Bacterial communication, termed Quorum Sensing (QS), is a promising target for virulence attenuation and the treatment of bacterial infections. Infections cause inflammation, a process regulated by a number of cellular factors, including the transcription Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB); this factor is found to be upregulated in many inflammatory diseases, including those induced by bacterial infection. In this study, we tested 32 synthetic derivatives of coumaperine (CP), a known natural compound found in pepper (Piper nigrum), for Quorum Sensing Inhibition (QSI) and NF-κB inhibitory activities. Of the compounds tested, seven were found to have high QSI activity, three inhibited bacterial growth and five inhibited NF-κB. In addition, some of the CP compounds were active in more than one test. For example, compounds CP-286, CP-215 and CP-158 were not cytotoxic, inhibited NF-κB activation and QS but did not show antibacterial activity. CP-154 inhibited QS, decreased NF-κB activation and inhibited bacterial growth. Our results indicate that these synthetic molecules may provide a basis for further development of novel therapeutic agents against bacterial infections.

Paragraph 0050-0052, (2018/10/16)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method which can get α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid at a high yield by liquid phase oxidation of α,β-unsaturated aldehyde by oxygen or air with a handy metal catalyst under a mild reaction condition. SOLUTION: Preferably under a presence of organic solvent, α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid is manufactured by oxidation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and oxygen or air under a presence of an iron salt catalyst and a catalyst of alkali metal salt of carboxylic acid.

DMDO epoxidation of bromoallenes gives directly α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids under the reaction conditions. Calculated (ωB97XD/6- 311G(d,p)/SCRF = acetone) potential energy surfaces and 2H- and 13C-labeling experiments are consistent with bromoallene oxide intermediates which spontaneously rearrange via a bromocyclopropanone in an intersecting bromoallene oxide-Favorskii manifold.
