4-Oxobutenoic acids are useful as biologically active species and as versatile intermediates for further derivatisation. Currently, routes to their synthesis can be problematic and lack generality. Reaction conditions for the synthesis of 4-oxo-2-butenoic

A series of novel (E)-4-oxo-2-crotonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized to find potent antituberculosis agents. All the target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv(MTB). Results reveal that 4-phenyl moiety at part A and short methyl group at part C were found to be favorable. Most of the derivatives displayed promising activity against MTB with MIC ranging from 0.125 to 4 μg/mL. Especially, compound IIIa16 was found to have the best activity with MIC of 0.125 μg/mL against MTB and with MIC in the range of 0.05–0.48 μg/mL against drug-resistant clinical MTB isolates.

Protein kinase B (PknB) is an essential serine/threonine protein kinase required for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) cell division and cell-wall biosynthesis. A high throughput screen using PknB identified a (E)-4-oxo-crotonic acid inhibitor, named YH-8, which was used as a scaffold for SAR investigations. A significant improvement in enzyme affinity was achieved. The results indicated that the α,β-unsaturated ketone scaffold and “trans-” configuration are essential for the activity against PknB. And compounds with an aryl group, especially with electron-withdrawing substituents on benzene ring, exhibited four fold potency than that of YH-8.
