Mycobacterium tuberculosis glutamine synthetase (GS) is an essential enzyme involved in the pathogenicity of the organism. The screening of a compound library using a robust high-throughput screening (HTS) assay is currently thought to be the most efficient way of getting lead molecules, which are potent inhibitors for this enzyme. The authors have purified the enzyme to a > 90% level from the recombinant Escherichia coli strain YMC21E, and it was used for partial characterization as well as standardization experiments. The results indicated that the K-m of the enzyme for L-glutamine and hydroxylamine were 60 mM and 8.3 mM, respectively. The K-m for ADP, arsenate, and Mn2+, were 2 mu M, 5 mu M, and 25 mu M, respectively. When the components were adjusted according to their K-m values, the activity remained constant for at least 3 h at both 25 degrees C and 37 degrees C. The Z' factor determined in microplate format indicated robustness of the assay. When the signal/noise ratios were determined for different assay volumes, it was observed that the 200-mu l volume was found to be optimum. The DMSO tolerance of the enzyme was checked up to 10%, with minimal inhibition. The IC50 value determined for L-methionine S-sulfoximine on the enzyme activity was 3 mM. Approximately 18,000 small molecules could be screened per day using this protocol by a Beckman Coulter HTS setup.

A high-throughput screening protocol has been developed for Mycobacterium tuberculosis glutamine synthetase by quantitative estimation of inorganic phosphate. The K., values determined at pH 6.8 are 22 mM for L-glutamic acid, 0.75 mM for NH4Cl, 3.25 mM for MgCl2, and 2.5 mM for adenosine triphosphate. The K-m value for glutamine is affected significantly by the increase in pH of assay buffer. At the saturating level of the substrate, the enzyme activity at pH 6.8 and 25 degrees C is found to be linear up to 3 h. The reduction of enzyme activity is negligible even in presence of 10% DMSO. The Z' factor and signal-to-noise ratio are found to be 0.75 and 6.18, respectively, when the enzyme is used at 62.5 mu g/ml concentration. The IC50 values obtained at pH 6.8 for both L-methionine S-sulfoximine and DL-phosphothriacin are 500 mu M and 30 pM, respectively, which is lowest compared to the values obtained at other pH levels. The Beckman Coulter high-throughput screening platform was found to take 5 h 9 min to complete the screening of 60 plates. For each assay plate, a replica plate is used to normalize the data. Screening of 1164 natural product fractions/extracts and synthetic molecules from an in-house library was able to identify 12 samples as confirmed hits. Altogether, the validation data from screening of a small set of an in-house library coupled with Z' and signal-to-noise values indicate that the protocol is robust for high-throughput screening of a diverse chemical library.

We have synthesized a series of novel 11 alpha-triazoyl bile acid derivatives. In addition, we also have synthesized N-alkyl and N-acyl derivatives of C-11 amino bile acid esters. All the compounds were evaluated for the inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (MTB) at 30 mu g/mL level. Four lead compounds (2b, 3, 7 and 8) were further confirmed from their dose dependent effect against MTB. These compounds were found to be active against Dormant and active stage MTB under both in vitro as well as within THP1 host macrophages. The most promising compound 2b showed strong antitubercular activities against MTB under in vitro and ex vivo (IC90 value of similar to 3 mu g/mL) conditions and almost insignificant cytotoxicity up to 100 mu g/mL against THP-1, A549 and PANC-1 human cancer cell lines. Inactivity of all these compounds against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria indicates their specificity. Molecular docking studies of these compounds into the active site of DprE1 enzyme revealed a similar binding mode to native ligands in the crystal structure thereby helping to establish a structural basis of inhibition of MTB. The synthesized compounds were analyzed for ADME properties and showed potential to develop good oral drug candidates. Our results clearly indicate the identification of some novel, selective and specific inhibitors against MTB that can be explored further for potential antitubercular drug. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

We report design of a series of 2,4-diamino triazines as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors. The synthesized compounds were evaluated against Mtb (H(37)Rv and Dormant stage H37Ra), their cytotoxicity was assessed (HepG2 and A549 cell lines), and selectivity toward Mtb was evaluated by testing against other bacterial strains. Some derivatives showed promising activity along with low cytotoxicity. The most potent compound in the whole cell assay (MIC 0.325 mu M against H(37)Rv) showed selectivity in the enzyme assay and exhibited synergy with second line anti-TB agent p-amino salicylic acid. This study therefore provides promising molecules for further development as antituberculosis DHFR inhibitors.

