We screened a series of 4-anilinoquinolines and 4-anilinoquinazolines and identified novel inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The focused 4-anilinoquinoline/quinazoline scaffold arrays yielded compounds with high potency and the identification of 6,7-dimethoxy-N-(4-((4-methylbenzyl)oxy)phenyl)quinolin-4-amine (34) with an MIC value of 0.63-1.25 µM. We also defined a series of key structural features, including the benzyloxy aniline and the 6,7-dimethoxy quinoline ring, that are important for Mtb inhibition. Importantly the compounds showed very limited toxicity and scope for further improvement by iterative medicinal chemistry.
我们筛选了一系列 4-苯胺基喹啉和 4-苯胺基喹唑啉,鉴定出了新型结核分枝杆菌(Mycobacterium tuberculosis,Mtb)抑制剂。聚焦的 4-苯胺基喹啉/喹唑啉支架阵列产生了具有高活性的化合物,并鉴定出了 6,7-二甲氧基-N-(4-((4-甲基苄基)氧基)苯基)喹啉-4-胺(34),其 MIC 值为 0.63-1.25 µM。我们还确定了一系列关键的结构特征,包括苄氧基苯胺和 6,7-二甲氧基喹啉环,这些特征对于 Mtb 抑制很重要。重要的是,这些化合物的毒性非常有限,通过迭代药物化学有进一步改善的空间。
