- Antifungal activity of aminoalcohols and diamines against dermatophytes and yeast
-
Dermatomycoses are infections caused by fungi and yeasts and the drug treatment is considered expensive and extensive. Researchers are synthesizing new organic compounds in order to obtain more effective molecules that provide reduced adverse effects. Our research group has synthesized and evaluated the biological activities of aminoalcohol and diamine derivatives, which were considered active against human pathogenic fungi. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antifungal activity of aminoalcohols and diamine derivatives against fungi and yeasts that cause dermatomycoses. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of aminoalcohol (1–4) and diamine (5–13) derivatives was determined against Trichophyton mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, Epidermophyton floccosum, and Candida albicans according to protocols from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. All molecules exhibited fungicidal activity against the evaluated fungal strains, with the MIC and MFC ranging between 0.12 and 1000 μg/mL for filamentous fungi and 0.6 and 1250 μg/mL for yeasts. The best activity was attributed to diamines compared to aminoalcohols, with an emphasis on molecules 6 and 7. These results demonstrate the antifungal potential of the evaluated aminoalcohols and diamines against the four primary fungal species that cause dermatomycoses. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Lipophilic gold(I) complexes with 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-thione or 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione moieties: synthesis and their cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities
-
Novel lipophilic gold(I) complexes containing 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-thione or 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione derivatives were synthesized and characterized by IR, high resolution mass spectrometry, and 1H, 13C 31P NMR. The cytotoxicity of the compounds was evaluated considering cisplatin and/or auranofin as reference in different tumor cell lines: colon cancer (CT26WT), metastatic skin melanoma (B16F10), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), cervical carcinoma (HeLa), glioblastoma (M059?J). Normal human lung fibroblasts (GM07492-A) and kidney normal cell (BHK-21) were also evaluated. The gold(I) complexes were more active than their respective free ligands and cisplatin. Furthermore, antibacterial activity was evaluated against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25213, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228 and Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli ATCC 11229 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The complexes exhibited lower MIC values when compared to the ligands and chloramphenicol against Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. Escherichia coli was sensitive one to the action of gold(I) complexes.

- Synthesis and evaluation of antibacterial and antitumor activities of new galactopyranosylated amino alcohols
-
Three series of d-galactose derivatives linked to a lipophilic aminoalcohol moiety were synthesized and their antibacterial activity was evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and representative species of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Five out of the thirteen tested compounds displayed activity against M. tuberculosis, with a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 12.5 μg/mL and seven compounds were active against the four bacterial strains tested. The best results were obtained for amino alcohols 10 and 11 against Staphylococcus epidermidis (MIC Combining double low line 2 μg/mL). The antitumor activity was evaluated against three tumor cell lines (MCF-7, HeLa and MO59J) and compared to the normal cell line GM07492A. The results showed that the lowest IC50 values were observed for the amino alcohol 16 against MCF-7 (11.9 μM) and MO59J (10.0 μM).

- Immunosuppressive but non-LasR-inducing analogues of the pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing molecule N-(3-Oxododecanoyl)-l-homoserine Lactone
-
Figure Presented. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing molecule N-(3-oxododecanoyl)-l-homoserine lactone (1) is involved not only in bacterial activation but also in subversion of the host immune system, and this compound might thus be used as a template to design immunosuppressive agents, provided derivatives devoid of quorum-sensing activity could be discovered. By use of a leukocyte proliferation assay and a newly developed bioluminescent P. aeruginosa reporter assay, systematic modification of 1 allowed us to delineate the bacterial LasR-induction and host immunosuppressive activities. The main determinant is replacement of the methylene group proximal to the β-ketoamide in the acyl chain of 1 with functions containing heteroatoms, especially an NH group. This modification can be combined with replacement of the homoserine lactone system in 1 with stable cyclic groups. For example, we found the simple compound N1-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-N 3-octylmalonamide (25d) to be over twice as potent as 1 as an immune suppressor while displaying LasR-induction antagonist activity.

- Synthesis and antileishmanial activity of lipidic amino alcohols
-
In this work, a number of lipidic amino alcohols wereas synthesized and evaluated in vitro on cultures of Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania chagasi. Nine amino alcohols showed inhibition of L. chagasi growth, and seven of them showed inhibition of L. amazonensis with IC50 below 10 μm. Compound 11f was more active than the reference drug amphotericin B against L. chagasi promastigote forms.

- Preparation and antitubercular activities of alkylated amino alcohols and their glycosylated derivatives
-
A series of N- and C-alkylated amino alcohols and of their protected galactopyranosyl derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for antitubercular activity. Five of these compounds displayed good activity, with a MIC below 12.5 μg/mL. The presence of the carbohydrate slightly affected the antibacterial activity.

- Phosphorous amine lubricant additives
-
Lubricant additives are produced by reacting an alkoxylated amine with phosphorous acid. The additives preferably also contain a boron moiety which is reacted with the phosphorous acid and amine, preferably in a one step reaction. More preferably, a mono-functional alcohol or a long-chain aliphatic carboxylic acid is added to this mixture. The additives are particularly useful in metal working oils and particularly as extreme pressure additives to replace the currently used chlorinated paraffin additives.
