Because the purification of large quantities of native RNA polymerase from pathogenic mycobacteria is hazardous and cumbersome, the primary screening was carried out using Escherichia coli RNAP. The authors have developed a high-throughput screening (HTS) assay to screen for novel inhibitors of RNAP. In this assay, a fluorescent analog of UTP, gamma-amino naphthalene sulfonic acid (gamma-AmNS) UTP, was used as one of the nucleotide substrates. Incorporation of UMP in RNA results in the release of gamma-AmNS-PPi, which has higher intrinsic fluorescence than (gamma-AmNS) UTP. The assay was optimized in a 384-well format and used to screen 670,000 compounds at a concentration of 10 mu M. About 0.1% of the compounds showed more than 60% inhibition in the primary HTS. All the primary actives tested for dose response using the same assay had an EC50 below 100 mu M. Eighty percent of the primary HTS actives obtained using E. coli RNAP showed comparable activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis RNAP in the conventional radioactive assay. Activity of hits selected for the hit-to-lead optimization was also confirmed against Mycobacterium bovis RNAP which has &amp;gt; 99% sequence identity with Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNAP subunits.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;2.218&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mulla, Shafeek Abdul Rashid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pathan, Mohsinkhan Y.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chavan, Santosh S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gample, Suvarna P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sarkar, Dhiman</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Highly efficient one-pot multi-component synthesis of alpha-aminophosphonates and bis-alpha-aminophosphonates catalyzed by heterogeneous reusable silica supported dodecatungstophosphoric acid (DTP/SiO2) at ambient temperature and their antitubercular eval</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RSC Advances</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7666-7672</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A highly efficient one-pot multi-component reaction (MCR) protocol over DTP/SiO2 has been developed for the synthesis of alpha-aminophosphonate derivatives (4a-x) in excellent yields.

Structural modifications of compound 15 were carried out to study the structure-activity relationship and it was observed that compound 18 exhibited antitubercular activity comparable to compound 15. Cytotoxicity studies revealed that these molecules were non-toxic. The docking study of compound 15 showed that there was binding with the active site of mycobacterial pantothenate synthetase. Further docking studies led to the synthesis of the compounds 16 and 17 and the antitubercular activity screening results showed that these compounds have significant antitubercular activity. The compounds 15-18 (MIC 11–29 μg/ml, 19–51 μM) can be used as starting points for further optimization. The synthetic strategies used in the present work have potential to prepare a large number of compounds for further refinement of structures and the present results will be very useful in the development of a new class of antimycobacterial agents.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.902</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yeware, Amar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agrawal, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sarkar, Dhiman</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">High content screening assay for identifying inhibitors against active and dormant state intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Microbiological Methods</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SEP</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">164</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The antitubercular drug development pipeline could start with an in vitro investigation of several compounds to examine their effect on active and dormant state Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). However, in vitro screening of dormant state bacilli cannot provide enough information on the simultaneous effect of a compound on the host. Therefore, we developed a live cell fluorescence based screening protocol by utilizing the high content system for determining the effect of inhibitors against active and dormant state intracellular mycobacteria. THP-1 macrophages infected with an actively growing and hypoxia derived dormant Mtb culture were standardized to develop the screening protocol. The signal to noise ratio and the Z' factor of this assay were found to be 7.5-29 and 0.6-0.8, respectively, which confirm the robustness of the protocol. The protocol was then validated with standard inhibitors. This newly developed drug screening assay offers an easy, safe, image based high content screening tool to search for novel antitubercular inhibitors against both active and dormant state intracellular mycobacteria. Therefore, this assay could fill in the gap between in vitro and in vivo latent tuberculosis drug screening programs.&lt;/p&gt;
