- Reinvestigation of the structure-activity relationships of isoniazid
-
Isoniazid (INH) remains a cornerstone for treatment of drug susceptible tuberculosis (TB), yet the quantitative structure-activity relationships for INH are not well documented in the literature. In this paper, we have evaluated a systematic series of INH analogs against contemporary Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains from different lineages and a few non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Deletion of the pyridyl nitrogen atom, isomerization of the pyridine nitrogen to other positions, replacement of the pyridine ring with isosteric heterocycles, and modification of the hydrazide moiety of INH abolishes antitubercular activity. Similarly, substitution of the pyridine ring at the 3-position is not tolerated while substitution at the 2-position is permitted with 2-methyl-INH 9 displaying antimycobacterial activity comparable to INH. To assess the specific activity of this series of INH analogs against mycobacteria, we assayed them against a panel of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as a few fungi. As expected INH and its analogs display a narrow spectrum of activity and are inactive against all non-mycobacterial strains evaluated, except for 4, which has modest inhibitory activity against Cryptococcus neoformans. Our findings provide an updated analysis of the structure-activity relationship of INH that we hope will serve as useful resource for the community.

- 3. 6 - Disubstituted [1, 2, 4] triazolo [3, 4 - b] [1, 3, 4] thiadiazole compound and use thereof
-
The invention discloses 3,6-disubstituted[1,2,4]triazolyl[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole compounds represented by general formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or pharmaceutically acceptable solvates thereof. The compounds can be used as a transpeptidase SrtA inhibitor of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus pyogenes, Bacillus anthracis, Streptococcus pneumoniae and other Gram-positive bacteria, and can be used to prepare drugs for treating pathogen infection diseases with the transpeptidase SrtA of the Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus pyogenes, Bacillus anthracis and Streptococcus pneumoniae as target. The compounds avoid selection pressure induced drug resistance of pathogens to a certain degree, and mitigate threat of continuous drug-resistant pathogens to the health of human.

- Narrow SAR in odorant sensing Orco receptor agonists
-
The systematic exploration of a series of triazole-based agonists of the cation channel insect odorant receptor is reported. The structure-activity relationships of independent sections of the molecules are examined. Very small changes to the compound structure were found to exert a large impact on compound activity. Optimal substitutions were combined using a 'mix-and-match' strategy to produce best-in-class compounds that are capable of potently agonizing odorant receptor activity and may form the basis for the identification of a new mode of insect behavior modification.

- Discovery of 3-(3-cyano-4-pyridyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole, FYX-051-a xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitor for the treatment of hyperuricemia
-
Our previous study identified 2-[2-(2-methoxy-ethoxy)-ethoxy]-5-[5-(2-methyl-4-pyridyl)-1H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]-benzonitrile (2) as a safe and potent xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) inhibitor for the treatment of hyperuricemia. Here, we synthesized a series of 3,5-dipyridyl-1,2,4-triazole derivatives and, in particular, examined their in vivo activity in lowering the serum uric acid levels in rats. As a result, we identified 3-(3-cyano-4-pyridyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole (FYX-051, compound 39) to be one of the most potent XOR inhibitors; it exhibited an extremely potent in vivo activity, weak CYP3A4-inhibitory activity and a better pharmacokinetic profile than compound 2. Compound 39 is currently being evaluated in a phase 2 clinical trial.
