In an attempt to develop effective and potentially active antibacterial and/or antifungal agents, we designed, synthesized, and characterized thiolated CoQ analogs (CoQ1-8) with an extensive antimicrobial study. The antimicrobial profile of these analogs was determined using four Gram-neg. bacteria, three Gram-pos. bacteria, and three fungi. Because of the fact that the thiolated CoQ analogs were quite effective on all tested Gram-pos. bacterial strains, including Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213) and Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212), the first two thiolated CoQ analogs emerged as potentially the most desirable ones in this series. Importantly, after the evaluation of the antibacterial and antifungal activity, we presented an initial structure-activity relationship for these CoQ analogs. In addition, the most promising thiolated CoQ analogs (CoQ1 and CoQ2) having the lowest MIC values on all tested Gram-pos. bacterial strains, were further evaluated for their inhibition capacities of biofilm formation after evaluating their in vitro potential antimicrobial activity against each of 20 clin. obtained resistant strains of Gram-pos. bacteria. CoQ1 and CoQ2 exhibited potential mol. interactions with S. aureus DNA gyrase in addition to excellent pharmacokinetics and lead-likeness profiles. Our findings offer important implications for a potential antimicrobial drug candidate, in particular for the treatment of infections caused by clin. resistant MRSA isolates.
