- embodiments of the invention are directed to FabK inhibitors and their use in the treatment of infections caused by microbes such as C. difficile, F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis.
- BACKGROUND Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a leading cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea that is often associated with the use of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents.
- C. difficile caused approximately 223,900 cases in hospitalized patients and 12,800 deaths in 2017 in the United States.
- metronidazole and vancomycin Prior to the approval of fidaxomicin in 2011, metronidazole and vancomycin were the two main antibiotic treatments for CDI.
- metronidazole is not recommended as a first-line CDI medication in the 2021 IDSA/SHEA and ESCMID CDI guidelines, with fidaxomicin recommended as the first-line treatment and vancomycin as its alternate.
- Fidaxomicin is a narrow-spectrum anti-C. difficile agent with limited activity against other gut bacteria compared to vancomycin, which has a broader spectrum of activity.
- resistance to fidaxomicin has emerged and alternative CDI antimicrobials are needed for recurrent CDI to complement current non-antimicrobial treatments for recurrent CDI, i.e., fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and adjunctive treatment with bezlotoxumab, a monoclonal antibody.
- FMT fecal microbiota transplantation
- FAS-II The bacterial type II fatty acid synthesis pathway (FAS-II) comprises a series of individual enzymatic steps to synthesize critical lipids required for bacterial membranes. Lipophilic substrates of the FAS-II enzymes are shuttled between the enzyme steps by an acyl-linked carrier protein (ACP). Several FAS-II steps are conducted by species-specific isozymes that may be exploited as narrow-spectrum antibacterial targets.
- the rate-limiting enoyl-ACP reductase step responsible for the reduction of a double bond, has four known major isozymes – FabI, FabL, FabV, and FabK.
- the FabK isozyme is structurally and mechanistically distinct from the other enoyl-ACP reductase isozymes and presents an opportunity for the design of agents targeting organisms that solely express this enzyme.
- C. difficile is one such organism.

- F. nucleatum is implicated in multiple diseases including periodontal disease, pre-term births, inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal (CRC) and breast cancers. In periodontal disease, F. nucleatum assists periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis by promoting their integration into the oral microbiota community. In the context of CRC, genomic analysis of patient biopsies has shown a frequent association of F. nucleatum with tumor tissues, as opposed to normal tissues. F.
- nucleatum expresses virulence factors that contribute to the development of a pro- tumorigenic environment, which includes suppression of the immune system, promotion of chemoresistance, and induction of inflammation. Similar to C. difficile, F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis depend on the FAS-II pathway to synthesize ⁇ -Hydroxyacyl-ACPs, which are essential precursors for the lipid component of lipopolysaccharide outer membranes. Therefore, targeting FabK, which is a required enzyme in the FAS-II pathway, provides an avenue for the development of narrow-spectrum antimicrobials, while minimizing collateral damage of the normal microbiota in the human body.
- the pathogens discussed above are either associated with, or present risk factors for, a range of diseases, ranging from diseases of the oral cavity (gum diseases- for example, periodontal disease and gingivitis-; cariogenic diseases- for example, dental caries; halitosis); 2 Attorney Docket 13260-P301WO gastrointestinal and systemic diseases (for example, colorectal cancer, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, cerebral aneurysm, inflammatory bowel disease, appendicitis, Lemierre’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and pre-term births, and Alzheimer's).

Patent Application No. 63/490,897 filed March 17, 2023, the entire specification of which is fully incorporated by reference. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH This invention was made with government support under federal grant number W81XWH-20-1-0296 awarded by the Department of Defense and federal grant number R21AI126755 awarded by the National Institutes of Health. The government has certain rights in the invention. TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates generally to FabK (Fatty Acid Synthesis Protein Enoyl-ACP Reductase II) inhibitor compositions having antimicrobial activity. Specifically, embodiments of the invention are directed to FabK inhibitors and their use in the treatment of infections caused by microbes such as C. difficile, F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis. BACKGROUND Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a leading cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea that is often associated with the use of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. According to the CDC, C. difficile caused approximately 223,900 cases in hospitalized patients and 12,800 deaths in 2017 in the United States. Prior to the approval of fidaxomicin in 2011, metronidazole and vancomycin were the two main antibiotic treatments for CDI. However, metronidazole is not recommended as a first-line CDI medication in the 2021 IDSA/SHEA and ESCMID CDI guidelines, with fidaxomicin recommended as the first-line treatment and vancomycin as its alternate.

