Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the leading cause of death from a bacterial infection. The 4-aminopiperidine (PIP) series has been reported as having anti-bacterial activity against M. tuberculosis. We explored this series for its potential to inhibit aerobic growth of M. tuberculosis. We examined substitution at the N-1 position and C-4 position of the piperidine and modifications of the piperidine moiety systematically to delineate structure-activity relationships influencing potency. Compounds were tested for growth-inhibitory activity against virulent M. tuberculosis. A selected set of compounds were also tested for its activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The compound with a norbornenylmethyl substituent at the N-1 position and N-benzyl-N-phenethylamine at the C-4 position of the piperidine (1) was the only active compound with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 10 μM against M. tuberculosis. Compounds were not active against S. aureus. We were unable to derive any other analogs with MIC < 20 μM against M. tuberculosis. Therefore we conclude that the lack of activity is a liability in this series precluding it from further development.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 March 2015.
All research outputs
#14,803,937
of 22,792,160 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Negative Results in BioMedicine
#59
of 112 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#202,697
of 358,538 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Negative Results in BioMedicine
#4
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,792,160 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 112 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.6. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 358,538 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 6 of them.
