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.

A series of Mycobacterium tuberculosis TMPK (MtbTMPK) inhibitors based on a reported compound 3 were synthesized and evaluated for their capacity to inhibit MtbTMPK catalytic activity and the growth of a virulent M. tuberculosis strain (H37Rv). Modifications of the scaffold of 3 failed to afford substantial improvements in MtbTMPK inhibitory activity and antimycobacterial activity. Optimization of the substitution pattern of the D ring of 3 resulted in compound 21j with improved MtbTMPK inhibitory potency (three-fold) and H37Rv growth inhibitory activity (two-fold). Moving the 3-chloro substituent of 21j to the para-position afforded isomer 21h, which, despite a 10-fold increase in IC50-value, displayed promising whole cell activity (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 12.5 μM).

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.

A series of 4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)butanoates 3 has been prepared and transformed into 1,8-dihydroxytetralins of general formula 2 by treatment with 2 equivalents of DIBALH followed by quenching with aqueous NH4Cl. A possible mechanism for this novel totally regioselective intramolecular hydroxyalkylation is suggested and the factors affecting the stability of 1,8-dihydroxytetralins 2 are also discussed.

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.
