The invention provides for the use of antimicrobial chemical entities based on a nitrothiazolide backbone that exhibit anti-mycobacteria activity, including the mycobacterium causing tuberculosis. Multiple compounds were synthesized and screened for anti-tuberculosis activity. Disclosed herein are a series of compounds with anti-tuberculosis activity, including six leads that completely inhibited bacterial growth at 5 micrograms per ml or less. Three of these compounds were tested to determine MIC and these ranged between 1 and 4 micrograms per ml against both drug susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains and strains that are multi-drug resistant (MDR) including XDR strains. The compounds developed are derived from parent compound nitazoxanide, which had no inhibitory activity in the stringent testing format used herein. The derivatives were synthesized using a di-nitro-thiophene or 4-Chloro-5-Nitro-thiazole scaffold and R groups connected via a peptide bond (NHCO) to cyclic compounds such as benzene, thiophene or furans. Many of these compounds have broad spectrum activity against Gram positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Several of these lead compounds were not toxic for mice at 200 mg/Kg doses administered over a period of three days.
该发明提供了基于硝基噻唑酮骨架的抗微生物化学实体的使用,这些实体表现出抗分枝杆菌活性,包括导致结核病的分枝杆菌。合成了多种化合物,并对其进行了抗结核活性筛选。本文披露了一系列具有抗结核活性的化合物,包括六种在每毫升5微克或更低浓度下完全抑制细菌生长的前导化合物。其中三种化合物经过测试,确定了最小抑菌浓度(MIC),在药物敏感的结核分枝杆菌菌株和多药耐药(MDR)株,包括XDR株中,MIC值在1至4微克/毫升之间。开发的化合物源自母体化合物硝唑咪唑,该化合物在本文使用的严格测试格式中没有抑制活性。这些衍生物是使用二硝基噻吩或4-氯-5-硝基噻唑骨架合成的,并且通过肽键(NHCO)连接到苯、噻吩或呋喃等环状化合物的R基团。这些化合物中的许多具有广谱活性,可对抗革兰氏阳性细菌,包括金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)和表皮葡萄球菌。其中几种前导化合物在连续三天内以每公斤200毫克的剂量对小鼠不具有毒性。