The design, synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of a novel series of azaspiro analogues of linezolid (1) have been described. Linezolid comprises of a morpholine ring which is known for its metabolism related liabilities. Therefore, the key modification made in the linezolid structure was the replacement of morpholine moiety with its bioisostere, 2-oxa-6-azaspiro[3.3]heptane. Furthermore, the replacement of N-acetyl terminal of 1 with various aromatic or aliphatic functionalities was carried out. The title compounds were evaluated against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Subsequent structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies identified several compounds with mixed antibacterial and antitubercular profiles. Compound 22 (IC50 0.72, 0.51, 0.88, 0.49 mu g/mL for Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, respectively) exhibited similar antibacterial profile as I. The N-acetyl derivative 18 was similar to 1 in antitubercular profile. Thus, the present study successfully demonstrated the use of azaspiro substructure in the medicinal chemistry of antibacterial and antitubercular agents. (C) 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Herein, we report the synthesis of 2-aminothiophene-tethered ureidopenicillin analogues and their in vitro antibacterial and antitubercular activity. Intriguingly, unlike the reported ureidopenicillins which are active against gram-negative bacteria, the synthesised 2-aminothiophene-tethered ureidopenicillins were significantly active against Gram-positive bacterial strains and showed moderate inhibition towards gram-negative bacterial strains. Among all the analogs, compound 1b containing 2-aminothiophene moiety with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC): 0.29, 0.32, > 10, > 10 mg/ml for Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively, showed better anti-bacterial profile as compared to cephalexin and equipotent to ampicillin and amoxicillin on gram-positive bacterial strains. All the derivatives were also screened for anti-TB activity against mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra. Among the series, cycloocta-thiophene-tethered cephalexin analog 3c displayed excellent antitubercular activity with MIC values 0.78 mg/ml. Low cytotoxicity and high selectivity index indicate the efficacy of 3c against mycobacterial infections. The results from present study offer a novel approach to modify the existing drug class of ureidopenicillins to yield antimicrobials with promising utility.1 aWagh, Mahendra, A.1 aBaravkar, Sachin, B.1 aJedhe, Ganesh, S.1 aBorkute, Rachna1 aChoudhari, Amit, S.1 aSarkar, Dhiman1 aSanjayan, Gangadhar, J. uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/design-and-synthesis-2-amino-thiophene-tethered-ureidopenicillin-analogs-potentantibacterial02099nas a2200205 4500008004100000022001500041245009900056210006900155260000900224300001700233490000600250520137800256100002601634700002001660700001901680700002701699700001801726700002401744856012501768 2018 eng d a 2365-654900aDesign, synthesis and biological screening of novel 1,3,4-oxadiazoles as antitubercular agents0 aDesign synthesis and biological screening of novel 134oxadiazole c DEC a 13304-133100 v33 aA series of novel 2,5-disubstitued 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives bearing 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran scaffold has been synthesized and screened for antitubercular activity. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, H-1 NMR, C-13-NMR and Mass spectral study. The in vitro antitubercular activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra(ATCC 25177) strain. Among the synthesized compounds, four compound displayed good antitubercular activity IC50 values in low micro-gram range (<10 mu g/mL). The antitubercular data suggested that growth inhibition MTB can be imparted by the introduction of a 4- trifluoromethyl phenyl acetylene substituent. Specificity of these compounds was checked by screening them for their anti-bacterial activity against four bacterial strains (Gram-negative strains: E. coli, S. aureus; Gram-positive strains: P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis). None of the compound displayed antibacterial activity against any of the seleted strain. Molecular docking studies were carried out on InhA (FabI/ENR) which shows that the synthesized compounds bind at the catalytic site in a most favourable manner suggesting their potential as anti-mycobacterial agents.

Design, synthesis, and biological screening of 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran tethered 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as anti-tubercular agents were described. The synthesis of the target compounds was conducted by a series of reaction schemes. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, and mass spectrometry. The therapeutic potential of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by molecular docking studies. Among the synthesized compounds, 12a, 12c, 12d, 12e, 12g, and 12j were found to be more active against non-replicating than against replicating cultures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra ex vivo and in vitro. These compounds exhibit minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range of 2.31-23.91g/mL. The cytotoxicity study was conducted against the cell lines THP-1, A549 and PANC-1, and the compounds were observed to be non-toxic to host cells. Molecular docking was conducted with InhA (FabI/ENR) and suggested the antimycobacterial potential of the synthesized compounds. The investigation presented here was found to be adventitious for the development of new therapeutic agents against Mycobacterium infection.

These derivatives were first evaluated for their inhibitory effect on HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase (RT) enzyme activity. Out of 14 compounds, 4 showed potent inhibition of HIV-1 RT activity at significantly low concentration. Docking studies of these molecules revealed their high affinity binding to several amino acids of HIV-1 RT which are less sensitive to point mutations. Furthermore, anti-HIV activity of these molecules was analysed in a CD4(+) T cell-line, which indicates that Therapeutic Index (TI) of some of these compounds is better than Zidovudine and Efavirenz, known HIV-1 RT inhibitors.

