Substituted sulfonamide bioisosteres of 8-hydroxyquinoline as zinc-dependent antibacterial compounds
《Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters》2020,30(11):127110
A series of substituted sulfonamide bioisosteres of 8-hydroxyquinoline were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against the common mastitis causative pathogens Streptococcus uberis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, both in the presence and absence of supplementary zinc. Compounds 9a-e, 10a-c, 11a-e, 12 and 13 were demonstrated to have MICs of 0.0625 µg/mL against S. uberis in the presence of 50 µM ZnSO4. Against S. aureus compounds 9g (MIC 4 µg/mL) and 11d (MIC 8 µg/mL) showed the greatest activity, whereas all compounds were found to be inactive against E. coli (MIC > 256 µg/mL); again in the presence of 50 µM ZnSO4. All compounds were demonstrated to be significantly less active in the absence of supplementary zinc. Compound 9g was subsequently confirmed to be bactericidal, with an MBC (≥3log10 cfu/mL reduction) of 0.125 µg/mL against S. uberis in the presence of 50 µM ZnSO4. To validate the sanitising activity of compound 9g in the presence of supplementary zinc, a quantitative suspension disinfection (sanitizer) test was performed. In this preliminary test, sanitizing activity (>5log10 reduction of CFU/mL in 5 min) was observed against S. uberis for compound 9g at concentrations as low as 1 mg/mL, validating the potential of this compound to function as a topical sanitizer against the major environmental mastitis-causing microorganism S. uberis. 相似文献

We present here the isolation and structural characterization of two undescribed mono-glycosylated triterpenes with a 19-hydroxy-29-norlanostane core. These compounds (1-2) were isolated from an ethanolic extract of the dried flowers of Cordia lutea, a widely used Peruvian traditional medicine. Their structures were determined by examination of their NMR and MS data. For compound 1, its structure was confirmed by single crystal X-ray structural analyses. 1 showed moderate activity against Helicobacter pylori (MIC = 15.6 µg/mL), and was not active against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Staphylococcus aureus (MIC > 125 µg/mL). 相似文献

Larrea tridentata antibacterial lignan 4,4′-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-6,7′-cyclolignan (1) was derivatized to obtain eleven new amino ether derivatives (2 A-12 C). The structural elucidation of compounds was performed by analysis of 1D- and 2D NMR spectral data and HRESIMS. The antibacterial activity of compounds was determined against nine drug-resistant bacteria and two strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (sensitive ATCC 27294 H37Rv and drug-resistant G122). Results showed that all derivatives were devoid of activity towards six gram-negative clinical isolates assayed. However, seven derivatives displayed antibacterial activity against three gram-positive drug-resistant bacteria. Further, enhancement of antibacterial activity was only observed for the compounds 2 A and 10 C-12 C (MIC of 12.5 µg/mL) which were two-fold more active than the starting material 1 against vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. All derivatives, except compound 9 B, showed antitubercular activity against both M. tuberculosis strains. Interestingly, all the compounds, except for 2 A and 11 A, were more active than the starting material 1 (MIC of 50 µg/mL). Compound 4 C was the only compound as active as the positive control ethambutol against the drug-resistant strain M. tuberculosis G122 (MIC of 6.25 µg/mL). In addition, the derivative 7 C was the most active compound against the sensitive strain M. tuberculosis H37Rv (MIC of 6.25 µg/mL) 相似文献

The development and world-wide spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria have a high concern in the medicine, especially the extended-spectrum of beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). There are currently very limited effective antibiotics to treat infections caused by MDR bacteria. Peat-soil is a unique environment in which bacteria have to compete each other to survive, for instance, by producing antimicrobial substances. This study aimed to isolate bacteria from peat soils from South Kalimantan Indonesia, which capable of inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Isolates from peat soil were grown and identified phenotypically. The cell-free supernatant was obtained from broth culture by centrifugation and was tested by agar well-diffusion technique against non ESBL-producing E. coli ATCC 25922, ESBL-producing E. coli ATCC 35218, methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) ATCC 29,213 and MRSA ATCC 43300. Putative antimicrobial compounds were separated using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and purified using electroelution method. Antimicrobial properties of the purified compounds were confirmed by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). In total 28 isolated colonies were recovered; three (25PS, 26PS, and 27PS) isolates produced proteins with strong antimicrobial activities against both reference strains. The substance of proteins from three isolates exerted strong antimicrobial activity against ESBL-producing E. coli ATCC 35,218 (MIC = 2,80 µg/mL (25PS), 3,76 µg/mL (26PS), and 2,41 µg/mL (27PS), and MRSA ATCC 43,300 (MIC = 4,20 µg/mL (25PS), 5,65 µg/mL (26PS), and 3,62 µg/mL (27PS), and also had the ability bactericidal properties against the reference strains. There were isolates from Indonesian peat which were potentials sources of new antimicrobials. 相似文献

