Abstract
Head group analogues of the antibacterial and antiparasitic drug nitazoxanide (NTZ) are presented. A library of 39 analogues was synthesized and assayed for their ability to suppress growth of Helicobacter pylori, Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium difficile and inhibit NTZ target pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR). Two head groups assayed recapitulated NTZ activity and possessed improved activity over their 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole counterparts, demonstrating that head group modification is a viable route for the synthesis of NTZ-related antibacterial analogues.
