The title (E)-(3-nitrophenyl)-1-(pyrazin-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-ones were prepared by the Claisen- Schmidt condensation of acetylpyrazines and 2-nitro-, 3-nitro- and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde in pyridine using diethylamine as the catalyst. The compounds were bioassayed for in vitro antifungal, antimycobacterial and photosynthesis-inhibiting activity. The high potency of (E)-1-(5-tert-butylpyrazin-2-yl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one againstMycobacterium tuberculosis(MIC 0.78 μg/ml) and moderate activities of several compounds againstTrichophyton mentagrophytesandCandidaspp. do not support the assumption that phenolic groups are essential for antimycobacterial and antifungal activity of chalcones and their analogues. In fact, the nitro-substituted compounds were superior to the previously described hydroxylated congeners with antimycobacterial activity (MIC ≥ 12.5 μg/ml). The compounds also reduced chlorophyll content in green algaChlorella vulgaris, and some of them inhibited photosynthetic electron transport in spinach chloroplasts as well. The photosynthesis-inhibiting activity of nitro derivatives was lower than that of the corresponding hydroxylated analogues.

Synthesis And Biological Evaluation

A series of twenty substituted 2-hydroxy-3-[(2-aryloxyethyl)amino]propyl 4-[(alkoxycarbonyl)amino]benzoates were prepared and characterized. As similar compounds have been described as potential antimycobacterials, primaryin vitroscreening of the synthesized carbamates was also performed against two mycobacterial species. 2-Hydroxy-3-[2-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy)ethylamino]-propyl 4-(butoxycarbonylamino)benzoate hydrochloride, 2-hydroxy-3-[2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)ethylamino]-propyl 4-(butoxycarbonylamino)benzoate hydrochloride, and 2-hydroxy-3-[2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)ethylamino]-propyl 4-(butoxycarbonylamino)benzoate hydrochloride showed higher activity againstM. aviumsubsp.paratuberculosisandM. intracellularethan the standards ciprofloxacin, isoniazid, or pyrazinamide. Cytotoxicity assay of effective compounds was performed using the human monocytic leukaemia THP-1 cell line. Compounds with predicted amphiphilic properties were also tested for their effects on the rate of photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in spinach (Spinacia oleraceaL.) chloroplasts. All butyl derivatives significantly stimulated the rate of PET, indicating that the compounds can induce conformational changes in thylakoid membranes resulting in an increase of their permeability and so causing uncoupling of phosphorylation from electron transport.

AbstractNew thiazole-substituted dibenzofurans 7a–j were synthesized from dibenzofuran derivatives 5a–b and substituted thiosemicarbazones 6a–h under conventional and microwave irradiation conditions. The structures of all products were established on the basis of analytical and spectral data. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains. Compounds 7b, 7d and 7h are active against Bacillus subtilis (+ve), and compound 7i displays good activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (-ve) strain. Compounds 7a–j were also evaluated for their in vitro antimycobacterial activity, and compound 7b shows antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium bovis strain.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacteria. One of the main causes of mortality from TB is the problem of Mtb resistance to known drugs. Objective: The goal of this work is to identify potent small molecule anti-TB agents by machine learning, synthesis and biological evaluation. Methods: The On-line Chemical Database and Modeling Environment (OCHEM) was used to build predictive machine learning models. Seven compounds were synthesized and tested in vitro for their antitubercular activity against H37Rv and resistant Mtb strains. Results: A set of predictive models was built with OCHEM based on a set of previously synthesized isoniazid (INH) derivatives containing a thiazole core and tested against Mtb. The predictive ability of the models was tested by a 5-fold cross-validation, and resulted in balanced accuracies (BA) of 61–78% for the binary classifiers. Test set validation showed that the models could be instrumental in predicting anti- TB activity with a reasonable accuracy (with BA = 67–79 %) within the applicability domain. Seven designed compounds were synthesized and demonstrated activity against both the H37Rv and multidrugresistant (MDR) Mtb strains resistant to rifampicin and isoniazid. According to the acute toxicity evaluation in Daphnia magna neonates, six compounds were classified as moderately toxic (LD50 in the range of 10−100 mg/L) and one as practically harmless (LD50 in the range of 100−1000 mg/L). Conclusion: The newly identified compounds may represent a starting point for further development of therapies against Mtb. The developed models are available online at OCHEM http://ochem.eu/article/11 1066 and can be used to virtually screen for potential compounds with anti-TB activity.

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.

In the present study, a series of benzothiazol derivatives 3a-l containing pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine moiety at the second position were synthesized and characterized by analytical and spectral data. The compounds were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. Compounds 1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2- yl)-3-methyl-4-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (3a), 1- (1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[ 3,4-d]pyrimidine (3d) and 1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)- 3-methyl-4-substituted phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines (3h-j) showed significant inhibitory activity against P. aeruginosa whereas compounds 1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-4- (2-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (3b), 2-[1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin- 4-yl]phenol (3e), 1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)- 3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (3h), 4-[1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyri midin-4-yl]-N,N-dimethylaniline (3j) and 1-(1,3-benzothiazol- 2-yl)-3-methyl-4-[2-phenylvinyl]-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (3k) were found to be active against C. albicans. Some of these synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vivo acute toxicity, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and ulcerogenic actions. The tested compound 4-[1-(1,3-benzothiazol- 2-yl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-yl]-N, N-dimethylaniline (3j) exhibited maximum analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Compounds 1-(1,3-benzothiazol- -2-yl)-3-methyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (3i) and 3j showed a significant gastrointestinal protection compared to the standard drug diclofenac sodium.