The genus Ludwigia belongs to the Onagraceae family and it encompasses seventy-five species of aquatic plants. The chemistry of this genus is scarcely investigated, although some studies have demonstrated the potential of Ludwigia leptocarpa to produce important bioactive compounds. Herein, we describe the phytochemical investigation of Ludwigia abyssinica A. Rich. Two new steroids named 3β-formyloxy-5α,6α-dihydroxysitostane (Ludwigiaformyl A, 1) and 3β,6α-diformyloxy-5α-hydroxysitostane (Ludwigiaformyl B, 2), along with six known compounds, 3β-formyloxysitost-5-en (3), 5α,6β-dihydroxysitosterol (4), maslinic acid (5), oleanolic acid (6) and a mixture of two iridoids: linearin (7) and 1-epilinearin (8) were obtained from whole plant of L. abyssinica. The structures of the isolated compounds were established by extensive analysis of their spectroscopic and spectrometric data, which included HR-TOF-ESIMS, 1D NMR (1H, 13C) and 2D NMR (1H–1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC and ROESY) and by comparison with data reported in the literature. The antimicrobial activities of extracts, fractions, and new compounds (1) and (2) were evaluated using broth microdilution method against fungi and bacteria strains. The MeOH extract and the ethyl acetate fraction displayed different degrees of antibacterial and antifungal activities (MIC = 32 – 512 µg/mL; MMC = 64 – 512 µg/mL) whereas compounds 1 and 2 showed moderate antimicrobial activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Shigella flexneri and Cryptococcus neoformans (MIC = 8 – 32 µg/mL; MMC = 8 – 64 µg/mL). 相似文献

Twenty-one novel alkyl/acyl/sulfonyl substituted fluoroquinolone derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-tuberculosis and antibacterial activity. The targeted compounds were synthesized by the introduction of alkyl, acyl or sulfonyl moieties to the basic secondary amine moiety of moxifloxacin. Structures of the compounds were enlightened by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS data besides elemental analysis. Compounds were initially tested in vitro for their anti-mycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv using microplate alamar blue assay. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of all compounds were found between > 25.00–0.39 µg/mL while compounds 1, 2 and 13 revealed an outstanding activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv with MIC values of 0.39 µg/mL. Activities of compounds 1–21 against to a number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fast growing mycobacterium strain were also investigated by agar well diffusion and microdilution methods. According to antimicrobial activity results, compound 13 was found the most potent derivative with a IC50 value of <1.23 μg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and clinical strain of methicillin-resistant clinical strain of S. aureus. 相似文献

Xanthones C-glycosides are plants secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities. Among the C-glycoside xanthones, the mangiferin (MF) is of widespread occurrence in plants while isomangiferin (IsoMF) is not very common. For the present study mangiferin (MF) and isomangiferin (IsoMF) were isolated from Dryopteris ramosa. The antibacterial potential of MF and IsoMF was evaluated by using agar well diffusion method while cytotoxic properties of MF and IsoMF were assessed by brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT). The antibacterial potential of MF and IsoMF increases in dose dependent manner. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) indicated strong antibacterial potential of MF against Salmonella setubal (125 µg/mL) and Bacillus subtilis (125 µg/mL) while MF showed weak antibacterial potential against Escherichia coli (500 µg/mL). On the other hand the IsoMF showed better antibacterial potential against all the tested strain including Escherichia coli (MIC = 250 µg/mL). The MF and IsoMF showed poor cytotoxicity towards Brine shrimp nauplii as indicated by their LD50 (969.77 ± 0.67 and 768.92 ± 0.81 µg/mL respectively). The present study has highlighted the antibacterial potential of MF and IsoMF. Further evaluation of these two isomeric compounds may prove to be the future remedies for various bacterial infections and other human ailments. 相似文献

