Novel inhibitors of bacterial protein synthesis: structure–activity relationships for 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives incorporating position 3 and 4 variants
摘要:
Structure-activity relationships for a recently discovered novel ribosome inhibitor (NRI) class of antibacterials were investigated. Preliminary efforts to optimize protein synthesis inhibitory activity of the series through modification of positions 3 and 4 of the naphthyridone lead template resulted in the identification of several biochemically potent analogues. A lack of corresponding whole cell antibacterial activity is thought to be a consequence of poor cellular penetration as evidenced by the enhancement of activity observed for a lead analogue tested in the presence of a cell permeabilizing agent.
