15 November 2007 Mechanism Studies MMS DNA Binding Replix Helicase In Situ Efflux Resistance Membrane Effects

16 November 2007 Macromolecular Synthesis Assays in S. aureus — MBX 1066 DNA synthesis is the most sensitive macromolecular pathway to MBX 1066 treatment – effects are observed at >10 μg/ml

17 November 2007 Conclusion: Half-maximal DNA interaction by MBX 1066 occurs at about 0.4 μM (~0.3 μg/ml) Fluorescence Enhancement of MBX 1066 in the Presence of DNA – Concentration Dependence

18 November 2007 MBX 1066, 1090 and 1113 are Potent Inhibitors of Replix™, a Permeable Cell DNA Replication Assay IC 50 µM (µg/mL) Against Permeable Bacteria CompoundB. subtilisB. anthracis MBX 1066 2.2 (1.5)4.1 (2.8) MBX 1090 4.8 (3.0)7.7 (4.8) MBX 1113 2.6 (0.95)6.1 (2.2) HB-EMAU (pos. ctl.) 1.1 (0.35)2.0 (0.63)

19 November 2007 Conclusion: MBX 1066 & 1090 are very potent B. anthracis helicase inhibitors with IC 50 ’s of <1 μM (<0.6 μg/ml) Helicase Inhibition by MBX 1066 & 1090 as Measured by 32 P-Based Unwinding Assay – Comparison to Other Helicase Inhibitors

22 November 2007 Mutation to Resistance to MBX 1066 is Rare in S. aureus NCTC-8325 Serial Passage A B C D E FGH Highest Sublethal Concentration (Fold MIC) S. aureus NCTC 8325 Resistant mutants-16X MIC

23 November 2007 MBX 1090 Resistant Mutants are not Cross- Resistant to MBX 1066 MICs vs MBX 1090, MBX 1066, and MBX 1113 No cross resistance to MBX 1066, suggesting different MOAs for MBX 1090 and MBX 1066

25 November 2007 DiSC 3 (5) Membrane Perturbation Assay of MBX 1066 & Analog MBX 1162 Results of DiSC 3 (5) assay 10 min after compound addition Conclusion: MBX 1066 & 1162 do not perturb membrane potential at concentrations near the MIC

26 November 2007 MBX 1066 does not disrupt HeLa cell membranes Monolayers of HeLa cells were exposed to MBX 1066 and a control antibiotic (vancomycin) for 1 h. Activity of the cytoplasmic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released into the media was measured after 30 min. Similar results obtained with MBX 1090 and MBX 1113

27 November 2007 Favorable Features of Lead Series Antibacterial Mechanism In vitro therapeutic index (CC 50 /MIC >170) Rapidly bactericidal DNA synthesis is the most sensitive macromolecular pathway at higher concentrations Interacts with DNA Fluorescence increase in the presence of DNA (Max 1/2 ~0.4 μM) Inhibits Replix TM (IC 50 ~2 μM) & replicative helicase (IC 50 ~1 μM) ~2x preference for AT-rich B. anthracis DNA vs. calf thymus DNA Target appears to be intracellular Fluorescence enhancement observed within bacterial cells MIC is significantly lower in efflux mutant of P. aeruginosa Resistance seen with some analogs and others exhibit very low frequency of mutation to resistance Minimal effects on cell membranes

28 November 2007 Future Mechanism Studies Perform genetic expression profile analysis. Expression profiling in the presence of various concentrations of bis(imidazolinylindole) compounds to identify genes up- and down-regulated in response to compound treatment Perform target under-expression hypersensitivity and over- expression resistance assays. For implicated single gene targets, construct and test strains over- and under-expressing those putative targets to confirm MOA in the cell Map loci responsible for resistance. Select resistant strains and map resulting mutations to identify genes which can confer resistance Identification of site specificity for DNA interaction. Determine the nucleotide sequence preferential for binding
