The selective oxidation of α,α-diglycerol was studied using oxygen as a clean oxidant in the presence of a palladium/neocuproine complex. After optimization of the reaction parameters, the mono-oxidation product was obtained with 93% NMR yield (up to 76% isolated yield). The product was named “diglycerose” considering that it mainly exists as a cyclic hemi-ketal form.

Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria constitute a global health concern. Helicobacter py-lori is a Gram‐negative bacterium that infects about half of the human population and is a major cause of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Increasing resistance to triple and quadruple H. pylori eradication therapies poses great challenges and urges the development of novel, ideally narrow spectrum, antimicrobials targeting H. pylori. Here, we describe the antimicrobial spectrum of a family of nitrobenzoxadiazol‐based antimicrobials initially discovered as inhibitors of flavodoxin: an essential H. pylori protein. Two groups of inhibitors are described. One group is formed by nar-row‐spectrum compounds, highly specific for H. pylori, but ineffective against enterohepatic Helico-bacter species and other Gram‐negative or Gram‐positive bacteria. The second group includes ex-tended‐spectrum antimicrobials additionally targeting Gram‐positive bacteria, the Gram‐negative Campylobacter jejuni, and most Helicobacter species, but not affecting other Gram‐negative pathogens. To identify the binding site of the inhibitors in the flavodoxin structure, several H. pylori‐flavodoxin variants have been engineered and tested using isothermal titration calorimetry. An initial study of the inhibitors capacity to generate resistances and of their synergism with antimicrobials commonly used in H. pylori eradication therapies is described. The narrow‐spectrum inhibitors, which are ex-pected to affect the microbiota less dramatically than current antimicrobial drugs, offer an oppor-tunity to develop new and specific H. pylori eradication combinations to deal with AMR in H. pylori. On the other hand, the extended‐spectrum inhibitors constitute a new family of promising antimi-crobials, with a potential use against AMR Gram‐positive bacterial pathogens.

Monosubstituted ureas are important scaffolds in organic chemistry. They appear in various biologically active compounds and serve as versatile precursors in synthesis. Monosubstituted ureas were originally prepared using toxic and hazardous phosgene equivalents. Modern methods include transamidation of urea and nucleophilic addition to cyanate salts, both of which suffer from a narrow substrate scope due to the need for a strong acid and prolonged reaction times. We hereby report that ammonium chloride can promote the reaction between amines and potassium cyanate to generate monosubstituted ureas in water. This method proceeds rapidly under microwave irradiation and tolerates a broad range of functional groups. Unlike previous strategies, it is compatible with other nucleophiles, acid-labile moieties, and most of the common protecting groups. The products precipitate out of solution, allowing facile isolation without column chromatography.

Thiazoles are important heterocyclic motifs in many target molecules. Extension of a reported gold(I)-catalyzed oxidative coupling of alkynes and thioamides to the synthesis of functionalized thiazole-containing products is presented, including the compatibility of this reaction with ester, protected hydroxyl, alkene and thioether groups. The utility of this one-pot process is demonstrated in the preparation of the thiazole-containing macrodiolide of a simplified analogue of pateamine A.
Synthesis of glycerol-derived 4-alkyl-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles and evaluation of their fungicidal, phytotoxic, and antiproliferative activities

Herein, the synthesis of nine novel glycerol-derived 4-alkyl-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles, using the CuI-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction as the key step, is reported. The triazoles were characterized by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR 1H and 13C) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The nine prepared compounds were evaluated with regard to their phytotoxic, antiproliferative, and fungicidal activities. The fungicidal activity was assessed on Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, the causative agent of papaya anthracnose. All compounds presented high efficiency (comparable to the commercial fungicide tebuconazole) in inhibiting C. gloeosporioides sporulation. The phytotoxicity of the triazoles was assessed against Lactuca sativa. Germination was the less-affected parameter, whereas the most pronounced effects of the triazoles were on the germination speed index and root growth of the L. sativa seedlings. As indicators of antiproliferative activity, the mitotic index was evaluated along with chromosomal and nuclear alterations, all of which were influenced to different degrees by the triazoles. In addition, all derivatives demonstrated aneugenic and clastogenic actions in meristematic cells of L. sativa roots. Therefore, these 4-alkyl-substituted triazoles may represent a scaffold to be explored for the development of new fungicidal agents.

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a complex chronic pain state with a prevalence of almost 10% in the general population. Pharmacological options for NP are limited and weakly effective, so there is a need to develop more efficacious NP attenuating drugs. Activation of the type 1 lysophosphatidic acid (LPA1) receptor is a crucial factor in the initiation of NP. Hence, it is conceivable that a functional antagonism strategy could lead to NP mitigation. Here we describe a new series of LPA1 agonists among which derivative (S)-17 (UCM-05194) stands out as the most potent and selective LPA1 receptor agonist described so far (Emax = 118%, EC50 = 0.24 μM, KD = 19.6 nM; inactive at autotaxin and LPA2-6 receptors). This compound induces characteristic LPA1-mediated cellular effects and prompts the internalization of the receptor leading to its functional inactivation in primary sensory neurons and to an efficacious attenuation of the pain perception in an in vivo model of NP.

Itraconazole, a widely used antifungal drug, was found to possess antiangiogenic activity and is currently undergoing multiple clinical trials for the treatment of different types of cancer. However, it suffers from extremely low solubility and strong interactions with many drugs through inhibition of CYP3A4, limiting its potential as a new antiangiogenic and anticancer drug. To address these issues, a series of analogs in which the phenyl group is replaced with pyridine or fluorine-substituted benzene was synthesized. Among them the pyridine- and tetrazole-containing compound 24 has significantly improved solubility and reduced CYP3A4 inhibition compared to itraconazole. Similar to itraconazole, compound 24 inhibited the AMPK/mTOR signaling axis and the glycosylation of VEGFR2. It also induced cholesterol accumulation in the endolysosome and demonstrated binding to the sterol-sensing domain of NPC1 in a simulation study. These results suggested that compound 24 may serve as an attractive candidate for the development of a new generation of antiangiogenic drug.

A number of new membrane anchors based on water-soluble aminoglycerides with geraniol fragments have been synthesized. A biomimetic approach was used based on the design of meroterpenes structurally similar to archaeal lipids. Turbidimetry and laser Doppler microelectrophoresis showed that the synthesized compounds were incorporated into unilamellar dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) vesicles.
