- Discovery of the disubstituted oxazole analogues as a novel class anti-tuberculotic agents against MDR- and XDR-MTB
-
A high-throughput screening effort on 45,000 compounds resulted in the discovery of a disubstituted oxazole as a new structural class inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). In order to improve the activity and investigate the SAR of this scaffold, a series of disubstituted azole analogues have been designed and synthesized. The newly synthesized compounds 1a-y were evaluated for their in vitro anti-TB activity versus replicating, multi- and extensive drug resistant Mtb strains. All the compounds, except 1o, 1p and 1q, showed potent anti-TB activity with MIC of 1-64 mg/L. The test of broad spectrum panel revealed that this series are specific to Mtb. The cytotoxicity assessment indicated that the compounds were not cytotoxic against HEK 293 cells. The compounds could have a novel mechanism to anti-Mtb as they can inhibit drug sensitive and drug resistant Mtb.

- Enantioselective synthesis of α-benzylated lanthionines and related tripeptides for biological incorporation into E. coli peptidoglycan
-
The synthesis of modified tripeptides (S)-Ala-γ-(R)-Glu-X, where X = (R,S) or (R,R) diastereomers of α-benzyl or α-(4-azidobenzyl)lanthionine, was carried out. The chemical strategy involved the enantioselective alkylation of a 4-MeO-phenyloxazoline. The reductive opening of the alkylated oxazolines, followed by cyclization and oxidation, led to four PMB-protected sulfamidates. Subsequent PMB removal, Boc protection and regioselective opening with cysteine methyl ester led to protected lanthionines. These compounds were further converted in a one pot process to the corresponding protected tripeptides. After ester and Boc deprotection, the four tripeptides were evaluated as potential analogues of the natural tripeptide (S)-Ala-γ-(R)-Glu-meso-A2pm. These compounds were evaluated for introduction, by means of the biosynthetic recycling pathway, into the peptidoglycan of Escherichia coli. A successful in vitro biosynthesis of UDP-MurNAc-tripeptides from the tripeptides containing α-benzyl lanthionine was achieved using purified murein peptide ligase (Mpl). Bioincorporation into E. coli W7 did not occur under different tested conditions probably due to the bulky benzyl group at the Cα carbon of the C-terminal amino acid. This journal is

- Pd(ii)-catalyzed direct C5-arylation of azole-4-carboxylates through double C-H bond cleavage
-
The first palladium-catalyzed direct C5-arylation of azole-4-carboxylates with simple unactivated arenes through double C-H bond cleavage is realized. This protocol provided a straightforward access to diverse 5-arylsubstituted azole-4-carboxylic derivatives with good functional group tolerance. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012.

A mild copper(II)-catalyzed oxidation of 4-carboxythiazolines and 4-carboxyoxazolines to 4-carboxythiazoles and 4-carboxyoxazoles has been developed. Various substrates with alkyl or aryl substitutions at 2-position on azoline ring could be smoothly oxidi

- Environmental-benign oxidation of 2-oxazolines to oxazoles by dioxygen as the sole oxidant

A facile and environment-benign oxidation by dioxygen as the sole oxidant was applied for the conversion of 2-oxazolines to oxazoles. The substituent effect on 2-oxazoline ring was investigated. The use of this methodology for the synthesis of a key inter

- A direct synthesis of oxazoles from aldehydes
-
An expedient method for the direct conversion of aldehydes to 2,4-disubstituted oxazoles is presented. The method relies on the oxidation of an oxazolidine formed from the condensation of serine with an aldehyde and proceeds through a 2,5-dihydrooxazole intermediate. In contrast to standard methods that start from carboxylic acids, the use of aldehydes as starting materials does not require intermediate purification and affords the oxazoles under relatively mild conditions.
