Popis: We screened a series of 4-anilinoquinolines and 4-anilinoquinazolines and identified novel inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The focused 4-anilinoquinoline/quinazoline scaffold arrays yielded compounds with high potency and the identification of 6,7-dimethoxy-N-(4-((4-methylbenzyl)oxy)phenyl)quinolin-4-amine (34) with an MIC90 value of 0.63–1.25 µM. We also defined a series of key structural features, including the benzyloxy aniline and the 6,7-dimethoxy quinoline ring, that are important for Mtb inhibition. Importantly the compounds showed very limited toxicity and scope for further improvement by iterative medicinal chemistry.
