Two new rifabutin analogs, RFA-1 and RFA-2, show high in vitro antimycobacterial activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. MIC values of RFA-1 and RFA-2 were ≤0.02 μg/ml against rifamycin-susceptible strains and 0.5 μg/ml against a wide selection of multidrug-resistant strains, compared to ≥50 μg/ml for rifampin and 10 μg/ml for rifabutin. Molecular dynamic studies indicate that the compounds may exert tighter binding to mutants of RNA polymerase that have adapted to the rifamycins.
两种新的利福布汀类似物,RFA-1 和 RFA-2,对结核分枝杆菌显示出很高的体外抗分枝杆菌活性。与利福平(≥50μg/ml)和利福布丁(10μg/ml)相比,RFA-1 和 RFA-2 的 MIC 值对利福平敏感株为≤0.02μg/ml,对多种耐药株为 0.5μg/ml。分子动力学研究表明,这些化合物可能与适应利福霉素的 RNA 聚合酶突变体有更紧密的结合。
