Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs)
• PBPs are a group of
proteins that are
characterized by their
affinity for and binding
to penicillin
• normal constituent of
many bacteria
3
PBPs
• They are the membrane proteins with molecular
weights ranging from 40,000 to 120,000.
• Found on several Gram-positive and Gram-
negative bacteria.
• Bacteria possess a variable number of PBPs.
• A wide variation in both number and patterns of
PBPs in different bacteria.
• These patterns often correlate with the affinity of
PBPs to penicillin and β-lactam antibiotics.

ExamplesofeachclassofPBPs
Function of PBPs
• PBPs are involved in the final stages of synthesis of
peptidoglycan 7
Function of PBPs
• Inhibition of PBPs lead to irregularities in cell wall
structure, cell death and lysis 8
PBPs and antibiotics
• PBPs bind β-lactam antibiotics
(penicillin, cephalosporin,
ceftazidine)
• They are similar in chemical
structure to the modular pieces
that form the peptidoglycan.
• This is an irreversible reaction
and inactivates the enzyme
• So, it is a very good target for
drugs.

drug resistance
PDPs and Drug resistance
Four main mechanisms of drug resistance by
microorganisms
1.Drug inactivation or modification
 Deactivation of penicillin G through the production of
Beta-lactamases
2.Alteration of target site
 Alteration of target site in PBP (e.g. – by encoded mecA
gene in MRSA)
3.Alteration of metabolic pathway
4.Reduction of drug accumulation 11

Drug Discovery and Computational approaches

13
Computational approaches on Drug Targets
• Computational approaches are instrumental for drug
discovery and design efforts.
• These approaches in the context of drug discovery/design
can be divided into 3 major classes:
14
Computational
Approach
example
1. Ligand-based Quantitative Structure-Activity
Relationships (QSAR)
2. Structure-based Molecular Docking
3. Systems-based Proteochemometric modeling (PCM)
Molecular Docking
 A Structure-Based Drug
Design (SBDD)
 means “using protein
structure”
 Computational method that
predicts the binding affinity or
a score representing the
strength of binding
15
QSAR

Objectives
• To study the inhibitory effects of the new
compounds as potential PBP inhibitors
• To study the interaction of the existing β-lactam
antibiotics to suggest the further modification to
increase the efficacy of the drug
• To study the effects of PBP mutations on β-

B
Discussion - 1
• From the Docking study of 14 Hamamelitannin
derivatives, three compounds (Comp11, 13 and
14 exhibited minimum energy value.
• And also have good R2 values in QSAR models.
• The results of QSAR and Docking studies were
supportive to the possibilities of novel PBP
inhibitors.
45
Discussion - 2
• Virtual screening and docking results suggested
that Ceftobiprole and Ceftaroline can be potent
inhibitors for all types of PBPs.
• But their molecular weight (more than 500)
decreases their permeability and bioavailability.
• Further modification should be done on these
drugs.
46
Discussion - 3
• PCM models provided that;
• Mutation at amino acid position 501 and 551
showed important inter-dependencies with many
ligand descriptors
• This mutation is located near the active site
which markedly decreased the pMIC values.
• Mutation at amino acid position 541 and 541 can
change the hydrogen bonding network.
• Also lead to decrease drug susceptibility.
47
Conclusion - 1
• Results from different computational approaches
on PBPs are useful in nature on interaction
between PBP and its inhibitors such as β-lactam
antibiotics and Hamamelitannin derivatives
• Docking studies allows discerning the molecular
details on how compounds interact with PBPs.
48
Conclusion - 2
• QSAR allows discerning the relative importance
and contributions of each and every functional
groups present in the molecular structure of
compounds.
• Such knowledge from docking and QSAR can
use to modify the molecular of compounds to be
use as the more effective drug.
49
Conclusion - 3
• PCM supports the big and also molecular details
of how a series of compounds interact with a
series of proteins.
• PCM can assess the important mutation
positions conferring change in antimicrobial
susceptibility by analyzing the cross-terms
between mutated amino acids and antibiotics.
• Computational approaches can provide the
effective suggestion for improving the treatment
on bacterial infection especially for drug
resistance strains.
