Drug resistant tuberculsosis (TB) is global health crisis that demands novel treatment strategies. Bacterial ATP synthase inhibitors such as bedaquiline and next-generation analogues (such as TBAJ-876) have shown promising efficacy in patient populations and preclinical studies, respectively, suggesting that selective targeting of this enzyme presents a validated therapeutic strategy for the treatment of TB. In this work, we report tetrahydronaphthalene amides (THNAs) as a new class of ATP synthase inhibitors that are effective in preventing the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) in culture. Design, synthesis and comprehensive structure-activity relationship studies for approximately 80 THNA analogues are described, with a small selection of compounds exhibiting potent (in some cases MIC90 <1 μg/mL) in vitro M.tb growth inhibition taken forward to pharmacokinetic and off-target profiling studies. Ultimately, we show that some of these THNAs possess reduced lipophilic properties, decreased hERG liability, faster mouse/human liver microsomal clearance rates and shorter plasma half-lives compared with bedaquiline, potentially addressing of the main concerns of persistence and phospholipidosis associated with bedaquiline.
