A series of novel thiouracil derivatives 9 containing an oxadiazole moiety have been synthesized by structural modification of a lead SecA inhibitor, 2. These compounds have been evaluated for their antibacterial activities against Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. Among them, compounds 9g and 9n exhibited promising antibacterial activities against the tested strains. Compound 9g was also tested for its inhibitory activities against SecA ATPase, and the IC50 value of compound 9g was 19.9 μg/mL, lower than that of compound 2 (20.8 μg/mL). Molecular docking work indicates that compound 9g likely occupies the pocket formed by SecA IRA2 and NBD domain.

Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of healthcare-associated infection in the U.S. and considered an urgent threat by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Only two antibiotics, vancomycin and fidaxomicin, are FDA-approved for the treatment of C. difficile infection (CDI), but these therapies still suffer from high treatment failure and recurrence. Therefore, new chemical entities to treat CDI are needed. Trifluoromethylthio-containing N-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)benzamides displayed very potent activities [sub-μg/mL minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values] against Gram-positive bacteria. Here, we report remarkable antibacterial activity enhancement via halogen substitutions, which afforded new anti-C. difficile agents with ultrapotent activities [MICs as low as 0.003 μg/mL (0.007 μM)] that surpassed the activity of vancomycin against C. difficile clinical isolates. The most promising compound in the series, HSGN-218, is nontoxic to mammalian colon cells and is gut-restrictive. In addition, HSGN-218 protected mice from CDI recurrence. Not only does this work provide a potential clinical lead for the development of C. difficile therapeutics but also highlights dramatic drug potency enhancement via halogen substitution.

A ultrasound-assisted oxidative cyclization of semicarbazones using N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of sodium acetate was established providing efficient and rapid access to a variety of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. Moreover, the new synthetic protocol provides a simple procedure utilizing a safer oxidizing system that affords the target products in high regioselectivity, satisfactory yields, and elevated purities.
