Our prior studies showed that polyhydroxylated styrylquinolines are potent HIV-1 integrase (IN) inhibitors that block the replication of HIV-1 in cell culture at nontoxic concentrations. To explore the mechanism of action of these inhibitors, various novel styrylquinoline derivatives were synthesized and tested against HIV-1 IN and in cell-based assays. Regarding the in vitro experiments, the structural requirements for biological activity are a carboxyl group at C-7, a hydroxyl group at C-8 in the quinoline subunit, and an ancillary phenyl ring. However the in vitro inhibitory profile tolerates deep alterations of this ring, e.g. by the introduction of various substituents or its replacement by heteroatomic nuclei. Regarding the ex vivo assays, the structural requirements for activity are more stringent than for in vitro inhibition. Thus, in addition to an o-hydroxy acid group in the quinoline, the presence of one ortho pair of substituents at C-3' and C- 4', particularly two hydroxyl groups, in the ancillary phenyl ring is imperatively required for inhibitory potency. Starting from literature data and the SARs developed in this work, a putative binding mode of styrylquinoline inhibitors to HIV-1 IN was derived.
Identification of an extracellular bacterial flavoenzyme that can prevent re-polymerisation of lignin fragments

A significant problem in the oxidative breakdown of lignin is the tendency of phenolic radical fragments to re-polymerise to form higher molecular weight species. In this paper we identify an extracellular flavin-dependent dehydrolipoamide dehydrogenase from Thermobifida fusca that prevents oxidative dimerization of a dimeric lignin model compound, which could be used as an accessory enzyme for lignin depolymerisation.

The first synthesis of natural phenolic amides, tabamides A–C (1–3), and their derivatives (4–12) was accomplished using Stobbe condensation and amide coupling reactions as key steps. The in vitro nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory effects of these compounds in LPS-induced RAW-264.7 macrophages were evaluated as an indicator of anti-inflammatory activity. All compounds tested had a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on NO production by RAW-264.7 macrophages without significant cytotoxicity. Compound 6, a tabamide A derivative (IC50 = 82.6 μM), followed by tabamide A (1, IC50 = 100.7 μM), was the most potent from the series. The present study revealed that tabamide A (1) could be considered as a lead structure to develop NO production-targeted anti-inflammatory agents.
Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of trans -Dihydronarciclasine Analogues

Several new trans -dihydronarciclasine analogues were stereo selectively synthesised by applying our feasible and efficient process developed recently. These new phenanthridone alkaloid derivatives were obtained in both racemic and optically active forms. During their enantioselective syntheses, high selectivities (up to 99% ee) were achieved by using (8 S,9 S)-9-amino(9-deoxy)epiquinine as an organocatalyst. The modifications, the introduction of ethoxy or methoxy groups, were made in ring A of the phenanthridone scaffold.
