Design, synthesis and evaluation of thiourea derivatives as antimicrobial and antiviral agents

Background: The development of drug-resistant by bacteria appears rapidly and thus making the effectiveness of antibiotics severely limited. Methods: A series of thiourea derivatives was synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities. Results: Structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental and spectral analysis. The biological results showed that some of the target compounds displayed comparable antimicrobial and antiviral activities with reference drugs. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that the ortho-chloro or fluoro substituted phenyl at Ar1 and substituted pyridinyl at Ar2 positions of the thiourea nucleus are essential for their in vitro antimicrobial and anti-HIV activity. In particular, compounds 8 and 10 showed better activity against the tested bacteria, fungi and viral strains than other synthesized PET derivatives reported in the present study. Conclusion: These results provide an encouraging lead that could be used for the development of new potent antiviral and antimicrobial agents.

Phenethylthiazolylthiourea (PETT) compounds as a new class of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. 2. Synthesis and further structure-activity relationship studies of PETT analogs

Phenylethylthiazolylthiourea (PETT) derivatives have been identified as a new series of nonnucleoside inhibitors of HIV-1 RT. Structure-activity relationship studies of this class of compounds resulted in the identification of N-[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]-N'-[2-(5-bromopyridyl)]-thiourea hydrochloride (trovirdine; LY300046.HCl) as a highly potent anti-HIV-1 agent. Trovirdine is currently in phase one clinical trials for potential use in the treatment of AIDS. Extension of these structure-activity relationship studies to identify additional compounds in this series with improved properties is ongoing. A part of this work is described here. Replacement of the two aromatic moleties of the PETT compounds by various substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic rings was investigated. In addition, the effects of multiple substitution in the phenyl ring were also studied. The antiviral activities were determined on wild-type and constructed mutants of HIV-1 RT and on wild-type HIV-1 and mutant viruses derived thereof, Ile100 and Cys181, in cell culture assays. Some selected compounds were determined on double- mutant viruses, HIV-1 (Ile100/Asn103) and HIV-1 (Ile100/Cys181). A number of highly potent analogs were synthesized. These compounds displayed IC50's against wild-type RT between 0.6 and 5 nM. In cell culture, these agents inhibited wild-type HIV-1 with ED50's between I and 5 nM in MT-4 cells. In addition, these derivatives inhibited mutant HIV-1 RT (Ile 100) with IC50's between 20 and 50 nM and mutant HIV-1 RT (Cys 181) with IC50's between 4 and 10 nM, and in cell culture they inhibited mutant HIV-1 (Ile100) with ED50's between 9 and 100 nM and mutant HIV-1 (Cys181) with ED50's between 3 and 20 nM.
