutation prevention concentration was 32 microg/ml in four S. aureus strains (methicillin-sensitive S. aureus and MRSA), which is well below the drug concentration of 2% (20,000 microg/ml) in a topical formulation. In conclusion, we demonstrate by biochemical, physiologic, and genetic mode-of-action studies that REP8839 exerts its antibacterial activity through specific inhibition of MetS, a novel target.
