- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of antimicrobial diarylimine and –amine compounds targeting the interaction between the bacterial NusB and NusE proteins
-
Discovery of antimicrobial agents with a novel model of action is in urgent need for the clinical management of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. Recently, we reported the identification of a first-in-class bacterial ribosomal RNA synthesis inhibitor, which interrupted the interaction between the bacterial transcription factor NusB and NusE. In this study, a series of diaryl derivatives were rationally designed and synthesized based on the previously established pharmacophore model. Inhibitory activity against the NusB-NusE binding, circular dichroism of compound treated NusB, antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity, hemolytic property and cell permeability using Caco-2 cells were measured. Structure-activity relationship and quantitative structure–activity relationship were also concluded and discussed. Some of the derivatives demonstrated improved antimicrobial activity than the hit compound against a panel of clinically important pathogens, lowering the minimum inhibition concentration to 1–2 μg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus, including clinical strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at a level comparable to some of the marketed antibiotics. Given the improved antimicrobial activity, specific inhibition of target protein-protein interaction and promising pharmacokinetic properties without significant cytotoxicity, this series of diaryl compounds have high potentials and deserve for further studies towards a new class of antimicrobial agents in the future.

- Shining new light on the spiropyran photoswitch: A photocage decides between cis-trans or spiro-merocyanine isomerization
-
Photochromic molecules from the spiropyran family are known to undergo light-induced interconversion between the colorless spiro- and the colored merocyanine forms. Here, we show for the first time that small structural modifications open up for an additional photoisomerization mode: reversible cis-trans isomerization of the merocyanine. Moreover, the introduction of a photocage allows for light-activated switching between the two modes.

- H-Bond Self-Assembly: Folding versus Duplex Formation
-
Linear oligomers equipped with complementary H-bond donor (D) and acceptor (A) sites can interact via intermolecular H-bonds to form duplexes or fold via intramolecular H-bonds. These competing equilibria have been quantified using NMR titration and dilution experiments for seven systems featuring different recognition sites and backbones. For all seven architectures, duplex formation is observed for homo-sequence 2-mers (AA·DD) where there are no competing folding equilibria. The corresponding hetero-sequence AD 2-mers also form duplexes, but the observed self-association constants are strongly affected by folding equilibria in the monomeric states. When the backbone is flexible (five or more rotatable bonds separating the recognition sites), intramolecular H-bonding is favored, and the folded state is highly populated. For these systems, the stability of the AD·AD duplex is 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than that of the corresponding AA·DD duplex. However, for three architectures which have more rigid backbones (fewer than five rotatable bonds), intramolecular interactions are not observed, and folding does not compete with duplex formation. These systems are promising candidates for the development of longer, mixed-sequence synthetic information molecules that show sequence-selective duplex formation.

- Reaction of 3-arylidenepropenoic acid derivatives with triethylamine and other amines; Unexpected reductions and vinylogations
-
Exposure of ethyl 2-cyano-3-(2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl)acrylate 1f to triethylamine in hot ethanol resulted in the formation of the dihydro derivative 2f and vinylogue 3f in high yields. Single crystal X-ray data are provided for 3f. Similar reactions were observed for various analogues. The reaction was studied changing aryl substituent, amines and solvents. Pyridyl, thienyl analogues were also examined. The study was extended to cyclic molecules incorporating such systems like thiazolidinedione 8, 3-cyanocoumarin 9 and 4-arylidene-isoquinoline-2,4-diones 11. The last group gave vinylogated products, 4-cinnamylidene-isoquinolinediones and 4-hydroxylated species. A few examples of arylidene derivatives from malononitrile, ethyl acetoacetate, acetyl acetone and ethyl methylsufonylacetate were investigated. Ethyl cinnamate and β-nitrostyrene were unaffected. The reaction is considered to be possibly radical mediated, since addition of free radical quencher suppressed the reaction. Contrary to the effects of thermal conditions, irradiation of 1f in ethanol at 254 and 365 nm gave complex mixtures. A few other interesting observations in this study are noted: vinylogation of 1f with acetaldehyde to 3f; formation of 3f from 1f by the treatment with triethylamine, palladium carbon and reduction of 1f to 2f by triethylammonium formate in DMF.

- Substituent Control of Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding in Formyl-Protonated o-Anisaldehydes: A Stable Ion and Semiempirical MO Investigation
-
o-Anisaldehyde and its 5-Br, 5-F, 5-CF3, 5-CN, 5-NO2, and 5-COMe derivatives are protonated at the formyl group in 1 : 1 SbF5-FSO3H/SO2 (or SO2ClF) to give persistent carboxonium ions as mixtures of Z and E geometrical isomers.The cyano, nitro, and acetyl substituents are also protonated, leading to dications and additional geometrical isomers in the nitro and acetyl cases.The carboxonium ions are predominantly in the Z,syn configuration, but with increased amounts of the E,anti configuration with increased electron withdrawal by the substituents.With 5-NO2H(+), Eisomers become more abundant than Z.The formyl protonated 2-(trifluoromethoxy)benzaldehyde shows a strong preference for the E configuration.The preference for the Z,syn form is attributed to intramolecular hydrogen bonding that becomes less favorable as electron density is withdrawn from the methoxyl oxygen.The log Z/E values correlate with differences in energy content of the isomers predicted in AM1 calculations, and the chemical shift of the hydroxyl proton of the carboxonium group correlates well with predicted charge on the proton.

The treatment of (E)-3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid with ceric amonium nitrate in trifluoroacetic acid afforded (E)1,2-dimethoxy-4-nitro-5-(2-nitroethenyl)benzene in 79percent yield.The unusual ipso substitution of the carboxylic acid moiety by a nitro functional center illustrated a new reaction manifold of cerium(IV).Six cinnamic acids were examined to ascertain the generality of the transformation.The bidentate nitrato structure of the metal salt is believed to account for the nitrating ability of this system.
