- Discovery and development of novel salicylate synthase (MbtI) furanic inhibitors as antitubercular agents
-
We report on the virtual screening, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new furan derivatives targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis salicylate synthase (MbtI). A receptor-based virtual screening procedure was applied to screen the Enamine database, identifying two compounds, I and III, endowed with a good enzyme inhibitory activity. Considering the most active compound I as starting point for the development of novel MbtI inhibitors, we obtained new derivatives based on the furan scaffold. Among the SAR performed on this class, compound 1a emerged as the most potent MbtI inhibitor reported to date (Ki = 5.3 μM). Moreover, compound 1a showed a promising antimycobacterial activity (MIC99 = 156 μM), which is conceivably related to mycobactin biosynthesis inhibition.

- Benzohydroxamic acids as potent and selective anti-HCV agents
-
A diverse collection of 40 derivatives of benzohydroxamic acid (BHAs) of various structural groups were synthesized and tested against hepatitis C virus (HCV) in full-genome replicon assay. Some of these compounds demonstrated an exceptional activity, suppressing viral replication at sub-micromolar concentrations. The compounds were inactive against key viral enzymes NS3, and NS5B in vitro assays, suggesting host cell inhibition target(s). The testing results were consistent with metal coordination by the BHAs hydroxamic group in complex with a target(s). Remarkably, this class of compounds did not suppress poliomyelitis virus (PV) propagation in RD cells indicating a specific antiviral activity of BHAs against HCV.

- The first regioselective metalation and functionalization of unprotected 4-halobenzoic acids
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) By treatment with s-BuLi, s-BuLi/TMEDA, or t-BuLi at ~-78°C, 4-fluoro- and 4-chlorobenzoic acids (1a,b) are metalated preferentially in the position adjacent to the carboxylate. A complete reversal in regioselectivity is observed for 1a when treated with LTMP; a sequential process involving a rapid intraaggregate lithiation through a quasi dianion complex "QUADAC" is postulated to explain the unusual reactivity of Me2S2 and I2.
