TLDR
Several of the BTZ compounds showed improved activity against MDR-TB while retaining low toxicity with higher microsomal, metabolic, and plasma stability and were tested against a panel of mycobacterial strains.
Abstract
1,3-Benzothiazin-4-ones (BTZs) are a novel class of TB drug candidates with potent activity against M. tuberculosis. An in silico ligand-based model based on structure–activity data from 170 BTZ compounds was used to design a new series. Compounds were tested against a panel of mycobacterial strains and were profiled for cytotoxicity, stability, and antiproliferative effects. Several of the compounds showed improved activity against MDR-TB while retaining low toxicity with higher microsomal, metabolic, and plasma stability.

Thiolates Chemically Induce Redox Activation of BTZ043 and Related Potent Nitroaromatic Anti-Tuberculosis Agents

TL;DR: Chemical studies offer an alternate hypothesis for the mechanism of action of nitroaromatic anti-TB agents, in that the cysteine thiol(ate) or a hydride source at the active site of DprE1 may trigger the reduction of the nitro groups in a manner similar to the von Richter reaction to theNitroso intermediates, to initiate the inhibition of DPRE1.

The 8-Pyrrole-Benzothiazinones Are Noncovalent Inhibitors of DprE1 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: The most promising compound, PyrBTZ01, did not show efficacy in a mouse model of acute tuberculosis, suggesting that BTZ-mediated killing through DprE1 inhibition requires a combination of both covalent bond formation and compound potency.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationships evaluation of benzothiazinone derivatives as potential anti-tubercular agents.

TL;DR: Results suggested that the volume and lipophilicity of the substituents were important in maintaining activity, and compound 8o was nontoxic to Vero cells and orally bioavailable in a preliminary pharmacokinetics study.

Identification of Better Pharmacokinetic Benzothiazinone Derivatives as New Antitubercular Agents.

TL;DR: A series of new 8-nitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-benzothiazin-4-one(BTZ) derivatives containing a C-2 nitrogen spiro-heterocycle moiety based on the structures of BTZ candidates BTZ043 and PBTZ169 have promising potential to be lead compounds for future antitubercular drug discovery.
