Introduction The global burden of tuberculosis (TB) remains enormous;killing 1.3 million people in 2012, with an estimated 170,000deaths from MDR-TB.12 Furthermore, effective treatment of TB inpersons co-infected with HIV is complicated because of drug-druginteractions, which reduce patients compliance and thus lead tohigh rates of recurrence, appearance of extensively drug resistant(XDR) strains and mortality. Shorter and simpler regimens thatare safe, well tolerated, and effective against drug-susceptibleand drug-resistant TB, which are appropriate for joint HIV-TBtreatment and amenable to routine clinical settings, are neededurgently.3-9 The drug discoverypipeline for TB has been quite fruitful in thelast 10 years, with Bedaquiline (TMC 207) a novel adenosinetriphosphate synthase inhibitor being recently been granted licen-sure by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under its acceler-ated approvalprocedure for treatment of MDR TB.1 Tencompounds have progressed through the clinical development * Corresponding author.

Currently, two fluoroquinolones (MXF and GAT) arein Phase III clinical development for the treatment of drug-suscep-tible TB, and two novel compounds (OPC-67683 and PA-824) are inPhase II clinical trials for the treatment of both drug-susceptibleand drug-resistant diseases. Despite this progress, the global drugpipeline for tuberculosis is still insufficient to address the unmetneeds of treatment. 2 Also it is critical that a good supply ofnew chemical entities is forthcoming in order to overcome the highrates of attrition encountered during the drug discovery process.Phenotypic screening of compound libraries to identify novelleads is rapidly gathering momentum in tubercular drug discovery,with many potential leads in the current TB pipeline being identi-fied from whole cell based high-throughput screening strategy.However lack of knowledge about the specific biochemicaltarget(s) that these phenotypic hits inhibit and/or upregulate ham-per their lead progression potential and further development.4Atarget based screening could possibly offer an effective solutionto the limitation of phenotypic screening. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), DNA gyrase is the soleType II topoisomerase that ensures the regulation of DNA topologyand has been genetically demonstrated to be a bactericidal drug target. The clinical success of fluoroquinolines have not only vali-dated the druggability of DNA gyrase as a potential anti-tuberculartarget but has also shown that inhibitors of this enzyme could alsobe active against non-replicating, persistent mycobacteria, andmight possibly reduce the duration of TB therapy. Howeverincreasing resistance to quinolone class of drugs calls for novelresearch in this field. Quinolones preferably targets gyrA subunit;the ATPase activity of bacterial DNA gyrase that resides in the gyrBsubunit remains pharmaceutically under-exploited even though itis an effective target of coumarins and related compounds.Inhibitor of gyrB subunit competitively inhibits the ATPase activityconferred by the DNA gyrB subunit and thereby abolishes theenergy-dependent reactions catalyzed by DNA gyrase. 5-20 In the present study, we explore a new class of DNA gyraseinhibitor derived from the medium throughput screening (MTS)of BITS-Pilani in house chemical library using the relatively under-exploited gyrase ATPase domain as the template. The hit obtainedwas further customized using medicinal chemistry strategies toobtain a lead molecule displaying considerable in vitro enzymeefficacy and anti-mycobacterial potency against MTB H37Rv strain. 2. Results and discussion The working outline utilized for identifying the inhibitors hasbeen depicted in Figure 1. In the preliminary stage of the study,BITS-Pilani in house database consisting of little more than 3000diverse compounds were first subjected to a series of in silico filter-ingfor compound redundancy, removing known anti-tubercularentities and finally for their physicochemical property clusteringusing the Lipinski rule of Five as the scoring filter. The basic goalof this strategy was to decrease the enormous virtual chemicalspace of small organic molecules to a manageable number of com-pounds that could inhibit the protein with the highest chance tolead to a drug candidate. 