Described herein is the discovery that certain mycobacterial serine/threonine protein kinases, particularly protein kinase G (PknG), are effective therapeutic targets for the treatment of mycobacterial infections. Furthermore, the present application refers to the use of mycobacterial serine/threonine protein kinases for developing methods for detection and determination of these kinases for recognizing and monitoring diseases and for controlling therapy of diseases. Additionally disclosed are novel 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene compounds, benzo(g)quinoxaline compounds, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and methods of using such compounds and salts thereof for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of virally and/or bacterially induced infections, particularly mycobacteria-induced infections, including opportunistic infections, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene compound and/or benzo(g)quinoxaline compound and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
本文描述的是发现某些分枝杆菌丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶,特别是蛋白激酶 G (PknG),是治疗分枝杆菌感染的有效治疗靶点。此外,本申请还涉及利用分枝杆菌丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶开发检测和测定这些激酶的方法,用于识别和监测疾病以及控制疾病的治疗。此外,还公开了新型 4,5,6,7-四氢苯并[b]噻吩化合物、苯并(g)喹喔啉化合物及其药学上可接受的盐,以及使用此类化合物及其盐预防和/或治疗病毒和/或细菌引起的感染,特别是分枝杆菌引起的感染(包括机会性感染)的方法,以及含有至少一种 4,5,6,7-四氢苯并[b]噻吩化合物和/或苯并(g)喹喔啉化合物和/或其药学上可接受的盐,并将其置于药学上可接受的载体中。
