Anti-virulence strategy is currently considered a promising approach to overcome the global threat of the antibiotic resistance. Among different bacterial virulence factors, the biofilm formation is recognized as one of the most relevant. Considering the high and growing percentage of multi-drug resistant infections that are biofilm-mediated, new therapeutic agents capable of counteracting the formation of biofilms are urgently required. In this scenario, a new series of 18 thiazole derivatives was efficiently synthesized and evaluated for its ability to inhibit biofilm formation against the Gram-positive bacterial reference strains Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and S. aureus ATCC 6538 and the Gram-negative strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442. Most of the new compounds showed a marked selectivity against the Gram-positive strains. Remarkably, five compounds exhibited BIC50 values against S. aureus ATCC 25923 ranging from 1.0 to 9.1 μM. The new compounds, affecting the biofilm formation without any interference on microbial growth, can be considered promising lead compounds for the development of a new class of anti-virulence agents.

Two new narrow bandgap D-A conjugated copolymers P1 and P2 containing different fused thiophene donor unit and same benzothiadiazole acceptor unit were synthesized by Stille cross-coupling polymerization, and characterized by 1H NMR, elemental analysis and GPC, TGA, DSC. Cyclic voltammetry measurement showed that the HOMO energy level both copolymers is deep lying (-5.10 and -5.35 eV for P1 and P2, respectively) which show that copolymers has good stability in the air and assured a higher open circuit voltage when it photovoltaic application. These copolymer were used as donor along with PC71BM and the BHJ polymer solar cells based on P1:PC71BM and P2:PC71BM processed with chloroform (CF) solvent showed over all PCE of 4.54% and 4.36%, respectively. Additionally, the PCE was improved up to 5.62% and 5.24% for P1:PC71BM and P2:PC71BM active layer processed with DIO (4 v%)/CF solvent. The enhancement in the PCE has been attributed to improved nanoscale morphology and crystalline nature of active layer as well as charge transport in the device with the addition of DIO, due to the higher boiling point of DIO causing slow evaporation rate during the film formation.

Herein, we report a novel stepwise addition-controlled ring size method, to access tetrahydropyrimidines through an operationally simple [3 + 3] cycloaddition of vinylethylene carbonates with triazinanes. Interestingly, we could also use this method for a [3 + 3] oxidative cycloaddition, which allows the facile synthesis of polysubstituted terphenyls under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that vinylethylene carbonates could generate α,β-unsaturated aldehydes as 3-carbon synthons for cycloaddition via a combination process of Pd-catalyzed decarboxylation and β-H elimination.

A highly efficient heterogeneous gold(I)-catalyzed hydration of haloalkynes has been developed that proceeds smoothly under mild and neutral conditions and provides a general and practical route for the synthesis of a variety of α-halomethyl ketones with high atom-economy, excellent yield, and recyclability of the gold(I) catalyst. The presented method delivers an attractive alternative to classical α-halogenation of ketones.
