Abstract
Evaluation of undecylenic acid (UA) and its tertiary amide N,N-dibutylundecenamide (DBUA) activity in vitro against the standard and antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains was carried out. The antibacterial potential of the acid and its amide at 2.5 and 5.0 μM concentration both against gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus) and gram-negative (E. coli) cultures was confirmed by monitoring the diameter of the bacterial growth inhibition zones. The docking study identified methionine aminopeptidase (MAP) as the most energy-favorable potential biotarget associated with the drug resistance of E. coli and S. aureus with a binding energy in the range from -8.0 to -8.5 kcal/mol. The ligands complexation was due to the formation of hydrogen bonds with ASP108, HIS171, HIS178, GLU204, GLU235, HIS76, ASP104, GLU233, ASP93 and metal-acceptor interactions with Co2+. Overall, the results indicated that UA and DBUA activity against antibiotic-resistant strains creates prospects for the development of new antibacterial formulations. Keywords: Escherichia coli, methionine aminopeptidase, molecular docking, Staphylococcus aureus, tertiary amide, undecylenic acid
期刊介绍:
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal publishes original research papers, reviews and brief notes; papers on research methods and techniques; articles on the history of biochemistry, its development and prominent figures; discussion articles; book reviews; chronicles; etc. The journal scope includes not only biochemistry but also related sciences, such as cellular and molecular biology, bioorganic chemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, genetics, and medicine (medical biochemistry et al.) – insofar as the studies use biochemical methods and discuss biochemical findings.
