Cis-prenyltransferases such as undecaprenyl diphosphate synthase (UPPS) and decaprenyl diphosphate synthase (DPPS) are essential enzymes in bacteria and are involved in cell wall biosynthesis. UPPS and DPPS are absent in the human genome, so they are of interest as targets for antibiotic development. Here, we screened a library of 750 compounds from National Cancer Institute Diversity Set V for the inhibition ofMycobacterium tuberculosisDPPS and found 17 hits, and then IC50s were determined using dose–response curves. Compounds were tested for growth inhibition against a panel of bacteria, forin vivoactivity in aStaphylococcus aureus/Caenorhabditis elegansmodel, and for mammalian cell toxicity. The most active DPPS inhibitor was the dicarboxylic acid redoxal (compound10), which also inhibited undecaprenyl diphosphate synthase (UPPS) as well as farnesyl diphosphate synthase.10was active againstS. aureus,Clostridiodes difficile,Bacillus anthracisSterne, andBacillus subtilis, and there was a 3.4-fold increase in IC50on addition of a rescue agent, undecaprenyl monophosphate. We found that10was also a weak protonophore uncoupler, leading to the idea that it targets both isoprenoid biosynthesis and the proton motive force. In anS. aureus/C. elegans in vivomodel,10reduced theS. aureusburden 3 times more effectively than did ampicillin.
