    Abstract We previously identified a diazaborine series with potential for development as a new tuberculosis drug. This series has activity in vitro and in vivo and targets cell wall biosynthesis via inhibition of InhA. The overall aim of this study was to determine whether InhA inhibitors have activity against non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We tested the ability of two molecules of the diazaborine series to kill non-replicating M. tuberculosis in the nutrient starvation model; both molecules were bactericidal, reducing viability by >3 logs in 21 days. Activity showed similar kill rates to other InhA inhibitors (isoniazid and NITD-916). We conclude that inhibition of InhA is bactericidal against nutrient-starved non-replicating M. tuberculosis.

    Abstract We identified an amino-benzothiazole scaffold from a whole-cell screen against recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis under expressing the essential signal peptidase LepB. The seed molecule had 2-fold higher activity against the LepB hypomorph. Through a combination of purchase and chemical synthesis, we explored the structure-activity relationship for this series; 34 analogs were tested for antitubercular activity and for cytotoxicity against eukaryotic cells. We identified molecules with improved potency and reduced cytotoxicity. However, molecules did not appear to target LepB directly and did not inhibit protein secretion. Key compounds showed good permeability, low protein binding, and lack of CYP inhibition, but metabolic stability was poor with short half-lives. The seed molecule showed good bactericidal activity against both replicating and nonreplicating bacteria, as well as potency against intracellular M. tuberculosis in murine macrophages. Overall, the microbiological properties of the series are attractive if metabolic stability can be improved, and identification of the target could assist in the development of this series.

    Abstract We performed a high-throughput phenotypic whole cell screen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis against a diverse chemical library of approximately 100,000 compounds from the AbbVie corporate collection and identified 24 chemotypes with anti-tubercular activity. We selected two series for further exploration and conducted structure-activity relationship studies with new analogs for the 4-phenyl piperidines (4PP) and phenylcyclobutane carboxamides (PCB). Strains with mutations in MmpL3 demonstrated resistance to both compound series. We isolated resistant mutants for the two series and found mutations in MmpL3. These data suggest that MmpL3 is the target, or mechanism of resistance for both series.

    Abstract Isoniazid inhibits Mycobacterium tuberculosis InhA and is a key component of drug regimens that treat tuberculosis. However, the high rate of resistance against isoniazid is a contributing factor to the emergence of multi-drug resistance strains of M. tuberculosis. The 4-hydroxy-2-pyridine NITD-916 is a direct inhibitor of M. tuberculosis InhA that has comparable efficacy to isoniazid in mouse models of TB infection but a lower frequency of resistance. To characterize resistance mechanisms against NITD-916 we isolated resistant mutants in H37Rv (Euro-American lineage) and HN878 (East-Asian lineage) strains of M. tuberculosis. The resistance frequency was similar in both strains. Mutations were identified in residues within or near to the active of InhA or in the fabG1inhA promoter region. All mutants were resistant to NITD-916 but were not cross resistant to isoniazid, despite homology to SNPs identified in isoniazid resistant clinical isolates.

    Abstract The Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell wall is a complex structure essential for the viability of the organism and its interaction with the host. The glycolipid lipoarabinomannan (LAM) plays an important role in mediating host-bacteria interactions and is involved in modulation of the immune response. The arabinosyltransferase EmbC required for LAM biosynthesis is essential. We constructed recombinant strains of M. tuberculosis expressing a variety of alleles of EmbC. We demonstrated that EmbC has a functional signal peptide in M. tuberculosis. Over- or underexpression of EmbC resulted in reduced or increased sensitivity to ethambutol, respectively. The C-terminal domain of EmbC was essential for activity because truncated alleles were unable to mediate LAM production in Mycobacterium smegmatis and were unable to complement an embC deletion in M. tuberculosis. The C-terminal domain of the closely related arabinosyltransferase EmbB was unable to complement the function of the EmbC C-terminal domain. Two functional motifs were identified. The GT-C motif contains two aspartate residues essential for function in the DDX motif. The proline-rich region contains two highly conserved asparagines (Asn-638 and Asn-652). Mutation of these residues was tolerated, but loss of Asn-638 resulted in the synthesis of truncated LAM, which appeared to lack arabinose branching. All embC alleles that were incapable of complementing LAM production in M. smegmatis were not viable in M. tuberculosis, supporting the hypothesis that LAM itself is essential in M. tuberculosis.

    Abstract There is an urgent need for new treatments effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis. The 8-hydroxyquinoline series is a privileged scaffold with anticancer, antifungal, and antibacterial activities. We conducted a structure-activity relationship study of the series regarding its antitubercular activity using 26 analogs. The 8-hydroxyquinolines showed good activity against M. tuberculosis, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC90) of <5 μM for some analogs. Small substitutions at C5 resulted in the most potent activity. Substitutions at C2 generally decreased potency, although a sub-family of 2-styryl-substituted analogs retained activity. Representative compounds demonstrated bactericidal activity against replicating M. tuberculosis with >4 log kill at 10× MIC over 14 days. The majority of the compounds demonstrated cytotoxicity (IC
