Synthesis of ciprofloxacin dimers for evaluation of bacterial permeability in atypical chemical space
摘要:
We describe the synthesis and evaluation of a library of variably-linked ciprofloxacin dimers. These structures unify and expand on the use of fluoroquinolones as probes throughout the antibiotic literature. A dimeric analog (19) showed enhanced inhibition of its intracellular target (DNA gyrase), and translation to antibacterial activity in whole cells was demonstrated. Overall, cell permeation was governed by physicochemical properties and bacterial type. A principal component analysis demonstrated that the dimers occupy a unique and privileged region of chemical space most similar to the macrolide class of antibiotics. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
