This study reports the design of 30 6-1,2-oxazin-6-ones against DHFR and PTC antimicrobial targets. Docking compounds 1, 3, 4, 6, and 8 with both enzymes was favorable, outperforming Trimethoprim with DHFR. Therefore, 12 6-1,2-oxazin-6-ones, including the most promising compounds, were synthesized through an aminolysis reaction of β-cyanoketones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, obtaining moderate to high yields (55-88%).

Nowadays, infectious diseases caused by drug-resistant bacteria have become especially important. Linezolid is an antibacterial drug active against clinically important Gram positive strains; however, resistance showed by these bacteria has been reported. Nanotechnology has improved a broad area of science, such as medicine, developing new drug delivery and transport systems.

The stereoselective synthesis and anti- Hymenolepis nana activity of six Linezolid-type compounds, obtained by chemical modification of l-Alanine, are reported in this work. The synthetic strategy was to prepare diasteromeric N,N-dibenzylamino oxazolidinones 1 and 2, and coupling with 4-(4-bromophenyl)morpholine (3) to obtain N,N-dibenzylamino Linezolid analogues 4 and 5. A hydrogenolysis reaction over 4 and 5 resulted in amino-free Linezolid analogues 6 and 7, which were acetylated to reach diasteromeric Linezolid analogues 8 and 9.

Article Synopsis
  • Worldwide research is focused on developing new antibiotics with lower rates of bacterial resistance, using molecular docking analysis to predict the effectiveness of new compounds before they are synthesized.
  • This study analyzed 64 dipeptide-type analogues of the antibiotic Linezolid, highlighting six analogues that showed promising interactions for activity prediction.
  • The synthesized compounds were tested against various bacterial strains, with 9bu demonstrating the highest activity against multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis and showing non-cytotoxic effects on human cells at certain concentrations.*

A regioselective synthesis has been developed for the preparation of a series of N,N'-disubstituted 4,4'-carbonylbis(carbamoylbenzoic) acids and N,N'-disubstituted bis(carbamoyl) terephthalic acids by treatment of 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (1) and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (2) with arylalkyl primary amines (A-N). The carbamoylcarboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized with good yield and high purity. The specific reaction conditions were established to obtain carbamoyl and carboxylic acid functionalities over the thermodynamically most favored imide group.
