Abstract
A series of cyclic sulfones has been synthesized and their activity against beta-ketoacyl-ACP-synthase III (FabH) has been investigated. The compounds are selectively active against Escherichia coli FabH (ecFabH), but not Mycobacterium tuberculosis FabH (mtFabH) or Plasmodium falciparum KASIII (PfKASIII). The activity against ecFabH ranges from 0.9 to >100microM and follows a consistent general SAR trend. Many of the compounds were shown to have antimalarial activity against chloroquine (CQ)-sensitive (D6) P. falciparum (IC(50)=5.3microM for the most potent inhibitor) and some were active against E. coli (MIC=6.6microg/ml for the most potent inhibitor).Entities:
