Zusammenfassung:( ) is a causative agent of many hospital- and community-acquired infections with the tendency to develop resistance to all known antibiotics. Therefore, the development of novel antistaphylococcal agents is of urgent need. Sortase A is considered a promising molecular target for the development of antistaphylococcal agents. The main aim of this study was to identify novel sortase A inhibitors. In order to find novel antistaphylococcal agents, we performed phenotypic screening of a library containing 15512 compounds against ATCC43300. The molecular docking of hits was performed using the DOCK program and 10 compounds were selected for in vitro enzymatic activity inhibition assay. Two inhibitors were identified, N,N-diethyl-N'-(5-nitro-2-(quinazolin-2-yl)phenyl)propane-1,3-diamine ( ) and acridin-9-yl-(1 -benzoimidazol-5-yl)-amine ( ), which decrease sortase A activity with IC values of 160.3 µM and 207.01 µM, respectively. It was found that compounds and possess antibacterial activity toward 29 tested multidrug resistant strains with MIC values ranging from 78.12 to 312.5 mg/L. These compounds can be used for further structural optimization and biological research.
