Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of healthcare-associated infection in the U.S. and considered an urgent threat by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Only two antibiotics, vancomycin and fidaxomicin, are FDA-approved for the treatment of C. difficile infection (CDI), but these therapies still suffer from high treatment failure and recurrence. Therefore, new chemical entities to treat CDI are needed. Trifluoromethylthio-containing N-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)benzamides displayed very potent activities [sub-μg/mL minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values] against Gram-positive bacteria. Here, we report remarkable antibacterial activity enhancement via halogen substitutions, which afforded new anti-C. difficile agents with ultrapotent activities [MICs as low as 0.003 μg/mL (0.007 μM)] that surpassed the activity of vancomycin against C. difficile clinical isolates. The most promising compound in the series, HSGN-218, is nontoxic to mammalian colon cells and is gut-restrictive. In addition, HSGN-218 protected mice from CDI recurrence. Not only does this work provide a potential clinical lead for the development of C. difficile therapeutics but also highlights dramatic drug potency enhancement via halogen substitution.

We were interested in the design and synthesis of novel bioisosteric analogues of leuprolide acetate containing the oxadiazole moiety at the C- or N-terminal of the peptide. An efficient approach for the synthesis of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles through the reaction of hydrazide with ammonium thiocyanate and desulfurization reaction of the thiosemicarbazides using different coupling reagents was employed. These compounds are bioisosteres of the amide bond. Furthermore, the coupling of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles at the C-terminal of leuprolide analogues was carried out, using a coupling reagent in the solution phase. On the other hand, the addition of a 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole to the N-terminal of the peptide sequence was carried out through the reaction of the 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole with succinic anhydride that led to the formation of a carboxylic acid moiety. Addition of the synthesized oxadiazole containing carboxylic acid to the peptide sequence was performed using a coupling reagent and on the surface of the resin. The synthesized peptides containing the oxadiazole moiety at the C- or N-terminal of the peptide sequence are peptidomimetics of leuprolide acetate. All of the synthesized peptides were purified using preparative HPLC and their structures were confirmed using HR-MS (ESI).
