Patent number: 10010619Abstract: The invention provides bipartite inhibitors of bacterial RNA polymerase having the general structural formula (I): X-?-Y??(I) wherein X is an moiety that binds to the rifamycin binding site of a bacterial RNA polymerase, Y is a moiety that binds to the GE23077 binding site of a bacterial RNA polymerase, and ? is a linker. The invention also provides compositions comprising such compounds, methods of making such compounds, and methods of using said compounds. The invention has applications in control of bacterial gene expression, control of bacterial growth, antibacterial chemistry, and antibacterial therapy.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Rutgers, The State University of New JerseyInventors: Richard H. Ebright, David Degen, Yu Zhang, Yon Ebright

Publication number: 20160082076Abstract: It has been discovered that the Sal target represents a new and promising target for antibacterial drug discovery. The Sal target is distinct from the rifamycin target and from the CBR703 target. This indicates that antibacterial compounds that function through the Sal target should exhibit no, or minimal, cross-resistance with rifamycins and CBR703. This further implies that it should be possible to co-administer antibacterial compounds that function through the Sal target together with a rifamycin, together with CBR703, or together with both a rifamycin and CBR703, in order to achieve additive or synergistic antibacterial effects and in order to suppress or eliminate the emergence of resistance.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2015Publication date: March 24, 2016Applicant: RUTGERS, THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEYInventors: Richard H.
