Onychomycosis is a common nail infection mainly caused by species belonging to the F. oxysporum, F. solani, and F. fujikuroi species complexes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro susceptibility of six representative strains of clinically relevant Fusarium spp. toward a set of natural-occurring hydroxycinnamic acids and their derivatives with the purpose to develop naturally occurring products in order to cope with emerging resistance phenomena. By introducing a prenylated chain at one of the hydroxy groups of trans-cinnamic acids 1–3, ten prenylated derivatives (coded 4–13) were preliminarily investigated in solid Fusarium minimal medium (FMM). Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and lethal dose 50 (LD50) values were then determined in liquid FMM for the most active selected antifungal p-coumaric acid 3,3′-dimethyl allyl ester 13, in comparison with the conventional fungicides terbinafine (TRB) and amphotericin B (AmB), through the quantification of the fungal growth. Significant growth inhibition was observed for prenylated derivatives 4–13, evidencing ester 13 as the most active. This compound presented MIC and LD50 values (62–250 μM and 7.8–125 μM, respectively) comparable to those determined for TRB and AmB in the majority of the tested pathogenic strains. The position and size of the prenylated chain and the presence of a free phenol OH group appear crucial for the antifungal activity. This work represents the first report on the activity of prenylated cinnamic esters and ethers against clinical Fusarium spp. and opens new avenues in the development of alternative antifungal compounds based on a drug repositioning strategy.

A convenient 4-step synthesis of calceolarioside-B 1 and eutigoside-A 2 in high overall yield is described. The key step involved the regioselective, Me2SnCl2-catalyzed O-6 acylation of unprotected 2-phenylethyl-β-D-glucosides 5a–b with cinnamoyl chlorides 6a–b in excellent yields. Acylation at O-6 is selective with the acid chlorides used. This work serves as a model for the convenient synthesis of phenylpropanoid glycosides acylated at O-6.

The peptide antibiotic albicidin, which is synthesized by the plant pathogenic bacterium, Xanthomonas albilineans, represents the most prominent member of a new class of antibacterial gyrase inhibitors. It shows remarkable antibacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. Its unique structure potentially represents a new lead structure for the development of an antibacterial drug. Here we report the synthesis of 14 albicidin derivatives with structural variations at the N-terminus, primarily investigating the effects of variation of cinnamoyl, phenylpropanoyl, and benzoyl residues. Gyrase inhibition in vitro and determination of minimal inhibitory concentrations were assessed in parallel. Activities in a nanomolar range and the importance of N-acylation were demonstrated.

Efficient and expeditious syntheses are described for rosmarinic acid (1) and its derivatives 2-4, making extensive use of allyl protective groups for both carboxylic acids and phenolic building blocks. (+)(R)-Rosmarinic acid was obtained by a chemoenzymatic resolution of its phenyl lactic acid precursors.
