Rational Design and Synthesis of Thioridazine Analogues as Enhancers of the Antituberculosis Therapy
摘要:
Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is still one of the leading infectious diseases globally. Therefore, novel approaches are needed to face this disease. Efflux pumps are known to contribute to the emergence of M tuberculosis drug resistance. Thioridazine has shown good anti-TB properties both in vitro and in vivo, likely due to its capacity to inhibit efflux mechanisms. Here we report the design and synthesis of a number of putative efflux inhibitors inspired by the structure of thioridazine. Compounds were evaluated for their in vitro and ex vivo activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. Compared to the parent molecule, some of the compounds synthesized showed higher efflux inhibitory capacity, less cytotoxicity, and a remarkable synergistic effect with anti-TB drugs both in vitro and in human macrophages, demonstrating their potential to be used as coadjuvants for the treatment of tuberculosis.
Disclosed are carbazole derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that act on the 5-HT
7
receptor. The carbazole derivatives and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have high binding affinities for the 5-HT
7
serotonin receptor and antagonistic activities against the 5-HT
7
serotonin receptor. Further disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions including the compounds as active ingredients. The pharmaceutical compositions are useful as therapeutic and prophylactic agents for central nervous system diseases where antagonistic activities against 5-HT

are required, such as depression, migraine, anxiety, pain, inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, body temperature dysregulation, circadian rhythm dysregulation, sleep disturbance, and smooth muscle-related diseases.
An efficient and regioselective ruthenium-catalyzed hydroaminomethlyation of olefins is reported. Key to success is the use of specific 2-phosphino-substituted imidazole ligands and triruthenium dodecacarbonyl as catalyst. Both industrially important aliphatic as well as various functionalized olefins react with primary and secondary amines to give the corresponding secondary and tertiary amines generally in high yields (up to 96%) and excellent regioselectivities (n/iso up to 99:1).
