- Synthesis and Investigation of Phthalazinones as Antitubercular Agents
-
A series of 2- and 7-substituted phthalazinones was synthesised and their potential as anti-tubercular drugs assessed via Mycobacterium tuberculosis (mc26230) growth inhibition assays. All phthalazinones tested showed growth inhibitory activity (MIC 100 μm), and those compounds containing lipophilic and electron-withdrawing groups generally exhibited better anti-tubercular activity. Several lead compounds were identified, including 7-((2-amino-6-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)-2-heptylphthalazin-1(2H)-one (MIC=1.6 μm), 4-tertbutylphthalazin-2(1H)-one (MIC=3 μm), and 7-nitro-phthalazin-1(2H)-one (MIC=3 μm). Mode of action studies indicated that selected pyrimidinyl-phthalazinones may interfere with NADH oxidation, however, the mode of action of the lead compound is independent of this enzyme. MIC=minimum inhibitory concentration.

- Quinolinyl pyrimidines: Potent inhibitors of NDH-2 as a novel class of anti-TB agents
-
NDH-2 is an essential respiratory enzyme in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which plays an important role in the physiology of Mtb. Herein, we present a target-based effort to identify a new structural class of inhibitors for NDH-2. High-throughput screening of the AstraZeneca corporate collection resulted in the identification of quinolinyl pyrimidines as the most promising class of NDH-2 inhibitors. Structure-activity relationship studies showed improved enzyme inhibition (IC50) against the NDH-2 target, which in turn translated into cellular activity against Mtb. Thus, the compounds in this class show a good correlation between enzyme inhibition and cellular potency. Furthermore, early ADME profiling of the best compounds showed promising results and highlighted the quinolinyl pyrimidine class as a potential lead for further development.
