Antimicrobial resistance is spreading massively in the world and is becoming one of the main health threats of the 21st century. One of the possible strategies to overcome this problem is to modify the known classes of antibiotics in a rational way, with the aim of tuning their efficacy. In this paper, we present the synthesis and the evaluation of the biological activity of a series of two β-lactam bearing cephalosporin derivatives, in which an additional isolated azetidinone ring, bearing different substituents, is joined to the classical cephalosporanic nucleus by a chain of variable length. A computational approach has been also applied in order to predict the molecular interactions between some representative derivatives and selected penicillin-binding proteins, the natural targets of β-lactam antibiotics. All these derivatives are active against Gram-positive bacteria, with MIC100 comparable or even better than that of the reference antibiotic ceftriaxone, and show no or very low cytotoxic activity on different cell lines. Overall, these molecules appear to be able to exert their activity in particular against microorganisms belonging to some of the species more involved in the development of multidrug resistance.

Forty-nine samples of 3,4′/4,3′/3,3′-disubstituted benzylideneanilines (XBAYs) and 52 samples of multi-substituted XBAYs were synthesized, and their infrared absorption spectra were recorded in this paper. On the basis of the stretching vibration frequencies νC═N of C═N bridging bond of 158 samples of substituted XBAYs (including 57 samples of 4,4′-disubstituted XBAYs from reference and 101 samples of substituted XBAYs synthesized in this paper), an extensional research of substituent effects on the νC═N values from 4,4′-disubstituted XBAYs to multi-substituted XBAYs was made. A modified equation for quantifying the νC═N values of multi-substituted XBAYs was obtained (shown as Equation (3)). Equation (3) indicates that the excited-state substituent constant of Y and the substituent specific cross-interaction effect between X and X cannot be ignored for the quantitative regression analysis of the νC═N values of multi-substituted XBAYs. Compared with Equation (1), Equation (3) has a wider application and more accuracy in quantifying the νC═N values of substituted XBAYs.

Imines are ubiquitous intermediates in organic synthesis, and the metal-mediated imination of alcohols is one of the most direct and simple methods for their synthesis. However, reported protocols lack compatibility with many other functional groups since basic supports/media, pure oxygen atmospheres, and/or released hydrogen gas are required during reaction. Here we show that, in contrast to previous metal-catalyzed methods, hexa-aqueous Ru(III) catalyzes the imination of primary alcohols with very wide functional group tolerance, at slightly acid pH and under low oxygen atmospheres. The inorganic metal complex can be supported and stabilized, integrally, within either faujasite-type zeolites (Y and X) or a metal organic framework (MOF), to give a reusable heterogeneous catalyst which provides an industrially viable process well below the flammability limit of alcohols and amines.

The synthesis and the biological activity of novel semi-synthetic β-Lactam compounds containing an azetidinone moiety joined to the amino-nitrogen of the (+)-6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) as new antibacterial agents is reported. The synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against a panel of Gram positive and Gram negative pathogens and environmental bacteria. Tested compounds displayed good antimicrobial activity against all tested Gram positive bacteria and for Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis antimicrobial activity resulted higher than that of the reference antibiotic. Additionally, in vitro cytotoxic screening was also carried out indicating that the compounds do not cause a cell vitality reduction effective at concentration next to and above those shown to be antimicrobial.
Mono-deoxygenation of nitroalkanes, nitrones, and heterocyclic N-oxides by hexamethyldisilane through 1,2-elimination: Concept of 'counterattack reagent'

Transformation of secondary nitroalkanes to ketoximes was achieved in 40-73% yields by treatment of the corresponding nitronate anions with hexamethyldisilane. In this new mono-deoxygenation process, hexamethyldisilane acted as a 'counterattack reagent'. The conversion of nitrones to imines was also achieved in 82-88% yields by use of trimethylsilyllithium. Similarly, heterocyclic N-oxides were converted to the corresponding N-heterocycles in 73-86% yields. These deoxygenation processes presumably involve a 1,2-elimination.
