Design and structure–activity relationships of potent and selective inhibitors of undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase (UPPS): Tetramic, tetronic acids and dihydropyridin-2-ones
摘要:
Based on a pharmacophore hypothesis substituted tetramic and tetronic acid 3-carboxamides as well as dihydropyridin-2-one- 3-carboxamides were investigated as inhibitors of undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase (UPPS) for use as novel antimicrobial agents. Synthesis and structure - activity relationship patterns for this class of compounds are discussed. Selectivity data and antibacterial activities for selected compounds are provided.

Synthesis of tetronic acid derivatives from novel active esters of α-hydroxyacids
Activeesters, produced by condensation of O-acetyl protected α-hydroxyacids with N-hydroxysuccin-imide, react with anions of active methylene compounds to afford β,β-tricarbonyl derivatives which upon deprotection undergo cyclization to 3-alkoxycarbonyl and 3-acyl tetronicacids. Incorporation of (S)-2-ace-toxyphenylacetic acid in this reaction sequence enables the synthesis of optically active 5-phenyltetronic
