Mycobacterium tuberculosisl-alanine dehydrogenase (MTB l-AlaDH) is one of the important drug targets for treating latent/persistent tuberculosis. In this study we used crystal structure of the MTB l-AlaDH bound with cofactor NAD(+) as a structural framework for virtual screening of our in-house database to identified new classes of l-AlaDH inhibitor. We identified azetidine-2,4-dicarboxamide derivative as one of the potent inhibitor with IC50 of 9.22±0.72μM. Further lead optimization by synthesis leads to compound 1-(isonicotinamido)-N(2),N(4)-bis(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)azetidine-2,4-dicarboxamide (18) with l-AlaDH IC50 of 3.83±0.12μM, 2.0log reduction in nutrient starved dormant MTB model and MIC of 11.81μM in actively replicative MTB.
结核分枝杆菌L-丙氨酸脱氢酶(MTB l-AlaDH)是治疗潜伏性/持续性结核病的重要药物靶点之一。在本研究中,我们使用与辅因子NAD(+)结合的MTB l-AlaDH晶体结构作为结构框架,对我们的内部数据库进行虚拟筛选,以鉴定新型l-AlaDH抑制剂。我们鉴定出氮杂环丁烷-2,4-二甲酰胺衍生物是一种强效抑制剂,IC50为9.22±0.72μM。通过合成进行进一步的先导化合物优化,得到化合物1-(异烟酰胺基)-N(2),N(4)-双(苯并[d]噻唑-2-基)氮杂环丁烷-2,4-二甲酰胺(18),其对l-AlaDH的IC50为3.83±0.12μM,在营养饥饿的休眠MTB模型中降低了2.0个对数,在活跃复制的MTB中的MIC为11.81μM。
