Synthesis and evaluation of triazole congeners of nitro-benzothiazinones potentially active against drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis demonstrating bactericidal efficacy.

ABSTRACT: With growing concerns regarding target residue mutation hovering over established anti-TB pharmacophores, it is imperative to have reserve chemotypes at our disposal to curb unrestrained spread of tuberculosis. In this context, we herein present the synthesis and bio-evaluation of a library of new nitrobenzothiazinone (BTZ) congeners comprising 2-mercapto/amino-benzothiazinone tethered 1,2,3-triazole hybrids as antitubercular agents. In preliminary screening, 10 out of 37 compounds displayed substantial in vitro potency against Mtb H37Rv (MIC 0.5-8 μg mL^-1). Structural optimization of the initial hit 5o (MIC 0.5 μg mL^-1) led to identification of linker variants 9a, 9b, 9c, and 9d exhibiting potent anti-TB activity (MIC 0.03-0.12 μg mL^-1). When tested against Vero cells to determine their selectivity index (SI), these compounds displayed no appreciable cytotoxicity (SI >80). Further studies on activity against drug resistant (DR) Mtb indicated these compounds to be equally potent (MIC 0.03-0.25 μg mL^-1). The in silico covalent docking study suggested a similar polar interaction to that of PBTZ169 with an additional and contrasting side chain interaction at the active site of Mtb DprE1 target protein. Further, the time kill kinetic study found compounds 9a and 9d to be demonstrating bactericidal efficacy, completely eliminating bacilli in 7 days at 10× MIC. The most promising compound 9d, considering its potent anti-TB activity (MIC 0.06 μg mL^-1 against drug susceptible Mtb and MIC 0.06-0.25 μg mL^-1 against DR Mtb) along with a broad therapeutic index (SI >640) demonstrating a comparable concentration dependent bactericidal efficacy to that of RIF, holds a significant edge to be translated into a potent anti-Mtb agent.

Project description:Changes in expression of membrane antigens may accompany the transition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) from 'dormant' to 'active' states. We have determined whether antibody and T cell responses to Mtb membrane (MtM)-associated antigens, especially the latency-induced protein alpha crystallin (Acr), can discriminate between latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and active TB (ATB) disease. Study subjects comprised a previously described cohort of healthcare workers (HCWs, n = 43) and smear-positive ATB patients (n = 10). HCWs were further categorized as occupational contacts (OC, n = 30), household contacts of TB (HC, n = 8) and cured TB (CTB, n = 5). Levels (ΔOD) of serum antibody isotypes (IgG, IgA and IgM) were determined by ELISA and blood T cell proliferative responses were determined by flow cytometry using Ki67 protein as marker for DNA synthesis. Antibodies to MtM and Acr were predominantly IgG and their levels in HCWs and ATB did not differ significantly. However, HCWs showed a significantly higher level of anti-MtM IgM and a significantly lower level of anti-Acr IgA antibodies than the ATB patients. Also, a larger proportion of HCWs showed a high (>1) ΔODAcr/ΔODMtM ratio for IgG. HCWs also showed a higher, though not significantly different from ATB, avidity of anti-MtM (IgG) antibodies. A higher proportion of HCWs (35% of OC, 62.5% of HC and 20% of CTB), compared with ATB (10%) showed a positive T cell response to Acr along with significant difference (P <0.05) between HC and ATB. A significant correlation (r = 0.60, P <0.0001) was noted between T cell responses of HCWs towards Acr and MtM (reported earlier by us) and both responses tended to decline with rising exposure to the infection. Even so, positive responses to Acr (38.5%) were significantly lower than to MtM (92%). Neither antibody nor T cell responses to either antigen appeared affected by BCG vaccination or reactivity to tuberculin. Results of the study suggest that the levels of IgM antibodies to MtM, IgA antibodies to Acr and proliferative T cell responses to both the antigens can potentially discriminate between LTBI and active TB disease. They also underscore the necessity of SOPs for antibody assays.
