Capsazepine as well as its derivatives and analogues are general inhibitors of constriction of human small airways. From a systematic variation of the capsazepine structure, divided into four regions, SARs were established. This paper concerns the chlorination of the A-ring as well as the replacement of the catechol with bioisosteric groups. It is revealed that chlorination of the A-ring has a profound effect on activity. Moreover, di-chlorination of the 6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline structure results in a 10-fold increase in potency compared to capsazepine.

Steroid hormones are C-C-sterane derivatives, featuring the typical 6-6-6-5 ring system. Here we report on a novel C-steroid ring system named batrachane with a contracted A-ring resulting in a 5-6-6-5 ring arrangement. The isolation, structural elucidation, and total synthesis of three members of the novel batrachopolyene family occurring in the tropical frog genus Odontobatrachus is reported.

In this study, a novel strain Burkholderia stabilis TF-2 capable of assimilatory and co-metabolic degradation of chlorobenzenes was obtained. The interaction between chlorobenzene (CB) and target enzymes, as well as the metabolic pathways in TF-2, were elucidated using multi-omics and molecular docking techniques. Results of degradation experiments indicated that TF-2 assimilated CB at a rate of 0.

A description of new antimicrobial agents suitable for food industries has become necessary, and natural compounds are being considered as promising sources of new active derivatives to be used with the aim of improving food safety. We have previously described desirable antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against foodborne bacteria by analogs to A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs) with a nitro (NO) group at carbon 6 of the A-ring. We report herein the synthesis of eight additional analogs with chloro and bromo atoms at the A-ring and the systematic study of their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities in order to evaluate their possible application as biocides or food preservatives, as well as to elucidate new structure-activity relationships.

The ferric chloride assisted Scholl reaction of methyl (3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)carbonyl-pyropheophorbide- produced an extra-annulated, didehydrogenated chlorophyll derivative with a six-membered ring fused at the pyrrole A-ring. The steric interaction of the substituents on the additional tetralone and B-rings induced molecular helicity. The helically cyclized stereoisomers were separated by recrystallization, and their (/)-stereochemistry was confirmed by circular dichroism spectra.

(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a key component of green tea, exerts therapeutic anticancer and antiallergic properties through its binding to the 67 kDa laminin receptor. The functionalization of EGCG is a promising strategy for creating new drug candidates and chemical probes. In our study, we developed a method for effectively modifying the A ring of EGCG through an electrophilic aromatic substitution with amidomethyl 2-alkynylbenzoates initiated with a gold complex.
