Idnhibition of antibacterial resistance by 3',4'-difluoroquercetin and its derivative
-
Paragraph 0097-0099, (2020/09/16)
The present invention relates to 3andprime;,4andprime;-difluoroquercetin having antibacterial activity on multiple drug resistant bacteria and a novel derivative thereof. A quercetin derivative compound of the present invention exhibits a significant antibacterial activity on Gram-positive multiple drug resistant bacteria, exhibits strong antibacterial activity only on Gram-negative multiple drug resistant bacteria, and a significant synergistic effect occurs when an antibiotic which does not have antibacterial activity or has low antibacterial activity and the compound of the present invention are mixed and treated in Gram-negative multiple drug resistant bacteria, thereby being able to exhibit an excellent antibacterial effect on Gram-positive multiple drug resistant bacteria, Gram-negative multiple drug resistant bacteria, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria thereof.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2020

This study reports a novel class of inhibitors of uridine 5′-diphosphate (UDP) galactopyranose mutase (UGM) derived from a screening of natural products. This enzyme is an essential biocatalyst involved in the cell wall biosynthesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Flavonoids are potent inhibitors of UGM. The synthesis of novel methylated flavonoids allowed a structure–activity relationship analysis to be performed and which functional groups and structural elements were required for UGM inhibition could be determined. The binding mode of one of the best inhibitors was found to be noncompetitive. Docking simulations indicated that this molecule was likely to bind UGM in its open conformation, in a cavity recently identified as a “druggable” pocket. Importantly, two of the best inhibitors of the M. tuberculosis UGM displayed moderate activity against whole M. tuberculosis cells. This study reports the first natural products that act as inhibitor of UGM. Given the importance of natural products in medicinal chemistry, these results create new opportunities for the discovery of new antitubercular agents.

Paragraph 0138; 0139; 0140; 0141, (2016/01/15)
A process for synthesis of enatiomerically pure or enatiomerically enriched or racemic mixture of (+and/or?) epicatechin echm and its intermediates, comprising the steps of: (i) obtaining penta-protected quercetin; (ii) reducing the penta-protected quercetin obtained from step (i); (iii) optionally deprotecting the compound of step (ii); (iv) reducing the compound obtained from step (ii) or step (iii) in the presence of a chiral/achiral reducing agent to obtain a chiral intermediate; (v) deprotecting and/or hydrogenation of the chiral intermediate obtained from step (iv) to obtain (?)-epicatechin; (vi) optionally simultaneously deprotecting and by drogenation of the compound obtained from step (ii) to obtain racemic epicatechin.
