Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the world's deadliest chronic infectious diseases caused mainly by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Many nitrofuran derivatives were found to possess promising anti-TB potential and have been widely studied. In our previous study, we discovered diazaspiro-nitrofuran IMB1701-1702 as potent anti-TB agents.
We report herein a series of nitrofuranyl methyl N-heterocycles based on IMB1701-1702. Results reveal that most of them show potent activity (minimum inhibitory concentration: <0.016-0.062 μg/ml) against MTB H37Rv strain. Especially, compound 7h without cytotoxicity, has the same minimum inhibitory concentration value of ≤0.016 μg/ml as PBTZ169 against both MTB H37Rv strain and two clinically isolated multidrug-resistant MTB strains.
The newly designed compound 7h might be a promising anti-TB candidate.
结核病(TB)是由结核分枝杆菌(MTB)引起的全球最致命的慢性传染病之一。许多硝呋类衍生物被发现具有有希望的抗结核潜力,并得到了广泛研究。在我们之前的研究中,我们发现二氮杂螺-硝呋类 IMB1701-1702 是有效的抗结核药物。
我们在此报告了一系列基于 IMB1701-1702 的硝呋烷基 N-杂环化合物。结果表明,它们中的大多数对 MTB H37Rv 株具有很强的活性(最低抑菌浓度:<0.016-0.062μg/ml)。特别是化合物 7h 无细胞毒性,对 MTB H37Rv 株和两种临床分离的耐多药 MTB 株的最低抑菌浓度值与 PBTZ169 相同,均为≤0.016μg/ml。
新设计的化合物 7h 可能是一种有前途的抗结核候选药物。
