New amino acid esters of salicylanilides active against MDR-TB and other microbes
摘要:
Eleven halogenated (S)-2-(phenylcarbamoyl)phenyl 2-acetamido-3-phenylpropanoates (3a-3k) were designed and synthesized as potential antimicrobial agents. They were evaluated in vitro against some mycobacterial, bacterial and fungal strains. These compounds were active against drug-sensitive and atypical mycobacterial strains with general MIC values from 0.25 to 16 mu mol/L. The most active compounds were (S)-4-chloro-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenylcarbamoyl)phenyl 2-acetamido-3-phenylpropanoate (3i) and (S)-4-bromo-2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenylcarbamoyl)phenyl 2-acetamido-3-phenylpropanoate (3k) which exhibited activity against MDR and XDR-TB strains with MICs from 1 to 2 mu mol/L. 3k was shown to be less cytotoxic with higher IC50. Some compounds exhibited low MICs on Gram-positive bacteria (MICs >= 0.98 mu mol/L) and on fungi (MICs >= 3.9 mu mol/L). (C) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
