Eleven fatty acid analogues incorporating four-membered carbocycles (cyclobutenes, cyclobutanes, cyclobutanones, and cyclobutanols) were investigated for the ability to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis (Msm) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). A number of the analogues displayed inhibitory activity against both mycobacterial species in minimal media. Several of the molecules displayed potent levels of inhibition against Mtb, with MIC values equal to or below those observed with the anti-tuberculosis drugs D-cycloserine and isoniazid. In contrast, two of the analogues that display the greatest activity against Mtb failed to inhibit E. coli growth under either set of conditions. Thus, the active molecules identified herein may provide the basis for the development of anti-mycobacterial agents against Mtb.

Page/Page column 44; 54, (2014/01/07)
This disclosure relates to amphiphilic compounds containing a cyclobutene or cyclobutane moiety. In some embodiments, the compounds are useful for treating infection by Mycobacterium such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Cyclobutene containing compounds are also useful as monomers in the preparation of amphiphilic polymers.
