Two BTZ043-derived benzisothiazolinones (BITs) with antimycobacterial activity were reported, confirming their molecular structures. In contrast, O-acyl benzisothiazol-3-ols, which are constitutionally isomeric, showed little or no antimycobacterial activity in vitro.
8-Nitro-1,3-benzothiazin-4-ones (BTZs) are known as potent antitubercular agents. BTZ043 as one of the most advanced compounds has reached clinical trials. The putative oxidation products of BTZ043, namely, the corresponding BTZ sulfoxide and sulfone, were reported in this journal (Tiwari et al. ACS Med. Chem Lett. 2015, 6, 128-133). The molecular structures were later revised to the constitutionally isomeric benzisothiazolone and its 1-oxide, respectively. Here, we report two BTZ043-derived benzisothiazolinones (BITs) with in vitro activity against mycobacteria. The constitutionally isomeric O-acyl benzisothiazol-3-ols, in contrast, show little or no antimycobacterial activity in vitro. The structures of the four compounds were investigated by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Molecular covalent docking of the new compounds to Mycobacerium tuberculosis decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-d-ribose 2 & PRIME;-epimerase (DprE1) suggests that the active BITs exert antimycobacterial activity through inhibition of DprE1 like BTZs.
