The study identified two promising aminoalkylphenols with potential antibacterial activity against reference strain and clinical isolates. Despite exhibiting high cytotoxicity in vitro, these compounds may have potential as antibacterial agents.
The search for antibacterial agents for the combat of nosocomial infections is a timely problem, as antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to thrive. The effect of indoline substituents on the antibacterial properties of aminoalkylphenols was studied, leading to the development of a library of compounds with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) as low as 1.18 mu M. Two novel aminoalkylphenols were identified as particularly promising, after MIC and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) determination against a panel of reference strain Gram-positive bacteria, and further confirmed against 40 clinical isolates (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, and Listeria monocytogenes). The same two aminoalkylphenols displayed low toxicity against two in vivo models (Artemia salina brine shrimp and Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation (on human keratinocytes and human embryonic lung fibroblast cell lines) of the same compounds was also carried out. They demonstrated a particularly toxic effect on the fibroblast cell lines, with IC50 in the 1.7-5.1 mu M range, thus narrowing their clinical use. The desired increase in the antibacterial properties of the aminoalkylphenols, particularly indoline-derived phenolic Mannich bases, was reached by introducing an additional nitro group in the indolinyl substituent or by the replacement of a methyl by a bioisosteric trifluoromethyl substituent in the benzyl group introduced through use of boronic acids in the Petasis borono-Mannich reaction. Notably, the introduction of an additional nitro moiety did not confer added toxicity to the aminoalkylphenols. (C) 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
