Design, synthesis, biochemical and in silico characterization of novel naphthalene-thiourea conjugates as potential and selective inhibitors of alkaline phosphatase
AbstractNaphthalene ring is present in a number of FDA-approved, commercially available medications, including naphyrone, terbinafine, propranolol, naproxen, duloxetine, lasofoxetine, and bedaquiline. By reacting newly obtained 1-naphthoyl isothiocyanate with properly modified anilines, a library of ten novel naphthalene-thiourea conjugates (5a –5j) were produced with good to exceptional yields and high purity. The newly synthesized compounds were observed for their potential to inhibit alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and scavenge free radicals. All of the investigated compounds displayed a more powerful inhibitory profile th...

End of the Bedaquiline patent – a crucial development for moving forward affordable drugs, diagnostics, and vaccines for infectious diseases in low- and middle-income countries.
When Johnson& Johnson (J&J) developed the new tuberculosis (TB) drug bedaquiline (Sirturo),[1] it was one the few new drugs to have been conditionally approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2012 for treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). It offered renewed hope to patients providing a unique opportunity to radically transform management of MDR-TB to shorter, easier-to-administer, and more patient-tolerable treatment regimens.[2] Evaluation in clinical trials over the ensuing seven years showed that bedaquiline was a game-changer, demonstrating substantial improved treatment ou...

Population pharmacokinetics and model-based dosing evaluation of bedaquiline in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients
Conclusion: We established a population PK model for bedaquiline in patients with MDR-TB in China. Based on the thresholds and MIC distribution derived in a clinical study, the recommended dosage of bedaquiline is sufficient for the treatment of MDR-TB. (Source: Frontiers in Pharmacology)

Efficacy of PBTZ169 and pretomanid against Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium chelonae, and Mycobacterium fortuitum in BALB/c mice models
ConclusionPBTZ169 appears to be a candidate for treating four common NTM infections. Pretomanid was more active against M. abscessus, M. chelonae and M. fortuitum than against M. avium. (Source: Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology)

Next-Generation Diarylquinolines Improve Sterilizing Activity of Regimens with Pretomanid and the Novel Oxazolidinone TBI-223 in a Mouse Tuberculosis Model
Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2023 Mar 15:e0003523. doi: 10.1128/aac.00035-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA regimen comprised of bedaquiline (BDQ, or B), pretomanid, and linezolid (BPaL) is the first oral 6-month regimen approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and recommended by the World Health Organization for the treatment of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. We used a well-established BALB/c mouse model of tuberculosis to evaluate the treatment-shortening potential of replacing bedaquiline with either of two new, more potent diarylquinolines, TBAJ-587 and TBAJ-876, in early clinical trials. We also e...