102 compounds that came out of thisexercise and those which were lead-like were tested for their inhi-bition of Mycobacterium smegmatis (MS) gyrB ATPase at single doseconcentration of 500 pM concentration in triplicates using a mala-chite green based assay adapted to 96 v-shaped well plate formatas described previously. The use of Mycobacterium smegmatis(MS) gyrB protein as a surrogate for gyrB protein from Mycobacte-rium tuberculosis (MTB) has been well demonstrated in litera-ture,17.22 as the activity of gyrBprotein from MTB was found bevery low when compared to that of MS." The MS gyrB was clonedinto pQE2 vector and was expressed in BL21 (DE3) pLysS cells, theexpressed protein was induced with a final concentration of0.2 mM IPTG (isopropyl--D thiogalactopyranoside) and was puri-fied using Ni-NTA column and were identified by SDS-PAGE.Novobiocin which has been previously demonstrated to be apotent inhibitor of DNA gyrB was used as a positive control inthe study.16 Compounds were also tested in the presence of Brij-35, a non-anionic detergent to ascertain whether these inhibitionswere an artifact due to sequestration of the enzyme by drug aggre-gates. The other artifacts like auto absorbance of the drug were alsoruled out by nullifying its absorbance during the reaction. The relative enzyme activity at 500 uM compound concentra-tion was used as a filter to score the compounds and select thestrongest inhibitors for further studies. Compounds inhibiting gyrBactivity ≥50% were retested at 100 uM concentration and the posi-tive hits from this study were further screened at 50 uM concen-tration. Twenty three compounds showed gyrB inhibition of≥50%, at 50 uM and these where further retested for gyrB inhibi-tory potency at 25 uM. Out of the seventeen compounds thatexhibited gyrB inhibition of 50% at 25 uM, twelve compounds werecherry picked and evaluated for their gyrB potency in a doseresponse in more detail. The binding affinity of the identified leads towards the gyrBprotein, was re-ascertained by differential scanning fluorimetryexperiments by measuring the fluorescence of the native proteinand protein-ligand complexes in presence of a fluorescent dyewhose fluorescence increases when exposed to non-polar residuesof the protein and reach the maximum when the protein dena-ture.23.25 A higher or positive shift of melting temperature (TM) ofprotein-ligand complex compared to the native protein TM signifya better stabilization of the protein-ligand complex, which in turnwould reflect on the inhibitor binding. The most potent analoguefrom the MTS screen displayed a TM shift of 2.6C confirming theiraffinity towards the gyrB protein. Further, the active hits were subjected to the DNA super coilinginhibitory assay23.24 using DNA gyrase protein from MTB (Inspiral-is, Norwich), to reconfirm their inhibitory potential; as any inhibi-tion of ATPase activity conferred by the DNA gyrB subunit shouldalso inhibit the supercoiling activity performed by both gyrA andgyrB domains.Novobiocin was used as a positive control in thestudy. As expected, the inhibitors showed goodcorrelationbetween the ATPase inhibitory activity and gyrase supercoilinginhibitory potency. The twelve potent hits retrieved from this study were thensubjected to a number of tertiary screens to assess their in vitroanti-tubercular potency and cell cytotoxicity. A major hurdle intarget based drug discovery is the lack oftranslation of the potencyand selectivity observed at the enzyme level into mycobacterialcidality. The compounds were first subjected to wholecell screen-ing against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain using alamarblue assay.26 with compound concentrations ranging from 50 ug/mL to 1.56 ug/mL in triplicates. The minimum inhibitory concen-tration (MIC99), defined as the minimum concentration of com-pound required tocompletely inhibit bacterial growth, wasdetermined for each compound. Isoniazid, rifampicin and ofloxacinwere used as reference compounds for comparison (Table 1). Since the predominant host cells for MTB are the lungmacrophages. These molecules were further interrogated for theirin vitro cytotoxicity against RAW 264.7 cell line (mouse macro-phage) at 100 uM concentration by the (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay." The hitsobtained were later clustered based on scaffold similarity. Among the small number of molecules identified,the subset ofnitrothaizolyl derivatives (represented inFFig.. 1, [HTS hits,compound 7, 8, and 12 in Table 1]) emerged as the lead seriesexhibiting promising in vitro potency and good correlation in thegyrB, supercoiling and MIC experiments. Compound 12 the mostpromising analogue from the assay, exhibited a gyrB inhibitoryIC50 of 8.07 uM. To provide a structural basis for further inhibitorimprovement, compound 12 was subjected to molecular dockingcalculations using the crystal structure of gyrB ATPase domain ofMycobacterium smegmatis retrieved from Protein Data Bank (PDBID-4B6C)22 as template; utilizing a protocol detailed in the exper-imental section. The compound exhibited good interaction profilein docking studies retaining critical polar and non polar interactioncomparable to that of (3,4-dichloro-5-methyl-N-[4-(5-nitro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)cyclohexyl]-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide, a