Highly enantioselective 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of 2-arylidene-benzofuran- 3(2H)-ones with imino esters catalyzed by thiourea?quaternary ammonium salts has been developed. This reaction provides efficient construction of a range of chiral spiro[benzofuran-2,3′-pyrrolidine] in high yields (up to 99%) and with good enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) under mild conditions.

Terminally protected acyclic tripeptides containing tyrosine residues at both termini self-assemble into nanotubes in crystals through various non-covalent interactions including intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The nanotube has an average internal diameter of 5 ? (0.5 nm) and the tubular ensemble is developed through the hydrogen-bonded phenolic-OH side chains of tyrosine (Tyr) residues [Org. Lett. 2004, 6, 4463]. We have synthesized and studied several tripeptides 3-6 to probe the role of tyrosine residues in nanotube structure formation. These peptides either have only one Tyr residue at N- or C-termini or they have one or two terminally located phenylalanine (Phe) residues. These tripeptides failed to form any kind of nanotubular structure in the solid state. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of these peptides 3-6 clearly demonstrate that substitution of any one of the terminal Tyr residues in the Boc-Tyr-X-Tyr-OMe (X=Val or Ile) sequence disrupts the formation of the nanotubular structure indicating that the presence of two terminally located Tyr residues is vital for nanotube formation.

Ergosterol exert the important function in maintaining the fluidity and osmotic pressure of fungal cells, and its key biosynthesis enzymes (Squalene epoxidase, SE; 14 α-demethylase, CYP51) displayed the obvious synergistic effects. Therefore, we expected to discover the novel antifungal compounds with dual-target (SE/CYP51) inhibitory activity. In the progress, we screened the different kinds of potent fragments based on the dual-target (CYP51, SE) features, and the method of fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) was used to guide the construction of three different series of benzodioxane compounds. Subsequently, their chemical structures were synthesized and evaluated. These compounds displayed the obvious biological activity against the pathogenic fungal strains. Notably, target compounds 10a-2 and 22a-2 possessed the excellent broad-spectrum anti-fungal activity (MIC50, 0.125–2.0 μg/mL) and the activity against drug-resistant strains (MIC50, 0.5–2.0 μg/mL). Preliminary mechanism studies have confirmed that these compounds effectively inhibited the dual-target (SE/CYP51) activity, they could cause fungal rupture and death by blocking the bio-synthetic pathway of ergosterol. Further experiments discovered that compounds 10a-2 and 22a-2 also maintained a certain of anti-fungal effect in vivo. In summary, this study not only provided the new dual-target drug design strategy and method, but also discover the potential antifungal compounds.

Background: Benzimidazole derivatives are an important class of heterocyclic compounds in organic chemistry as they are related to a wide range of biological properties, including antimicrobial activity. Methods: A series of 1-naphthoyl and benzoyl benzimidazole derivatives were synthesised, identified and screened for their antimicrobial activities against a number of different test organisms such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aureginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, En-terococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhimurium, Candida albicans (yeast). Results and Discussion: Benzimidazole derivatives (3a-d) were synthesised by using 4 different aminoacids. L-methionine, L-isoleucine, D-Phenylysine and L-Phenylamine as starting materials in the study. Experimental studies involve the use of benzimidazole derivatives (3a-d) of the selected amino acids to synthesize the benzoyl and naphthoyl derivatives of benzimidazole (4a-d, 5a-c). The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic analyses (FTIR,1H-NMR,13C-NMR) and elemental analysis. Conclusion: In this study, only one compound (5a) showed a low MIC value against the eukaryotic microorganism C. albicans. The other six compounds showed higher antimicrobial activities against the prokaryotes C. albicans which is a normal flora in the mouth but is one of the organisms that cause infections leading to the weakening of the human immune system. Compound 5a is a can-didate for future alternative antimicrobial drugs against C. albicans infections. In addition, compound 5a has a potential to be used as an inhibitor against P. aureginosa for the treatment of cyst-ic fibrosis.

Rhamnolipids are biodegradable low toxic biosurfactants which exert antimicrobial and anti-biofilm properties. They have attracted much attention recently due to potential applications in areas of bioremediation, therapeutics, cosmetics and agriculture, however, the full potential of these versatile molecules is yet to be explored. Based on the facts that many naturally occurring lipopeptides are potent antimicrobials, our study aimed to explore the potential of replacing rhamnose in rhamnolipids with amino acids thus creating lipopeptides that would mimic or enhance properties of the parent molecule. This would allow not only for more economical and greener production but also, due to the availability of structurally different amino acids, facile manipulation of physico-chemical and biological properties. Our synthetic efforts produced a library of 43 lipopeptides revealing biologically more potent molecules. The structural changes significantly increased, in particular, anti-biofilm properties against Candida albicans, although surface activity of the parent molecule was almost completely abolished. Our findings show that the most active compounds are leucine derivatives of 3-hydroxy acids containing benzylic ester functionality. The SAR study demonstrated a further increase in activity with aliphatic chain elongation. The most promising lipopeptides 15, 23 and 36 at 12.5 μg/mL concentration allowed only 14.3%, 5.1% and 11.2% of biofilm formation, respectively after 24 h. These compounds inhibit biofilm formation by preventing adhesion of C. albicans to abiotic and biotic surfaces.
