The cytochrome bcc-aa oxidase (Cyt-bcc) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a promising anti-tuberculosis target. However, when3 Cyt-bcc is inhibited, cytochrome bd terminal oxidase (Cyt-bd) can still maintain the activity of the respiratory chain and drive ATP synthesis. Through virtual screening and biological validation, we discovered two FDA-approved drugs, ivacaftor and roquinimex, exhibited moderate binding affinity to Cyt-bd. Structural modifications of them led to 1-hydroxy-2-methylquinolin-4(1H)-one derivatives as potent new Cyt-bd inhibitors. Compound 8d binds to Cyt-bd with a Kd value of 4.17 μM and inhibits the growth of the Cyt-bcc knockout strain (ΔqcrCAB, Cyt-bd+) with a MIC value of 6.25 μM. The combination of 8d with the Cyt-bcc inhibitor Q203 completely inhibited oxygen consumption of the wild-type strain and the inverted-membrane vesicles expressing M. tuberculosis Cyt-bd (ΔcydAB::MtbCydAB+). Our study provides a promising starting point for the development of novel dual chemotherapies for tuberculosis.
