A series of second-generation analogues for 2-(1-(2-(4-butylphenyl)-4-methylthiazol-5-yl)ethylidene)aminoguanidine (1) have been synthesized and tested against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The compounds were designed with the objective of improving pharmacokinetic properties. This main aim has been accomplished by replacing the rapidly hydrolyzable Schiff-base moiety of first-generation members with a cyclic, unhydrolyzable pyrimidine ring. The hydrazide-containing analogue 17 was identified as the most potent analogue constructed thus far. The corresponding amine 8 was 8 times less active. Finally, incorporating the nitrogenous side chain within an aromatic system completely abolished the antibacterial character. Replacement of the n-butyl group with cyclic bioisosteres revealed cyclohexenyl analogue 29, which showed significant improvement in in vitro anti-MRSA potency. Increasing or decreasing the ring size deteriorated the antibacterial activity. Compound 17 demonstrated a superior in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic profile, providing compelling evidence that this particular analogue is a good drug candidate worthy of further analysis.
