The natural product albicidin is a highly potent inhibitor of bacterial DNA gyrase. Its outstanding activity, particularly against Gram-negative pathogens, qualifies it as a promising lead structure in the search for new antibacterial drugs. However, as we show here, the N-terminal cinnamoyl moiety of albicidin is susceptible to photochemical E/Z isomerization. Moreover, the newly formed Z isomer exhibits significantly reduced antibacterial activity, which hampers the development and biological evaluation of albicidin and potent derivatives thereof. Hence, we synthesized 13 different variants of albicidin in which the vulnerable para-coumaric acid moiety was replaced; this yielded photostable analogues. Biological activity assays revealed that diaryl alkyne analogues exhibited virtually undiminished antibacterial efficacy. This promising scaffold will therefore serve as a blueprint for the design of a potent albicidin-based drug.

The last decade has witnessed the exploration of exceptional optoelectronic and photovoltaic properties of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) at the laboratory scale. Unfortunately, their sensitivity to moisture causes bulk degradation, hindering the commercialization of PSC devices. Despite the numerous strategies that have been developed to date in this field, effective passivation against moisture remains highly challenging. Here, we report a novel approach based on the incorporation of polyacetylene derivatives into the perovskite active layer to yield perovskite films with larger grains, lower defect density, and excellent robustness with respect to moisture. Moreover, it is revealed that the reduced trap-state density of these films is most likely due to the efficient coordination between the carboxylate moieties in the polymer and the undercoordinated Pb2+ in the perovskite. Upon adopting the polymer-doped perovskite as an active layer in inverted planar heterojunction PSCs with all-inorganic charge extraction layers, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) is improved to 20.41%, which is the highest value reported to date for this type of PSC to the best of our knowledge. Most importantly, the optimized device retained 90% of its initial PCE after aging in ambient air for 60 days due to its dual mechanism of moisture resistance. This work highlights an approach for developing high-performance PSCs with improved moisture stability and paves the way for their potential commercialization. This journal is
