In this study, we have designed and synthesized pyrazoline analogues that partially mimic the structure of mycobactin, to address the requirement of novel therapeutics to tackle the emerging global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Our investigation resulted in the identification of novel lead compounds 44 and 49 as potential mycobactin biosynthesis inhibitors against mycobacteria. Moreover, candidates efficiently eradicated intracellularly surviving mycobacteria. Thermofluorimetric analysis and molecular dynamics simulations suggested that compounds 44 and 49 bind to salicyl-AMP ligase (MbtA), a key enzyme in the mycobactin biosynthetic pathway. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first rationally designed mycobactin inhibitors to demonstrate an excellent in vivo pharmacokinetic profile. In addition, these compounds also exhibited more potent whole-cell efflux pump inhibition than known efflux pump inhibitors verapamil and chlorpromazine. Results from this study pave the way for the development of 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(aryl)-pyrazolines as a new weapon against superbug-associated AMR challenges.

Six 2’-hydroxychalcones were synthesized and characterized by NMR, FT-Raman, ATR-FTIR, and UV-Vis. These chalcones alone and in combination with the ciprofloxacin, penicillin, and erythromycin antibiotics were tested against multiresistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. It was also verified by in vitro and in silico studeis the capacity of these chalcones to inhibit the NorA efflux pump. The MICs values of ciprofloxacin were reduced in the presence of all tested chalcones. For norfloxacin antibiotic, the chalcones A1, A4, A5 and A6 promoted the reduced in the MIC values. The A2 chalcone was the only one to reduce the MIC values when associated with penicillin. Any chalcones were not able to reduce MIC values when associated with erythromycin. These results indicate that the synergistic effects demonstrated for the synthesized chalcones were influenced by the introduction of a furanic ring (A1), a chlorine atom and a methoxy group at the C4 position (A2 and A4), a second double bond (A5), and a fluorine atom at the C2 position (A6). The ADMET analysis predicts that the chalcones A2, A3, A5 and A6 have easier cell permeation. The nucleophilic region makes the A5 chalcone capable of covalently bonding with plasma proteins, and the presence of oxygenated aromatic substitutions makes the chalcones A1 and A4 more water-soluble and consequently easier to excrete. On the other hand, the substitution of the methoxy group of the A4 chalcone makes it more susceptible to O-demethylation reactions by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme. The molecular docking revealed that all six chalcones could hinder the binding of norfloxacin to the NorA efflux pump.

In this paper, a one-pot facile route for the BiCl3/RuCl3-mediated synthesis of functionalized flavones is described, including: (i) intermolecularortho-acylation of substituted phenols with cinnamoyl chlorides, and (ii) intramolecular cyclodehydrogenation of the resultingo-hydroxychalcones. The reaction conditions are discussed herein.

Herein, we report substituent-controlled divergent cascade cycloaddition reactions of chalcones and arylalkynols in the presence of PtI2. Depending on the substituent on the chalcone, either spiroketals or oxa-bridged fused heterocycles could be obtained in the ranges of 86–97% and 87–95% yields under identical reaction conditions. Control experiments were carried out to elucidate the origin of the high chemoselectivity. These provide a method for the synthesis of a diverse array of structurally complex oxygen-containing heterocycles. (Figure presented.).

Introduction: An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favour of oxidants, potentially leading to damage, is termed oxidative stress. Antioxidants (AO), either enzymatic or non-enzymatic, are the ones that can reduce diverse effects of pro-oxidan

In this work, the first example of a radical stereodivergent reaction directed towards the stereoselective synthesis of both (R*,R*)- and (R*,S*)-2,2′-biflavanones promoted by samarium diiodide is reported. Control experiments showed that the selectivity of this reaction was exclusively controlled by the temperature. It was possible to generate a variety of 2,2′-biflavanones bearing different substitution patterns at the aromatic ring in good-to-quantitative yields, being both stereoisomers of the desired compounds obtained with total or high control of selectivity. A mechanism that explains both the generation of the corresponding 2,2′-biflavanones and the selectivity is also discussed. The structure and stereochemistry determination of each isomer was unequivocally elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments.
