Wang, Pengxu published the artcileDiscovery of Novel Thiophene-arylamide Derivatives as DprE1 Inhibitors with Potent Antimycobacterial Activities, Name: 3-(Methoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid, the publication is Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2021), 64(9), 6241-6261, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

In this study, we report the design and synthesis of a series of novel thiophene-arylamide compounds derived from the noncovalent decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose 2′-epimerase (DprE1) inhibitor TCA1 through a structure-based scaffold hopping strategy. Systematic optimization of the two side chains flanking the thiophene core led to new lead compounds bearing a thiophene-arylamide scaffold with potent antimycobacterial activity and low cytotoxicity. Compounds I, II, III [X = H,F] exhibited potent in vitro activity against both drug-susceptible (min. inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 0.02-0.12μg/mL) and drug-resistant (MIC = 0.031-0.24μg/mL) tuberculosis strains while retaining potent DprE1 inhibition (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) = 0.2-0.9μg/mL) and good intracellular antimycobacterial activity. In addition, these compounds showed good hepatocyte stability and low inhibition of the human ether-á-go-go related gene (hERG) channel. The representative compound III [X = H] with acceptable pharmacokinetic property demonstrated significant bactericidal activity in an acute mouse model of tuberculosis. Moreover, the mol. docking study of template compound I provides new insight into the discovery of novel antitubercular agents targeting DprE1.
