Antimicrobial toxicity studies of ionic liquids leading to a 'hit' MRSA selective antibacterial imidazolium salt

Imidazolium salts can be classed as surfactants, detergents, ionic liquids, reagents, catalysts or solvents. A study of the toxicity and ecotoxicity of these salts yields valuable information for their use as pharmaceuticals as well as impact on the environment. Our approach to screen a series of chiral imidazolium salts for toxicity to bacteria and fungi, including clinical pathogen strains, has led to the identification of a 'hit' MRSA selective antimicrobial compound. Preliminary structure-activity-relationship (SAR) information (required position of l-phenylalanine and l-valine group) is also elucidated within this first generation of compounds. Conversely, most of the imidazolium salts were nontoxic (IC95 > 2 mM) to the 12 fungi strains and 8 bacteria strains screened, and we propose that they are suitable candidates for 'green chemistry' applications. Ecotoxicity studies (Biodegradation ISO 14593 'CO2 Headspace Test') of two bromide ionic liquids containing l-phenylalanine residues indicate that these ionic liquids passed the test (>60% in 28 days) and classed as readily biodegradable.

Microwave-assisted synthesis of 2,5-piperazinediones under solvent-free conditions

A general, efficient and environmentally friendly procedure for the synthesis of 2,5-piperazinediones is described, involving the microwave irradiation of N-Boc dipeptide esters. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

β-lactam derivatives as enzyme inhibitors: Derivatives of (E)-2-[(RS)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxo-4-phenylazetidin-3-ylidene]propionic acid

The 1,4-diaryl disubstituted azetidin-2-one (β-lactam) 1 is transformed into the 3-methylidene derivative (E)-2-[(RS)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxo-4-phenylazetidin-3-ylidene]propionic acid (3), and then, using the DCC/NHS method reacted with amino acid esters and dipeptide esters forming 3-(peptidyl)-β-lactams 5 and 7. Structures and properties are evaluated mainly by spectroscopic methods and discussed. As molecular modeling experiments might suggest a potential activity as inhibitors of PPE(HLE), a number of selected compounds has been tested in an enzyme assay. But none of them showed any remarkable inhibitory activity. Evaluation of the data was done with the new program EnKinPlot.
