Abstract: | In order to obtain PDHc-E1 inhibitors with high selectivity and efficacy, four series (7, 12, 15, and 19) of 35 novel 4-aminopyrimidine derivatives were rationally designed and synthesized based on the binding site of ThDP in E. coli PDHc-E1. 12, 15, and 19 were confirmed to be potent inhibitors against E. coli PDHc-E1. Selected compounds 12g, 12i, 15f, and 19a showed negligible inhibition against porcine PDHc-E1. To understand their selectivity, the interaction of inhibitor and E. coli PDHc-E1 or porcine PDHc-E1 was studied by molecular docking. The newly introduced acylhydrazone and N-phenylbenzamide moieties could form stronger interaction by hydrogen bond at the active site of E. coli PDHc-E1 compared with that of porcine PDHc-E1. A part of title compounds as potent PDHc-E1 inhibitors also exhibited notable antibacterial activity. In particular, 12e, 12f, 12g, 12o, and 19a exhibited 72–92% inhibition against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae and Ralstonia solanacearum at 100?μg/mL, which was better than thiodiazole-copper (34 and 29%, respectively) and bismerthiazol (56 and 55%, respectively). The results proved that we could obtain effective bactericidal compounds as highly selective PDHc inhibitors by rational molecular design utilizing the binding model of active site of E. coli PDHc-E1. |
