New therapeutic strategies against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis are urgently required to combat the global tuberculosis (TB) threat. Toward this end, we previously reported the identification of 1,4-azaindoles, a promising class of compounds with potent antitubercular activity through noncovalent inhibition of decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose 2′-epimerase (DprE1). Further, this series was optimized to improve its physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetics in mice. Here, we describe the short-listing of a potential clinical candidate, compound 2, that has potent cellular activity, drug-like properties, efficacy in mouse and rat chronic TB infection models, and minimal in vitro safety risks. We also demonstrate that the compounds, including compound 2, have no antagonistic activity with other anti-TB drugs. Moreover, compound 2 shows synergy with PA824 and TMC207 in vitro, and the synergy effect is translated in vivo with TMC207. The series is predicted to have a low clearance in humans, and the predicted human dose for compound 2 is ≤1 g/day. Altogether, our data suggest that a 1,4-azaindole (compound 2) is a promising candidate for the development of a novel anti-TB drug. Copyright

In a previous report, we described the discovery of 1,4-azaindoles, a chemical series with excellent in vitro and in vivo antimycobacterial potency through noncovalent inhibition of decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribose-2′- epimerase (DprE1). Nevertheless, high mouse metabolic turnover and phosphodiesterase 6 (PDE6) off-target activity limited its advancement. Herein, we report lead optimization of this series, culminating in potent, metabolically stable compounds that have a robust pharmacokinetic profile without any PDE6 liability. Furthermore, we demonstrate efficacy for 1,4-azaindoles in a rat chronic TB infection model. We believe that compounds from the 1,4-azaindole series are suitable for in vivo combination and safety studies.
