Discovery of Potent Inhibitors of Streptococcus mutans Biofilm with Antivirulence Activity

Dental caries is a bacterial infectious disease characterized by demineralization of the tooth enamel. Treatment of this disease with conventional antibiotics is largely ineffective as the cariogenic bacteria form tenacious biofilms that are resistant to such treatments. The main etiological agent for dental caries is the bacterium Streptococcus mutans. S. mutans readily forms biofilms on the tooth surface and rapidly produces lactic acid from dietary sucrose. Glucosyl transferases (Gtfs) secreted by S. mutans are mainly responsible for the production of exopolysaccharides that are crucial for the biofilm architecture. Thus, inhibiting S. mutans' Gtfs is an effective approach to develop selective biofilm inhibitors that do not affect the growth of oral commensals. Herein, we report a library of 90 analogs of the previously identified lead compound, G43, and exploration of its structure activity relationships (SAR). All compounds were evaluated for the inhibition of S. mutans biofilms and bacterial growth. Selected compounds from this library were further evaluated for enzyme inhibition against Gtfs using a zymogram assay and for growth inhibition against oral commensal bacterial species such as Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis. This study has led to the discovery of several new biofilm inhibitors with enhanced potency and selectivity. One of the leads, IIIF1, showed marked reduction in buccal, sulcal, and proximal caries scores in a rat model of dental caries.

An Environmentally Benign, Catalyst-Free N?C Bond Cleavage/Formation of Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Unactivated Amides

Herein, we report an operationally simple, cheap, and catalyst-free method for the transamidation of a diverse range of unactivated amides furnishing the desired products in excellent yields. This protocol is environmentally friendly and operates under extremely mild conditions without using any promoter or additives. Significantly, this strategy has been implied in the chemoselective synthesis of a pharmaceutical molecule, paracetamol, on a gram-scale with excellent yield. We anticipate that this universally applicable strategy will be of great interest in drug discovery, biochemistry, and organic synthesis.

Metal-free transamidation of benzoylpyrrolidin-2-one and amines under aqueous conditions

N-Acyl lactam amides, such as benzoylpyrrolidin-2-one, benzoylpiperidin-2-one, and benzoylazepan-2-one reacted with amines in the presence of DTBP and TBAI to afford the transamidated products in good yields. The reactions were conducted under aqueous conditions and good functional group tolerance was achieved. Both aliphatic and aromatic primary amines displayed good activity under metal-free conditions. A radical reaction pathway is proposed.

Nickel/briphos-catalyzed transamidation of unactivated tertiary amides

The transamidation of tertiary amides was achieved via nickel catalysis in combination with briphos ligands. N-Methyl-N-phenylbenzamide derivatives reacted with primary amines in the presence of NiCl2/briphos L4 to provide the transamidated products in moderate to good yields. Primary aromatic amines delivered higher product yields than aliphatic amines.

Clickable coupling of carboxylic acids and amines at room temperature mediated by SO2F2: A significant breakthrough for the construction of amides and peptide linkages

The construction of amide bonds and peptide linkages is one of the most fundamental transformations in all life processes and organic synthesis. The synthesis of structurally ubiquitous amide motifs is essential in the assembly of numerous important molecules such as peptides, proteins, alkaloids, pharmaceutical agents, polymers, ligands and agrochemicals. A method of SO2F2-mediated direct clickable coupling of carboxylic acids with amines was developed for the synthesis of a broad scope of amides in a simple, mild, highly efficient, robust and practical manner (>110 examples, >90% yields in most cases). The direct click reactions of acids and amines on a gram scale are also demonstrated using an extremely easy work-up and purification process of washing with 1 M aqueous HCl to provide the desired amides in greater than 99% purity and excellent yields.

Iron-catalyzed C-H and C-C bond cleavage: A direct approach to amides from simple hydrocarbons

Something functional: The title reaction proceeds in the presence of azide and water to deliver amides in high yields, and it can be used in a ring-expansion strategy to generate lactams. A mechanism is proposed based on experimental results. This reaction offers a new approach to functionalizing simple and readily available hydrocarbons.

Preparation of Alkyl Chlorides, Acid Chlorides, and Amides Using Polymer-Supported Phosphines and Carbon Tetrachloride: Mechanism of These Reactions

Alcohols and thiols were converted into alkyl chlorides, carboxylic acids were converted into acid chlorides, and mixtures of carboxylic acids and amines were converted into amides by reaction with carbon tetrachloride and 1percent cross-linked polystyrenes containing phosphine residues.Some of these conversions were also effected by using a linear polymer containing phosphine residues.The reactions proceed in high yield, and isolation of the products is facilitated by the ready removal of all the polymer-supported species.The mechanism of the reactions between triphenylphosphine, carbon tetrachloride, and alcohols is complex, but the polymer-supported reactions appear to follow analogous pathways to the low molecular weight reactions as judged by the yields of chloroform and the number of equivalents of phosphine consumed per mole of alkyl chloride produced.The mechanism requires polymer-supported groups reacting together.The slow step in the reactions appears to be the generation of the chlorinating species.The polymer-supported reactions are faster than those using triphenylphosphine or 4-(diphenylphosphinyl)isopropylbenzene.It is suggested that this is due to a microenvironmental effect.