potent gyrBinhibitor [gyrB IC50=0.49 uM], identified from our earlier studywith an RMSD of less than 0.5 A as shown in Figure 2 suggestingthe suitability of the identified hit for further structure activityexplorations. The overall chemical structure topology of the identified MTShit incorporated a nitrothiazole left hand core that runs throughan aminopiperidine linker to the corresponding right handed ureaand thiourea phenyl units. Since a thiazole left hand core and theaminopiperidine linker wereaacommon1structural featureobserved in many of the previously reported gyrase inhibitors, itwas decided to retain these units in our initial structure activity profiling studies and introduce structural diversity by attemptingvarious explorations at the right hand core as shown in Table 1-4. Thus a library of 36 molecules with various urea, thiourea,amide, amino and sulphonamide substituent's as the right handcore were attempted in hit expansion step to have a clear under-standing of the role of these groups in activity determination. A retro synthetic evaluation of the identified MTS hits (7,8, and12) enabled us to design the reaction sequence depicted inScheme 1 for achieving the desired scaffold 1-(5-nitrothiazol-2-yl)piperidin-4-amine (3) for further optimizations in the ligandexpansion step. The synthesis of the target molecule was achievedin asimple and straight forwardmanner startingfromcommercially available 2-bromo-5-nitro thiazole. The constructionof target molecule began by condensing 2-bromo-5-nitro thiazolewith commercially available 4-N-Boc-aminopiperidine via a SnAr displacement to give nitrogen-linked analogue (3) in good yield.Subsequent Boc deprotection followed by coupling of the soobtained primary amine with various isocyanate afforded the cor-responding urea (4-10 and 18-21) derivatives in good yields asdepicted in Table 1. In a similar fashion, the thiourea (11-17 and22-25) and the sulphonamide derivatives (36-40) were assembledfrom the 1-(5-nitrothiazol-2-yl)piperidin-4-amine scaffold (3) byreacting with their corresponding isothiocyanate and sulphonylchloride, respectively. The amide derivatives (31-35) were devel-oped by coupling the scaffold derivative (3) with the respectiveacid using propyl phosphonic anhydride as the coupling agent.Finally reductive amination of 1-(5-nitrothiazol-2-yl)piperidin-4-amine with desired aldehydes gave the designed amino derivatives(26-29). The Chan-Lam methodology29-31was successful inachieving the N-phenyl analogue (30).

Superimposed orientation of the docked conformations of compound 12(green) and most potent gyrB inhibitor from our earlier study compound 28 [gyrBIC50=0.49 uM] (blue). With respect to the structure-activity explorations; in the firststage of lead expansion step, various substituted phenyl urea (4-10) and thiourea derivatives (11-17); analogues to the lead mole-cules were attempted and evaluated for the biological potency asshown in Table 1.The entire set of molecules tested showed goodto potent gyrase inhibitory potential and as is evident from theTable 1, the urea analogues (4-10) were the preferred right handpartners than their thiourea counterparts (11-17). With respectto the various substituents attempted on the phenyl ring; onlysmaller substituent were accommodated; as the unsubstituted, flu-oro, methoxy and chloro substituted derivatives showed morepotent inhibition of the gyrB protein than the derivatives withbulkier substituents like acetyl and nitro groups. Encouraged bythese results, it was further decided to attempt various benzylicurea and thiourea derivatives as the right hand partner in the nextstage of study. Only the more potent right hand substitutions fromthe earlier study viz.; the unsubstituted, fluoro, methoxy andchloro substituted rings were attempted in this stage. This modifi-cation was found to be suitable as it led to identification of manypotent inhibitors of gyrase protein with good in vitro antitubercu-lar potency. The docking studies of these compounds revealed some of theimportant differences among their binding patterns at the gyrBactive site. A deeper look into the interaction profile diagram ofthe active molecules showed the phenyl/benzyl ring to be deeplyoriented into the hydrophobic region where it was found to be sta-bilized by the hydrophobic interaction with residues Val49, le84,Val99, Val123 and Val128, previously reported to be critical inretaining the activity;22.24 the left hand nitrothiazole core was Table 2In vitro biological evaluation of compounds 26-30 O2N S 02N S -R -N -N 26-29 30 R Compd R gyrB assay (IC5o) Supercoiling assay (ICso) MIC99(uM) Cytotoxicity (%inhib:) 26 H 9.25 11.31 39.26 48 27 F 0.1496 0.52 9.3 39.9 28 CI 19.9 20.12 35.42 47.9 29 OCH: 17.42 16.4 17.93 47.9 30 H 7.33 8.4 41.06 45 MS gyrB ATPase activity.