The emergence of extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDRTB) and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has necessitated the development of new drugs with short chemotherapy treatment regime and cost effectiveness. To overcome these challenges, we are reporting the synthesis of a series of 2-amino-thiophene-proline-conjugates which show potent invino and ex-vivo anti-tubercular (anti-TB) activity against mycobacterium tuberculosis (rntb) H37Ra. The synthesis of these 2-amino-thiophene-proline-conjugates was carried out via solution phase peptide coupling reactions using methyl-2aminothiophene-3-carboxylate 8 as an intermediate obtained by modified gewald reaction. Intermediate 8 was coupled with different amino acids to obtain dipeptides 3, 4, 5, 6a and 7. Priliminary anti-TB assay data encoureaged us to synthesize modified proline derivatives 6b-6k via formation of a benzoxazinone intermediate 16. Most of these conjugates are active against mtb H37Ra in both active (A) and dormant (D) strains. They are also active against drug resistant mtb H37Ra strains. A trifluoroethyl ester analog, 6i was the most potent among the series [MIC 1 mu g/mL] along with 6f and 6g [MIC 2-6 mu g/mL]. Cytotoxicity studies suggested that, these compounds are less cytotoxic to human cell lines HeLa, MCF-7, HUVEC and hence possess high selectivity index (SI). Docking studies revealed that the binding mode of most active compounds 6i, 6g and 6f is in accordance with their bioactivity studies having docking score 8.969, 8.446 and 7.865, respectively. More- over, in sllico ADME properties suggest that all the compounds possess drug like properties.

Cinnamic acid and its derivatives are known for anti-tubercular activity. The present study reports the synthesis of cinnamic acid derivatives via bioisosteric replacement of terminal carboxylic acid with ``oxadiazole''. A series of cinnamic acid derivatives (styryl oxadiazoles) were designed and synthesized in good yields by reaction of substituted cinnamic acids (2, 15a-15s) with amidoximes. The synthesized styryl oxadiazoles were evaluated in vitro for anti-tubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) H37Ra strain. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) study has identified several compounds with mixed anti-tubercular profiles. The compound 32 displayed potent anti-tubercular activity (IC50= 0.045 mu g/mL). Molecular docking studies on mycobacterial enoyl-ACP reductase enzyme corroborated well with the experimental findings providing a platform for structure based hit-to-lead development.

A series of new benzimidazole incorporated 3,5-bis (arylidene)-4-piperidones were synthesized by using aryl aldehydes, piperidinone, 2-(chloromethyl)-benzimidazole and DBU acetate [DBUH][OAc] act as a catalyst under solvent free condition in excellent yields. The synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis H37Ra (MTB) and M. bovis BCG strains. The compounds 4a, 4b, 4e, 4i, 4k and 4l are highly potent against both the strains. Most of the active compounds are non-cytotoxic against MCF-7, A549, HCT 116 and THP-1 cell lines. Furthermore, a molecular docking study of these compounds was carried out to investigate their binding pattern with the target, active site of mycobacterial enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (Inh A). Therefore, these compounds can be subjected for further optimization and drug development which could give promising chemical leads for treatment of TB.

Herein, we identified a potent lead compound RRA2, within a series of 54 derivatives of 1,2,4-triazolethiols (exhibit good potency as an anti-mycobacterial agents) against intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Compound RRA2 showed significant mycobactericidal activity against active stage Mycobacterium bovis BCG and Mtb with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 2.3 and 2.0 mu g/mL, respectively. At MIC value, RRA2 compound yielded 0.82 log reduction of colony-forming unit (cfu) against non-replicating Mtb. Furthermore, RRA2 compound was selected for further target identification due to the presence of alkyne group, showing higher selectivity index (> 66.66 +/- 0.22, in non-replicating stage). Using ``click'' chemistry, we synthesized the biotin linker-RRA2 conjugate, purified with HPLC method and confirmed the conjugation of biotin linker-RRA2 complex by HR-MS analysis. Furthermore, we successfully pulled down and identified a specific target protein GroEl2, from Mtb whole-cell extract. Furthermore, computational molecular modeling indicated RRA2 could interact with GroEl2, which explains the structure-activity relationship observed in this study.

