Inhibition ofS. aureusdiapophytoene desaturase (CrtN) could serve as an alternative approach for addressing the tricky antibiotic resistance by blocking the biosynthesis of carotenoid pigment which shields the bacterium from host oxidant killing. In this study, we designed and synthesized 44 derivatives with piperonyl scaffold targeting CrtN and the structure-activity relationships (SARs) were examined extensively to bring out the discovery of21bwith potent efficacy and better hERG safety profile compared to the first class CrtN inhibitor benzocycloalkane derivative2. Except the excellent pigment inhibitory activity against wild-typeS. aureus,21balso showed excellent pigment inhibition against four pigmented MRSA strains. In addition, H2O2killing and human whole blood killing assays proved21bcould sensitizeS. aureusto be killed under oxidative stress conditions. Notably, the murine studyin vivovalidated the efficacy of21bagainst pigmentedS. aureusNewman, vancomycin-intermediateS. aureusMu50 and linezolid-resistantS. aureusNRS271.
