European journal of medicinal chemistry(2023)
摘要
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a major identifiable cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. In our previous study (J. Med. Chem., 2018, 61, 6759-6778), we have identified N-phenyl-cholan-24-amide as a potent inhibitor of spore germination. The most potent compounds in our previous work are N-arylamides. We were interested in the role that the conformation of the amide plays in activity. Previous research has shown that secondary N-arylamides exist exclusively in the coplanar trans conformation while tertiary N-methyl-N-arylamides exist in a non-planar, cis conformation. The N-methyl-N-phenyl-cholan-24-amide was 17-fold less active compared to the parent compounds suggesting the importance of the orientation of the phenyl ring. To lock the phenyl ring into a trans conformation, cyclic tertiary amides were prepared. Indoline and quinoline cholan-24-amides were both inhibitors of spore germination; however, the indoline analogs were most potent. Isoindoline and isoquinoline amides were inactive. We found that the simple indoline derivative gave an IC value of 1 μM, while the 5'-fluoro-substituted compound (5d) possessed an IC of 400 nM. To our knowledge, 5d is the most potent known spore germination inhibitor described to date. Taken together, our results indicate that the trans, coplanar conformation of the phenyl ring is required for potent inhibition.
