    Abstract Diverse natural and synthetic furan derivatives have shown biological activity. Here, we describe the preparation of benzyl and arylethyl β-furanamides with OH or OMe aryl substituents by an adapted sustainable method from a furoic acid using methyl chloroformate. Symmetric and asymmetric β,β’-furanamides have instead been prepared using azabenzotriazole based catalyst (HATU). The products have been evaluated for their antimicrobial properties on Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Just a minimal not-significant activity has been observed in some derivatives.

    Abstract Bacterial infections represent a key public health issue due to the occurrence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Recently, the amount of data supporting the dynamic control of epigenetic pathways by environmental cues has triggered research efforts toward the clarification of their role in microbial infections. Among protein post-translational modifications, reversible acetylation is the most implicated in the feedback to environmental stimuli and in cellular homeostasis. Accordingly, the latest studies identified the histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) enzyme as a crucial player in the complex molecular machinery underlying bacterial clearance or killing. A very important milestone for the elucidation of the consequence of HDAC6 activity in bacterial infections is herein described, unveiling for the first time the role of a potent HDAC6 inhibitor in interfering with biofilm formation and modulating virulence factors of

    Abstract Gut dysbiosis has been involved in the pathogenesis and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD), but the mechanisms through which gut microbiota (GM) exerts its influences deserve further study. Recently, we proposed a two-hit mouse model of PD in which ceftriaxone (CFX)-induced dysbiosis amplifies the neurodegenerative phenotype generated by striatal 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) injection in mice. Low GM diversity and the depletion of key gut colonizers and butyrate producers were the main signatures of GM alteration in this model. Here, we used the phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt2) to unravel candidate pathways of cell-to-cell communication associated with dual-hit mice and potentially involved in PD progression. We focused our analysis on short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) metabolism and quorum sensing (QS) signaling. Based on linear discriminant analysis, combined with the effect size results, we found increased functions linked to pyruvate utilization and a depletion of acetate and butyrate production in 6-OHDA+CFX mice. The specific arrangement of QS signaling as a possible result of the disrupted GM structure was also observed. With this exploratory study, we suggested a scenario in which SCFAs metabolism and QS signaling might represent the effectors of gut dysbiosis potentially involved in the designation of the functional outcomes that contribute to the exacerbation of the neurodegenerative phenotype in the dual-hit animal model of PD.

    Abstract The occurrence of increased antibiotic resistance has reduced the availability of drugs effective in the control of infectious diseases, especially those caused by various combinations of bacteria and/or fungi that are often associated with poorer patient outcomes. In the hunt for novel antibiotics of interest to treat polymicrobial diseases, molecules bearing guanidine moieties have recently come to the fore in designing and optimizing antimicrobial agents. Due to their remarkable antibacterial and antifungal activities, labdane diterpenes are also attracting increasing interest in antimicrobial drug discovery. In this study, six different guanidines prenylated with labdanic fragments were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial properties. Assays were carried out against both non-resistant and antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains, while their possible antifungal activities have been tested on the yeast Candida albicans. Two of the synthesized compounds, namely labdan-8,13(R)-epoxy-15-oyl guanidine and labdan-8,13(S)-epoxy-15-oyl guanidine, were finally selected as the best candidates for further developments in drug discovery, due to their antimicrobial effects on both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains, their fungicide action, and their moderate toxicity in vivo on zebrafish embryos. The study also provides insights into the structure-activity relationships of the guanidine-functionalized labdane-type diterpenoids.
