    Abstract Compounds possessing a thioamide function play a crucial role in organic synthesis, serving as key building blocks. They are also important in the pharmaceutical chemistry and drug design, owing to their ability to mimic the amide function in biomolecules while retaining or developing biological activity. From the synthetic viewpoint, several methods have been developed for preparing thioamides using sulfuration agents. The purpose of this review is to give an update of the last decade of contributions focusing on the formation of thioamides employing different sulfur sources. When appropriate, the cleanness and practicality of the new methods are highlighted.

    Abstract Remarkable structural homologies between the main proteases of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) were revealed by comparative amino-acid sequence and 3D structural alignment. Assessing whether reported IBV 3CLPro inhibitors could also interact with SARS-CoV-2 has been undertaken in silico using a PubChem BioAssay database of 388 compounds active on the avian infectious bronchitis virus 3C-like protease. Docking studies of this database on the SARS-CoV-2 protease resulted in the identification of four covalent inhibitors targeting the catalytic cysteine residue and five non-covalent inhibitors for which the binding was further investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Predictive ADMET calculations on the nine compounds suggest promising pharmacokinetic properties.

    Insights from Conformational Analysis, Molecular Docking and Structural Modifications

    Abstract A conformational analysis and molecular docking study comparing 2,6-difluoro-3-methoxybenzamide (DFMBA) with 3-methoxybenzamide (3-MBA) has been undertaken for investigating the known increase of FtsZ inhibition related anti S. aureus activity due to fluorination. For the isolated molecules, the calculations reveal that the presence of the fluorine atoms in DFMBA is responsible for its non-planarity, with a dihedral angle of -27° between the carboxamide and the aromatic ring. When interacting with the protein, the fluorinated ligand can thus more easily adopt the non-planar conformation found in reported co-crystallized complexes with FtsZ, than the non-fluorinated one. Molecular docking studies of the favored non-planar conformation of 2,6-difluoro-3-methoxybenzamide highlights the strong hydrophobic interactions between the difluoroaromatic ring and several key residues of the allosteric pocket, precisely between the 2-fluoro substituent and residues Val203 and Val297 and between the 6-fluoro group and the residues Asn263. The docking simulation in the allosteric binding site also confirms the critical importance of the hydrogen bonds between the carboxamide group with the residues Val207, Leu209 and Asn263. Changing the carboxamide functional group of 3-alkyloxybenzamide and 3-alkyloxy-2,6-difluorobenzamide to a benzohydroxamic acid or benzohydrazide led to inactive compounds, confirming the importance of the carboxamide group.

    Abstract A method aiming at investigating possible bioactive conformations of acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum sensing (QS) modulators is established. The method relies on the exhaustive conformational analysis of AHLs by varying torsion angles around the amide group then on the selection of the closest conformation to those known from co-crystallized XRD data of AHL-receptor complexes. These latter are then docked as rigid ligand within the receptor binding site, leading to interactions with binding site residues which are highly consistent as compared with the data arising from XRD studies. The method is first validated using AHLs for which XRD data of their complexes with their cognate receptor are available, then extended to examples for which the binding mode is still unknown. Three compounds were used to validate the method: hexanoyl homoserine lactone (HHL) as an example of autoinducer, 3-oxo-butanoyl homoserine lactone (OBHL), as a representative model of 3-oxo-AHLs, and 4-(4-chlorophenoxy)butanoyl homoserine lactone (CPOBHL) as an example of a QS inhibitor. The conformational analysis of these three compounds to their cognate protein (TraR, SdiA, LasR and CviR) provides the data which enable the next rigid docking step. Further rigid docking of the closest conformations compared to the known bioactive ones within the binding sites allows to recover the expected binding mode with high precision (atomic RMSD < 2 Å). This "conformational analysis/torsion angle filter/rigid ligand docking" method was then used for investigating three non-natural AHL-type QS inhibitors without known co-crystallized XRD structures, namely was 2-hexenoyl homoserine lactone (HenHL), 3-oxo-4-phenylbutanoyl homoserine lactone (OPBHL) and 3-(4-bromophenyl)propanoyl homoserine lactone (BPPHL). Results provide insights into their possible binding mode by identifying specific interactions with some key residues within the receptor binding site, allowing discussion of their biological activity.

    Abstract The synthesis and the QS modulation activity of diastereoisomerically pure 2-hydroxy-N-acyl-l-homoserine lactones (2-OH-AHLs) are unveiled. (2R)- and (2S)- 2-hydroxy-N-hexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone and 2-hydroxy-N-octanoyl-l-homoserine lactone have been identified as very potent QS agonists and antagonists on the Vibrio fischeri-quorum sensing system with opposite activities depending on the configuration of the carbon atom with the hydroxyl group. Flexible molecular docking showed that the (2R)-OH configuration in the antagonist isomer induces new hydrogen bonds with Tyr70 and Asp79, two importantly conserved residues in the LuxR protein family, while the (2S)-OH agonist configuration exhibits a binding mode comparable to the natural ligand 3-oxo-hexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone (OHHL). For the analogs with long alkyl chain 3a and 3b and aromatic analogs, all are antagonists with no effect of the configuration at C-2.
