A short and efficient synthesis of cyrmenin B1 an antifungal metabolite of myxobacteria Cystobacter armeniaca and Archangium gephyra, is described. The crucial steps of the synthesis included the formation of the dehydroalanine moiety from the corresponding serine acetate and the formation of the β-methoxyacrylate system via trimethylsilyldiazomethane methylation of the corresponding β-hydroxy enamide.

The pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces over 50 different quinolones, 16 of which belong to the class of 2-alkyl-4-quinolone N-oxides (AQNOs) with various chain lengths and degrees of saturation. We present the first synthesis of a previously proposed unsaturated compound that is confirmed to be present in culture extracts of P. aeruginosa, and its structure is shown to be trans-Δ1-2-(non-1-enyl)-4-quinolone N-oxide. This compound is the most active agent against S. aureus, including MRSA strains, by more than one order of magnitude whereas its cis isomer is inactive. At lower concentrations, the compound induces small-colony variants of S. aureus, reduces the virulence by inhibiting hemolysis, and inhibits nitrate reductase activity under anaerobic conditions. These studies suggest that this unsaturated AQNO is one of the major agents that are used by P. aeruginosa to modulate competing bacterial species.

Abstract: A relation between oil uptake and cancer as well as induction of hepatic inflammation was shown earlier. It is discussed that the main oil oxidation products—hydroperoxides and carbonyls—might be the reason for the mentioned diseases. In this manuscript quantitative determination of aldehydes which are formed during oxidation of triolein—as a model substance—using the Rancimat 679 is described. The oxidation of 11?g of triolein is carried out at 120?°C sparging air with a flow of 20?dm3/h for 10?h. A series of aliphatic aldehydes starting from hexanal to decanal as well as decenal was identified by LC–MS/MS and quantified as DNPH derivatives. In addition, the total amount of carbonyls was determined. Based on the calibration with hexanal, all other dominant substances were in the similar concentration range with maximum concentrations of 1.6?μmol/cm3 of hexanal, 2.3?μmol/cm3 of heptanal, 2.5?μmol/cm3 of octanal, 3.2?μmol/cm3 of nonanal, 4.0?μmol/cm3 of decanal after 6?h. The total amount of carbonyls reached a maximum after 6?h being 27?μmol/cm3 for triolein without antioxidant. The results of this investigation will be a basis for further toxicological studies on oxidized oils.
