Description: Helicobacter pylori infects approximately half of the world's population and is responsible for inducing chronic gastric inflammation that can progress to gastric cancer (1). At the cellular level, Helicobacter pylori infection of the human stomach is associated with inflammation that elicits DNA damage in both bacterial and host cells (2). This DNA damage must be repaired in order for the bacteria to persist. The H. pylori AddAB helicase-exonuclease is required for DNA repair and efficient stomach colonization (3), and inhibitors of this enzyme may be useful antibacterial drugs for treating these infections. The AddAB class of enzymes is closely related to the RecBCD class of helicase-nucleases; both classes are widely distributed in bacteria but appear to be absent in eukaryotes (4). As a result, the identification of inhibitors of AddAB may be useful tools for elucidating the role of AddAB and RecBCD in bacterial recombination and as potential novel antibiotics with few off-target effects.

Protocol Assay Overview: The purpose of this assay is to identify compounds that are nonselective inhibitors of the AddAB helicase-nuclease complex due to bacterial cytotoxicity. In this assay, V3065 bacteria are not infected with phage but, are incubated in the presence of test compounds alone, followed by measurement of well optical density as an indicator of bacterial growth. As designed, compounds that inhibit bacterial growth will reduce well absorbance. Compounds are tested in singlicate at a nominal test concentration of 11.86 uM. Protocol Summary: Prior to the start of the assay, V3065 bacterial culture was grown at 37 C until it reached an OD600 of 0.05 or 2.5e07 cfu/mL. V3065 was diluted in assay buffer to achieve 1.25e07 cfu/mL. To start the assay, 3 uL of Assay Buffer (0.1% Glycerol + 100 ug/mL Ampicillin + Cation Mueller Hinton Broth) was dispensed into all wells. Next, 60 nL of test compound in DMSO, Ciprofloxacin (0.95 ug/ml final concentration) or DMSO alone (1.2% final concentration) were added to the appropriate wells. Next, 2 uL of V3065 (addAB+) bacterial culture was dispensed into the appropriate wells. Plates were incubated for 18 hours at 37 C and absorbance (OD600) was read on a Envision microplate reader (PerkinElmer, Turku, Finland) using 10 flashes per well. The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows: 100 * ( ( Test_Compound - Median_Low_Control ) / ( Median_High_Control - Median_Low_Control ) ) Where: High_Control is defined as wells containing V3065 + Ciprofloxacin. Low_Control is defined as wells containing V3065 + DMSO. Test_Compound is defined as wells containing V3065 in the presence of test compound. A mathematical algorithm was used to determine nominally inhibiting compounds in the primary screen. Two values were calculated: (1) the average percent inhibition of all compounds tested, and (2) three times their standard deviation. The sum of these two values was used as a cutoff parameter, i.e. any compound that exhibited greater % inhibition than the cutoff parameter was declared active. PubChem Activity Outcome and Score: The reported PubChem Activity Score has been normalized to 100% observed primary inhibition. Negative % inhibition values are reported as activity score zero. The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-9, and for inactive compounds 9-0. List of Reagents: V3065 E.coli bacteria (supplied by Assay Provider) Ciprofloxacin (Sigma, part 17850) Ampicillin (Fisher, part BP1760-5) Cation-Adjusted Mueller Hinton II Broth (BD, part 297963) 1536-well plates (Aurora, part 19326) Comment Due to the increasing size of the MLPCN compound library, this assay may have been run as two or more separate campaigns, each campaign testing a unique set of compounds. In this case the results of each separate campaign were assigned "Active/Inactive" status based upon that campaign's specific compound activity cutoff value. All data reported were normalized on a per-plate basis. Possible artifacts of this assay can include, but are not limited to: dust or lint located in or on wells of the microtiter plate, and compounds that modulate well fluorescence. All test compound concentrations reported above and below are nominal; the specific test concentration(s) for a particular compound may vary based upon the actual sample provided by the MLSMR.
