Identification of 5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles as a new class of antimicrobial agents.

ABSTRACT: In an effort to develop novel antimicrobial agents against drug-resistant bacterial infections, 5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole compounds were synthesized and tested for their antimicrobial activity. Eight compounds comprised by two sub-scaffolds were identified as hits against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). These hits were modified at 6-position by replacing (S)-6 to (R)-6 configuration and the (R)-isomers increased their antimicrobial activities by two-fold. The most active compound showed a MIC90 value of 3.7?g/mL against MRSA in a standard microdilution bacterial growth inhibitory assay. This compound protected wax moth worms against MRSA at a dose of 5× MIC using a worm infectious model. This compound also exhibited inhibition of DNA gyrase activity in a DNA gyrase supercoil assay, suggesting the 5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles may target DNA gyrase for the antimicrobial action.

7-Substituted 2-Nitro-5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazines: Novel Antitubercular Agents Lead to a New Preclinical Candidate for Visceral Leishmaniasis.

Project description:Within a backup program for the clinical investigational agent pretomanid (PA-824), scaffold hopping from delamanid inspired the discovery of a novel class of potent antitubercular agents that unexpectedly possessed notable utility against the kinetoplastid disease visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Following the identification of delamanid analogue DNDI-VL-2098 as a VL preclinical candidate, this structurally related 7-substituted 2-nitro-5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazine class was further explored, seeking efficacious backup compounds with improved solubility and safety. Commencing with a biphenyl lead, bioisosteres formed by replacing one phenyl by pyridine or pyrimidine showed improved solubility and potency, whereas more hydrophilic side chains reduced VL activity. In a Leishmania donovani mouse model, two racemic phenylpyridines (71 and 93) were superior, with the former providing >99% inhibition at 12.5 mg/kg (b.i.d., orally) in the Leishmania infantum hamster model. Overall, the 7R enantiomer of 71 (79) displayed more optimal efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety, leading to its selection as the preferred development candidate.

New antimicrobial agents development

Project description:With the growing antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus, it is urgent to discover new antimicrobials to solve this problem. By bacterial growth based high-throughput screening, we identified two compounds, C218-0546 and STK848198, with effective antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. This study aims to explore the model of action of the compounds by transcriptomic analysis and other microbiological methods. The transcriptomic data would provide us information about the regulated genes, and hence help us further study the underlying antimicrobial mechanisms by the compounds.

Tricyclic thiazoles are a new class of angiogenesis inhibitors.

Project description:Tricyclic thiazoleamine derivatives that were identified as hits in a screen against human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation were subjected to a structure-activity relationship study. Two structurally superimposable scaffolds-4H-thiochromeno[4,3-d]thiazol-2-amine and 5,6-dihydro-4H-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-d]thiazol-2-amine derivatives-yielded low-micromolar inhibitors, and two among them 37 and 43 also exhibited antiangiogenic activity in an endothelial tube formation assay. Thus, 37 and 43 can serve as leads to develop a novel class of antiangiogenic agents.

Identification of 1-[4-Benzyloxyphenyl)-but-3-enyl]-1H-azoles as New Class of Antitubercular and Antimicrobial Agents.

Project description:A series of 1-[(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-but-3-enyl]-1H-azoles has been identified as potent antitubercular agents against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Synthesis of compounds involved acid catalyzed ring-opening of cyclopropyl ring of phenyl cyclopropyl methanols followed by nucleophilic attack of the azoles on the carbocation intermediates. Several of the compounds 26, 34, and 36 exhibited significant antitubercular activities with MIC value as low as 1.56, 1.56, and 0.61 ?g/mL, respectively, comparable to many standard drugs. These compounds were also screened against other strains of bacteria and fungi, and few of them showed good antifungal activity against A. fumigatus, responsible for lung infection.

Generation and exploration of new classes of antitubercular agents: The optimization of oxazolines, oxazoles, thiazolines, thiazoles to imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and isomeric 5,6-fused scaffolds.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is a devastating disease resulting in a death every 20s. Thus, new drugs are urgently needed. Herein we report ten classes of compounds-oxazoline, oxazole, thiazoline, thiazole, pyrazole, pyridine, isoxazole, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine and imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine-which have good (micromolar) to excellent (sub-micromolar) antitubercular potency. The 5,6-fused heteroaromatic compounds were the most potent with MIC's as low as <0.195 ?M (9 and 11). Overall, the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine class was determined to be most promising, with potency similar to isoniazid and PA-824 against replicating Mtb H(37)Rv, clinically relevant drug sensitive, multi- and extensively resistant Mtb strains as well as having good in vitro metabolic stability.