However, resistance to fidaxomicin has emerged and alternative CDI antimicrobials are needed for recurrent CDI to complement current non-antimicrobial treatments for recurrent CDI, i.e., fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and adjunctive treatment with bezlotoxumab, a monoclonal antibody. Therefore, inhibitors of enoyl-acyl 1

F. nucleatum is implicated in multiple diseases including periodontal disease, pre-term births, inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal (CRC) and breast cancers. In periodontal disease, F. nucleatum assists periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis by promoting their integration into the oral microbiota community. In the context of CRC, genomic analysis of patient biopsies has shown a frequent association of F. nucleatum with tumor tissues, as opposed to normal tissues.

Certain embodiments are directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of inhibitor compounds. The inhibitor compounds of the claimed invention were tested at a concentration of 10 μM to determine percentage inhibition of the CdFabK activity. This information was used to identify potent compounds for IC50 determinations (>50% inhibition) and MIC testing against C. difficile R20291. Pyridine Head Group Modifications (5a-i) Table 1 shows the biochemical and microbiological activity of the compounds synthesized with pyridine head group modifications, along with other relevant activity data. To determine the importance of the 2-pyridine moiety for inhibitory activity, the pyrimidine counterpart 5b was synthesized and tested. Compound 5b showed comparable activity to 5a, with an IC50 of 1.02 μM (vs.1.23 μM) and an MIC of 1.56-3.12 μg/mL (vs.1.56 μg/mL). Interestingly, the IC50 of compound 5d, with a p-bromophenyl group substituted for the 8
Attorney Docket 13260-P301WO pyridine group, was 2-fold greater than that of 5a (0.53 vs 1.23 μM). Notably, 5b displayed partial inhibition to ~65 percent, which influenced the calculated IC50. Several of the compounds in this series showed a pattern of partial inhibition due to low aqueous solubility when tested at higher concentrations. Compounds bearing electron-withdrawing groups (EWG) at the 5-position of the pyridine ring were also tested. Compounds 5e and 5f showed similar inhibition patterns as 5d with IC50’s of 0.85 μM and 0.77 μM, respectively. These compounds also showed partial inhibition, although not at the same extent as 5d. With respect to their anti-C. difficile activity, compounds 5e and 5f were one-fold less active with MIC’s of 3.12 μg/mL. Notably, 5g with a 3-CF3 substitution showed significantly improved FabK inhibition (IC50 0.24 μM) and anti-C. difficile activity equipotent to 5a with MIC of 1.56 μg/mL. Larger bicyclic substitutions of the pyridine group, quinoline 5h and benzothiazole 5i, were largely inactive against C. difficile (MIC’s >50 μg/mL), although they possessed sub-micromolar IC50’s of 0.75 μM and 0.42 μM, respectively. It is unclear how the bulkier ring substitutions diminished antibacterial activity but decreased cellular uptake and/or efflux pump are potential reasons. All compounds tested in this series, except 5g and 5i, showed good curve fit statistics (R2 = 0.95 – 0.97) and Hill slope values near unity, indicating ideal stoichiometric inhibitor behavior (one inhibitor to one active site). The Hill slopes significantly less than unity of 5g and 5i indicate non-ideal behavior and may be indicative of solubility or compound aggregation issues.

Cerulenin 3.12 Benzothiazole Derivatives (6a–l) and Central Planar Group Modifications (7a–b) Compounds that replaced the 2-pyridine thioether head group with a benzothiazole ring system were tested. This substitution affected both the head group and central planar regions. Table 2 shows the biochemical and microbiological activity of the compounds in this series. Except for 6k, the curve fit statistics and Hill slopes calculated were within the acceptable range for a competitive enzyme inhibitor. Compound 6a, with an unsubstituted benzothiazole system, had a calculated IC50 of 1.88 μM, but was inactive against C. difficile in MIC testing. Improvements in activity were seen by the addition of electron withdrawing functional groups, including halogen substitutions, CF3, and methyl sulfone. Compound 6d, bearing a 6-CF3 substitution showed excellent CdFabK inhibition (IC50 = 0.10 μM), but an MIC of 6.25 μg/mL. Slight partial inhibition was observed for this compound. Compound 6f, bearing a stronger EWG methyl sulfone, showed slightly less enzyme inhibition (IC50 = 0.45 μM), however it was inactive against C. difficile (MIC > 100 μg/mL) presumably due to decreased cellular penetration. Compounds 6g, 6h, and 6i (6-Br, 6-Cl, and 6-F, respectively) showed CdFabK inhibition with IC50’s ranging from 0.11 to 0.34 μM. Interestingly, 6h showed the most potent anti-C. difficile activity with an MIC of 6.25 μg/mL. In contrast, compound 6j, possessing a 4,6-difluoro substitution, showed significantly less enzyme inhibition (IC50 = 4.53 μM) and anti-C. difficile activity (MIC = 12.5 μg/mL). To further explore the SAR of this series, the effect of electron donating groups on biochemical and microbiological activity was investigated. Compound 6k, bearing a 6-ethoxy group, showed promising CdFabK inhibition (IC50 = 0.17 μM) with anti- C. difficile activity of MIC = 12.5 μg/mL. The low Hill slope of this compound suggests a non-ideal inhibitory behavior, possibly due to poor solubility or aggregation. Compound 6l, 10
Attorney Docket 13260-P301WO bearing a trifluoromethoxy group, showed excellent activity in the nanomolar range (IC50 = 0.09 μM) with moderate anti-C. difficile activity (MIC 12.5-25 μg/mL). Modifications of the urea moiety in the central planar region of 5a were explored by substitution of the urea with a thiourea, giving 7a. Compound 7a showed CdFabK inhibitory activity that was comparable to 5a (IC50 = 1.77 μM), but significantly improved anti-C. difficile activity with an MIC of 0.39 μg/mL, which is comparable to vancomycin. However, the thiourea functionality is a well-known toxicophore, necessitating caution in future investigations of this scaffold. In contrast, removal of the central planar system in compound 7b abolished enzymatic and cellular inhibition (IC50 > 100 μM, MIC > 50 μg/mL), confirming that a planar group is essential.

