- Description: As part of an ongoing study to elucidate the SAR of bisindole alkaloid inhibitors against the evolutionary conserved MRSA pyruvate kinase (PK), we present here the synthesis and biological activity of six dihalogenated analogues of the naturally occurring sponge metabolite deoxytopsentin, including the naturally occurring dibromodeoxytopsentin. The most active compounds displayed potent low nanomolar inhibitory activity against MRSA PK with concomitant significant selectivity for MRSA PK over human PK orthologues. Computational studies suggest that these potent MRSA PK inhibitors occupy a region of the small interface of the enzyme tetramer where amino acid sequence divergence from common human PK orthologues may contribute to the observed selectivity.

- Description: The health care crisis caused by methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is due in part to a lack of fundamental drug discovery research into new antibiotics with novel modes of action. Marine bis-indole alkaloids have proved to be effective in vitro antibacterials. We present the synthesis of thiazole containing analogues of the marine natural product MRSA pyruvate kinase (PK) inhibitor, 6-bromodeoxytopsenin. The synthetic analogues showed moderate activity compared to the marine natural product against MRSA PK, an evolutionary conserved hub protein critical for bacterial survival. Our synthesis, via a Hantzsch thiazole condensation of α-oxo-1H-indole-3-thioacetamides with 2-bromo-1-(1H-indol-3-yl)-ethanones provided several challenges.

- Description: The public health care crisis caused by the emergence of drug resistant bacterial strains, e.g., methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has underlined the urgent need to accelerate the discovery of new chemical entities active against antibiotic resistant bacteria. We report here the synthesis of a series thiazole containing deoxytopsentin analogues, which show moderate activity against a target MRSA pyruvate kinase enzyme: an evolutionary conserved hub protein critical for bacterial survival. A Hantzsch thiazole coupling between a-oxo-1H-indole-3-thioacetamides and 2-bromo-1-(1H-indol-3-yl)-ethanones provided facile access to the thiazole containing deoxytopsentin compounds.

- Description: Naphthoquinones have been found to have a wide range of biological activities, including cytotoxicity to cancer cells. The secondary metabolites lapachol, α- and β-lapachone and a series of 25 related synthetic 1,4-naphthoquinones were screened against the oesophageal cancer cell line (WHCO1). Most of the compounds exhibited enhanced cytotoxicity (IC50 1.6–11.7 μM) compared to the current drug of choice cisplatin (IC50 = 16.5 μM).
