Oxaboroles are boron-containing molecules with antifungal activity. Tavaborole topical solution, 5% is indicated for the treatment of onychomycosis of the toenails due to Trichophyton rubrum or Trichophyton mentagrophytes. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: The potential of tavaborole to cause sensitization was evaluated in a randomized, single-blind, controlled study that included 234 adults 18-75 years of age. There was no evidence of sensitization. In another study, tavaborole 5% solution, vehicle solution, positive irritant control (lauryl sulfate 0.5% solution), and negative irritant control (0.9% sodium chloride) were applied simultaneously once daily at separate sites on the back of 45 healthy adults 18-75 years of age for 21 days. The sites were evaluated 30 minutes after application for signs of local irritation. Data from days 2-22 indicated that the mean irritation response to tavaborole 5% solution was higher than the mean irritation response to the positive irritant control. Tavaborole revealed no evidence of mutagenic or clastogenic potential based on the results of in vitro genotoxicity test (Human lymphocyte chromosomal aberration assay). ANIMAL STUDIES: The carcinogenicity of tavaborole was studied by both dermal and oral administration. In the dermal study, topical doses of 5%, 10%, and 15% tavaborole solution were administered to mice once daily for 104 weeks. No drug related neoplastic findings were noted at topical doses up to 15% tavaborole solution. In the oral study doses of 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg/day tavaborole were administered to rats once daily for 104 weeks. No drug related neoplastic findings were noted at oral doses up to 50 mg/kg/day tavaborole. In an oral pre- and post-natal development study in rats, oral doses of 15, 60, and 100 mg/kg/day tavaborole were administered from the beginning of organogenesis (gestation day 6) through the end of lactation (lactation day 20). In the presence of minimal maternal toxicity, no embryofetal toxicity or effects on postnatal development were noted at 100 mg/kg/day. In a dermal embryofetal development study in rabbits, topical doses of 1%, 5%, and 10% tavaborole solution were administered during the period of organogenesis (gestational days 6-28) to pregnant female rabbits. A dose dependent increase in dermal irritation at the treatment site was noted at 5% and 10% tavaborole solution. A decrease in fetal bodyweight was noted at 10% tavaborole solution. No drug related malformations were noted in rabbits at 10% tavaborole solution (36 times the MRHD based on AUC comparisons). No embryofetal toxicity was noted in rabbits at 5% tavaborole solution (26 times the MRHD based on AUC comparisons). No effects on fertility were observed in male and female rats that were administered oral doses up to 300 mg/kg/day tavaborole (107 times the MRHD based on AUC comparisons) prior to and during early pregnancy. Tavaborole revealed no evidence of mutagenic or clastogenic potential based on the results of in vitro genotoxicity test (Ames assay) and in vivo genotoxicity test (rat micronucleus assay).

The physical appearance of the infected nail can diminish self-image and negatively impact quality of life. Patients may use nail polish to mask the appearance of infected nails. /The purpose of this study was/ to evaluate the in vitro nail penetration properties of tavaborole topical solution, 5%, through nail polish using ex vivo, non-diseased human fingernails. In study 1, tavaborole penetration was evaluated over 20 days of dosing using the Franz finite dose technique and modified Franz diffusion cells. Nails received either 1 coat of over-the-counter (OTC) typical polish or were left unpolished (controls). In study 2, tavaborole penetration was measured over 14 days of dosing using the finite dose technique and vertical diffusion cells. Nails were polished with either 4 coats or 1 coat of salon typical polish or with 2 coats or 1 coat of OTC typical polish, or they were left unpolished. In study 1, the mean + or - standard deviation (SD) cumulative tavaborole penetration at day 21 was numerically higher, though not statistically significant, through polished nails (3,526 + or - 1,433 ug/sq cm)vs unpolished nails (2,661 + or - 1,319 ug/sq cm).In study 2, the mean cumulative tavaborole penetration was also numerically higher (statistical significance not assessed) through all nails that received polish vs unpolished nails. At day 15, mean + or - SD cumulative tavaborole nail penetration was 1,179 + or - 554 ug/sq cm through 4 coats of salon typical polish, 1,227 + or - 974 ug/sq cm through 1 coat of salon typical polish, 1,493 + or - 1,322 ug/sq cm through 2 coats of OTC typical polish, 1,428 + or - 841 ug/sq cm through 1 coat of OTC typical polish, and 566 + or - 318 ug/sq cm through unpolished nails. Results from these in vitro studies demonstrated that tavaborole penetrated through human nails with up to 4 layers of nail polish.

