Background: Bacterial resistance is currently a significant global public health problem. Acinetobacter baumannii has been ranked in the list of the World Health Organization as the most critical and priority pathogen for which new antibiotics are urgently needed. In this context, computational methods play a central role in the modern drug discovery process. The purpose of the current study was to identify new potential therapeutic molecules to neutralize MDR A. baumannii bacteria. Methods: A total of 3686 proteins retrieved from the A. baumannii proteome were subjected to subtractive proteomic analysis to narrow down the spectrum of drug targets. The SWISS-MODEL server was used to perform a 3D homology model of the selected target protein. The SAVES server was used to evaluate the overall quality of the model. A dataset of 74500 analogues retrieved from the PubChem database was docked with LpxC using the AutoDock software. Results: In this study, we predicted a putative new inhibitor for the Lpxc enzyme of A. baumannii. The LpxC enzyme was selected as the most appropriate drug target for A. baumannii. According to the virtual screening results, N-[(2S)-3-amino-1-(hydroxyamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl]-4-(4-bromophenyl) benzamide (CS250) could be a promising drug candidate targeting the LpxC enzyme. This molecule shows polar interactions with six amino acids and non-polar interactions with eight other residues. In vitro experimental validation was performed through the inhibition assay. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that suggests CS250 as a promising inhibitory molecule that can be exploited to target this gram-negative pathogen.
