Indole chalcones were designed and synthesized as a promising set of compounds against HRv strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Within this library of compounds, (E)-1-(furan-3-yl)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (18), (E)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (20) and (E)-2-((1H-indol-2-yl)methylene)cyclopentan-1-one (24) displayed high anti-tubercular activity at 50 μg/ml with MIC values of 210, 197 and 236 μM respectively. The in-silico studies revealed that compound 18 exhibit binding modes similar to FAS-II inhibitors like INH or Thiolactomycin against KasA protein. Cytotoxicity assay results suggest that the compounds 18, 20 and 24 are non-cytotoxic to human megakaryocytes and murine B cells.
吲哚查耳酮被设计和合成作为一组有前途的化合物,用于对抗结核分枝杆菌 HRv 株。在这个化合物库中,(E)-1-(呋喃-3-基)-3-(1H-吲哚-3-基)-2-丙烯-1-酮(18)、(E)-3-(1H-吲哚-3-基)-1-(噻吩-2-基)-2-丙烯-1-酮(20)和(E)-2-((1H-吲哚-2-基)亚甲基)环戊烷-1-酮(24)在 50μg/ml 时表现出高抗结核活性,MIC 值分别为 210、197 和 236μM。计算机模拟研究表明,化合物 18 对 KasA 蛋白的结合模式类似于 FAS-II 抑制剂,如 INH 或硫代乳酸菌素。细胞毒性试验结果表明,化合物 18、20 和 24 对人巨核细胞和鼠 B 细胞无细胞毒性。
