(3-Amino-2-oxoalkyl)phosphonic acids and their analogs as novel inhibitors of D-alanine:D-alanine ligase

Abstract: The dipeptide D-alanyl-D-alanine is an essential precursor of bacterial peptidoglycan; thus, blocking its formation is a possible target for the design of novel antibacterial agents. The synthesis of this dipeptide by bacterial D-alanine:D-alanine ligase requires ATP. In analogy with glutamine synthetase, we hypothesized a mechanism for this enzyme involving the intermediacy of D-alanyl phosphate. Several (3-amino-2-oxoalkyl)phosphonic acids and their analogues have been synthesized as possible inhibitory mimi… Show more

“…The cancer cell inhibition activity of the potentially dual functioning anticancer agent 16 was notable (Table 1), as was the broad spectrum antimicrobial action of amide 14. The latter substance (14) also inhibited the growth of the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans (MIC = 64 µg/ml), the pathogenic bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae ATCC 49226 (MIC = 16 µg/ml), and the opportunistic bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 6303 (MIC = 8-16 µg/ml) and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 (MIC = 32-64 µg/ml). Prodrug 3a inhibited N. gonorrhoeae (MIC = 0.125 µg/ml) and E. faecalis (MIC = 16 µg/ml), and prodrug 6 inhibited N. gonorrhoeae (MIC = 4 µg/ml).…”

“…33 This aldehyde was then reacted with freshly in situ prepared Bestmann-Ohira reagent (dimethyl diazo-2-oxopropylphosphonate), 36 and the resulting intermediate alkyne 26 was readily deprotected in iodotrimethylsilane to generate 5 (Scheme 2). 37 Likewise, the synthesis of alkyne 6 started with aldehyde 27 (Boc-Ala-CHO 38 ) and reaction with the Bestmann-Ohira reagent to generate 28 (Scheme 2). After deprotecting the Boc this intermediate was coupled with BocThrIJtBu)-OH followed by another deprotection to facilitate alkyne 6.…”

“…The acetylsulfanylethylketone (19) that differed from intermediate (12) by the distance between the carbonyl and mercapto groups, was prepared via the a,b-unsaturated compound (18). 20) Thus the aminoaldehyde (14) was transformed into the vinyl alcohol (17), which on Swern oxidation gave the corresponding a,b-unsaturated ketone (18). Compound 19 was obtained by an 1,4-addition of thioacetic acid to 18.…”
