Discovery of Diarylacrylonitriles as a Novel Series of Small Molecule Sortase A Inhibitors
摘要:
On the basis of a hit from random screening, a novel class of small-molecule sortase A inhibitors was generated. The primary structure-activity relationship and the minimal structural requirements for potency were established through structural modifications and molecular modeling studies.

The thermal cyclization of 3,4-diphenylbuta-1,3-dienyl isocyanates 1, generated in situ from the corresponding azides, was investigated using iodine as a catalyst. Diphenylpyridinones 2, phenylnaphthalenes 3, and indenes 4 were produced viaintramolecularringclosure. The nature of the substituents on the phenyl rings was found to be crucial to the distribution of cyclized products 2–4. The mechanism
