Acridinium-conjugated aromatic heterocycles as highly potent FtsZ inhibitors: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation

The epidemic of multidrug resistance (MDR) is a serious threat to public health, and new classes of antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action are in critical need. We rationally designed and efficiently synthesized three series of new chemical entities with potential antibacterial activity targeting filamenting temperature-sensitive mutant Z (FtsZ). Evaluation of these compounds against a panel of Gram-positive bacteria including MDR and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus?strains indicated that most compounds showed enhanced antibacterial efficacy, comparable or even superior to the reference drugs. The newly synthesized compounds proved to be substrates of the Escherichia coli efflux pump AcrB, thus affecting the activity. Their structure–activity relationships?were summarized in detail. The most potent compound 10f quickly eliminated bacteria in a bactericidal mode, with low susceptibility to induce bacterial resistance. Further mechanistic studies with the BsFtsZ protein revealed that 10f functioned as an effective FtsZ inhibitor through altering the dynamics of FtsZ self-polymerization via a stimulatory mechanism, which leads to inhibition of cell division and cell death. Besides, 10f not only displayed no obvious cytotoxicity to mammalian cells but also had a high efficacy in a murine model of bacteremia in vivo. Regarded as a whole, our findings highlight 10f as a promising new FtsZ-targeting bactericidal agent.

N-alkylated linear heptamethine polyenes as potent non-azole leads against Candida albicans fungal infections

In this study, eighteen heptamethine dyes were synthesised and their antifungal activities were evaluated against three clinically relevant yeast species. The eighteen dyes were placed within classes based on their core subunit i.e. 2,3,3-trimethylindolenine (5a-f), 1,1,2-trimethyl-1H-benzo[e]indole (6a-f), or 2-methylbenzothiazole (7a-f). The results presented herein imply that the three families of cyanine dyes, in particular compounds 5a-f, show high potential as selective scaffolds to treat C. albicans infections. This opens up the opportunity for further optimisation and investigation of this class compounds for potential antifungal treatment.

Fluorescent dye, preparation method and applications thereof

The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a fluorescent dye, a preparation method and applications thereof, wherein the fluorescent dye has a structural general formula represented by a formula I defined in the specification, X and Y are the same or different O, S, C(CH3)2 or NR6, R2 and R3 are the same or different hydrogen or functional groups, R1, R4, R5 and R6 are all functional groups, and Z is a negative ion. According to the present invention, the fluorescent dye has living cell membrane permeability, can be used for fluorescence imaging of living cell microstructures, and can obtain STED super-resolution fluorescence imaging, laser confocal imaging and other fluorescence imaging of living cells.

Red-Fluorescent activatable probes for the detection of hydrogen peroxide in living cells

Many inflammatory processes are associated with an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Chemical probes that specifically detect ROS are potentially useful tools for the early diagnosis of inflammatory diseases as well as cancer. Herein we have developed a library of coumarin hybrids by condensation of various heterocyclic quaternary salts to a 7-hydroxycoumarin scaffold. From our library we identified one benzothiazole-coumarin hybrid as a red-fluorescent compound with emission maxima around 620 nm and a strong fluorogenic response. Furthermore, we proved that this scaffold is suitable for the preparation of activatable probes, such as by modification with a boronate group for selective sensing of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). In vitro assays confirmed the reactivity and subsequent emission of our probe upon incubation with H2 O2 with good selectivity over different ROS and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) as well as minimal toxicity in cells. Finally cell imaging experiments were performed in murine macrophages and validated the utility of the activatable probe for the detection of H2 O2 in living cells.

Promising near-infrared non-targeted probes: Benzothiazole heptamethine cyanine dyes

A series of benzothiazole heptamethine cyanine dyes have been synthesized and their photophysical properties evaluated in relation to their structural features. These have been compared against two classical probes of this type: Indocyanine Green (IGC) and New Indocyanine Green (IR-820). Growth inhibitory studies were also performed using a eukaryotic, unicellular organism, fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Herein we highlight some potentially interesting candidates with improved fluorescence quantum yields when compared with ICG and IR-820.

PROCESS FOR DYE PRODUCTION

The present invention relates to a process for the production of certain compounds, especially dye compounds defined in general by Formula I: The invention provides a one-step method in which a compound of Formula II or a reactive intermediate derived in situ therefrom is reacted in situ with a compound of Formula III (optionally in the presence of a compound of Formula IV) to produce compounds of Formula I in excellent yield, and in a manner which avoids undesirable by- product formation.

N-Alkylated 2,3,3-trimethylindolenines and 2-methylbenzothiazoles. Potential lead compounds in the fight against Saccharomyces cerevisiae infections Dedication in memory of the late Derek Bennett 17-07-1931 to 05-04-2013.

The synthesis of a variety of N-alkylated 2,3,3-trimethylindolenines and 2-methylbenzothiazoles is reported herein. Their potential as antifungal agents is evaluated by preliminary screening against Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae), Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe), and Candida albicans (C. albicans). Statistical analyses illustrate a strong relationship between chain length and growth inhibition for S. cerevisiae and S. pombe (p 0.0001 in every case). Of particular interest is the activity of both sets of compounds against S. cerevisiae, as this is emerging as an opportunistic pathogen, especially in immunosuppressed and immunocompromised patients. Bioassays were set up to compare the efficacy of our range of N-alkylated compounds against classic antifungal agents; Amphotericin B and Thiabendazole.
