Structure activity relationship of N-1 substituted 1,5-naphthyrid-2-one analogs of oxabicyclooctane-linked novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents (Part-9).

Novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors (NBTIs) are the newest members of gyrase inhibitor broad-spectrum antibacterial agents, represented by the most advanced member, gepotidacin, a 4-amino-piperidine linked NBTI, which is undergoing phase III clinical trials for treatment of urinary tract infections (UTI). We have extensively reported studies on oxabicyclooctane linked NBTIs, including AM-8722. The present study summarizes structure activity relationship (SAR) of AM-8722 leading to identification of 7-fluoro-1-cyanomethyl-1,5-naphthyridin-2-one based NBTI (16, AM-8888) with improved potency and spectrum (MIC values of 0.

In Vitro and In Vivo Characterization of the Novel Oxabicyclooctane-Linked Bacterial Topoisomerase Inhibitor AM-8722, a Selective, Potent Inhibitor of Bacterial DNA Gyrase.

Oxabicyclooctane-linked novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors (NBTIs) represent a new class of recently described antibacterial agents with broad-spectrum activity. NBTIs dually inhibit the clinically validated bacterial targets DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV and have been shown to bind distinctly from known classes of antibacterial agents directed against these targets. Herein we report the molecular, cellular, and in vivo characterization of AM-8722 as a representative N-alkylated-1,5-naphthyridone left-hand-side-substituted NBTI.

Structure activity relationship of C-2 ether substituted 1,5-naphthyridine analogs of oxabicyclooctane-linked novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents (Part-5).

Oxabicyclooctane linked novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors (NBTIs) are new class of recently reported broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. They target bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV and bind to a site different than quinolones. They show no cross-resistance to known antibiotics and provide opportunity to combat drug-resistant bacteria.

Hydroxy tricyclic 1,5-naphthyridinone oxabicyclooctane-linked novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents-SAR of RHS moiety (Part-3).

Novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors (NBTIs) are a new class of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents targeting bacterial Gyrase A and ParC and have potential utility in combating antibiotic resistance. (R)-Hydroxy-1,5-naphthyridinone left-hand side (LHS) oxabicyclooctane linked pyridoxazinone right-hand side (RHS) containing NBTIs showed a potent Gram-positive antibacterial profile. SAR around the RHS moiety, including substitutions around pyridooxazinone, pyridodioxane, and phenyl propenoids has been described.

Structure activity relationship of substituted 1,5-naphthyridine analogs of oxabicyclooctane-linked novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents (Part-4).

Bacterial resistance is rapidly growing, necessitating the need to discover new agents. Novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors (NBTIs) are new class of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents targeting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. This class of inhibitors binds to an alternative binding site relative to fluoroquinolones and shows no cross-resistance to quinolones.

Tricyclic 1,5-naphthyridinone oxabicyclooctane-linked novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors as broad-spectrum antibacterial agents-SAR of left-hand-side moiety (Part-2).

Novel bacterial topoisomerase inhibitors (NBTIs) represent a new class of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents targeting bacterial Gyrase A and ParC and have potential utility in combating antibiotic resistance. A series of novel oxabicyclooctane-linked NBTIs with new tricyclic-1,5-naphthyridinone left hand side moieties have been described. Compounds with a (R)-hydroxy-1,5-naphthyridinone moiety (7) showed potent antibacterial activity (e.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of highly potent novel oxazolidinone antibacterials.

Novel antibacterial biaryl oxazolidinones bearing an aza-, an oxa-, or a thiabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-6-yl ring system were synthesized, and their in vitro antibacterial activity and structure-activity relationships (SAR) were evaluated.

Catalytic enantioselective fluorination of oxindoles.

We have developed a highly efficient catalytic enantioselective fluorination of oxindole derivatives. In the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral Pd complex 2 (2.5 mol %), various substrates, including aryl- and alkyl-substituted oxindoles, were fluorinated in a highly enantioselective manner (up to 96% ee).

Immobilization and reuse of Pd complexes in ionic liquid: efficient catalytic asymmetric fluorination and Michael reactions with beta-ketoesters.

[reaction: see text] Palladium complexes (1 and 2) were immobilized in ionic liquids, and their applications to catalytic asymmetric fluorination and Michael reaction of beta-ketoesters were successfully demonstrated. This immobilization enabled the reuse of the catalysts no less than 10 times in fluorination and 5 times in Michael reaction with levels of efficiency comparable to those obtained in usual organic solvents.

An efficient enantioselective fluorination of various beta-ketoesters catalyzed by chiral palladium complexes.

Reflecting the importance of fluorinated organic compounds in medicinal chemistry, development of an efficient method for catalytic enantioselective fluorination is increasingly desirable. Using a novel palladium complex 2 (1-2.5 mol %), various beta-ketoesters including cyclic and acyclic substrates were fluorinated with excellent enantioselectivity in the range of 83-94% ee.
