One of the essential drugs of the second-line antitubercular regimen is the prodrug ethionamide, introduced in the 1960s. Ethionamide is primarily used in cases of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) TB due to severe adverse side effects. As a prodrug, ethionamide is bioactivated by EthA, a mono-oxygenase whose activity is repressed by EthR, a member of the TetR family of regulators. Previous studies have established that inhibition of EthR improves ethionamide potency. We report here the crystal structures of three EthR inhibitors at 0.8 Å resolution (3-oxo-3-{4-[3-(thiophen-2-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]piperidin-1-yl}propanenitrile (BDM31343), 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-{4-[3-(6-methoxy-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]piperidin-1-yl}butanone (BDM41325) and 5,5,5-trifluoro-1-{4-[3-(4-methanesulfonylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]piperidin-1-yl}pentanone (BDM41907)), and the docking studies undertaken to investigate possible binding modes.

Both compounds adopt layered structures, in which layers of the inorganic {[Mo5O16](2-)}n polyanion alternate with layers of the organoammonium cations parallel to the (100) plane. The asymmetric units contain three Mo atoms (one situated on a twofold axis, Wyckoff position 4e), eight O atoms and one organic cation. Despite the fact that the structure determinations are based on powder diffraction data, due to the total energy minimization approach applied the Mo-O bond lengths can formally be assigned to one of the three groups, reflecting different types of O-atom placement within the polyanion. The cations form relatively strong N-H...O hydrogen bonds, anchoring one end of the organic molecules to both terminal and shared O atoms. The interactions involving the opposite end of the benzene rings are much weaker and include C-H...O and C-H...π bonds in (I) and an I...O halogen bond in (II).
