MexAB-OprM specific efflux pump inhibitors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Part 6: exploration of aromatic substituents
Abstract
A series of 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives, derivatized at the 2-position with aromatic substituents, were synthesized by the Suzuki cross-coupling method and evaluated for their ability to potentiate the activity of the fluoroquinolone levofloxacin (LVFX) and the anti-pseudomonas beta-lactam aztreonam (AZT) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. By incorporating hydrophilic substituents onto the aryl nucleus, we found a morpholine analogue that possessed improved solubility, retained activity in vitro, and displayed potentiation activity in vivo in a rat model of P. aeruginosa pneumonia.
