Emollient, humectant, and fluorescent α,β-unsaturated thiol esters for long-acting skin applications

, p. 265 - 270 (2008)
We describe compounds in which an emollient or a humectant bears an α,β-unsaturated thiol ester capable of reacting with nucleophilic amino acids in stratum corneum proteins. These compounds should serve as long-lasting moisturizers for skin. The emollient derivatized was octadecyl propanoate, and the humectant was poly(ethylene glycol). These hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds, as well as a fluorescent, dansyl-containing thiol ester, were found to react within minutes with the thiol N-acetylcysteamine upon addition of a catalytic amount of an organic base in chloroform. The structures of the products resulting from conjugate addition to the unsaturated thiol esters were determined by NMR spectroscopy. In the case of the α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated (sorboyl) thiol ester, both the 1,4-addition product and the β,γ-unsaturated-1,6-addition product formed, followed by diadduct. An in vivo test of the fluorescent α,β-unsaturated thiol ester showed that this compound persisted on skin for 3 weeks vs. 6 days for the non-bonding control compound.

Herein, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the water-friendly S-sulphonate group as an alternative to traditional thiol protecting groups for subsequent deprotection-bioconjugation reactions, under conditions that are compatible with the use of biochemic

We synthesized cationic random amphiphilic copolymers by radical copolymerization of methacrylate monomers with cationic or hydrophobic groups and evaluated their antimicrobial and hemolytic activities. The nature of the hydrophobic groups, and polymer co
Pharmacological evaluation of disulfiram analogs as antimicrobial agents and their application as inhibitors of fosB-mediated fosfomycin resistance

Disulfide analogs of the alcohol sobriety medication disulfiram (Antabuse) were evaluated for antimicrobial activity. Structure-activity relationship analyses of MIC data obtained for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other pathogenic organisms revealed correlations between the lipophilicity and bulkiness of the substituents. Analogs conferring optimal anti-MRSA activity contained S-octyl disulfides and either N,N-dimethyl- or N-pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate substituents. Additional testing revealed that both disulfiram and its S-octyl derivative are capable of sensitizing?S. aureus to the bactericidal effects of fosfomycin. Mechanistic studies established that the compounds decrease intracellular levels of the fosB cofactor bacillithiol through a thiol-disulfide exchange reaction. The increased fosfomycin susceptibility?in S. aureus?was thereby attributed to a depleted cellular bacillithiol pool available for inactivation?by fosB.

Paragraph 0030-0032; 0033-0035, (2020/07/02)
The invention provides a sulfydryl-containing fluorescent compound or a thioester derivative thereof and preparation and application thereof. The sulfydryl-containing fluorescent compound or the thioester derivative of the sulfydryl-containing fluorescent compound can emit strong fluorescence, the compund can directly react with nitric oxide or specifically and rapidly react with nitric oxide after the ester group is removed so as to generate the weak fluorescence product, and the quenched fluorescence can be gradually recovered to the initial level when the nitric oxide concentration is reduced so as to achieve the reversibility and the real-time dynamic detection on nitric oxide. The fluorescent probe is good in stability and can be stored and used for a long time; the detection signal-to-noise ratio is high, and the sensitivity is good; the compound has the advantages of good selectivity, good biofilm permeability, rapid detection reaction and reversibility of detection response andis suitable for real-time dynamic observation of endogenous nitric oxide in organisms such as solutions, intracellular organisms and living tissues. The structural formula of sulfydryl-containing fluorescent compound or the thioester derivative thereof is shown in the specification.

A technically simple approach for rapid, high-yielding and site-selective bioconjugation has been developed for both in vitro and cellular applications. This method involves the generation of maleimido-phosphonium ylides via 4-nitrophenol catalysis under physiological conditions followed by their Wittig reactions with aldehyde-appended biomolecules.

Siderophores, such as enterobactin (Ent), are small molecules that can be selectively imported into bacteria along with iron by cognate transporters. Siderophore conjugates are thus a promising strategy for delivering functional reagents into bacteria. In this work, we present an easy-to-perform, one-pot chemoenzymatic synthesis of functionalized monoglucosylated enterobactin (MGE). When functionalized MGE is conjugated to a rhodamine fluorophore, which affords RhB-Glc-Ent, it can selectively label Gram-negative bacteria that utilize Ent, including some E. coli strains and P. aeruginosa. V. cholerae, a bacterium that utilizes linearized Ent, can also be weakly targeted. Moreover, the targeting is effective under iron-limiting but not iron-rich conditions. Our results suggest that the RhB-Glc-Ent probe is sensitive not only to the bacterial strain but also to the iron condition in the environment.

Fluorophore-labeled S-nitrosothiols

, p. 6064 - 6073 (2007/10/03)
A series of fluorophore-labeled S-nitrosothiols were synthesized, and their fluorescence enhancements upon removal of the nitroso (NO) group were evaluated either by transnitrosation or by photolysis. It was shown-that, with a suitable alkyl linker, the fluorescence intensity of dansyl-labeled S-nitrosothiols could be enhanced up to 30-fold. The observed fluorescence enhancement was attributed to the intramolecular energy transfer from fluorophore to the SNO moiety. Ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that the "overlap" between the SNO moiety and the dansyl ring is favored because of their stabilizing interaction, which was in turn affected by both the length of the alkyl linker and the rigidity of the sulfonamide unit. In addition, one of the dansyl-labeled S-nitrosothiols was used to explore the kinetics of S-nitrosothiol/thiol transnitrosation and was evaluated as a fluorescence probe of S-nitrosothiol-bound NO transfer in human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