The inactive molecules oriented in a completely differentdirection thereby taking it away from the active site thus losingcritical non-polar interaction with the amino acid residues presentin the vicinity of the protein essential for retaining the activity. Theimproved activity of the urea analogues compared to the thioureaanalogues was found to be due to the better electrostatic interac-tion that the urea derivatives (oxygen being more electronegative[EN-3.44]) retained with the amino acids residues in the active sitevicinity like Arg82 than their thiourea counterparts, the sulfur group in thiourea analogues being less electronegative [EN-2.58]lacked these interactions, thus resulting in their reduced activity. Later, various N-benzyl/phenyl amino (26-30), carboxamide(31-35) and sulphonamide derivatives (36-40) were also exploredas the right hand partner to have a clear profiling of the structureactivity relationship. All these modification resulted in very potentmolecules as shown in Tables 2-4. The N-benzyl amino (26-30)and carboxamide analogues (31-35) were more preferred as theright hand partner than their corresponding sulphonamideanalogues (36-40), with two molecules (27 and 31) one from each Scheme 1.

Stronghydrophobic interactionswere observedbetween the p-fluoro benzyl group and residues like Val49,Ile84,Val99, Val 129 and Ile171.

A structural insight into the interaction profile of the mostpotent inhibitor from the studycompound 27 (Figs.3 and 4), Docking analysis revealed that the presence of hydrophobicmoiety on the right hand side of compounds play a crucial rolein retaining gyrB inhibitory activity. The introduction of the N-ben-zyl amino (26-30) and the carboxamide substituent's (31-35) asthe right hand core rightly orientated the molecule deeply intothe hydrophobic pocket of the active site wherein it was found tobe stabilized by the critical interactions with Val49, Ile84,Val99,Val129 and Ile171 residues whereas the introduction of the sulph-onamide substituent's (36-40) as the right hand core completelydisoriented the molecule taking it away from the active siteorienting it towards the solvent region and thus loosing the criticalinteraction necessary for retaining the activity.

Protein cloning,expression and purification Cloning of M. smegmatis gyraseB gene was done separately byamplifying the gyrB gene from mc²155 genomic DNA using thespecific forward and reverse primers using specific restrictionenzymes5'CACCCATATGGTGGCTGCCCAGAAGAACAA 3' (Ndel),and5AGCTAAGCTTTTAAACATCCAGGAAGCGAA 3'(Hind III),respectively. The final PCR amplicons obtained were cloned inexpression vector pQE2 (Qiagen) with a 6-His tag and was thentransformed into host BL21 (DE3) pLysS cells, specifically becauseof the compatibility of the host system for gyrB protein expressionand structurally similar protein folding. The vector transformedcells were later grown at 37℃ in LB broth containing 100 ug/mLampicillin upto an optical density (OD) of 0.4 to 0.6 at (A595). Fur-ther for the increased production of protein the bacterial cells,were induced with isopropyl-B-p-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) ata final concentration of 0.1 mM while the cells were in exponentialgrowth phase, and the cell growth was continued for another 12 hat 18C, as low temperature promotes the slow release of thedesired protein. The bacterial cells were then centrifuged at7000 rpm, 4℃ for 15 min. The cell pellets were re-suspended inPBSG buffer (PBS containing 5% glycerol), further lysed using soni-cator (20 s pulse and 45 s halt) and centrifuged the crude lysate at8000 rpm, 4℃ for 10 min, subsequently centrifugation wasrepeated for the supernatant of previous step at 10,000 rpm at4°℃ for 35 min for a clearer supernatant. The cell extract was laterapplied to pre-equilibrated Ni-NTA column (GE), and the columnwas washed with wash buffer (5% glycerol in PBS and 500 mMNaCl) and the protein was eluted using different concentration ofimidazole ranging from 10 mM to 200 mM in the elution buffer(5% Glycerol, 140 mM NaCl in 25 mM Tris-Cl (pH 8.0)). Fractionscontaining the desired gyrB enzyme was confirmed by runningan SDS-PAGE(sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electro-phoresis), subsequently pooled the 100 mM and 200 mM fractionsand dialyzed against the dialyses buffer (15% Glycerol, 140 mMNaCl in 25 mM Tris-HCl (pH7.4)), aliquoted and stored at -80 ℃. 