Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, relies on thymidylate kinase (MtbTMPK) for the synthesis of thymidine triphosphates and thus also DNA synthesis. Therefore, this enzyme constitutes a potential Achilles heel of the pathogen. Based on a previously reported MtbTMPK 6-aryl-substituted pyridone inhibitor and guided by two co-crystal structures of MtbTMPK with pyridone- and thymine-based inhibitors, we report the synthesis of a series of aryl-shifted cyanopyridone analogues. These compounds generally lacked significant MtbTMPK inhibitory potency, but some analogues did exhibit promising antitubercular activity. Analogue 11i demonstrated a 10-fold increased antitubercular activity (MIC H37Rv, 1.2 μM) compared to literature compound 5. Many analogues with whole-cell antimycobacterial activity were devoid of significant cytotoxicity.

Increased Gram-negative bacteria resistance to antibiotics is becoming a global problem, and new classes of antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action are required. The caseinolytic protease subunit P (ClpP) is a serine protease conserved among bacteria that is considered as an interesting drug target. ClpP function is involved in protein turnover and homeostasis, stress response, and virulence among other processes. The focus of this study was to identify new inhibitors of Escherichia coli ClpP and to understand their mode of action. A focused library of serine protease inhibitors based on diaryl phosphonate warheads was tested for ClpP inhibition, and a chemical exploration around the hit compounds was conducted. Altogether, 14 new potent inhibitors of E. coli ClpP were identified. Compounds 85 and 92 emerged as most interesting compounds from this study due to their potency and, respectively, to its moderate but consistent antibacterial properties as well as the favorable cytotoxicity profile.

4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-butanoates 4, on treatment with DIBALH, followed by hydrolytic work-up, undergo a novel completely regioselective intramolecular hydroxyalkylation reaction to give 1,8-dihydroxytetralins.The yield of the reaction depends heavily on the structure of starting material, best results being achieved with 3,3-disubstituted butanoates.
