Song, Jiangao,Hesse, Manfred
, p. 6797 - 6804 (1993)
A total synthesis of the spermidine alkaloid (±)-tetrahydromyricoidine (6) was achieved by using two ring enlargement reactions. The difficulties experienced in the second ring enlargement step, a transamidation reaction with a medium ring sized lactam bearing two bulky groups are discussed. These were overcome by altering the reaction sequence and the transamidation reaction was successfully carried out by at first deprotection of the Boc function. spermidine alkaloids; (±)-tetrahydromyricoidine; ring enlargement.

We synthesized all major saturated and unsaturated 2-alkyl-4(1H)-quinoloneN-oxides ofPseudomonasandBurkholderia, quantified their native production levels and characterized their antibiotic activities against competingStaphylococcus aureus. We demonstrate that quinolone core methylation and position of unsaturation in the alkyl-chain dictate antibiotic potency which supports the proposed mechanism of action.
Convergent Synthesis of Calcium-Dependent Antibiotic CDA3a and Analogues with Improved Antibacterial Activity via Late-Stage Serine Ligation

A convergent synthesis via the late-stage serine ligation of naturally occurring calcium-dependent antibiotic CDA3a and its analogues has been developed, which allowed us to readily synthesize the analogues with the variation on the lipid tail. Some analogues were found to show 100-500-fold higher antimicrobial activity than the natural compound CDA3a against drug resistant bacteria. This study will enhance our understanding of CDA3a and provide valuable antibacterial lead candidates for further development.

A small library of (E) α,β-unsaturated fatty acids was prepared, and 20 different saturated and mono-unsaturated fatty acids differing in chain length were subjected to Ellman's assays to determine their ability to act as inhibitors for AChE or BChE. While the compounds were only very weak inhibitors of BChE, seven molecules were inhibitors of AChE holding IC50 = 4.3–12.8 M with three of them as significant inhibitors of this enzyme. The results have shown trans 2-mono-unsaturated fatty acids are better inhibitors for AChE than their saturated analogs. Furthermore, the screening results indicate that the chain length is crucial for obtaining an inhibitory efficacy. The best results were obtained for (2E) eicosenoic acid (14) showing inhibition constants Ki = 1.51 ± 0.09 M and Ki′ = 7.15 ± 0.55 M. All tested compounds were mixed-type inhibitors with a dominating competitive part. Molecular modelling calculations indicate a different binding mode of active/inactive compounds for the enzymes AChE and BChE.
Synthesis of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes as potential substrates for bacterial luciferases
Brodl, Eveline,Ivkovic, Jakov,Tabib, Chaitanya R.,Breinbauer, Rolf,Macheroux, Peter
, p. 1487 - 1495 (2017/02/18)
Bacterial luciferase catalyzes the monooxygenation of long-chain aldehydes such as tetradecanal to the corresponding acid accompanied by light emission with a maximum at 490?nm. In this study even numbered aldehydes with eight, ten, twelve and fourteen carbon atoms were compared with analogs having a double bond at the α,β-position. These α,β-unsaturated aldehydes were synthesized in three steps and were examined as potential substrates in vitro. The luciferase of Photobacterium leiognathi was found to convert these analogs and showed a reduced but significant bioluminescence activity compared to tetradecanal. This study showed the trend that aldehydes, both saturated and unsaturated, with longer chain lengths had higher activity in terms of bioluminescence than shorter chain lengths. The maximal light intensity of (E)-tetradec-2-enal was approximately half with luciferase of P. leiognathi, compared to tetradecanal. Luciferases of Vibrio harveyi and Aliivibrio fisheri accepted these newly synthesized substrates but light emission dropped drastically compared to saturated aldehydes. The onset and the decay rate of bioluminescence were much slower, when using unsaturated substrates, indicating a kinetic effect. As a result the duration of the light emission is doubled. These results suggest that the substrate scope of bacterial luciferases is broader than previously reported.
An Unsaturated Quinolone N-Oxide of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Modulates Growth and Virulence of Staphylococcus aureus

The pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces over 50 different quinolones, 16 of which belong to the class of 2-alkyl-4-quinolone N-oxides (AQNOs) with various chain lengths and degrees of saturation. We present the first synthesis of a previously proposed unsaturated compound that is confirmed to be present in culture extracts of P. aeruginosa, and its structure is shown to be trans-Δ1-2-(non-1-enyl)-4-quinolone N-oxide. This compound is the most active agent against S. aureus, including MRSA strains, by more than one order of magnitude whereas its cis isomer is inactive. At lower concentrations, the compound induces small-colony variants of S. aureus, reduces the virulence by inhibiting hemolysis, and inhibits nitrate reductase activity under anaerobic conditions. These studies suggest that this unsaturated AQNO is one of the major agents that are used by P. aeruginosa to modulate competing bacterial species.
