Replacing the naphthalene C-unit of the anti-tuberculosis drug bedaquiline with a range of bicyclic heterocycles of widely differing lipophilicity gave analogs with a 4.5-fold range in clogP values. The biological results for these compounds indicate on average a lower clogP limit of about 5.0 in this series for retention of potent inhibitory activity (MIC<sub>90</sub>s) against M.tb in culture. Some of the compounds also showed a significant reduction in inhibition of hERG channel potassium cur ...[more]
