Xue, Wenjie published the artcileN-thiadiazole-4-hydroxy-2-quinolone-3-carboxamides bearing heteroaromatic rings as novel antibacterial agents: Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and target identification, Computed Properties of 100-70-9, the main research area is thiadiazole hydroxy quinolone carboxamide preparation antibacterial docking pharmacokinetic antitumor; Antibacterial agent; Antibiotic resistance; DNA gyrase B; MRSA; Molecular docking.
In this study, N-thiadiazole-4-hydroxy-2-quinolone-3-carboxamide derivatives I (R1 = Et, cyclopentyl, 3-fluorophenyl, 1,3-thiazol-4-yl, etc.; R2 = Me, Et, n-Pr) were designed and synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against S. aureus ATCC29213, which led to the identification of ten potent antibacterial agents with min. inhibitory concentration (MIC) values below 1μg/mL. Next, bacterial growth inhibition assays against a panel of drug-resistant clin. isolates, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and cytotoxicity assays with HepG2 and HUVEC cells were performed. One of the tested compounds named I [R1 = 1,3-thiazol-2-yl; R2 = Et] (A) showed 2 to 128-times improvement compared with vancomycin in term of antibacterial potency against the tested strains (MICs: 0.25-1μg/mL vs. 1-64μg/mL) and an optimal selective toxicity (HepG2/MRSA, 110.6 to 221.2; HUVEC/MRSA, 77.6-155.2). Further, comprehensive evaluation indicated that (A) did not induce resistance development of MRSA over 20 passages, and it has been confirmed as a bactericidal, metabolically stable, orally active antibacterial agent. More importantly, the S. aureus DNA gyrase B as its potential target is identified and a potential binding mode by mol. docking is proposed. Taken together, the present work reports the most potent derivative of this chem. series (A) and uncovers its potential target, which lays a solid foundation for further lead optimization facilitated by the structure-based drug design technique.
