N-(2-Phenoxy)ethyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamides containing various amine moieties: Design, synthesis and antitubercular activity

Seven 2,6-disubstituted N-(2-phenoxy)ethyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide series containing various amine moieties were designed and synthesized as new anti-TB agents. Many of them show excellent in vitro activity against both drug-sensitive MTB strain H37Rv and two MDR-MTB clinical isolates (MIC: 0.002–0.030 μg/mL). Compounds 2f, 5e and 5g display acceptable safety and pharmacokinetic profiles, opening a new direction for further development.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinecarboxamides as potent anti-tuberculosis agents

Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly infectious disease that has been plaguing the human race for centuries. The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of TB has been detrimental to the fight against tuberculosis with very few safe therapeutic options availabl

Design, synthesis and biological activity of N-(2-phenoxy)ethyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamides as new antitubercular agents

A series of N-(2-phenoxy)ethyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamides (IPAs), based on the structure of WZY02 discovered in our lab, were designed and synthesized as new anti-TB agents. Results reveal that many of them exhibit excellent in vitro inhibitory activity with low nanomolar MIC values against both drug-sensitive MTB strain H37Rv and drug-resistant clinical isolates. Compounds 15b and 15d display good safety and pharmacokinetic profiles, suggesting their promising potential to be lead compounds for future antitubercular drug discovery.

DEUTERATED IMIDAZOPYRIDINES

A series of imidazopyridine and pyrazolopyridine compounds is provided in which carbon hydrogen bonds have been replaced with isotopic carbon-deuterium bonds, syntheses thereof, compositions thereof, and methods of using such compounds and compositions. Various embodiments provide methods of killing and/or inhibiting the growth of M. tuberculosis and/or M. avium, and methods of treating, preventing, and/or ameliorating M. tuberculosis, M. avium or other mycobacterial infections in a subject like M. leprae or M. ulcerans.

Design, synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide derivatives

We report herein the design and synthesis of “novel imidazo [1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamides (IPAs)” bearing a variety of different linkers, based on the structure of IMB-1402 discovered in our lab. Results reveal that 2,6-dimethyl-N-[2-(phenylamino)ethyl] IPAs with an electron-donating group on the benzene ring as a potent scaffold. Compounds 26g and 26h have considerable activity (MIC: 0.041–2.64 μM) against drug-sensitive/resistant MTB strains, and they have acceptable safety indices against MTB H37Rv with the SI values of 4395 and 1405, respectively. Moreover, N-[2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethyl] moiety was also identified as a potentially alternative linker (compound 31), opening a new direction for further SAR studies.

A series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine carboxamides (IPAs) bearing an N-(2-phenoxyethyl) moiety was designed and synthesized as new antitubercular agents. Seven 2,6-dimethyl IPAs demonstrated excellent in vitro activity (MIC: 0.025-0.054 μg/mL) against the drug susceptive H37Rv strain and two clinically isolated multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosisstrains. Compound 10j displayed acceptable safety and pharmacokinetic properties, opening a new direction for further development.

Design, synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of novel imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine amide-cinnamamide hybrids

We report herein the design and synthesis of a series of novel imidazo[1,2- A]pyridine amide-cinnamamide hybrids linked via an alkyl carbon chain. All 38 new hybrids were evaluated for their antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis (MTB) H37Rv ATCC 27294 using the microplate Alamar Blue assay (MABA). Although the hybrids are less active than the two reference compounds, the promising activity (MICs: 4 μg/mL) of 2,6-dimethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine amide-cinnamamide hybrids 11e and 11k could be a good starting point to further find new lead compounds against multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Scaffold-switching: An exploration of 5,6-fused bicyclic heteroaromatics systems to afford antituberculosis activity akin to the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine- 3-carboxylates

A set of 5,6-fused bicyclic heteroaromatic scaffolds were investigated for their in vitro anti-tubercular activity versus replicating and non-replicating strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in an attempt to find an alternative scaffold to the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines that were previously shown to have potent activity against replicating and drug resistant Mtb. The five new bicyclic heteroaromatic scaffolds explored in this study include a 2,6-dimethylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine-3-carboxamide (7), a 2,6-dimethyl-1H-indole-3-carboxamide (8), a 6-methyl-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (9), a 7-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide (10), and a 5,7-dimethyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxamide (11). Additionally, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines isomers (2 and 12) and a homologous imidazo[1,2-a] pyrimidine isomer (6) were prepared and compared. Compounds 2 and 6 were found to be the most potent against H37Rv Mtb (MIC's of 0.1 μM and 1.3 μM) and were inactive (MIC >128 μM) against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. Against other non-tubercular mycobacteria strains, compounds 2 and 6 had activity against Mycobacterium avium (16 and 122 μM, respectively), Mycobacterium kansasii (4 and 19 μM, respectively), Mycobacterium bovis BCG (1 and 8 μM, respectively) while all the other scaffolds were inactive (>128 μM).

Advancement of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines with improved pharmacokinetics and nM activity vs. Mycobacterium tuberculosis

A set of 14 imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamides was synthesized and screened against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of 12 of these agents were ≤1 μM against replicating bacteria and 5 compounds (9, 12, 16, 17, and 18) had MIC values ≤0.006 μM. Compounds 13 and 18 were screened against a panel of MDR and XDR drug resistant clinical Mtb strains with the potency of 18 surpassing that of clinical candidate PA-824 by nearly 10-fold. The in vivo pharmacokinetics of compounds 13 and 18 were evaluated in male mice by oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) routes. These results indicate that readily synthesized imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamides are an exciting new class of potent, selective anti-TB agents that merit additional development opportunities.
