A new class of diphenylurea was identified as a novel antibacterial scaffold with an antibacterial spectrum that includes highly resistant staphylococcal isolates, namely methicillin- and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA & VRSA). Starting with a lead compound 3 that carries an aminoguanidine functionality from one side and a n-butyl moiety on the other ring, several analogues were prepared. Considering the pharmacokinetic parameters as a key factor in structural optimization, the structure-activity-relationships (SARs) at the lipophilic side chain were rigorously examined leading to the discovery of the cycloheptyloxyl analogue 21n as a potential drug-candidate. This compound has several notable advantages over vancomycin and linezolid including rapid killing kinetics against MRSA and the ability to target and reduce the burden of MRSA harboring inside immune cells (macrophages). Furthermore, the potent anti-MRSA activity of 21n was confirmed in?vivo using a Caenorhabditis elegans animal model. The present study provides a foundation for further development of diphenylurea compounds as potential therapeutic agents to address the burgeoning challenge of bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

A comprehensive study of the symmetry forbidden fragmentation of short-lived radical anions (RAs) has been undertaken for the complete set of polyfluorinated benzoates (C6FnH5-nCO22, n = 1-5). The decay rate constants (kc) of RAs have been determined in aqueous alkaline solution (pH 13.4) by electron photoinjection (EPI) from mercury electrodes and were found to increase dramatically from ≤3 × 103 s-1 (3-F - C6H4CO2-) to (1.2 ± 0.8) × 109 s-1 (C6F5CO2-). The regioselectivity of C-F bond cleavage in the RA fragmentation has been revealed by structure assignment of reduction products of the polyfluorinated benzoic acids by Na, K, and Zn in liquid NH3, as well as by Zn in aqueous NH3 and aqueous alkaline solutions. The kc values depend on the position of the cleaved fluorine to the CO2- group generally in the order para > ortho > meta, and to sharply increase if adjacent fluorine atoms are present. The observed trends reveal that the kinetics of the RA fragmentation reaction is not controlled by the reaction thermodynamics. Semiempirical UHF/INDO calculations, the validity of which has been confirmed by ab initio ROHF/6-31+G calculations, were done to rationalize the observed trends. The reaction transition state (TS) was considered to arise from the RA's and 2*states crossing avoided due to out-of-plane deviation of the cleaving C-F bond. The satisfactory linear correlation (R = 0.96) between the model reaction energy barrier Ea and log kc has been achieved with modeling the local solvation of the CO2- group by its protonation.
