Abstract: Herein, we report spiropyrimidinetriones (SPTs) incorporating N-linked azole substituents on a benzisoxazole scaffold with improved Gram-positive antibacterial activity relative to previously described analogues. SPTs have an unusual spirocyclic architecture and represent a new antibacterial class of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV inhibitors. They are not cross-resistant to fluoroquinolones and other DNA gyrase/topoisomerase IV inhibitors used clinically. The activity of the SPTs was assessed for DNA gyrase inhibition, and the antibacterial activity across Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens with N-linked 1,2,4-triazoles substituted on the 5-position provides the most worthwhile profile. Directed nucleophilic and electrophilic chemistry was developed to vary this 5-position with carbon, nitrogen, or oxygen substituents and explore structure-activity relationships including those around a target binding model. Compounds with favorable pharmacokinetic parameters were identified, and two compounds demonstrated cidality in a mouse model of Staphylococcus aureus infection.
