The pantothenate biosynthetic pathway is essential for the persistent growth and virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and one of the enzymes in the pathway, pantothenate synthetase (PS, EC: 6.3.2.1), encoded by the panC gene, has become an appropriate target for new therapeutics to treat tuberculosis. Herein, we report nanomolar thiazolidine inhibitors of Mtb PS developed by a rational inhibitor design approach. The thiazolidine compounds were discovered by using energy-based pharmacophore modelling and subsequent in vitro screening, which resulted in compounds with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of (1.12±0.12) μM. These compounds were subsequently optimised by a combination of modelling and synthetic chemistry. Hit expansion of the lead by chemical synthesis led to an improved inhibitor with an IC50 value of 350 nM and an Mtb minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1.55 μM. Some of these compounds also showed good activity against dormant Mtb cells.

Background: Infectious diseases symbolize a global consequential strain on public health security and impact on the socio-economic stability all over the world. The increasing resistance to the current antimicrobial treatment has resulted in crucial need for the discovery and development of novel entity for the infectious treatment with different modes of action that could target both sensitive and resistant strains. Methods: Compounds were synthesized using classical methods of organic synthesis. Results: All 20 synthesized compounds showed antibacterial activity against eight Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species. It should be mentioned that all compounds exhibited better antibacterial potency than ampicillin against all bacteria tested. Furthermore, 18 compounds appeared to be more potent than streptomycin against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli. Three the most active compounds 4h, 5b, and 5g appeared to be more potent against MRSA than ampicillin, while streptomycin did not show any bactericidal activity. All three compounds displayed better activity also against resistant strains P. aeruginosa and E. coli than ampicillin. Furthermore, all compounds were able to inhibit biofilm formation 2- to 4-times more than both reference drugs. Compounds were evaluated also for their antifungal activity against eight species. The evaluation revealed that all compounds exhibited antifungal activity better than the reference drugs bifonazole and ketoconazole. Molecular docking studies on antibacterial and antifungal targets were performed in order to elucidate the mechanism of antibacterial activity of synthesized compounds. Conclusion: All tested compounds showed good antibacterial and antifungal activity better than that of reference drugs and three the most active compounds could consider as lead compounds for the development of new more potent agents.

A series of rhodanine 3-carboxyalkanoic acid derivatives possessing 4′-(N,N-dialkyl-amino or diphenylamino)-benzylidene moiety as a substituent at the C-5 position were synthesised and their antibacterial activity was screened. All the rhodanine derivatives showed bacteriostatic or bactericidal activity to the reference gram-positive bacterial strains, but lack of activity to the reference Gram-negative bacterial strains and yeast strains was observed.