Ten anthranilic amides bearing skeletons of chiral thioether and trifluoromethylpyridine (5a-5j) were designed and synthesized. Bioassays indicated that some of compounds had excellent insecticidal activity. For example, compounds 5a, 5e and 5g had the median lethal concentrations (LC50) against Plutella xylostella of 7.3, 8.7 and 8.1 µg/mL respectively. The LC50 of 5a against Ostrinia nubilalis and Pseudaletia separata were 21.7 and 44.2 µg/mL respectively. Anti-TMV tests indicated that some compounds also showed good antiviral activity. For instance, the curative activities of compounds 5b and 5e were 57.2% and 63.6%, and with half maximal effective concentration (EC50) of 304.5 and 203.0 µg/mL, respectively, which were much higher than these of ribavirin (39.4%, EC50 = 819.8 µg/mL) and ningnanmycin (56.2%, EC50 = 361.4 µg/mL). The molecular docking between the most active compounds and ryanodine receptor of the Plutella xylostella were also discussed. Those results indicated that the novel anthranilic amide derivatives in present work were worthy of further research and development as novel pesticides. 相似文献

Propolis is rich in diverse bioactive compounds. Propolis samples were collected from three localities of Cameroon and used in the study. Column chromatography separation of propolis MeOH:DCM (50:50) extracts yielded a new isoflavonol, 2-hydroxy-8-prenylbiochanin A (1) alongside 2′,3′-dihydroxypropyltetraeicosanoate (2) and triacontyl p-coumarate (3) isolated from propolis for first time together with seven compounds: β-amyrine (4), oleanolic acid (5), β-amyrine acetate (6), lupeol (7), betulinic acid (8), lupeol acetate (9) and lupenone (10). These compounds were tested for their inhibitory effect on oxidative burst where intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were produced from zymosan stimulated human whole blood phagocytes and on production of nitric oxide (NO) from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated J774.2 mouse macrophages. The cytotoxicity of these compounds was evaluated on NIH-3 T3 normal mouse fibroblast cells, antiradical potential on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazylhydrazyl (DPPH·) as well as their anti-yeast potential on four selected candida species. Compound 1 showed higher NO inhibition (IC50 = 23.3 ± 0.3 µg/mL) than standard compound L-NMMA (IC50 = 24.2 ± 0.8 µg/mL). Higher ROS inhibition was shown by compounds 6 (IC50 = 4.3 ± 0.3 µg/mL) and 9 (IC50 = 1.1 ± 0.1 µg/mL) than Ibuprofen (IC50 = 11.2 ± 1.9 µg/mL). Furthermore, compound 1 displayed moderate level of cytotoxicity on NIH-3 T3 cells, with IC50 = 5.8 ± 0.3 µg/mL compared to the cyclohexamide IC50 = 0.13 ± 0.02 µg/mL. Compound 3 showed lower antifungal activity on Candida krusei and Candida glabrata, MIC of 125 μg/mL on each strain compared to 50 μg/mL for fuconazole. The extracts showed low antifungal activities ranging from 250 to 500 μg/mL on C. albicans, C. krusei and C. glabrata and the values of MIC on Candida parapsilosis were 500 μg/mL and above. DPPH* scavenging activity was exhibited by compounds 1 (IC50 = 15.653 ± 0.335 μg/mL) and 3 (IC50 = 89.077 ± 24.875 μg/mL) compared to Vitamin C (IC50 = 3.343 ± 0.271 μg/mL) while extracts showed moderate antiradical activities with IC50 values ranging from 309.31 ± 2.465 to 635.52 ± 11.05 µg/mL. These results indicate that compounds 1, 6 and 9 are potent anti-inflammatory drug candidates while 1 and 3 could be potent antioxidant drugs. 相似文献

Three novel series of dihydrotriazine derivatives bearing 1,3-diaryl pyrazole moieties were designed, synthesized and evaluated in terms of their antibacterial and antifungal activities. Most of the synthesized compounds showed potent inhibition of several Gram-positive bacterial strains (including multidrug-resistant clinical isolates) and Gram-negative bacterial strains with minimum inhibitory concentration values in the range of 1–64?µg/mL. Compounds 4b and 4c presented the most potent inhibitory activity against Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus 4220, MRSA 3167, QRSA 3519) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli 1924), with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 1 or 2?µg/mL. Compared with previous studies, these compounds exhibited a broad spectrum of inhibitory activity. The cytotoxic activity of the compounds 4a, 4b, 4c and 11n were assessed in L02 cells. In vitro enzyme study implied that compound 4c exerted its antibacterial activity through DHFR inhibition. 相似文献

