Homolytic alkylation of 6-chloro-2-pyrazinecarbonitrile by alkanoic acid and subsequent partial hydrolysis afforded 5-alkyl-6-chloro-2-pyrazinecarboxamides 1a-1e. Reaction of amides 1a-1e by Lawesson's reagent afforded corresponding thioamides 2a-2e. The structure of compounds was confirmed by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectra. The assessment of in vitro antimycobacterial activity of the compounds was carried out. The highest antituberculotic activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacterial strains in this series was shown by 5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-6-chloro-2-pyrazinecarbothioamide (2e).

A series of N-substituted 3-amino-5-thiocarbamoyl-2-pyrazinecarboxamides was prepared. The structure of compounds was confirmed by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectra. The results of in vitro antifugal and antimycobacterial susceptibility testing shown no activity against pathogenic fungi and some effect on mycobacteria. The highest antituberculotic activity (MIC within 25-50 mg ml-1) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacterial strains in this series was shown by 3-(3-hydroxyphenylamino)-5-thiocarbamoyl-2-pyrazinecarboxamide. The antituberculotic activity of these compounds is mostly influenced by the presence of the thioamide moiety.

Nucleophilic substitution of 3-chloro-5-cyano-2-pyrazinecarboxamide by substituted anilines afforded substituted 3-arylamino-5-cyano-2-pyrazinecarboxamides I-X. The structures of compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, UV, IR and 1H NMR spectra. The assessment of in vitro antimycotic and antimycobacterial activities of the compounds was carried out. The highest antituberculotic activity against M. tuberculosis in this series was shown by 3-anilino- 5-cyano-2-pyrazinecarboxamide (I), whose efficacy was the same as that of pyrazinecarboxamide.

AbstractTuberculosis is a chronic disease that displays several features commonly associated with biofilm-associated infections: immune system evasion, antibiotic treatment failures, and recurrence of infection. However, although Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) can form cellulose-containing biofilms in vitro, it remains unclear whether biofilms are formed during infection in vivo. Here, we demonstrate the formation of Mtb biofilms in animal models of infection and in patients, and that biofilm formation can contribute to drug tolerance. First, we show that cellulose is also a structural component of the extracellular matrix of in vitro biofilms of fast and slow-growing nontuberculous mycobacteria. Then, we use cellulose as a biomarker to detect Mtb biofilms in the lungs of experimentally infected mice and non-human primates, as well as in lung tissue sections obtained from patients with tuberculosis. Mtb strains defective in biofilm formation are attenuated for survival in mice, suggesting that biofilms protect bacilli from the host immune system. Furthermore, the administration of nebulized cellulase enhances the antimycobacterial activity of isoniazid and rifampicin in infected mice, supporting a role for biofilms in phenotypic drug tolerance. Our findings thus indicate that Mtb biofilms are relevant to human tuberculosis.

Reports have shown that oleanolic acid (OA), a triterpenoid, exists widely in food, medicinal herbs and other plants, and that it has antimycobacterial activity against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv (ATCC 27294). In this study it was found that OA had antimycobacterial properties against eight clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis and that the MICs of OA against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant isolates were 50–100 and 100–200 μg ml−1, respectively. The combination of OA with isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RMP) or ethambutol (EMB) showed favourable synergistic antimycobacterial effects against six drug-resistant strains, with fractional inhibitory concentration indices of 0.121–0.347, 0.113–0.168 and 0.093–0.266, respectively. The combination treatments of OA/INH, OA/RMP and OA/EMB displayed either a synergistic interaction or did not show any interaction against two drug-sensitive strains. No antagonism resulting from the OA/INH, OA/RMP or OA/EMB combination was observed for any of the strains tested. OA exhibited a relatively low cytotoxicity in Vero cells. These results indicate that OA may serve as a promising lead compound for future antimycobacterial drug development.

ABSTRACT Host-directed therapy in tuberculosis is a potential adjunct to antibiotic chemotherapy directed at Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Ambroxol, a lead compound, emerged from a screen for autophagy-inducing drugs. At clinically relevant doses, ambroxol induced autophagy in vitro and in vivo and promoted mycobacterial killing in macrophages. Ambroxol also potentiated rifampin activity in a murine tuberculosis model.

ABSTRACT8-Nitro-benzothiazinones (BTZs), such as BTZ043 and PBTZ169, inhibit decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribose 2′-oxidase (DprE1) and display nanomolar bactericidal activity againstMycobacterium tuberculosisin vitro. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed the 8-nitro group of the BTZ scaffold to be crucial for the mechanism of action, which involves formation of a semimercaptal bond with Cys387 in the active site of DprE1. To date, substitution of the 8-nitro group has led to extensive loss of antimycobacterial activity. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of the pyrrole-benzothiazinones PyrBTZ01 and PyrBTZ02, non-nitro-benzothiazinones that retain significant antimycobacterial activity, with MICs of 0.16 μg/ml againstM. tuberculosis. These compounds inhibit DprE1 with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of <8 μM and present favorablein vitroabsorption-distribution-metabolism-excretion/toxicity (ADME/T) andin vivopharmacokinetic profiles. The most promising compound, PyrBTZ01, did not show efficacy in a mouse model of acute tuberculosis, suggesting that BTZ-mediated killing through DprE1 inhibition requires a combination of both covalent bond formation and compound potency.

A series of 14 hydrochlorides of piperidinylethyl esters of orthosubstituted phenylcarbamic acids were evaluated for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against the strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobactenum kansasii and Mycobactenum avium. In vitro antimycobacterial activrty becomes higher with increasing hydrophobicity of the substituents. The alkoxy group is not necessary in order for the basic ethyl esters of phenylcarbamic acids to display antimycobacterial activity.

AbstractAs a part of our systematic study of antimycobacterially active derivatives of salicylamides, a series of nineteen derivatives of N-(2-pyridylmethyl)salicylamides and N-(3-pyridylmethyl)salicylamides was synthesised. The compounds exhibited in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. avium. Their lipophilicity, R M, was measured by thin layer chromatography on silica gel impregnated with trioctadecylsilane and the logarithm of the partition coefficient (octanol-water), logP, was calculated. Both the parameters of lipophilicity correlated. The quantitative relationship between the structure and antimycobacterial activity was calculated. Antimycobacterial activity increased with an increase in lipophilicity. The N-(2-pyridylmethyl)salicylamide derivatives were more active than the derivatives of isomeric N-(3-pyridylmethyl)salicylamides. The geometry of compounds was calculated and the calculation was verified by measuring the length of the hydrogen bond between hydroxyl and carbonyl groups on the salicylic moiety.
