Synthesis and antibacterial activity of 5-methoxy- and 5-hydroxy-6-fluoro-1,8-naphthyridone-3-carboxylic acid derivatives
摘要:
A series of 5-methoxy- and 5-hydroxy-6-fluoro-1,8-naphthyridone-3-carboxylic acid derivatives were prepared and evaluated for cell-free bacterial protein synthesis inhibition and whole cell antibacterial activity. When compared to the analogous 5-hydrogen compounds, the presence of the 5-OH group negatively affects biochemical potency. However, a tolerance of the 5-methoxy group is indicated. Only moderate whole cell antibacterial activity is seen, but this could be due to poor cellular penetration, Because only a few 7-position variants were made for this study, further investigation into this novel series combining a broader range of 7-amino derivatives with these 5-position modifications is warranted.

Metal chelating compounds of formula (I) are provided: or tautomers thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of either characterised in that R1 is selected from the group H and C1-6 alkyl R2, R4 and R5 are independently selected from the group H, C1-6 alkyl, Cl, F, -CHF2, CF3, -C(O)CF3, -CH(OH)CF3 and R6 R3 is selected from the group H, C1-6 alkyl and C1-6 acyl R6 is a group -C(O)-N(R7)(R8) R7 is selected from H and C1-6 alkyl and R8 is selected from H, C1-6 alkyl and a group -CH(R9CO)-N(R10XR11 ). R9 and R10 are independently selected from H, C1-6 alkyl and C1-10 aralkyl and R11 is selected from H and C1-6 alkyl, or R10 and R11 together with the nitrogen to which they are bonded form a 3-8 membered heterocyclic ring wherein at least one of R2, R4 and R5 is F. The compounds of the invention have reduced susceptibility to glucuronidation and microsomal oxidation as compared to current clinical compounds of the same class but in preferred forms have lower molecular weight and have blood brain barrier permeability.
A method for chemically modifying a peptide, derivative or analogue thereof is described. The method comprises contacting a peptide, derivative or analogue thereof with a fluoro-heteroaromatic compound to activate the peptide, derivative or analogue thereof. The activated peptide, derivative or analogue thereof is then contacted with a nucleophile or base to create a chemically modified peptide, derivative or analogue thereof.
