Precision antisense antibacterial agents may be developed into novel antibiotics in the fight against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, a series of diaminobutanoic acid (DAB) dendrons are presented as novel carriers for the delivery of antisense antibacterial peptide nucleic acids (PNAs). The dendron-PNA conjugates targeting the essential acpP gene exhibit specific antisense antimicrobial bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae at one-digit micromolar concentrations, while showing low toxicity to human cells. One compound selected from a structure-activity relationship series showed high stability in mouse and human serum (t1/2 ≫ 24 h) as well as in vivo activity against a multidrug-resistant, extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E. coli in a murine peritonitis model. The compound was also well tolerated in mice upon i.v. administration up to a dose of 20 mg/kg, and in vivo fluorescence imaging indicated clearance via renal excretion with slight accumulation in the kidneys and liver. Thus, DAB-based dendrons constitute a promising new chemistry platform for development of effective delivery agents for antibacterial drugs with possible in vivo use.
