Mycobacterium tuberculosis thymidylate kinase (MtTMPK) has emerged as an attractive target for rational drug design. We recently investigated new families of non-nucleoside MtTMPK inhibitors in an effort to diversify MtTMPK inhibitor chemical space. We here report a new series of MtTMPK inhibitors by combining the Topliss scheme with rational drug design approaches, fueled by two co-crystal structures of MtTMPK in complex with developed inhibitors. These efforts furnished the most potent MtTMPK inhibitors in our assay, with two analogues displaying low micromolar MIC values against H37Rv Mtb. Prepared inhibitors address new sub-sites in the MtTMPK nucleotide binding pocket, thereby offering new insights into its druggability. We studied the role of efflux pumps as well as the impact of cell wall permeabilizers for selected compounds to potentially provide an explanation for the lack of correlation between potent enzyme inhibition and whole-cell activity.

The functionalization of aminoheterocycles by using a pyrylium tetrafluoroborate reagent (Pyry-BF4) is presented. This reagent efficiently condenses with a great variety of heterocyclic amines and primes the C?N bond for nucleophilic aromatic substitution. More than 60 examples for the formation of C?O, C?N, C?S, or C?SO2R bonds are disclosed herein. In contrast to C?N activation through diazotization and polyalkylation, this method is characterized by its mild conditions and impressive functional-group tolerance. In addition to small-molecule derivatization, Pyry-BF4 allows the introduction of functional groups in a late-stage fashion to furnish highly functionalized structures.

The heterogeneous O-arylation of phenols by nitroarenes was achieved in DMF at 100 °C by using an MCM-41-immobilised bidentate nitrogen copper(II) complex [MCM-41-2N-Cu(OAc)2] as catalyst, yielding a variety of unsymmetrical diaryl ethers in good to excellent yields. This heterogeneous copper catalyst can be easily prepared by a simple procedure from commercially readily available and inexpensive reagents, recovered by filtration of the reaction solution and recycled at least seven times without significant loss of activity.