This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of 61 plant extracts from 49 Malaysian ethnomedicinal plants and to investigate the interaction of the active plant extracts in combination with synthetic antibiotics against the MSSA and MRSA strains. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the plant extracts were determined using a microdilution method against MSSA and MRSA strains. The interaction between active plant extracts and the antibiotics was assessed using the checkerboard method. The total fractional inhibitory concentration (∑FIC) indices from the combination were calculated to determine the nature of the interaction. Out of the 61 plant extracts tested against the MSSA strain, 7 plant extracts (̴ 11%) showed MIC values of less than 200 μg/mL, 17 extracts (̴ 28%) showed MIC between 200 and 800 µg/mL and seed extracts of Areca catechu showed MBC values of 400 μg/mL. The seed extract of A. catechu showed MIC and MBC of 400 μg/mL against the MRSA strains while leaf extract of Cocos nucifera showed MIC of 400 μg/mL against MRSA NCTC 12493. When the active plant extracts (MIC ≤ 200 µg/mL for MSSA, and ≤ 400 µg/mL for MRSA) were tested in combination with vancomycin and ciprofloxacin, they showed no interaction against both MSSA and MRSA with ∑FIC between 1.06 and 2.03. These findings provide a preliminary overview of the anti-MSSA and anti-MRSA properties of Malaysian ethnobotanical plants to combat Staphylococcal infections. Further research is needed to establish an antibacterial profile of the tested plant extracts. 相似文献

Phytochemical investigation of the roots of Desmodium salicifolium led to the isolation of two new compounds (Desmoflavanone A: 5,2',4'-trihydroxy-4'',4''-dimethyl-2H-dihydropyranoisoflavanone (1) and desmodioside A: (22R)-3β,22,23-trihydroxyolean-12-en-3-O-α- L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucuronopyranoside (2)) together with nine known secondary metabolites including kaikasaponin III (3), spinosin (4), isovitexin (5), β-sitosterol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), neorautenol (7), kaempferol (8), oleanolic acid (9), betulinic acid (10), and lupeol (11). The structures of these compounds were elucidated mainly by extensive spectroscopic analysis, particularly 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry and by comparison of their spectroscopic data with those of related compounds reported in the literature. The methanolic extract, EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions as well as some isolated compounds were assessed for their antifungal activities against two fungi using microdilution method. The methanolic extract displayed weak activity against Candida albicans (MIC = 512 µg/mL). The EtOAc fraction also exhibited weak inhibitory effect with MIC of 256 µg/mL against Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. Compound 3 showed moderate effect against Candida glabrata with MIC value of 16 µg/mL while 1 was inactive against both fungi. 相似文献

The inhibition of the UDP-3-O-[(R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl]-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase (LpxC) represents a promising strategy to combat infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. In order to elucidate the functional groups being important for the inhibition of LpxC, the structure of our previously reported hydroxamic acid 4 should be systematically varied. Therefore, a series of benzyloxyacetohydroxamic acids was prepared, of which the diphenylacetylene derivatives 28 (Ki = 95 nM) and 21 (Ki = 66 nM) were the most potent inhibitors of Escherichia coli LpxC. These compounds could be synthesized in a stereoselective manner employing a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and a Sonogashira coupling in the key steps. The obtained structure–activity relationships could be rationalized by molecular docking studies. 相似文献

A series of novel 11-O-carbamoyl-3-O-descladinosyl clarithromycin derivatives bearing the 1,2,3-triazole group were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity. The antibacterial results indicated that most of the target compounds not only increased their activity against resistant bacterial strains, but also partially retained the activity against sensitive bacterial strains compared with clarithromycin. Among them, 13d had the best antibacterial activity against resistant strains, including Streptococcus pneumoniae B1 expressing the ermB gene (16 µg/mL), Streptococcus pneumoniae AB11 expressing the mefA and ermB genes (16 µg/mL) and Streptococcus pyogenes R1 (16 µg/mL), showing >16, 8 and 16-fold higher activity than that of CAM, respectively. Moreover, 13d and 13g exhibited the best antibacterial activity against sensitive bacterial strains, including Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 (4 µg/mL) and Bacillus Subtilis ATCC9372 (1 µg/mL). The MBC results showed that the most promising compounds 13d and 13g exhibited antibacterial activity through bacteriostatic mechanism, while the time-kill kinetic experiment revealed bactericidal kinetics of 13g from microscopic point of view. In vitro antibacterial experiments and molecular docking results further confirmed that it was feasible to our initial design strategy by modifying the C-3 and C-11 positions of clarithromycin to increase the activity against resistant bacteria. 相似文献

