Background: Resuscitation promoting factors (RPF) are secreted proteins involved in reactivation of dormant actinobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. They have been considered as prospective targets for the development of new anti-tuberculosis drugs preventing reactivation of dormant tubercle bacilli, generally associated with latent tuberculosis. However, no inhibitors of Rpf activity have been reported so far. The goal of this study was to find low mol. weight compounds inhibiting the enzymic and biol. activities of Rpfs. Methodol./Principal Findings: Here the authors describe a novel class of 2-nitrophenylthiocyanates (NPT) compounds that inhibit muralytic activity of Rpfs with IC50 1-7 μg/mL. Fluorescence studies revealed interaction of active NPTs with the internal regions of the Rpf mol. Candidate inhibitors of Rpf enzymic activity showed a bacteriostatic effect on growth of Micrococcus luteus (in which Rpf is essential for growth protein) at concentrations close to IC50. The candidate compounds suppressed resuscitation of dormant (“”non-culturable””) cells of M. smegmatis at 1 μg/mL or delayed resuscitation of dormant M. tuberculosis obtained in laboratory conditions at 10 μg/mL. However, they did not inhibit growth of active mycobacteria under these concentrations Conclusions/Significance: NPT are the first example of low mol. weight compounds that inhibit the enzymic and biol. activities of Rpf proteins. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found 4-Chloro-6-methoxy-5-nitropyrimidine(cas: 52854-14-5SDS of cas: 52854-14-5)
4-Chloro-6-methoxy-5-nitropyrimidine(cas: 52854-14-5) is a member of organic chlorides. Organic chlorides are compounds containing a carbon-chlorine bond, which are widely used in the oil field as a wax dissolver. They are generally not present in crude oils and are typically the result of additives, cleaning solutions or chemicals used for oil recovery.SDS of cas: 52854-14-5
