Abstract
Synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of a novel series of benzodiazepinedione-based inhibitors of Clostridium difficile toxin B (TcdB) are described. Compounds demonstrating low nanomolar affinity for TcdB, and which possess improved stability in mouse plasma vs. earlier compounds from this series, have been identified. Optimized compound 11d demonstrates a good pharmacokinetic (PK) profile in mouse and hamster and is efficacious in a hamster survival model of Clostridium difficile infection.
