New nitrofurans amenable by isocyanide multicomponent chemistry are active against multidrug-resistant and poly-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
摘要:
A set of structurally diverse N-amino delta-lactams decorated with a 5-nitro-2-furyl moiety was synthesized using isocyanide-based multicomponent chemistry and evaluated for antibacterial activity. Three compounds displayed a selective and potent (MIC 22-33 mu M) inhibition of M. tuberculosis H(37)Rv strain growth, while other Gram-positive (MRSA and E. faecium) or Gram-negative (E. coli, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, K. pneumoniae) pathogens were not affected. The compounds also displayed moderate low cytotoxicity, as demonstrated in cell line viability assays. Several multidrug-and poly-resistant patient-derived M. tuberculosis strains were found to be susceptible to treatment with these compounds. The three most potent compounds share a significant structural similarity which provides a basis for further scaffold-hopping analog design. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A method for the chemoselectivereduction of Ugi-type lactam amides at the lactam carbonyl functionality with boranecomplexes has been developed. The novel reduction products can be further manipulated synthetically to yield various novel N- and C-terminally active unnatural amino acid building blocks.
A four-center, three-component Ugi-type reaction of a variety of keto acids, Boc- or Cbz-protected hydrazine, and isocyanides offers a simple and high yielding access to cyclic products containing an N-aminolactam unit. The latter are shown to form consistently an intramolecular hydrogen bond leading to a p-turn-like secondary structure. The possibility of integrating such N-aminolactam units (without disruption of the folded structure) into pseudotripeptide fragments is demonstrated. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
