Sulfolane

From the publication abstract:  Drug discovery eforts against the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) have been advanced through phenotypic screens of extensive compound libraries. Such a screen revealed sulfolane 1 and indoline-5-sulfonamides 2 and 3 as potent inhibitors of mycobacterial growth. Optimization in the sulfolane series led to compound 4, which has proven activity in an in vivo murine model of Mtb infection.

BRD4592

BRD4592A is a synthetic azetidine derivative discovered by whole cell screening that kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) through allosteric inhibition of tryptophan synthase (TrpAB). It binds at the TrpAB a–b-subunit interface and affects multiple steps in the enzyme’s overall reaction resulting in bactericidal activity.  It is active in zebrafish, but has metabolic liabilities including rapid mouse liver microsome clearance that preclude its efficacy testing in a mouse model.  The Mtb TrpAB gene is essential in vivo.

PKS13 Inhibitors - Coumestan Derivatives

Whole-cell based high-throughput screen with aerobically grown Mtb H37Rv. MIC = 0.125 - 0.25 ug/ml  From Abstract:  Used "structurally related benzofurans with the aim to improve their potency and bioavailability. Herein, we report our preliminary structure−activity relationship studies around this scaffold, highlighting a natural product-inspired cyclization strategy to form coumestans that are shown to be active in serum inhibition titration assays."
