Synthetic approaches towards bedaquiline and its derivatives

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2020 Jun 15;30(12):127172. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2020.127172. Epub 2020 Apr 7.

Abstract

Bedaquiline is a diarylquinoline drug that demonstrates potent and selective inhibition of mycobacterial ATP synthase, and is clinically administered for the treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. Due to its excellent activity and novel mechanism of action, bedaquiline has been the focus of a number of synthetic studies. This review will discuss these synthetic approaches, as well as the synthesis and bioactivity of the numerous derivatives and molecular probes inspired by bedaquiline.

Keywords: Bedaquiline; Diarylquinolines; SAR; Stereoselective synthesis; Tuberculosis.
