Synthesis, Reduction Potentials, and Antitubercular Activity of Ring A/B Analogues of the Bioreductive Drug (6S)-2-Nitro-6-{[4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl]oxy}-6,7-dihydro-5H-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazine (PA-824)
摘要:
The nitroimidazooxazine S-1 (PA-824) is a new class of bioreductive drug for tuberculosis. A series of related bicyclic nitroheterocycles was synthesized, designed to have a wide range of one-electron reduction potentials E(1) (from -570 to -338 mV, compared with -534 mV for S-1). The observed E(l) values closely correlated with the sigma(m) values of the heteroatom at the 4/8-position of the adjacent six-membered ring. Although the compounds spanned a range of E(1) values around that of S-1, only the nitroimidazothiazines showed significant antitubercular activity (at a similar level of potency), suggesting that E(1) is not the main driver of efficacy. Furthermore, there was a correlation between activity and the formation of imidazole ring-reduced products at the two-electron level, pointing to the potential importance of this reduction pathway, which is determined by the nature of the substituent at the 2-position of the 4-nitroimidazole ring.

Discovery of the potent antileishmanial effects of antitubercular 6-nitro-2,3-dihydroimidazo [2,1-1)] [1,3]oxazoles and 7-substituted 2-nitro-5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazines stimulated the examination of further scaffolds (e.g., 2-nitro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazepines), but the results for these seemed less attractive. Following the screening of a 900-compound pretomanid analogue library, several hits with more suitable potency, solubility, and microsomal stability were identified, and the superior efficacy of newly synthesized 6R enantiomers with phenylpyridine-based side chains was established through head-to-head assessments in a Leishmania donovani mouse model. Two such leads (R-84 and R-89) displayed promising activity in the more stringent Leishmania infantum hamster model but were unexpectedly found to be potent inhibitors of hERG. An extensive structure-activity relationship investigation pinpointed two compounds (R-6 and pyridine R-136) with better solubility and pharmacokinetic properties that also provided excellent oral efficacy in the same hamster model (>97% parasite clearance at 25 mg/kg, twice daily) and exhibited minimal hERG inhibition. Additional profiling earmarked R-6 as the favored backup development candidate.
