Diarylthiazole (DAT), a hit from diversity screening, was found to have potent antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). In a systematic medicinal chemistry exploration, we demonstrated chemical opportunities to optimize the potency and physicochemical properties. The effort led to more than 10 compounds with submicromolar MICs and desirable physicochemical properties. The potent antimycobacterial activity, in conjunction with low molecular weight, made the series an attractive lead (antibacterial ligand efficiency (ALE) >0.4). The series exhibited excellent bactericidal activity and was active against drug-sensitive and resistant Mtb. Mutational analysis showed that mutations in prrB impart resistance to DAT compounds but not to reference drugs tested. The sensor kinase PrrB belongs to the PrrBA two component system and is potentially the target for DAT. PrrBA is a conserved, essential regulatory mechanism in Mtb and has been shown to have a role in virulence and metabolic adaptation to stress. Hence, DATs provide an opportunity to understand a completely new target system for antimycobacterial drug discovery.

Ca2+ overload in myocardial cells is responsible for arrhythmia. Sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX) inhibitors are more effective than sodium-hydrogen exchanger (NHE) inhibitors with regard to modulation of Ca 2+ overload, because NCX inhibitors can directly inhibit the influx of Ca2+ into cells. NCX is an attractive target for the treatment of heart failure and ischemia-reperfusion. We have designed and synthesized a series of N-(2-aminopyridin-4-ylmethyl)nicotinamide derivatives, based on compound 5. We have discovered a novel NCX inhibitor (23h) with an IC 50 value of 0.12 μM against reverse NCX. The inhibitory activities of our NCX inhibitors against cytochrome P450 were also evaluated. The effects on heart failure and the pharmacokinetic profile of compound 23h are discussed.

A general synthetic scheme for the preparation of 2-amino-4-(4-imidazolyl)pyridines, potential histamine H2 antagonists, is described. The synthesis is based on the Neber rearrangement of 1-(4-pyridyl)-l-alkanone oxime O-tosylates to the appropriate α-aminoketones or α-aminoketals, which are then converted to the corresponding imidazoles. The reaction of Grignard reagents with 2-chloroisonicotinonitrile, as well as nucleophilic displacement of chloride by amines on 2-chloroisonicotinonitrile and derivatives, are discussed in relation to the preparation of the ketone intermediates.
