TrmD, tRNA-(N1G37) methyltransferase, a member of SpoU-TrmD (SPOUT) RNA methyltransferase family, is one of the key enzymes responsible for the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab). A number of TrmD inhibitors including thienopyrimidines and fused thienopyrimidines are reported as potent anti-bacterial and anti-mycobacterial agents. In the current study, a library of ~200 structurally diverse thienopyrimidines were designed and subjected to preliminary in silico studies. 22 of the compounds were selected, synthesized and were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against a panel of pathogens consisting E. coli, S. aureus, K. pneuminiae, A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa and M. tuberculosis (ATCC 27294). Among the tested compounds, 13b, 18a-e were found to inhibit M. tuberculosis (ATCC 27294) with the MIC of 16-32 μg/mL. The compound 18f was found to be selective against S. aureus with the MIC of 4 μg/mL and moderate activity against M. tuberculosis. The selected compounds were further subjected to docking, 3D-QSAR and ADME/T studies to understand the mechanism of action and also their physico chemical profile.

A series of hybrid compounds containing the thienopyrimidine scaffold as a DHFR inhibitor fused with a bioactive sulphonamide piperazine skeleton were synthesized and evaluated against the chloroquine and pyrimethamine resistant K1 strain of Plasmodium falciparum and the HM1:1MSS strain of Entamoeba histolytica, respectively. A few of the compounds showed better results than the standard drugs. The toxicity of the hybrids was measured on the Chinese hamster cell line. The majority of the compounds had low toxicity. The binding modes of the most potent antimalarial compounds (5, 6 and 8) were also investigated against PfDHFR using molecular docking and enzyme binding studies, whereby 5 and 6 were found to the most promising against PfDHFR. The present studies suggest that these hybrids might be possible antiprotozoal lead compounds worth further investigation.
