Fourteen new fosmidomycin analogues with altered metal chelating groups were prepared and evaluated for inhibition of E. coli Dxr, M. tuberculosis Dxr and the growth of P. falciparum K1 in human erythrocytes. None of the synthesized compounds showed activity against either enzyme or the Plasmodia. This study further underlines the importance of the hydroxamate functionality and illustrates that identifying effective alternative bidentate ligands for this target enzyme is challenging.
制备了14种改变了金属配位基团的磷霉素类似物,并评估了它们对大肠杆菌Dxr、结核分枝杆菌Dxr的抑制作用以及在人类红细胞中对恶性疟原虫K1生长的抑制作用。合成的化合物均未显示对任一酶或疟原虫的活性。这项研究进一步强调了羟肟酸基团的重要性,并表明确定该靶酶的有效替代双齿配体具有挑战性。
