Novel styryl-indoles as small molecule inhibitors of 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1): Synthesis and biological evaluation

The synthesis of a series of imidazole styrylindoles and sulfonyl styrylindoles derivatives is described. Evaluation of binding affinity and inhibitory activity against CYP24A1 identified the imidazole styrylindoles as potent inhibitors with activity greater or comparable with the standard ketoconazole.Flexible alignment and docking studies of the inhibitors in the CYP24A1 enzyme active site confirmed that complete occupation of the vitamin D access tunnel is essential to inhibitory activity, allowing exposure to multiple hydrophobic binding interactions and optimal conformation for the interaction of the imidazole nitrogen lone pair and the active site haem.

Structural Effect of Pincer Pd(II)–ONO Complexes Modified with Acylthiourea on Sizes of the In Situ Generated Pd Nanoparticles During Heck Coupling Reaction

Abstract: The Pd nanoparticles generated in situ from Pd–pincer complexes catalyzed Heck coupling reaction. For this purpose, new Pd(II)–ONO pincer complexes (1–4) containing acylthiourea ancillary ligand were obtained by treating [Pd(ONO)(CH3CN)] with the respective N-substituted carbamothioyl benzamide ligand (L1–L4). Formation of these complexes was confirmed by UV–Visible, FT-IR, NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques. The sizes of in situ formed Pd nanoparticles were greatly affected by the substituent in ancillary ligand, which in turn influenced their catalytic activity towards Heck coupling reaction. The in situ formed Pd nanoparticles during Heck reaction were removed from the reaction medium and analyzed using HR-TEM to estimate the sizes of the Pd nanoparticles. Complex [Pd(ONO)((N-benzylcarbamothioyl)benzamide)] (1) which does not possess any substituent on the benzyl moiety of acylthiourea produced the smallest Pd nanoparticles with the average particle size of 3.7?nm. Hence, complex 1 showed the utmost catalytic activity. With complex 1, 51–99% of conversion was observed during Heck coupling reaction of styrene with various aryl halides. XPS results confirmed that the recovered black particles were Pd(0). A reasonable recyclability results were achieved by these in situ generated Pd nanoparticles.

Inhibition and Dispersion of Bacterial Biofilms with 2-Aminobenzimidazole Derivatives

Compounds described herein inhibit biofilm formation or disperse pre-formed biofilms of Gram-negative bacteria. Biofilm-inhibitory compounds can be encapsulated or contained in a polymer matrix for controlled release. Coatings, films, multilayer films, hydrogels, microspheres and nanospheres as well as pharmaceutical compositions and disinfecting compositions containing biofilm-inhibitory compounds are also provided. Methods for inhibiting formation of biofilms or dispersing already formed biofilms are provided. Methods for treating infections of gram-negative bacteria which form biofilms, particularly those of Pseudomonas and more particularly P. aeruginosa.

2-aminobenzimidazole derivatives strongly inhibit and disperse Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms

Bacterial biofilms are exceptionally difficult to clear using traditional antibiotics and constitute a significant health threat. 2-Aminobenzimidazole derivatives (see scheme) are capable of strongly inhibiting the growth of and dispersing Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. These molecules were found to modulate quorum sensing in reporter strains, and represent some of strongest P. aeruginosa biofilm inhibitors known. Copyright
