Abstract

Heterocyclic electrophiles as small covalent fragments showed promising inhibitory activity on the antibacterial target MurA (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase, EC:2.5.1.7). Here, we report the second generation of heterocyclic electrophiles: the quaternized analogue of the heterocyclic covalent fragment library with improved reactivity and MurA inhibitory potency. Quantum chemical reaction barrier calculations, GSH (L-glutathione) reactivity assay, and thrombin counter screen were also used to demonstrate and explain the improved reactivity and selectivity of the N-methylated heterocycles and to compare the two generations of heterocyclic electrophiles.