Identification of Phenylpyrazolone Dimers as a New Class of Anti-Trypanosoma cruzi Agents.

Project description:Chagas disease is becoming a worldwide problem; it is currently estimated that over six million people are infected. The two drugs in current use, benznidazole and nifurtimox, require long treatment regimens, show limited efficacy in the chronic phase of infection, and are known to cause adverse effects. Phenotypic screening of an in-house library led to the identification of 2,2'-methylenebis(5-(4-bromophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one), a phenyldihydropyrazolone dimer, which shows an in?vitro pIC50 value of 5.4 against Trypanosoma cruzi. Initial optimization was done by varying substituents of the phenyl ring, after which attempts were made to replace the phenyl ring. Finally, the linker between the dimer units was varied, ultimately leading to 2,2'-methylenebis(5-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (NPD-0228) as the most potent analogue. NPD-0228 has an in?vitro pIC50 value of 6.4 against intracellular amastigotes of T.?cruzi and no apparent toxicity against the human MRC-5 cell line and murine cardiac cells.

HPLC, quantitative NMR and HRMS spectroscopic data of nusbiarylins as a new class of antimicrobial agents.

Project description:Bacterial transcription is a valid but underutilized target for antimicrobial agent discovery [1]. Nusbiarylins are the first-in-class bacterial ribosomal RNA synthesis inhibitors that possess potent activity against various types of multidrug-resistant bacteria with a novel mode of action by targeting the interaction of bacterial transcription factors NusB and NusE [2]. To facilitate the characterization of nusbiarylin derivatives produced by other researchers, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) profiles, quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) spectroscopic data were presented for the quick determination of purity and characterization of 95 nusbiarylin compounds. The data presented in this article supplement the 1H and 13C NMR data provided previously [3,4], and assist the reproduction of nusbiarylins for chemical, biological and drug discovery research.

New Perspectives on Antimicrobial Agents: Cefiderocol.

Project description:Bacterial resistance to carbapenem agents has reached alarming levels. Accordingly, collaborative efforts between national and international organizations and the pharmaceutical industry have led to an impressive expansion of commercially available β-lactam agents in recent years. No available agent comes close to the broad range of activity afforded by cefiderocol, a novel siderophore-cephalosporin conjugate. The novelty of and need for cefiderocol are clear, but available clinical data are conflicting, leaving infectious diseases specialists puzzled as to when to prescribe this agent in clinical practice. After a brief overview of cefiderocol pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, safety data, cefiderocol susceptibility testing, and putative mechanisms of cefiderocol resistance, this review focuses on determining cefiderocol's role in the management of specific pathogens, including carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii complex, carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, and less commonly identified glucose-nonfermenting organisms such as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Burkholderia species, and Achromobacter species. Available preclinical, clinical trial, and postmarketing data are summarized for each organism, and each section concludes with our opinions on where to position cefiderocol as a clinical therapeutic.

Identification of Cyclic Dipeptides from Escherichia coli as New Antimicrobial Agents against Ralstonia Solanacearum.

Project description:Ralstonia solanacearum is a causative agent of bacterial wilt in many important crops throughout the world. How to control bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum is a major problem in agriculture. In this study, we aim to isolate the biocontrol agents that have high efficacy in the control of bacterial wilt. Three new bacterial strains with high antimicrobial activity against R. solanacearum GMI1000 were isolated and identified. Our results demonstrated that these bacteria could remarkably inhibit the disease index of host plant infected by R. solanacearum. It was indicated that strain GZ-34 (CCTCC No. M 2016353) showed an excellent protective effect to tomato under greenhouse conditions. Strain GZ-34 was characterized as Escherichia coli based on morphology, biochemistry, and 16S rRNA analysis. We identified that the main antimicrobial compounds produced by E. coli GZ-34 were cyclo(l-Pro-d-Ile) and cyclo(l-Pro-l-Phe) using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis. The two active compounds also interfered with the expression levels of some pathogenicity-contributors of R. solanacearum. Furthermore, cyclo(l-Pro-l-Phe) effectively inhibited spore formation of Magnaporthe grisea, which is a vital pathogenesis process of the fungal pathogen, suggesting cyclic dipeptides from E. coli are promising potential antimicrobial agents with broad-spectrum activity to kill pathogens or interfere with their pathogenesis.
