Abstract
As part of an ongoing project to develop highly potent anti-tuberculosis therapeutics, six SQ109 derivatives were synthesized and screened in vitro for their anti-tuberculosis activity against the ATCC strain H37Rv and the extensively drug-resistant clinical strain XDR 173. Compound 16 with an extended alkene chain was the most active against both strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis within a MIC range of 0.5-0.25 microM. Compound 12 and SQ109 were potent within a MIC range of 1-0.5 microM, whilst compound 18 displayed an activity within the MIC range of 0.5-2 microM against both Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains.
