Three analogs of mycobactin T, the siderophore secreted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) were synthesized and screened for their antibiotic activity against Mtb H37Rv and a broad panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The synthetic mycobactins were potent (MIC90 0.02–0.88 μM in 7H12 media) and selective Mtb inhibitors, with no inhibitory activity observed against any other of the microorganisms tested. The maleimide-containing analog 40 represents a versatile platform for the development of mycobactin-drug conjugates, as well as other applications.
合成了三种类角菌素 T 结构的类似物,这是结核分枝菌(Mtb)分泌的
铁载体,并对其抗菌活性进行了筛选,针对 Mtb H37Rv 及一系列革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性细菌。合成的类角菌素具有较强的抑菌活性(在 7H12
培养基中,MIC90 为 0.02–0.88 μM),并且选择性抑制 Mtb,对其他测试的微
生物没有抑制活性。含马来
酰亚胺的类似物 40 代表了一种多功能平台,可用于类角菌素-药物结合物的开发及其他应用。
