A series of novel diamidines with N-substituents on an amidine N-atom were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity and in vitro antibacterial activity against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Based on structure-activity relationship, N-substituents with a branched chain and a shorter carbon chain on the amidine N-atom exhibited more promising activity against Gram-negative and MDR-Gram-positive bacteria; compounds 5c and 5i were the most powerful candidate compounds. Compound 5c showed greater efficacy than levofloxacin against most drug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria and exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, with MIC values in the range of 2–16 μg/mL. Slightly more potent antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Enterobacter cloacae, and Proteus mirabilis was observed for 5i in comparison with 5c. Compound 5i also showed remarkable antibacterial activity against NDM-1-producing Gram-negative bacteria, with MIC values in the range of 2–4 μg/mL, and was superior to the reference drugs meropenem and levofloxacin. Effective antibacterial activity of 5i was also shown in vivo in a mouse model of Staphylococcus aureus MRSA strain, with an ED50values of 2.62 mg/kg.

Efficient syntheses of 4,5-, 5,6-, and 6,7-indolyne precursors beginning from commercially available hydroxyindole derivatives are reported. The synthetic routes are versatile and allow access to indolyne precursors that remain unsubstituted on the pyrrole ring. Indolynes can be generated under mild fluoride-mediated conditions, trapped by a variety of nucleophilic reagents, and used to access a number of novel substituted indoles. Nucleophilic addition reactions to indolynes proceed with varying degrees of regioselectivity; distortion energies control regioselectivity and provide a simple model to predict the regioselectivity in the nucleophilic additions to indolynes and other unsymmetrical arynes. This model has led to the design of a substituted 4,5-indolyne that exhibits enhanced nucleophilic regioselectivity.

A novel series of extended DAPI analogues were prepared by insertion of either a carbon-carbon triple bond (16a-d) or a phenyl group (21a,b and 24) at position-2. The new amidines were evaluated in vitro against both Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (T. b. r.) and Plasmodium falciparum (P. f.). Five compounds (16a, 16b, 16d, 21a, 21b) exhibited IC50 values against T. b. r. of 9 nM or less which is two to nine folds more effective than DAPI. The same five compounds exhibited IC50 values against P. f. of 5.9 nM or less which is comparable to that of DAPI. The fluorescence properties of these new molecules were recorded, however; they do not offer any advantage over those of DAPI.
