Design, Synthesis, and Efficacy Testing of Nitroethylene- and 7-Nitrobenzoxadiazol-Based Flavodoxin Inhibitors against Helicobacter pylori Drug-Resistant Clinical Strains and in Helicobacter pylori-Infected Mice
摘要:
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is the main cause of peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. Hp eradication rates have fallen due to increasing bacterial resistance to currently used broad-spectrum antimicrobials. We have designed, synthesized, and tested redox variants of nitroethylene- and 7-nitrobenzoxadiazole-based inhibitors of the essential Hp protein flavodoxin. Derivatives of the 7-nitrobenzoxadiazole lead, carrying reduced forms of the nitro group and/or oxidized forms of a sulfur atom, display high therapeutic indexes against several reference Hp strains. These inhibitors are effective against metronidazole-, clarithromycin-, and rifampicin-resistant Hp clinical isolates. Their toxicity for mice after oral administration is low, and, when administered individually at single daily doses for 8 days in a mice model of Hp infection, they decrease significantly Hp gastric colonization rates and are able to eradicate the infection in up to 60% of the mice. These flavodoxin inhibitors constitute a novel family of Hp-specific antimicrobials that may help fight the constant increase of Hp antimicrobial-resistant strains.

transformed into chiral nitrones by reduction of the nitro group and in situ cyclization (up to 99:1 e.r. and >98:2 d.r.). Moreover, the utility of this method has additionally been demonstrated by the further transformation to functionalized N‐hydroxypyrrolidines that possess a quaternary center by addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) to the CN bond of the cyclic nitrones in the presence of a
