Abstract

A series of 11 α,ω-diaminoalkanes, (H2N(CH2)nNH2, n = 2–12) have been evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Compounds, (H2N(CH2)nNH2, n = 9–12), exhibited a very good activities in the range 2.50–3.12 μg/mL, which can be compared with that of the first line drug, ethambutol (3.12 μg/mL). These results and a preliminary QSAR study can be considered an important start point for the rational design of new leads for anti-TB compounds.

Compounds, (H2N(CH2)nNH2, n = 9–12), exhibited important anti-tuberculosis activities in the range of 2.50–3.12 μg/mL, which can be compared with that of the first line drug, ethambutol (3.12 μg/mL). These results and a preliminary QSAR study can be considered an important information for the rational design of new leads for anti-TB compounds.

    A good example is 1,2-ethylenediamine, a pharmacophore of ethambutol, a front-line drug used to treat tuberculosis (TB) [15,16]. α,ω-Diaminoalkanes and bis-glycosylated diamino alcohols have been shown to exhibit good antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis [17,18]. Diethylcarbamazine (DEC) (N,N-diethyl-4-piperazine-1-carboxamide), a synthetic derivative of piperazine, and secondary amines such as N-hexylcyclohexylamine exhibited activity against filariasis causing parasites [19].

    As such, the compatibility of organometallic compounds with water is important for the development of biomedicines [17], bioorganometallic chemistry and organometallic radiopharmaceuticals. Most compounds that are pharmacologically important have been nitrogen-containing organometallics such as, diaminoalkanes [18,19], ferrocenyl diamines [20] and ferrocenyl diaminoalcohols [21], which have shown high activity biologically. These compounds may also have exciting catalytic applications [22].

    Citation Excerpt :

    In the current study, according to in silico methodologies, a database containing 400 antimycobacterial compounds has been made; following that, 1400 descriptors were defined and classified to construct and introduce a predictive model, which can play a key role for designing efficient compounds against Mycobacterium sp. A global literature search within published articles in valid scientific databases such as ScienceDirect, PubMed Central, BioMed Central, MEDLINE/PubMed, Hindawi Publishing Corporation, Springer and Wiley-Blackwell was performed to construct a data set including 400 synthetic and natural antimycobacterial compounds with known minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against Mycobacterium sp. (especially for M. tuberculosis) and wherein relevant information of mentioned compounds was published during the years 1986–2010 [2,3,5–137]. In some cases, derivatives of chemical compounds with the same core and various additional groups were reported in the articles/databases.

    Despite the great role played by the amine functionality in catalysis [1–5], pharmacology [6–15] and physiology [16–19], the coordination of simple amine ligands to transition metals is an area in chemistry that appears to be relatively ignored.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Diaminoalkanes constitute a very important class of compounds with potential application in pharmaceuticals. Ethambutol (diaminoethane based derivative) has been the first class antitubercular drug on the market since the 1960’s, a factor which has recently led to the syntheses of a wide range of diaminoalkane derivatives and their biological tests against mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv [22–26]. A series of neutral ferrocenyl diaminoalcohol and diaminoalkane complexes in which the ferrocenyl groups are bridged by a diaminoalkane bonded directly to the cyclopentadienyl moiety has been synthesized and evaluated against mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv [27,28].
