Popis: Acidic treatment of a mixture of caprazamycins (CPZs) A-G isolated from a screen of novel antimycobacterial agents gave caprazene, a core structure of CPZs, in high yield. Chemical modification of the resulting caprazene was performed to give its various derivatives. The structure-activity relationships of the caprazene derivatives against several mycobacterial species and pathogenic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were studied. Although caprazene showed no antibacterial activity, the antibacterial activity was restored for its 1'''-alkylamide, 1'''-anilide and 1'''-ester derivatives. Compounds 4b (CPZEN-45), 4d (CPZEN-48), 4f and 4g (CPZEN-51) exhibited more potent activities against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. avium complex strains than CPZ-B. These results suggest that caprazene would be a good precursor from which novel semisynthetic antibacterial antibiotics can be designed for the treatment of mycobacterial diseases such as tuberculosis and M. avium complex infection.
