Abstract

A series of 5′-O-[N-(salicyl)sulfamoyl]-2-aryl-8-aza-3-deazaadenosines were designed to block mycobactin biosynthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) through inhibition of the essential adenylating enzyme MbtA. The synthesis of the 2-aryl-8-aza-3-deazaadenosine nucleosides featured sequential copper-free palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling of a precursor 4-cyano-5-iodo-1,2,3-triazolonucleoside with terminal alkynes and a Minakawa-Matsuda annulation reaction. These modified nucleosides were shown to inhibit MbtA with apparent Kivalues ranging from 6.1 to 25 nM and to inhibit Mtb growth under iron-deficient conditions with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 12.5 to >50 μM.
