Title in Portuguese
Síntese e atividade antimicobacteriana de ésteres do ácido pirazinóico e quinolonas
Keywords in Portuguese
Ácido pirazinóico
Antimicobacterianos
Fluorquinolonas
Pró-farmacos
Abstract in Portuguese
A tuberculose afeta mais de um bilhão de pessoas em todo o mundo. Desde a descoberta da rifampicina, em 1965, nenhum outro fármaco importante foi introduzido na terapêutica. A pirazinamida, um dos fármacos disponíveis na terapia da tuberculose, é atualmente considerada um bioprecursor do ácido pirazinóico, porque bactérias resistentes não expressam uma enzima, pirazinamidase, responsável pela conversão da pirazinamida no derivado ácido. Ésteres do ácido pirazinóico apresentam atividade antimicobacteriana, provavelmente por melhor penetração pela parede celular das micobactérias que o derivado ácido. Desta forma, podem ainda atuar em cepas resistentes por serem ativados por esterases. Algumas fluorquinolonas apresentam atividade antimicobacteriana, como o ciprofloxacino, ofloxacino e levofloxacino. O trabalho teve por objetivo obter formas latentes de ácido pirazinóico unindo-o a quinolonas com atividade antimicobacteriana, através de ligação éster, obtendo-se pró-fármacos recíprocos. Um dos compostos sintetizados apresentou atividade in vitro, com concentração inibitória mínima comparável ao ciprofloxacino, um dos fármacos mais ativos.

Abstract in English
Tuberculosis affects over than one billion people around the world. Since the discovery of rifampin, in 1965, no one another important drug was introduced in therapeutics. Pyrazinamide, one of the drugs available in therapy of tuberculosis, is nowadays considered a bioprecursor of pyrazinoic acid, because resistant bacterias do not express an enzyme, pyrazinamidase, responsible by the conversion of pyrazinamide to pyrazinoic acid. Pyrazinoic acid esters exhibit antimycobacterial activity probably to better penetration through mycobacterial cell wall than the acid derivative. So, it could act in resistant strains because is activated by esterases. Some fluoroquinolones exhibit antimicobacterial activity, like ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin and levofloxacin. This work had as objective to obtain latent forms of pyrazinoic acid linking it to quinolones with antimycobacterial activity, through an ester bond, obtaining mutual prodrugs. One of the synthesized compounds showed activity in vitro, with minnimal inhibitory concentration comparable to ciprofloxacin, one of most active drugs.
