Abstract

In the present work, a simple and facile synthesis of a new series of 3-arylvinylquinoxaline-2-carboxylic acids has been achieved using the newly-synthesized ethyl 3-bromomethylquinoxaline-2-carboxylate as substrate through one-pot sequential Arbuzov/Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE)/ester hydrolysis reaction procedure. A primary in vitro evaluation for their inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis (M. smegmatis) Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (Mtb LeuRS) revealed that (E)-3-(3-nitrostyryl)quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid (5j) represented the most active compound in this round of effort with the IC50 value of 14.7 μmol·L-1, which was much superior to the reference drug AN2679, indicating the potential medicinal value for the exploration of novel Mtb LeuRS inhibitor. The results of molecular docking analyses using CDOCKER module of Discovery Studio (DS) software suggested that it could bind well to the active site of Mtb LeuRS. Moreover, the antitubercular assay against M. smegmatis also revealed that the nitro-substituted 5j has the best anti-tubercular activity with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value 15.6 μg/mL, being comparable with the reference rifampicin.
