Popis: Taking palmatine (PMT) as the lead, 20 new PMT derivatives were synthesized and examined for their antibacterial activities against six tested metronidazole (MTZ)-resistant Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) strains. The structure&ndash
activity relationship (SAR) indicated that the introduction of a suitable secondary amine substituent at the 9-position might be beneficial for potency. Among them, compound 1c exhibited the most potent activities against MTZ-resistant strains, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 4&ndash
16 &mu
g/mL, better than that of the lead. It also exhibited a good safety profile with a half-lethal dose (LD50) of over 1000 mg/kg. Meanwhile, 1c might exert its antimicrobial activity through targeting H. pylori urease. These results suggested that PMT derivatives might be a new family of anti-H. pylori components.
