Contractor shall provide all labor, parts, supplies and equipment necessary to perform Synthesis and Testing of novel antibiotic compounds for research study shall include but are not limited to: Lead Optimization of a Novel Antibacterial Agent Targeting DksA in Gram-negative Pathogens Task 1: Synthesis of 23 analogs of lead compound #23 at 10-25 mg scale, following the general scheme shown below. Subtask 1.1: Modifications at the left-hand side (LHS): 11 compounds, harboring alternate 5-membered heteroaryl moieties. Subtask 1.2: Modifications at the right-hand side (RHS): 6 compounds, introducing substitutions and heteroaryl moieties. Subtask 1.3: Modifications in the linker region: 6 compounds, introducing heteroatoms in the linker or modifications of the amide bond. Task 2: Primary microbiological profiling. Subtask 2.1 The spectrum of activity of the compounds will be determined via testing of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) using a panel of bacterial strains composed of mostly Gram-negative bacteria but also including some Gram-positives to monitor off-target activity. Subtask 2.2 Plasma protein binding of active compounds will be assessed by MIC testing in the presence of human serum or albumin). Subtask 2.3 Non-specific membrane lysis effects will be assessed via equine erythrocyte (hemolysis) assay.
