- W4295358234 abstract "Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that has been declared by the World Health Organization as a priority 1 critical pathogen needing immediate new strategies for chemotherapy. During infection, P. aeruginosa uses redundant mechanisms to acquire ferric, heme (Hm), or ferrous iron from the host to survive and colonize. Significant efforts have been undertaken to develop siderophore blockers to inhibit ferric iron acquisition by P. aeruginosa, but there is a lack of inhibitors that can block Hm or ferrous iron acquisition by P. aeruginosa. We developed and employed a targeted high-throughput screen (HTS) and identified a molecule(s) that can specifically inhibit the Hm and ferrous iron acquisition systems of P. aeruginosa. Our targeted approach relies on screening a small-molecule library against P. aeruginosa under three growth conditions, where the only variable was the iron source (ferric, Hm, or ferrous iron). Each condition served as a counterscreen for the other, and we identified molecules that inhibit the growth of P. aeruginosa in the presence of only Hm or ferrous iron. Our data indicate that econazole, bithionate, and raloxifene inhibit the growth of P. aeruginosa in the presence of Hm and that oxyquinoline inhibits the growth of P. aeruginosa in the presence of ferrous iron. These iron-specific inhibitors do not interfere with the activity of meropenem, a commercial antipseudomonal, and can also increase meropenem activity. In conclusion, we present a proof of concept of a successful targeted conditional screening method by which we can identify specific iron acquisition inhibitors. This approach is highly adaptable and can easily be extended to any other pathogen. IMPORTANCE Since acquiring iron is paramount to P. aeruginosa's survival and colonization in the human host, developing novel strategies to block the access of P. aeruginosa to host iron will allow us to starve it of an essential nutrient. P. aeruginosa uses siderophore, heme, or ferrous iron uptake systems to acquire iron in the human host. We have developed a novel approach through which we can directly identify molecules that can prevent P. aeruginosa from utilizing heme or ferrous iron. This approach overcomes the need for the in silico design of molecules and identifies structurally diverse biologically active inhibitor molecules. This screening approach is adaptable and can be extended to any pathogen. Since Gram-negative pathogens share many similarities in iron acquisition at both the mechanistic and molecular levels, our screening approach presents a significant opportunity to develop novel broad-spectrum iron acquisition inhibitors of Gram-negative pathogens." @default.
