Side Chain-Modified Benzothiazinone Derivatives with Anti-Mycobacterial Activity

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading infectious disease with serious antibiotic resistance. The benzothiazinone (BTZ) scaffold PBTZ169 kills (Mtb) through the inhibition of the essential cell wall enzyme decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose 2'-oxidase (DprE1). PBTZ169 shows anti-TB potential in animal mod...

Description
Summary:Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading infectious disease with serious antibiotic resistance. The benzothiazinone (BTZ) scaffold PBTZ169 kills (Mtb) through the inhibition of the essential cell wall enzyme decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose 2'-oxidase (DprE1). PBTZ169 shows anti-TB potential in animal models and pilot clinical tests. Although highly potent, the BTZ type DprE1 inhibitors in general show extremely low aqueous solubility, which adversely affects the drug-like properties. To improve the compounds physicochemical properties, we generated a series of BTZ analogues. Several optimized compounds had MIC values against Mtb lower than 0.01 µM. The representative compound displays improved solubility and bioavailability compared to the lead compound. Additionally, compound shows Mtb-killing ability in an acute infection mouse model.