The chemotherapeutic potential of ruthenium(ii) complexes has recently attracted researchers' interest as antibacterial and anticancer agents. In this study, two novel half-sandwich imine-based Ru complexes ([Ru(p-cymene)Cl(L-1)][PF6] (Ru-1) and [Ru(p-cymene)Cl(L-2)][PF6] (Ru-2)) were reported for their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) binding and antitubercular, antibacterial, and anticancer activities. The molecular structure of Ru-2 was obtained by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. DNA interaction studies were conducted by UV-Vis absorbance and fluorescence spectral titration which gave rise to DNA binding constants (K-b) of 1.32 x 10(6) and 1.82 x 10(6) for Ru-1 and Ru-2, respectively and the Stern-Volmer binding constant (K-SV) values for Ru-1 and Ru-2 were 1.7763 x 10(4) M-1 and 7.6 x 10(3) M-1, respectively. The in vitro antitubercular activity was evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra. The antibacterial potential of both the Ru-complexes was examined against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) bacteria. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values for the antitubercular activity of Ru-1 and Ru-2 were 4.87 +/- 1.32 mu M and 5.78 +/- 0.54 mu M, respectively. A cytotoxic study of these complexes was performed against the human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and the human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK293) (normal cells). The study revealed meaningful activity of the Ru-1 complex against (cancer) MCF-7 cells, while the viability of HEK293 (normal) cells in the presence of Ru-2 was higher as compared to a reference drug 5FU. We suggest that these kinds of Ru-complexes could have potential for application in metallopharmaceuticals.

Misfolding , protein aggregation have been linked to numerous human neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's, prion , Parkinson's diseases. Ruthenium (Ru) complexes have received considerable attention in studying protein aggregation due to their interesting photophysical and photo properties. In this study, we have synthesized the novel Ru complexes ([Ru(p-cymene)Cl(L-1)][PF6](Ru-1), and [Ru(p-cymene)Cl(L-2)][PF6](Ru-2)) and investigated their inhibitory activity against the bovine serum albumin (BSA) aggregation and the A beta 1-42 peptides amyloid formation. Several spectroscopic methods were used to characterize these complexes, and the molecular structure of the complex was determined by X-ray crystallography. Amyloid aggregation and inhi-bition activities were examined using the Thioflavin-T (ThT) assay, and the secondary structures of the protein were analyzed by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The cell viability assay was carried out on the neuroblastoma cell line, revealing that the complex Ru-2 showed better protective effects against A beta 1-42 peptide toxicity on neuro-2a cells than the complex Ru-1. Molecular docking studies elucidate the binding sites and interactions between the Ru-complexes and A beta 1-42 peptides. The exper-imental studies revealed that these complexes significantly inhibited the BSA aggregation and A beta 1-42 amyloid fibril formation at 1:3 and 1:1 molar concentrations, respectively. Antioxidant assays demonstrated that these complexes act as antioxidants, protecting from amyloid-induced oxidative stress. Molecular docking studies with the monomeric A beta 1-42 (PDB: 1IYT) show hydrophobic interaction, and both complexes bind preferably in the central region of the peptide and coordinate with two binding sites of the peptide. Hence, we suggest that the Ru-based complexes could be applied as a potential agent in metallopharmaceutical research against Alzheimer's disease.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the devasting infectious diseases and continues to spread among people despite having several specific drugs. Total eradication of TB is one of the shared interests of both the World Health Organization (WHO) and India globally. A library of antitubercular 6-((1-(aryl/heteroaryl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)oxireno[2,3-b] phenanthridine-5,7,9(6H,7aH,8aH)-trione (6 a-e) has been prepared in five steps including click chemistry and tested against active and dormant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra using XRMA protocol. The result showed the inhibitory potential of 6 d IC50 at 0.74 & mu;g/mL concentration against active strain and at 0.9 & mu;g/mL against the dormant strain of Mtb. ROS generating ability of the compounds has been confirmed by luminol, H2O2, and glutathione assays. The molecular docking with the thioredoxin protein of Mtb showed a docking score of -9.6 Kcal/mol. To understand the mechanism with the thioredoxin protein of Mtb, the adduct formation of compounds with cystine was confirmed with HPLC. The involvement of lead molecules with existing drugs can be helpful in the eradication of tuberculosis.

Here, we report the solvent-free one-pot multicomponent synthesis of 4-substituted-1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives from O-phenylenediamine, aromatic aldehydes, and dimedone using [DBUH][HSO4] as a catalyst in excellent yields. This process was carried out in search of a reusable, easily accessible, affordable, and efficient catalyst. 1,5-Benzodiazepines demonstrate a new family of good inhibitors with potent anti-mycobacterial properties. The most promising compounds in the present series are 4c, 4i, and 4l which showed excellent activity and inhibited the growth of both MTB H37Ra and M. bovis BCG strains with lower MICs. The most active compounds were further studied for their cytotoxicity against cell lines MCF-7, A549, HCT116, and THP-1 by MTT assays and the compounds were found to be non-toxic. The fact that none of these compounds work against either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria suggests that they are only effective against MTB. The in silico docking of the molecules against mycobacterial enoyl reductase, InhA enzyme could provide well-clustered solutions and have given valuable insights into the thermodynamic elements governing the binding affinities. The findings of this investigation unmistakably point to the discovery of extremely specific and selective MTB inhibitors, which can now be investigated further in search of possible anti-tubercular drugs.