A novel series of polyhalobenzonitrile quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives were synthesized and characterized by NMR, IR, MS, and HRMS spectra. All of the newly prepared compounds were screened for antimicrobial activities against four strains of bacteria (Gram-positive bacterial: Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus; Gram-negative bacterial: Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and one strain of fungi (Candida albicans). Among the synthesized compounds, 5-(dimethylamino)-8-(2,4,5-trichloro-isophthalonitrile) quinazolin-4(3H)-one (7k) exhibited significant activity towards Gram-positive bacterial, Gram-negative bacterial, and the fungi strains. The MIC (0.8–3.3 μg/mL) and MBC (2.6–7.8 μg/mL) for this compound were close to those of nofloxacin, chlorothalonil, and fluconazole, making it the most potent antimicrobial agents in the series. 相似文献

A series of polyhalo isophthalonitrile derivatives (3 and 4) that incorporate a variety of substituents at the 2-, 4-, 5- and/or 6-positions of the isophthalonitrile moieties have been designed and synthesized. These derivatives were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus (Gram-positive bacteria), Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative bacteria); and Candida albicans (Fungi). Compounds 3 and 4 showed stronger inhibition of Gram-positive bacteria and fungi growth, and the antimicrobial ability of compound 3j (a 4-(benzylamino)-5-chloro-2,6-difluoro analog, MIC[SA] = 0.5 μg/mL; MIC[BC] = 0.4 μg/mL; MIC[CA] = 0.5 μg/mL) were close to nofloxacin and fluconazole and identified as the most potent antimicrobial agents in the series. The preliminary analysis of structure–activity relationships is also discussed. 相似文献

The synthesis of 19 compounds derived from l-serine and analogs of p-substituted cinnamic acid is reported. Oxazolines 9 and oxazoles 10 have high antitubercular activity with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 0.7812–25.0 µg/mL (3.21–100.3 µM), against two strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensitive to first-line drugs Isoniazid (INH), Rifampicin (RIF), Ethambutol (EMB), Pyrazinamide (PZE) (H37Rv) and a clinical isolate resistant to INH, RIF and EMB (G122). The cytotoxic evaluation shows that oxazoles have low activity, finding viability>96% against the VERO cell line. The results show these compounds could be considered as future alternatives for antitubercular treatment. 相似文献

Three series of rhodanine derivatives bearing a quinoline moiety (6a–h, 7a–g, and 8a–e) have been synthesized, characterized, and evaluated as antibacterial agents. The majority of these compounds showed potent antibacterial activities against several different strains of Gram-positive bacteria, including multidrug-resistant clinical isolates. Of the compounds tested, 6g and 8c were identified as the most effective with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 1 μg/mL against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive organisms, including methicillin-resistant and quinolone-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA and QRSA, respectively). None of the compounds exhibited any activity against the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli 1356 at 64 μg/mL. The cytotoxic activity assay showed that compounds 6g, 7g and 8e exhibited in vitro antibacterial activity at non-cytotoxic concentrations. Thus, these studies suggest that rhodanine derivatives bearing a quinoline moiety are interesting scaffolds for the development of novel Gram-positive antibacterial agents. 相似文献

Zanthoxylum lemairei is widely used in African folk medicine for its pharmacological relevance. Chemical investigation of the ethanol extract from the leaves of this plant lead to the isolation of two new tetraflavonoids, lemairones A (1) and B (2), along with three known compounds, lupeol, sitosterol, and sitosterol 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside. The antibacterial screening of the leaves of this plant, characterization of compounds 1 and 2, and their antibacterial activity are reported for the first time. The isolation of the compounds was performed using different chromatographic methods while their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques including MS and NMR, and by comparison of data with those of similar flavonoids reported in the literature. The isolated compounds and the crude extract were tested against ten Gram negative multi-resistance bacterial strains including clinical isolates using a broth dilution method. The crude ethanol extract showed weak activity against the tested bacteria strains with a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 512 to 1024 μg/mL. Among the isolated metabolites, only the new tetraflavonoids were tested. Lemairone A displayed weak activity while lemairone B had moderate activity against the resistant Escherichia coli AG100 with MIC values of 128 μg/mL and 64 μg/mL respectively. In addition, both molecules displayed weak activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae KP55 (MIC 128 μg/mL). 相似文献
