Biologically active phenyl[3-(3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienyl)-2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl]methanone (2) and phenyl[2,4,6-trihydroxy-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)phenyl]methanone (3) were synthesized by an efficient and convenient synthetic sequence. The reaction steps of this synthesis included methylation, Friedel-Crafts acylation, demethylation and geranylation steps.

In this study, an effective route to synthesize fluorine-containing prenylated benzophenones was developed. Friedel–Crafts acylation and electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions were the key reactions of this synthesis to achieve these fluorinated prenylated benzophenones. The use of DBU in the prenylation step achieved only the C-prenylated benzophenones, whereas K2CO3 produced the C- and O-prenylated benzophenones.

Natural products represent a rich source of antibiotics that address versatile cellular targets. The deconvolution of their targets via chemical proteomics is often challenged by the introduction of large photocrosslinkers. Here we applied elegaphenone, a largely uncharacterized natural product antibiotic bearing a native benzophenone core scaffold, for affinity-based protein profiling (AfBPP) in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This study utilizes the alkynylated natural product scaffold as a probe to uncover intriguing biological interactions with the transcriptional regulator AlgP. Furthermore, proteome profiling of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa AlgP transposon mutant provided unique insights into the mode of action. Elegaphenone enhanced the elimination of intracellular P. aeruginosa in macrophages exposed to sub-inhibitory concentrations of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic norfloxacin.
