Development of 2-(4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)acetamide derivatives as novel enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) inhibitors for the treatment of tuberculosis

Eur J Med Chem. 2014 Oct 30:86:613-27. doi: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2014.09.028. Epub 2014 Sep 9.

Abstract

InhA, the enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is an attractive target for developing novel anti-tubercular agents. Twenty eight 2-(4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)acetamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro MTB InhA inhibition. Compounds were further evaluated for their in vitro activity against drug sensitive and resistant MTB strains and cytotoxicity against RAW 264.7 cell line. Compounds were docked at the active site of InhA to understand their binding mode and differential scanning fluorimetry was performed to ascertain their protein interaction and stability.

Keywords: Cytotoxicity; Enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase; InhA; Tuberculosis.
