Design and Synthesis of "Chloropicolinate Amides and Urea Derivatives" as Novel Inhibitors for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

ABSTRACT: A series of 30 novel diamino phenyl chloropicolinate fettered carboxamides, urea, and thiourea derivatives were synthesized by coupling of methyl 4-amino-6-(2-aminophenyl)-3-chloropyridine-2-carboxylate with different acid chlorides, urea, and thiourea moieties, respectively. All of these compounds were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, CHN analysis, and high-resolution mass spectra for confirmation of the structures. Two compounds were also characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis to confirm the structures obtained by spectral analysis. All these 30 compounds were tested for their in vitro antimycobacterial activity using the microplate alamar blue assay method against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Five compounds have shown good minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values with low cytotoxicity when compared with the reference drugs. Moreover, some of the compounds have high MIC values compared with isoniazid, rifampicin, and so forth and also had shown good reign in the spread of bacteria by the nutrient starvation model. These antimycobacterial activity results have shown a good correlation with molecular docking model analysis with the inhibitors MurB by exhibiting strong interactions. Some of these compounds could be promising candidates against M. tuberculosis for future preclinical agent drug development.

Project description:New drugs are needed to control the current tuberculosis (TB) pandemic caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis We report here on our work with AX-35, an arylvinylpiperazine amide, and four related analogs, which are potent antitubercular agents in vitro All five compounds showed good activity against M. tuberculosis in vitro and in infected THP-1 macrophages, while displaying only mild cytotoxicity. Isolation and characterization of M. tuberculosis-resistant mutants to the arylvinylpiperazine amide derivative AX-35 revealed mutations in the qcrB gene encoding a subunit of cytochrome bc 1 oxidase, one of two terminal oxidases of the electron transport chain. Cross-resistance studies, allelic exchange, transcriptomic analyses, and bioenergetic flux assays provided conclusive evidence that the cytochrome bc 1 -aa 3 is the target of AX-35, although the compound appears to interact differently with the quinol binding pocket compared to previous QcrB inhibitors. The transcriptomic and bioenergetic profiles of M. tuberculosis treated with AX-35 were similar to those generated by other cytochrome bc 1 oxidase inhibitors, including the compensatory role of the alternate terminal oxidase cytochrome bd in respiratory adaptation. In the absence of cytochrome bd oxidase, AX-35 was bactericidal against M. tuberculosis Finally, AX-35 and its analogs were active in an acute mouse model of TB infection, with two analogs displaying improved activity over the parent compound. Our findings will guide future lead optimization to produce a drug candidate for the treatment of TB and other mycobacterial diseases, including Buruli ulcer and leprosy.IMPORTANCE New drugs against Mycobacterium tuberculosis are urgently needed to deal with the current global TB pandemic. We report here on the discovery of a series of arylvinylpiperazine amides (AX-35 to AX-39) that represent a promising new family of compounds with potent in vitro and in vivo activities against M. tuberculosis AX compounds target the QcrB subunit of the cytochrome bc 1 terminal oxidase with a different mode of interaction compared to those of known QcrB inhibitors. This study provides the first multifaceted validation of QcrB inhibition by recombineering-mediated allelic exchange, gene expression profiling, and bioenergetic flux studies. It also provides further evidence for the compensatory role of cytochrome bd oxidase upon QcrB inhibition. In the absence of cytochrome bd oxidase, AX compounds are bactericidal, an encouraging property for future antimycobacterial drug development.
