Biarylmethoxy Nicotinamides As Novel and Specific Inhibitors of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> A whole cell based screening effort on a focused library from corporate collection resulted in the identification of biarylmethoxy nicotinamides as novel inhibitors of <i>M. tuberculosis</i> (Mtu) H37Rv. The series exhibited tangible structure–activity relationships, and during hit to lead exploration, a cellular potency of 100 nM was achieved, which is an improvement of >200-fold from the starting point. The series is very specific to Mtu and noncytotoxic up to 250 μM as measured in the mammalian cell line THP-1 based cytotoxicity assay. This compound class retains its potency on several drug sensitive and single drug resistant clinical isolates, which indicate that the compounds could be acting through a novel mode of action. series;Mycobacterium tuberculosisA;Specific Inhibitors;100 nM;screening effort;novel mode;cell line THP;identification;exploration;biarylmethoxy nicotinamides;relationship;collection;Mtu;potency;H 37Rv;250 μ M;cytotoxicity assay;compound class;novel inhibitors;noncytotoxic;Biarylmethoxy Nicotinamides 2014-05-08
