Abstract
A diverse range of 9-substituted 1,8-dioxohexahydroxanthenes was conceptualized and synthesized through a TFA-mediated approach in near quantitative yields without the use of column chromatography. From a series of 25 compounds, we found that compounds 14c and 14r exhibited promising anti-tuberculosis potential against avirulent and virulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 8 μg ml−1, achieving 99% bactericidal activity at the same concentration. This series of compounds was found to be inactive against common Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, indicating that the activity is mycobacteria-specific. Since the strategies for treating tuberculosis employ a combinatorial therapy, we tested and observed that the two lead compounds displayed synergistic behavior with known anti-TB drugs (ATDs) and a significant (16–32 fold) decrease in MIC values of both leads was observed in combination with either RIF or INH. Interestingly the lead molecule 14c displayed only time-dependent kill kinetics and sterilized the whole culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv in just 48 hours.
