Potent and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of indole-based bisamidine antibiotics: synthesis and SAR of novel analogs of MBX 1066 and MBX 1090.
The prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria in the clinic has propelled a concerted effort to find new classes of antibiotics that will circumvent current modes of resistance. We have previously described a set of bisamidine antibiotics that contains a core composed of two indoles and a central linker. The first compounds of the series, MBX 1066 and MBX 1090, have potent antibacterial properties against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. We have conducted a systematic exploration of the amidine functionalities, the central linker, and substituents at the indole 3-position to determine the factors involved in potent antibacterial activity. Some of the newly synthesized compounds have even more potent and broad-spectrum activity than MBX 1066 and MBX 1090.

Comparative in vitro activity profiles of novel bis-indole antibacterials against gram-positive and gram-negative clinical isolates.
Antimicrobial susceptibilities of 233 gram-positive and 180 gram-negative strains to two novel bis-indoles were evaluated. Both compounds were potent inhibitors of gram-positive bacteria, with MIC(90) values of 0.004 to 0.5 microg/ml. One bis-indole, MBX 1162, exhibited potent activity against all gram-negative strains, with MIC(90) values of 0.12 to 4 microg/ml, even against high-level-resistant pathogens, and compared favorably to all comparator antibiotics. The bis-indole compounds show promise for the treatment of multidrug-resistant clinical pathogens.
