A series of analogues of cyclo(L-tyrosyl-L-tyrosine), the substrate of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enzyme CYP121, have been synthesized and analyzed by UV-vis and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and by X-ray crystallography. The introduction of iodine substituents onto cyclo(L-tyrosyl-L-tyrosine) results in sub-mu M binding affinity for the CYP121 enzyme and a complete shift to the high-spin state of the heme Fe-III. The introduction of halogens that are able to interact with heme groups is thus a feasible approach to the development of next-generation, tight binding inhibitors of the CYP121 enzyme, in the search for novel antitubercular compounds.
