The binding of tRNA to the T box antiterminator RNA element is a critical component of the T box riboswitch mechanism that regulates essential genes in many Gram-positive bacteria. A series of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles was screened for disruption of the tRNA-T box antiterminator RNA interaction using a fluorescence anisotropy-based assay. Several compounds reduced the anisotropy greater than 50% likely indicating significant competition for binding antiterminator RNA. General structure–activity trends indicated that the substituents at both N-1 and C-4 likely are involved in ligand binding. In addition, the anisotropy of the complex was significantly decreased not only by ligands with the possibility for electrostatic interactions with the RNA, but also by ligands with the potential for π–π stacking or other hydrophobic interactions indicating that these non-electrostatic interactions could possibly be utilized in the future development of compounds that target and disrupt the function of this medicinally important riboswitch.
