Valorisation of the diterpene podocarpic acidantibiotic and antibiotic enhancing activities of polyamine conjugates

Résumé

As part of our search for new antimicrobials and antibiotic adjuvants, a series of podocarpic acid-polyamine conjugates have been synthesized. The library of compounds made use of the phenolic and carboxylic acid moieties of the diterpene allowing attachment of polyamines (PA) of different lengths to afford a structurallydiverse set of analogues. Evaluation of the conjugates for intrinsic antimicrobial properties identified two derivatives of interest: a PA3-4-3 (spermine) amide-bonded variant 7a that was a non-cytotoxic, non-hemolytic potent growth inhibitor of Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and 9d, a PA3-8-3 carbamate derivative that was a non-toxic selective antifungal towards Cryptococcus neoformans. Of the compound set, only one example exhibited activity towards Gram-negative bacteria. However, in the presence of subtherapeutic amounts of either doxycycline (4.5 µM) or erythromycin (2.7 M) several analogues were observed to exhibit weak to modest antibiotic adjuvant properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and/or Escherichia coli. The observation of strong cytotoxicity and/or hemolytic properties for subsets of the library, in particular those analogues bearing methyl ester or n-pentylamide functionality, highlighted the fine balance of structural requirements and lipophilicity for antimicrobial activity as opposed to mammalian cell toxicity.