4.3.2. MS gyrB ATPase assay The ATPase assay was performed similar to the previously pub-lished method using Mycobacterium smegmatis gyraseB domain,it was performed in 30 uL reaction volume consisting of assay buf-fer (60 mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.7, 250 mM potassium glutamate,200 mM KCl,2 mM magnesium chloride, 1 mM DTT, 2% Glycerol,4% DMSO, 0.001% BriJ) incubated with 90 nM gyrB, 0.65 mM ATPand inhibitors for 120 min at 25C. The reaction was initiated bythe addition of 16 uL of MgCl2 solution, as metal ion triggers theenzymatic function. Later the reaction was quenched by theaddition of 20 uL of malachite green (Bioassay systems, USA) andincubated for 20 min, absorbance was measured at 635 nm wave-length against the blank. Throughout the assay novobiocin wasconsidered as positive control. Dose-response curve was plottedfor the potent leads using GraphPad Prism software (GraphPadSoftware Inc., La Jolla, CA) by taking log (inhibitor concentration)on the X-axis and response (%inhibition) on the Y-axis. 4.3.3. MTB DNA Super coiling assay The binding affinities of the most potent ligands were evaluatedby measuring fluorescence of the native protein and the protein-ligand complexes in the presence of a fluorescent dye whosefluorescence increases when exposed to non-polar residues of theprotein and reaches a maximum when the protein denatures. Inbrief, the native protein (7.5 pL(1.5 mg/mL)of protein +3.5 pL ofbuffer [50 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 1 mM ethylene diamine tetra-aceticacid (EDTA), 5 mM DTT]) was subjected to stepwise heating in agradient PCR instrument (Bio-Rad) from 25℃ to 100℃ with anincrement of 0.6℃/min in the presence of the fluorescent dyeSYPRO Orange [2.5 pL (1:100); Sigma]. As the temperatureincreases, the stability of the protein decreases and becomes zeroat equilibrium, where the concentrations of folded and unfoldedprotein become stable. This temperature was noted as the meltingtemperature (Tm). The dye exhibited maximum fluorescence at thispoint as it was exposed to the hydrophobic portion of the proteinas a result of protein denaturing. A higher or positive shift in Tmof the protein-ligand complex compared with the native proteinsignifies better stabilisation of the protein-ligand complex, whichin turn is a reflection of inhibitor binding. 4.3.5. In vitro Mycobacterium tuberculosis microplatealamarBlue@ assay (MABA) Briefly, the inoculum was prepared from fresh LJ medium re-suspended in 7H9-S medium (7H9 broth, 0.1% casitone, 0.5% glyc-erol, supplemented oleic acid, albumin, dextrose, and catalase[OADC]), adjusted to a McFarland tube No. 1, and diluted 1:20;100 uL was used as inoculum. Each drug stock solution wasthawed and diluted in 7H9-S at four-fold the final highest concen-tration tested. Serial two-fold dilutions of each drug were prepareddirectly in a sterile 96-well microtiter plate using 100 uL 7H9-S. Agrowth control containing no antibiotic and a sterile control werealso prepared on each plate. Sterile water was added to all perim-eter wells to avoid evaporation during the incubation. The platewas covered, sealed in plastic bags and incubated at 37℃ in nor-mal atmosphere. After 7 days incubation, 30 pL of alamar bluesolution was added to each well, and the plate was re-incubatedovernight. A change in colour from blue (oxidised state) to pink(reduced) indicated the growth of bacteria, and the MIC wasdefined as the lowest concentration of drug that prevented thischange in colour. 4.3.6. Screening for hERG channel inhibition The potent compounds were further examined for hERG chan-nel inhibition by assessing their arrhythmogenic potential on thezERG gene, which is orthologous to the hERG gene. Zebrafish(Danio rerio) were acquired commercially and were maintainedaspreviously described by Banote et al. All experiments wereperformed as per the guidelines published by the US National Insti-tutes of Health for care and use of zebrafish. In brief, zebrafish weremaintained in the re-circulatory system with 14 h light and 10 hdark cycles, with 28°C as optimum temperature.34 Breeding wascarried out using 2 females: 3 males in a separate breeding cage.Embryos were collected into petridishes containing E3 mediumat incubated at 28°C temperature. Three day post fertilized embryos are used for screening of testdrugs and the embryos were segregated and washed and distrib-uted in 24 well plate probably six embryos with 250 uL of 0.1%DMSO per well. Stock solution of the drug was prepared in 100%DMSO and the 2X working concentrations were prepared accord-ingly by serial dilutions. Each well was then added with 250 uLof 2X working concentration and embryos were allowed toincubate at the optimum temperature for 4 h. The respective drugconcentration exposed embryos were treated with tricaine and theheart rate were measured, the time taken for 30 atrial and ventric-ular beats were measured for each embryo, from which number ofheart beats per minute was calculated by using the for-mula=1800/X=beats/minute (where X=time in seconds). Allthe statistical analysis was done using GraphPad Prism softwareapplying ONEWAY-ANOVA and Dunnett's post-test. 4.3.7. In vitro cytotoxicity screening All the test compounds were further examined for toxicity in aRAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cell line at a concentration of50 uM. The assay was performed in RPMI media with 5% FBS and1% antibiotic. After 72 h of drug exposure, viability of the cellswas assessed on the basis of cellular conversion of MTT into a for-mazan product using the Promega Cell Titer 96 non-radioactivecell proliferation assay."
