There is an urgent need for novel therapeutics possessing new modes of action to treat tuberculosis (TB) infections. In this study we report on the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of pyrido[2,3,4-kI] acridin-6-one alkaloids related to the anti-TB (MIC 0.35 mu M) but cytotoxic (IC(50) 25 mu M). Another analogue (10) was evaluated against a range of singly-drug-resistant strains of Mtb and was found to exhibit no cross-resistance. These results suggest that the pyrido[2,3,4-kI]acridin-6-one skeleton may provide a useful scaffold for future studies directed towards possible anti-TB drugs. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
