The low yielding addition of organolithium reagents to acridone becomes a convenient high yielding route to 9-alkyl and 9-arylacridines when SEM-acridone is used.

With the increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance, new antibacterial agents having novel mechanisms of action hence are in an urgent need to combat infectious diseases caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. Four novel series of substituted 9-arylalkyl-10-methylacridinium derivatives as FtsZ inhibitors were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activities against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The results demonstrated that they exhibited broad-spectrum activities with substantial efficacy against MRSA and VRE, which were superior or comparable to the berberine, sanguinarine, linezolid, ciprofloxacin and vancomycin. In particular, the most promising compound 15f showed rapid bactericidal properties, which avoid the emergence of drug resistance. However, 15f showed no inhibitory effect on Gram-negative bacteria but biofilm formation study gave possible answers. Further target identification and mechanistic studies revealed that 15f functioned as an effective FtsZ inhibitor to alter the dynamics of FtsZ self-polymerization, which resulted in termination of the cell division and caused cell death. Further cytotoxicity and animal studies demonstrated that 15f not only displayed efficacy in a murine model of bacteremia in vivo, but also no significant hemolysis to mammalian cells. Overall, this compound with novel skeleton could serve as an antibacterial lead of FtsZ inhibitor for further evaluation of drug-likeness.
Tert-Butyl Bromide-Promoted Intramolecular Cyclization of 2-Arylamino Phenyl Ketones and Its Combination with Cu-Catalyzed C-N Coupling: Synthesis of Acridines at Room Temperature

Herein, a facile intramolecular cyclization of 2-arylamino phenyl ketones is established to supersede the traditional high-temperature, strongly acidic conditions and achieve 9-substituted acridines, by virtue of the combination of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and tert-butyl bromide. This protocol can be merged well with the preceding Cu-catalyzed intermolecular Chan-Evans-Lam cross-coupling reactions, therefore enabling pot-economic modular synthesis of 9-substituted acridines from readily available 2-amino phenyl ketones and aryl boronic acids at room temperature.