Phenylimidazole Tail Group Modifications (8a–c) In the modification of the phenylimidazole tail group, compounds 8a–c were synthesized to explore tail group substitutions of phenyl-triazole (8a), benzimidazole (8b), and quinazolinone (8c) as shown in Table 3. These compounds were designed to retain the recognized hydrogen bond donor and acceptor groups of the phenylimidazole discussed above, while exploring differing bicyclic ring systems and steric bulk. As shown in Table 3, overall these compounds showed low inhibitory activity against CdFabK (IC50 > 10 μM) and no anti-C. difficile activity with MICs of > 50 μg/mL. This suggests that the tail region of this inhibitor series is significantly less tolerant to substitution compared to the head and central regions. Table 3 CdFabK Inhibition and Antibacterial Activity of 8a–c with Various Tail Groups
Compound Solubility 12
Attorney Docket 13260-P301WO To investigate the experimental solubility, select compounds from the 5a-i and 6a-l series were tested using a turbidimetric assay previously reported and results are shown in Table 4. The most soluble compound, 6j, with an estimated precipitation point of 125 μM, showed low inhibition activity against CdFabK (IC50 = 4.53 μM) and pyrimidine analog 5b had a precipitation point of 83.9 μM. The nature of the endogenous FabK substrate (fatty acids) and the observed lipophilic regions of the CdFabK active site suggest that lipophilic interactions are a key driver for binding affinity. The biochemical activity and solubility assay data shown here imply that a careful balance of lipophilic and hydrophilic character is required for a compound to possess potent CdFabK inhibition. For example, the most potent analogs evaluated here, compounds 5g, 6d, 6f, and 6i, have estimated precipitation points in the range of 44.5 μM to 65.3 μM. This suggests that the optimal solubility, that correlates to optimal activity, can be predicted by a compound precipitation point of approximately 55 μM. Compound 6h was an unusual outlier in these studies as it showed a decrease in absorbance above the precipitation point of 76.9 μM, indicating the compound’s solubility was improving at higher concentrations. It is noted that the low Hill slope of 6h may imply aggregation or micelle formation is occurring with this compound.

