The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) comprises a group of 24 species, many which are opportunistic pathogens immunocompromised patients and also widely distributed in agricultural soils. Several Bcc strains synthesize strain-specific antagonistic compounds. In this study, the broad killing activity B. cenocepacia TAtl-371, strain isolated from tomato rhizosphere, was characterized. This exhibits remarkable antagonism against bacteria, yeast fungi including other strains,...

Abstract Uncatalyzed one‐pot, three‐component reactions of aldehydes, chiral α‐methylamines, and dimethyl phosphite under solvent‐free conditions were used for the diastereoselective synthesis α‐amino phosphonates. The proceeded with extremely high efficiency mild gave good yields diastereoselectivities (70:30 to 93:7 dr ). This approach could be useful large‐scale several

Chalcones are organic structures that occur naturally in flavonoids and isoflavonoids from diverse vegetables fruits. Their properties have promising applications medicinal chemistry as antiparasitic agents against malaria, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease. Parasitic diseases, a global health challenge, affect thousands of people around the world. The lack access to affordable treatments causes many deaths, especially developing countries. disease, neglected infection whose etiological agent is...

The Weinreb amides 2a,b were prepared from the α,α-dimethoxyacetic acids 1c,d. A number of representative nucleophilic additions (RMgX and RLi) on 2 afforded α-ketoacetals 3a–j in 70–99% yield. These compounds represent a versatile arrangement functional groups significant synthetic value, as demonstrated synthesis (±)-salbutamol.

Extracts of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (commonly called Rosselle or "Jamaica flower" in Mexico) have been shown to antibiotic and antivirulence properties several bacteria. Here, an organic extract H. is inhibit motility Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi Typhimurium. The compound responsible for this effect was purified found be the hibiscus acid. When tested, also inhibited reduced secretion both flagellin type III effectors. Purified acid not toxic tissue-cultured eukaryotic cells, it able...

Infections caused by micro-organisms of the genus Candida are becoming a growing health problem worldwide. These fungi opportunistic commensals that can produce infections-clinically known as candidiasis-in immunocompromised individuals. The indiscriminate use different anti-fungal treatments has triggered resistance species to currently used therapies. In this sense, propolis been shown have potent antimicrobial properties and thus be an approach for inhibition species. Therefore, work aims...

Pseudo-C2-symmetric dodecaheterocyclic structures, which possess two acyl/aroyl groups disposed on either a cis- or trans-relative configuration, were prepared from the naturally occurring (-)-(1R)-myrtenal. Addition of Grignard reagents (RMgX) to diastereoisomeric mixture these compounds unexpectedly showed that nucleophilic additions prochiral carbonyl centers gave same stereochemical result in both cis/trans diastereoisomers, making unnecessary separation this mixture. Noticeably,...
