Indolylalkyltriphenylphosphonium Analogues Are Membrane-Depolarizing Mycobactericidal Agents
摘要:
Agents that selectively target the mycobacterial membrane could potentially shorten treatment time for tuberculosis, reduce relapse, and curtail emergence of resistant strains. The lipophilicity and extensive charge-delocalized state of the triphenylphosphonium cation strongly favor accumulation within bacterial membranes. Here, we explored the antimycobacterial activities and membrane-targeting properties of indolylalkyltriphenylphosphonium analogues. The most active analogues preferentially inhibited growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MIC50 2-4 mu M) and were bactericidal against Mycobacterium bovis BCG (MBC99 3 mu M). In spite of their propensity to accumulate within membranes, we found no evidence that these compounds permeabilized mycobacterial membranes or induced cell-envelope stress. Our investigations indicated that their bacterical effects stem from sustained depolarization of mycobacterial membranes and ensuing disruptive effects on electron transfer and cell division.

The description provides novel compounds that may serve as anticancer therapeutics. The compounds of the description bind to polo-like kinases through the polo-box domain. The peptide derivatives of the description have achieved improved efficacy in biochemical assays against Plk1. Exemplary compounds of the description include macrocyclic peptidomimetics with high affinity and selectivity for polo-like kinases, which may provide the basis for a new genre of anticancer therapeutics. Other exemplary compounds of the description include bi-valent compounds with that bind to polo-like kinases through both kinase domain and polo-box domain simultaneously by incorporating additional moieties that target Plk1 kinase domain, which significantly enhances affinitity relative and may provide the basis for a new genre of anticancer therapeutics. The description also provides methods of use, methods of preparation, compositions, and kits thereof. Further, the description provides a novel method of design and/or synthesis of phosphoryl-derived peptide derivatives useful as therapeutic agents.
