Thiazolino 2-Pyridone Amide Isosteres As Inhibitors of Chlamydia trachomatis Infectivity

J Med Chem. 2017 Nov 22;60(22):9393-9399. doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.7b00716. Epub 2017 Nov 3.

Abstract

Chlamydia trachomatis is a global health burden due to its prevalence as a sexually transmitted disease and as the causative agent of the eye infection trachoma. We recently discovered 3-amido thiazolino 2-pyridones which attenuated C. trachomatis infectivity without affecting host cell or commensal bacteria viability. We present here the synthesis and evaluation of nonhydrolyzable amide isosteres based on this class, leading to highly potent 1,2,3-triazole based infectivity inhibitors (EC50 ≤ 20 nM).
