Substituted N-Phenyl-5-(2-(phenylamino)thiazol-4-yl)isoxazole-3-carboxamides Are Valuable Antitubercular Candidates that Evade Innate Efflux Machinery
摘要:
Tuberculosis remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the world, and the increased number of multidrug-resistant and extremely drug-resistant strains is a significant reason for concern. This makes the discovery of novel antitubercular agents a cogent priority. We have previously addressed this need by reporting a series of substituted 2-aminothiazoles capable to inhibit the growth of actively replicating, nonreplicating persistent, and resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Clues from the structureactivity relationships lining up the antitubercular activity were exploited for the rational design of improved analogues. Two compounds, namely N-phenyl-5-(2-(p-tolylamino)thiazol-4-yl)isoxazole-3-carboxamide 7a and N-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-(2-(p-tolylamino)thiazol-4-yl)isoxazole-3-carboxamide 8a, were found to show high inhibitory activity toward susceptible M. tuberculosis strains, with an MIC90 of 0.1250.25 mu g/mL (0.330.66 mu M) and 0.060.125 mu g/mL (0.160.32 mu M), respectively. Moreover, they maintained good activity also toward resistant strains, and they were selective over other bacterial species and eukaryotic cells, metabolically stable, and apparently not susceptible to the action of efflux pumps.
of nickel complex, NiCl2(dppe), and a stoichiometric amount of Grignardreagent, tBuMgCl. The second protocol is a stepwise deallylation through consecutive reactions of isomerization and ozonolysis. The isomerization from N-allylazoles to N-vinylazoles is catalyzed by a ruthenium complex, HRuCl(CO)(PPh3)3, and the following ozonolysis of the derived N-vinyl intermediates affords N-unsubstituted azoles
