The escalation of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, especially infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), underscores the urgent need for novel antimicrobial drugs. Here, we synthesized a series amphiphilic 2-phenyl-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole-antimicrobial peptide (AMP) mimic conjugates (III1–30). Among them, compound III13 exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against G+ bacteria and clinical MRSA isolates (MIC = 0.5–2 μg/mL), high membrane...
Infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are increasing worldwide, and with limited clinically available antibiotics, it is urgent to develop new antimicrobials combat these MDR bacteria. Here, a class of novel amphiphilic xanthohumol derivatives were prepared using building-block approach. Bioactivity assays showed that the molecule IV15 not only exhibited remarkable antibacterial effect against clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates (MICs: 1–2...

Silver-mediated isocyanide-alkyne [3 + 2] cycloaddition has been developed as a new method for the synthesis of pyrroles. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations toward this reaction reveal that terminal alkynes participated cycloadditions proceed through two successive 1,5-silver migrations, in which silver migrates between carbon atoms and finally returns to original carbon. Natural population analysis (NPA) indicates migration guides move charge into rational way, thereby...
A radical-mediated three-component 1,4-sulfonylarylation of 1,3-enynes with aryl iodides and sulfinate salts using cooperative photoredox/nickel catalysis is described. This protocol enables the synthesis tetrasubstituted sulfonyl-containing allenes under redox-neutral conditions provides a versatile 1,3-enyne 1,4-difunctionalization platform for diverse range high chemo- regioselectivities, excellent functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope.
A new and highly eco-friendly approach to diverse functionalized oxazolo[5,4-b]indoles with good yield high diastereoselectivity (up >99:1) has been disclosed from simple readily available arylglyoxals cyclic enaminones amino acids. These microwave-assisted transformations in environmentally compatible ethanol resulted continuous multiple bond-forming events including C–C, C–N, C–O bonds, enabling catalyst-free multicomponent bicyclizations rapidly build up functional N,O-heterocycles.
A novel photoredox catalysis for multiple functionalization of two different types unactivated alkenes in a single operation was reported through conceptually new mode annulation-alkynyl migration. wide array cyclopentane carboxylates were synthesized highly selective and functional-group-compatible manner via C-centered radical induced cascade 5-exo-trig/5-exo-dig bicyclization C-C bond cleavage process. This methodology might open entry designing annulation-functional group migration to...
Comprehensive Summary Developing reactions for the synthesis of 6‐6‐4 and 6‐4 carbocyclic scaffolds with a chiral quaternary center at bridgehead position is highly desired, considering existence such skeletons in natural products biological activities potential using these molecules downstream studies chemical biology medicinal chemistry. Report here accessing target high chemo‐, regio‐ enantio‐selectivities through Pd(II)/chiral N , ’‐disulfonyl bisimidazoline (Bim) ligand‐catalyzed...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a leading cause of hospital- and community-acquired infections, necessitating the development novel antibacterials. Here, we designed synthesized 30 osthole derivatives with pyridinium quaternary ammonium moieties. In vitro bioassay showed that compounds 8u 8ac exhibited potent antibacterial activity against S. ATCC 29213 ten clinical MRSA isolates (MIC = 0.5-1 μg/mL), low hemolytic activity, rapid bactericidal effects, minimal resistance...
Pd-catalyzed selective amine-oriented C8-H bond functionalization/N-dealkylative carbonylation of naphthyl amines has been achieved. The amine group from dealkylation is proposed to be the directing for promoting this process. It represents a straightforward and easy method access various biologically important benzo[cd]indol-2(1H)-one derivatives.
Scutellariae radix ("Huang-Qin" in Chinese) is a well-known traditional herbal medicine and popular dietary supplement the world, extensively used prescriptions of TCMs as adjuvant treatments for coronavirus pneumonia 2019 (COVID-19) patients China. According to differences its appearance, can be classified into two kinds: ZiQin (1∼3 year-old baicalensis with hard roots) KuQin (more than 3 S. withered pithy roots). In accordance clinical theory TCM, superior cooling down heat lung. However,...
A series of well-defined phosphine-ligated diarylgold(III) complexes cis-[Au(L)(ArF)(Ar′)(Cl)] were prepared, and detailed kinetics the C(sp2)–C(sp2) reductive elimination from these studied. The mechanism was further studied by theoretical calculations. combination experimental results suggests that biaryl organogold(III) proceeds through a concerted biaryl-forming pathway four-coordinated Au(III) metal center. These studies also disclose steric hindrance phosphine ligands plays major role...
