Abstract
To search for new antitubercular agents, we have designed, synthesized, and evaluated a series of 1,4-benzoxazinone-based compounds. These molecules showed potent antimycobacterial activity, with MIC between 2 and 8 μg/mL. This interesting profile included activity against several drug-resistant strains and minimal cytotoxicity against mammalian Vero cells. Structural similarities with analogs from the literature were reinforced by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, suggesting that inhibition of the MenB enzyme is a potential mechanism of action. In addition, the active compounds exhibited favorable predicted ADME properties, indicating their potential for oral administration to humans.
期刊介绍:
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
