    An Overview of Beta-Lactam Antibiotics Bearing More Than One Pharmacophoric Group

    Abstract β-lactam antibiotics are among the most important and widely used antimicrobials worldwide and are comprised of a large family of compounds, obtained by chemical modifications of the common scaffolds. Usually these modifications include the addition of active groups, but less frequently, molecules were synthesized in which either two β-lactam rings were joined to create a single bifunctional compound, or the azetidinone ring was joined to another antibiotic scaffold or another molecule with a different activity, in order to create a molecule bearing two different pharmacophoric functions. In this review, we report some examples of these derivatives, highlighting their biological properties and discussing how this strategy can lead to the development of innovative antibiotics that can represent either novel weapons against the rampant increase of antimicrobial resistance, or molecules with a broader spectrum of action.

    Abstract In a previous study, a linezolid analogue, called 10f, was synthesized. The 10f molecule has an antimicrobial activity comparable to that of the parental compound. In this study, we isolated a Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) strain resistant to 10f. After sequencing the 23S rRNA and the ribosomal proteins L3 (rplC) and L4 (rplD) genes, we found that the resistant phenotype was associated with a single mutation G359U in rplC bearing to the missense mutation G120V in the L3 protein. The identified mutation is far from the peptidyl transferase center, the oxazolidinone antibiotics binding site, thus suggesting that we identified a new and interesting example of a long-range effect in the ribosome structure.

  3. Article ; Online: Hexahexyloxycalix[6]arene, a Conformationally Adaptive Host for the Complexation of Linear and Branched Alkylammonium Guests

    Abstract Hexahexyloxycalix[6]arene 2b leads to the endo -cavity complexation of linear and branched alkylammonium guests showing a conformational adaptive behavior in CDCl 3 solution. Linear n -pentylammonium guest 6a + induces the cone conformation of 2b at the expense of the 1,2,3-alternate, which is the most abundant conformer of 2b in the absence of a guest. In a different way, branched alkylammonium guests, such as tert -butylammonium 6b + and isopropylammonium 6c + , select the 1,2,3-alternate as the favored 2b conformation ( 6b + / 6c + ⊂ 2b 1,2,3-alt ), but other complexes in which 2b adopts different conformations, namely, 6b + / 6c + ⊂ 2b cone , 6b + / 6c + ⊂ 2b paco , and 6b + / 6c + ⊂ 2b 1,2-alt , have also been revealed. Binding constant values determined via NMR experiments indicated that the 1,2,3-alternate was the best-fitting 2b conformation for the complexation of branched alkylammonium guests, followed by cone > paco > 1,2-alt. Our NCI and NBO calculations suggest that the H-bonding interactions ( + N–H···O) between the ammonium group of the guest and the oxygen atoms of calixarene 2b are the main determinants of the stability order of the four complexes. These interactions are weakened by increasing the guest steric encumbrance, thus leading to a lower binding affinity. Two stabilizing H-bonds are possible with the 1,2,3-alt- and cone- 2b conformations, whereas only one H-bond is possible with the other paco- and 1,2-alt- 2b stereoisomers.

    Abstract The synthesis of the triple-calix[6]arene derivative 6 in which three calix[6]arene macrocycles are linked to a central 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene moiety is reported. Derivative 6 is able to give multiple-threading processes in the presence of dialkylammonium axles. The formation of pseudo[2]rotaxane, pseudo[3]rotaxane, and pseudo[4]rotaxane by threading one, two, and three, respectively, calix-wheels of 6 has been studied by 1D and 2D NMR, DOSY, and ESI-FT-ICR MS/MS experiments. The use of a directional alkylbenzylammonium axle led to the stereoselective formation of endo-alkyl pseudo[n]rotaxane stereoisomers.

    Abstract This study shows that calixarene p-bromodienone derivatives can act as precursors for the formation of oxenium cations, which can be trapped with enamine C-nucleophiles. When calixarene p-bromodienones were treated with enamines, in the presence of AgClO4, the lower rim-substituted C–O–C products were obtained by an electrophilic attack of the intermediate calixarene-oxenium cation with a contemporary cone-to-partial-cone inversion of the involved aromatic ring.

    Abstract The synthesis and the biological activity of novel semi-synthetic β-lactam compounds containing an azetidinone moiety joined to the amino-nitrogen of the (+)-6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) as new antibacterial agents is reported. The synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against a panel of Gram positive and Gram negative pathogens and environmental bacteria. Tested compounds displayed good antimicrobial activity against all tested Gram positive bacteria and for Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis antimicrobial activity resulted higher than that of the reference antibiotic. Additionally, in vitro cytotoxic screening was also carried out indicating that the compounds do not cause a cell vitality reduction effective at concentration next to and above those shown to be antimicrobial.

    Abstract In this paper, we report the synthesis, structural characterization, and solvatochromic properties of a N-linked p-pyridiniumcalix[4]arenediol derivative 1. In the solid state, 1 forms a dimeric assembly stabilized by a network of weak H-bonding interactions involving acetonitrile solvent molecules. In solution, 1 shows a peculiar negative solvatochromism which was rationalized with the aid of TD-DFT calculations. The species responsible for this phenomenon is the monodeprotonated betainic form of 1 which is easily formed at pH close to neutrality.

    Abstract We present the synthesis and biological evaluation of the prototype of a new class of cephalosporins, containing an additional isolated beta lactam ring with two phenyl substituents. This new compound is effective against Gram positive microorganisms, with a potency similar to that of ceftriaxone, a cephalosporin widely used in clinics and taken as a reference, and with no cytotoxicity against two different human cell lines, even at a concentration much higher than the minimal inhibitory concentration tested. Additionally, a deep computational analysis has been conducted with the aim of understanding the contribution of its moieties to the binding energy towards several penicillin-binding proteins from both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. All these results will help us developing derivatives of this compound with improved chemical and biological properties, such as a broader spectrum of action and/or an increased affinity towards their molecular targets.

    Abstract The anthracene-incorporated [8]cycloparaphenylene 2 has been synthesized and its optoelectronic properties studied by UV–vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and DFT calculations. NMR and computational studies indicate that the new cycloparaphenylene derivative possesses a Cs point group symmetry. The new CPP 2 exhibits peculiar optoelectronic properties: (i) fluorescence emission is blue-shifted with respect to [8]cycloparaphenylene 1, and its quantum yield is higher; (ii) in the presence of an octaethylporphyrin Pd complex, as sensitizer, it undergoes a visible light upconversion. This is the first case in which a cycloparaphenylene derivative is involved as an emitter in low power light frequency conversion.

    Abstract Calix[4]pyrrole (1), calix[2]m-benzo[4]pyrrole (2), 10α,20β- and 10α,20α- bis(4-nitrophenyl)-calix[4]pyrroles 3 and 4, respectively, were found to exhibit various organocatalytic activities in the diastereoselective vinylogous addition reaction of 2-trimethylsilyloxyfuran (TMSOF, 7) to aldehydes. The γ-hydroxybutenolide products are obtained in fairly good yields and with moderate diastereoselectivity. The structures of the catalysts, as well as the reaction conditions, strongly influence the efficiency of the reaction.
