Provided herein is technology relating to antimicrobial compounds and particularly, but not exclusively, to analogs of rifalazil having increased inhibition of RNA polymerase and decreased induction of human cy-tochrome P450. The compounds have an increased affinity for a bacterial RNA polymerase (e.g., a MTB RNA polymerase) and a decreased affinity for a human pregnane X receptor. Thus, in some embodiments, the steric clash of A or R with residues in the binding pocket of the human pregnane X receptor reduces an affinity of the compound for the human pregnane X receptor. Consequently, in some embodiments the steric clash thus reduces the induction (e.g., an activity) of a cytochrome P450 and/or other related proteins.
本文提供了与抗菌化合物相关的技术,特别是但不仅限于具有增强RNA聚合酶抑制作用和减少诱导人类细胞色素P450的利法拉唑类似物。这些化合物对细菌RNA聚合酶(例如结核分枝杆菌RNA聚合酶)具有增强亲和力,并对人类孕烷X受体具有降低的亲和力。因此,在某些实施例中,化合物与人类孕烷X受体结合口袋中残基的空间阻碍A或R,降低了化合物对人类孕烷X受体的亲和力。因此,在某些实施例中,这种空间阻碍减少了细胞色素P450和/或其他相关蛋白的诱导(例如活性)。