Tavaborole exerts its antifungal activity by blocking cellular protein synthesis through the formation of an adduct with cytoplasmic leucyl-aminoacyl transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetase.|The broad-spectrum benzoxaborole antifungal AN2690 /tavaborole/ blocks protein synthesis by inhibiting leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) via a novel oxaborole tRNA trapping mechanism in the editing site. Herein, one set of resistance mutations is at Asp487 outside the LeuRS hydrolytic editing pocket, in a region of unknown function. It is located within a eukaryote/archaea specific insert I4, which forms part of a cap over a benzoxaborole-AMP that is bound in the LeuRS CP1 domain editing active site. Mutational and biochemical analysis at Asp487 identified a salt bridge between Asp487 and Arg316 in the hinge region of the I4 cap of yeast LeuRS that is critical for tRNA deacylation. We hypothesize that this electrostatic interaction stabilizes the cap during binding of the editing substrate for hydrolysis.|The mechanism of action of tavaborole against susceptible fungi involves inhibition of fungal protein synthesis by inhibition of an aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase (AARS). Tavaborole inhibits the editing domain of leucyl-tRNA synthetase and exhibits good relative selectivity for this fungal enzyme.|Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) specifically links leucine to the 3' end of tRNA(leu) isoacceptors. The overall accuracy of the two-step aminoacylation reaction is enhanced by an editing domain that hydrolyzes mischarged tRNAs, notably ile-tRNA(leu). We present crystal structures of the editing domain from two eukaryotic cytosolic LeuRS: human and fungal pathogen Candida albicans. In comparison with previous structures of the editing domain from bacterial and archeal kingdoms, these structures show that the LeuRS editing domain has a conserved structural core containing the active site for hydrolysis, with distinct bacterial, archeal, or eukaryotic specific peripheral insertions. It was recently shown that the benzoxaborole antifungal compound AN2690 (5-fluoro-1,3-dihydro-1-hydroxy-1,2-benzoxaborole) inhibits LeuRS by forming a covalent adduct with the 3' adenosine of tRNA(leu) at the editing site, thus locking the enzyme in an inactive conformation. To provide a structural basis for enhancing the specificity of these benzoxaborole antifungals, we determined the structure at 2.2 A resolution of the C. albicans editing domain in complex with a related compound, AN3018 (6-(ethylamino)-5-fluorobenzo[c][1,2]oxaborol-1(3H)-ol), using AMP as a surrogate for the 3' adenosine of tRNA(leu). The interactions between the AN3018-AMP adduct and C. albicans LeuRS are similar to those previously observed for bacterial LeuRS with the AN2690 adduct, with an additional hydrogen bond to the extra ethylamine group. However, compared to bacteria, eukaryotic cytosolic LeuRS editing domains contain an extra helix that closes over the active site, largely burying the adduct and providing additional direct and water-mediated contacts. Small differences between the human domain and the fungal domain could be exploited to enhance fungal specificity.|Aminoacyl-transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetases, which catalyze the attachment of the correct amino acid to its corresponding tRNA during translation of the genetic code, are proven antimicrobial drug targets. We show that the broad-spectrum antifungal 5-fluoro-1,3-dihydro-1-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole (AN2690), in development for the treatment of onychomycosis, inhibits yeast cytoplasmic leucyl-tRNA synthetase by formation of a stable tRNA(Leu)-AN2690 adduct in the editing site of the enzyme. Adduct formation is mediated through the boron atom of AN2690 and the 2'- and 3'-oxygen atoms of tRNA's3'-terminal adenosine. The trapping of enzyme-bound tRNA(Leu) in the editing site prevents catalytic turnover, thus inhibiting synthesis of leucyl-tRNA(Leu) and consequentially blocking protein synthesis. This result establishes the editing site as a bona fide target for aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitors.|A new class of antimicrobial benzoxaborole compounds was identified as a potent inhibitor of leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) and therefore of protein synthesis. In a novel mechanism, AN2690 (5-fluoro-1,3-dihydro-1-hydroxy-2,1-benzoxaborole) blocks fungal cytoplasmic LeuRS by covalently trapping tRNA(Leu) in the editing site of the enzyme's CP1 domain. However, some resistant mutation sites are located outside of the CP1 hydrolytic editing active site. Thus, their mode of action that undermines drug inhibition was not understood. A combination of X-ray crystallography, molecular dynamics, metadynamics, biochemical experiments, and mutational analysis of a distal benzoxaborole-resistant mutant uncovered a eukaryote-specific tyrosine "switch" that is critical to tRNA-dependent post-transfer editing. The tyrosine "switch" has three states that shift between interactions with a lysine and the 3'-hydroxyl of the tRNA terminus, to inhibit or promote post-transfer editing. The oxaborole's mechanism of action capitalizes upon one of these editing active site states. This tunable editing mechanism in eukaryotic and archaeal LeuRSs is proposed to facilitate precise quality control of aminoacylation fidelity. These mechanistic distinctions could also be capitalized upon for development of the benzoxaboroles as a broad spectrum antibacterial.
