Charles University, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry Doctoral Degree Program Bioorganic Chemistry Candidate: Ing. Vladimír Finger Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. PharmDr. Jaroslav Roh, Ph.D. Title of Doctoral Thesis: Synthesis of purine derivatives with potential antimycobacterial activity The theoretical part of this dissertation briefly summarizes basic data on tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb.). The epidemiological data published in the annual report of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the structure of drugs used in current TB therapy are presented. The theoretical section also gives a brief overview of the treatment of TB and mentions four compounds that are currently in phase II clinical trials. The mechanism of action of these compounds is inhibition of the enzyme decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose-2'-epimerase, specifically the DprE1 subunit. This enzyme plays an important role in the synthesis of mycobacterial call wall. The next part of the dissertation summarizes the results of research on potential purine and pyrrolo[3,2- d]pyrimidine antituberculosis agents derived from purine-6-one 10. Compound 10 was identified as derivative with moderate anti-TB activity (MIC99(Mtb) = 4 μM) in a high-...
