- Mycobactin Analogues with Excellent Pharmacokinetic Profile Demonstrate Potent Antitubercular Specific Activity and Exceptional Efflux Pump Inhibition
-
In this study, we have designed and synthesized pyrazoline analogues that partially mimic the structure of mycobactin, to address the requirement of novel therapeutics to tackle the emerging global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Our investigation resulted in the identification of novel lead compounds 44 and 49 as potential mycobactin biosynthesis inhibitors against mycobacteria. Moreover, candidates efficiently eradicated intracellularly surviving mycobacteria. Thermofluorimetric analysis and molecular dynamics simulations suggested that compounds 44 and 49 bind to salicyl-AMP ligase (MbtA), a key enzyme in the mycobactin biosynthetic pathway. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first rationally designed mycobactin inhibitors to demonstrate an excellent in vivo pharmacokinetic profile. In addition, these compounds also exhibited more potent whole-cell efflux pump inhibition than known efflux pump inhibitors verapamil and chlorpromazine. Results from this study pave the way for the development of 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(aryl)-pyrazolines as a new weapon against superbug-associated AMR challenges.

- Novel isoniazid-spirooxindole derivatives: design, synthesis, biological evaluation, in silico ADMET prediction and computational studies
-
In the present scenario, the Synthesis of new and desired antimycobacterial agent has an eternal demand to resist Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The design and identification of new molecules for the treatment of tuberculosis is an important task in organic as well as medicinal chemistry research. In the present study, we have reported the combination of the desired compound using two versatile and significant moieties, isoniazid and spirooxindole derivatives. A series of novel isoniazid-spirooxindole hybrid molecules (6a-6ao) were designed, synthesized, and well-characterized by various spectroscopic methods. We have evaluated for their in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB) strain and MDR-TB. Among them, Compound 6ab was found to be the most effective compare to other compounds. ADMET-related descriptors were to be calculated of all the compounds to predict the pharmacokinetic properties for the selection of the effective and bioavailable compounds. In addition, molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies reveal that the binding modes of all the compounds in the active site of isoniazid-resistant enoyl-ACP(COA) reductase, which helped to establish a structural basis of inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

- Chemical scaffolds with structural similarities to siderophores of nonribosomal peptide-polyketide origin as novel antimicrobials against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Yersinia pestis
-
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and Yersinia pestis (Yp) produce siderophores with scaffolds of nonribosomal peptide-polyketide origin. Compounds with structural similarities to these siderophores were synthesized and evaluated as antimicrobials against Mtb and Yp under iron-limiting conditions mimicking the iron scarcity these pathogens encounter in the host and under standard iron-rich conditions. Several new antimicrobials were identified, including some with increased potency in the iron-limiting condition. Our study illustrates the possibility of screening compound libraries in both iron-rich and iron-limiting conditions to identify antimicrobials that may selectively target iron scarcity-adapted bacteria and highlights the usefulness of building combinatorial libraries of compounds having scaffolds with structural similarities to siderophores to feed into antimicrobial screening programs.

- Towards development of selective and reversible pyrazoline based MAO-inhibitors: Synthesis, biological evaluation and docking studies
-
Ten novel 3,5-diaryl pyrazolines were synthesized and investigated for their monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory property. All the molecules were found to be reversible and selective inhibitor for either one of the isoform (MAO-A or MAO-B). Further insights in the theoretical evaluation of the possible interactions between the compounds and monoamine oxidases (MAO-A or MAO-B) have been developed through docking studies. The theoretical values are in congruence with their experimental values.

- Small molecules with structural similarities to siderophores as novel antimicrobials against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Yersinia pestis
-
Drugs inhibiting the iron scarcity-induced, siderophore-mediated iron-scavenging systems of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and Yersinia pestis (Yp) may provide new therapeutic lines of defense. Compounds with structural similarities to siderophores were synthesized and evaluated as antimicrobials against Mtb and Yp under iron-limiting conditions, which mimic the iron scarcity these pathogens encounter and must adapt to in the host, and under standard iron-rich conditions for comparison. New antimicrobials were identified, some of which warrant exploration as initial leads against potentially novel targets and small-molecule tools to assist in the elucidation of targets specific to iron-scarcity adapted Mtb and Yp.

- Pyrazoline-based mycobactin analogues as MAO-inhibitors
-
3,5-Diaryl carbothioamide pyrazolines designed as mycobactin analogs (mycobacterial siderophore) were reported to be potent antitubercular agents under iron limiting condition in our earlier study. Clinical complications of newly introduced antibiotic Linezolid, due its MAO inhibitory activity, prompted us to evaluate our compounds for their MAO-inhibitory activity against rat liver MAO-A and MAO-B as pyrazolines were reported to be antidepressants and MAO inhibitors. The present study carried out with this pilot library of 32 compounds will provide us with necessary information for designing antitubercular molecules with reduced MAO-inhibitory activity and also help us in identifying a selective MAO-B inhibitor which has potential clinical utility in neurodegenerative disorders. Thirty-two compounds analyzed has shown spectrum of activity from selective to nonselective against two isoforms of rat liver MAO-A and MAO-B and also as competitive, reversible to non-competitive, irreversible. It is also interesting to note that anti-tubercular compound 11, 14 and 16 were also found to be selective inhibitors of rat liver MAO-B. Docking studies with human MAO shows that compound 11 interacts with the catalytic site of both the isoforms, suggesting compound 11 as nonselective inhibitor of human MAO isoforms.
