A small-molecule compound belonging to a class of 2,4-disubstituted 1,3,4-thiadiazine-5-ones inhibits intracellular growth and persistence of Chlamydia trachomatis.

Abstract:

:Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most common sexually transmitted pathogens in the world and often causes chronic inflammatory diseases that are insensitive to antibiotics. The type 3 secretion system (T3SS) of pathogenic bacteria is a promising target for therapeutic intervention aimed at bacterial virulence and can be an attractive alternative for the treatment of chronic infections. Recently, we have shown that a small-molecule compound belonging to a class of 2,4-disubstituted 1,3,4-thiadiazine-5-ones produced through the chemical modification of the thiohydrazides of oxamic acids, designated CL-55, inhibited the intracellular growth of C. trachomatis in a T3SS-dependent manner. To assess the feasibility of CL-55 as a therapeutic agent, our aim was to determine which point(s) in the developmental cycle CL-55 affects. We found that CL-55 had no effect on the adhesion of elementary bodies (EBs) to host cells but significantly suppressed EB internalization. We further found that CL-55 inhibited the intracellular division of reticulate bodies (RBs). An ultrastructural analysis revealed loss of contact between the RBs and the inclusion membrane in the presence of CL-55. Finally, we found that our T3SS inhibitor prevented the persistence of Chlamydia in cell culture and its reversion to the infectious state. Our findings indicate that our T3SS inhibitor may be effective in the treatment of both productive and persistent infections.
