Design, synthesis and evaluation of new GEQ derivatives as inhibitors of InhA enzyme and Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth
摘要:
A series of fluorene-based derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for inhibiting both InhA and Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth. These compounds were inspired by the previously reported Genz-10850 molecule, a good InhA inhibitor, but with a poor activity against M. tuberculosis growth. Structure activity relationships were performed by introducing the following chemical modifications: 1) the piperazine ring; 2) the amide group; 3) the aryl moiety; and 4) the fluorene moiety. Among these new derivatives, one of them was more effective against both the InhA activity and mycobacterial growth, compared to the hit compound. Docking studies were also performed to rationalize activities of these derivatives. Furthermore, we showed for the first time that efflux pump inhibitors potentiated the efficacy of Genz-10850 (GEQ) derivatives against M. tuberculosis growth, demonstrating that these compounds could be substrates of some efflux pumps.

The kinetics in the sodium borohydride reduction of fluorenone and twelve 2- and 3-substituted fluorenones were determined at three temperatures in isopropyl alcohol and the entropies and enthalpies of activation calculated. A linear Hammett σ ϱ plot was obtained using meta and para σ constants. The positive ϱ value (ϱ = +2·65) confirmed the nucleophilicity of sodium borohydride. Deviations of the
the "up" position results in the singlet state and switching into the "down" position in the triplet state. The spin control via a remote functional group makes this carbene unique for the study of spin-specific reactions, which is demonstrated for the hydrogenation reaction. Spin switching by switching the conformation of a remote functional group is a novel phenomenon with potential applications