The following experiments are intended to further elaborate and expand on the detailed description and are in no way intended to limit the scope of the invention, nor should they be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. General Methods Solvents and Reagents Commercial reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich or Fisher Scientific and used without additional purification. Dichloromethane (DCM), dimethylformamide (DMF), and tetrahydrofuran (THF) were purchased in a Sure/Seal bottle (≥ 99.8%, anhydrous) and additionally sparged with N2 prior to use. Reaction Setup, Monitoring, and Product Purification Reactions were carried out in oven-dried glassware under a positive pressure of N2 in anhydrous solvents using standard Schlenk techniques. Reactions run at room temperature (22−23 °C) and heating temperature (80−100 °C) controlled by an IKA temperature modulator. Reaction progress was monitored using an analytical high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) employing a Shimadzu LC-20A series HPLC system. Compounds were purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel using a Biotage Isolera One system on prefilled, Biotage SNAP Ultra columns and Biotage SNAP NH columns using ACS grade solvents. Organic solutions were concentrated under reduced pressure on a Heidolph temperature-controlled rotary evaporator equipped with a Brinkmann Lauda WK 1200 Circulation Chiller. 14
Attorney Docket 13260-P301WO Biological Assays Enzyme expression & purification The CdFabK enzyme was expressed following known protocols. After harvesting the cells, they were suspended in a lysis buffer consisting of Buffer A (50 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 300 mM NH4Cl, 18% glycerol, 100 µM FMN, 10 mM imidazole, and 1 mM DTT), 0.5 mg/mL lysozyme, 0.5% Triton-X 100, 25 mM sucrose, 10 µg/mL DNase, and protease inhibitor. Cells were then lysed in a pulse sonifier with 8 seconds of ultrasonic pulse and 24 seconds of interval with a total pulse time of 8 min, and then the lysates were centrifuged at 18000 RPM for 15 minutes using a JA-20 rotor in a Beckman Coulter Centrifuge. The supernatant was passed through 0.22 µM filters. Protein purification was done by affinity chromatography in a His-Trap HP column (Cytiva Life Sciences) and eluted with an elution buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 300 mM NH4Cl, 18% glycerol, 100 µM FMN, 500 mM imidazole and 1 mM DTT). The protein was further purified by gel filtration on a SuperDex 200 PG column (GE Healthcare) with a buffer containing, 50 mM Hepes pH 8.0, 300 mM NH4Cl, 18% glycerol, 100 µM FMN, and 3 mM DTT. After purification, the protein was concentrated using a centrifugal filter (Amicon Ultra -15). General assay method The CdFabK enzyme assays were conducted at 25 ℃ using assay buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 500 mM NH4Cl, 10% glycerol) in 384-well microplates at a final volume of 100 µL (30 µL of buffer, 10 µL inhibitor, 5 µL of crotonyl-CoA substrate, 5 µL of protein, and 50 µL NADH). The final concentrations of enzyme, NADH cofactor, and crotonyl-CoA substrate were 15 nM, 125 µM, and 325 µM, respectively. Test compounds were serially diluted using DMSO prior to assay. The initial concentration of the test compounds and the dilution factor were determined by initial single concentration assays at 10 µM and 100 µM to give an appropriate concentration range with data points above and below the inflection for best curve fits. A working dilution of the protein was prepared using the assay buffer with 2.5 mg/ml γ-globulins (used for a crowding effect to stabilize the CdFabK dimer at low concentrations). The compound and enzyme were incubated for 10 minutes, after which crotonyl-CoA substrate was added. The reaction is started by the addition of the NADH cofactor and continuously monitored for NADH conversion to NAD+ by fluorescence intensity (ex 340, em 460) in a Biotek Synergy H1 microplate reader for 10 min total 15
Attorney Docket 13260-P301WO duration with reads every 20 seconds. For each test compound, eleven concentrations were tested, in duplicate, along with a DMSO control. IC50 determination Slopes obtained from the steady-state period of the continuous assays (linear range) were calculated and used with control data to determine percent inhibition at each concentration. Percent inhibitions (duplicate) and compound concentrations were used to calculate IC50 values for each compound by four-parameter non-linear regression (Hill equation) fit with GraphPad Prism 9.0. For a better estimate of the goodness of fit, Sy.x (Standard deviation of the Residual) was calculated with GraphPad Prism 9.0. Solubility assays Solubility of the compounds was measured using standard turbidimetric protocols.1 mL of the CdFabK assay buffer was placed in a cuvette. From a 10 mM DMSO stock, 1 µL of test compound was added to the buffer every minute, and absorbance was measured at 620 nm. A total of 14 concentrations were tested. The precipitation point was calculated using a segmental linear regression fit to the absorbance at Y-axis and the concentration at the X-axis. The intersection of the two-line is the inflection point and is the estimated concentration where the compound begins to precipitate. MIC determination MICs were performed by the broth microdilution method, as previously described, using C. difficile strain R20291, in brain heart infusion broth (BHI, from BD Diagnostics). Compound stock solutions were prepared to 10 mg/mL in DMSO (Alfa Aesar). BHI was deoxygenated overnight in a PLAS Labs 857-OTA anaerobic chamber. Strain R20291 was grown anaerobically overnight in BHI broth in a Don Whitley A35 anaerobic at 37 °C. Compounds were serially two-fold diluted (100-0.1 µg/mL) and incubated anaerobically for 1 h before being inoculated with 100 µL of bacteria prepared as a 1:100 dilution of the overnight culture. After 24 h of anaerobic incubation at 37 °C, MICs were recorded as the lowest concentration of compound that inhibited visible growth. MICs reported were performed in biological duplicates and values are shown as a range, where found. 16
