The Azithromycin Pro-Drug CSY5669 Boosts Bacterial Killing While Attenuating Lung Inflammation Associated with Pneumonia Caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Antibiotic resistance is a major problem, with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) being a prototypical example in surgical and community-acquired infections. S. aureus, like many pathogens, is immune evasive and able to multiply within host immune cells. Consequently, compounds that...

description | Antibiotic resistance is a major problem, with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) being a prototypical example in surgical and community-acquired infections. S. aureus, like many pathogens, is immune evasive and able to multiply within host immune cells. Consequently, compounds that aid host immunity (e.g., by stimulating the host-mediated killing of pathogens) are appealing alternatives or adjuncts to classical antibiotics. Azithromycin is both an antibacterial and an immunomodulatory drug that accumulates in immune cells. We set out to improve the immunomodulatory properties of azithromycin by coupling the immune activators, nitric oxide and acetate, to its core structure. This new compound, designated CSY5669, enhanced the intracellular killing of MRSA by 45% ± 20% in monocyte-derived macrophages and by 55% ± 15% in peripheral blood leukocytes, compared with untreated controls. CSY5669-treated peripheral blood leukocytes produced fewer proinflammatory cytokines, while in both monocyte-derived macrophages and peripheral blood leukocytes, phagocytosis, ROS production, and degranulation were unaffected. In mice with MRSA pneumonia, CSY5669 treatment reduced inflammation, lung pathology and vascular leakage with doses as low as 0.01 μmol/kg p.o. CSY5669 had diminished direct in vitro antibacterial properties compared with azithromycin. Also, CSY5669 was immunomodulatory at concentrations well below 1% of the minimum inhibitory concentration, which would minimize selection for macrolide-resistant bacteria if it were to be used as a host-directed therapy. This study highlights the potential of CSY5669 as a possible adjunctive therapy in pneumonia caused by MRSA, as CSY5669 could enhance bacterial eradication while simultaneously limiting inflammation-associated pathology. |
