A new trimeric hispidin derivative, phellinstatin, was isolated from a culture broth of the medicinal fungus Phellinus linteus and its structure was established by various spectral analysis. Phellinstatin strongly inhibited Staphylococcus aureus enoyl-ACP reductase with an IC(50) of 6 μM and also showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus and MRSA.

Background: Irresponsible and wholesale use of antimicrobial agents is the principal cause of the emergence of strains of resistant microorganisms to traditional drugs. Oligoventin is a neutral peptide isolated from spider eggs of Phoneutria nigriventer, with antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and yeast organisms. However, the molecular target and pathways of antimicrobial activity are still unknown.

In this study, a series of novel thieno [3, 2-b]pyridinone derivatives were designed and synthesized using a scaffold hopping strategy. Six compounds showed potent anti-mycobacterial activity (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ≤ 1 μg/mL) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) UAlRa. Compound 6c displayed good activity against Mtb UAlRv (MIC = 0.

Twenty-eight compounds, , 1,8-naphthyridine-3-carbonitrile (ANC and ANA) derivatives, were designed and synthesized through a molecular hybridization approach. The structures of these compounds were analyzed and confirmed using H NMR, C NMR, LCMS, and elemental analyses. The synthesized compounds were evaluated by testing for their effectiveness against tuberculosis using the MABA assay, targeting the H37Rv strain.

Malaria, caused by Plasmodium protozoa with as the most virulent species, continues to pose significant health challenges. Despite the availability of effective antimalarial drugs, the emergence of resistance has heightened the urgency for developing novel therapeutic compounds. In this study, we investigated the enoyl-ACP reductase enzyme of (PfENR) as a promising target for antimalarial drug discovery.

Malaria is one of most widespread infectious disease in world. The antimalarial therapy presents a series of limitations, such as toxicity and the emergence of resistance, which makes the search for new drugs urgent. Thus, it becomes necessary to explore essential and exclusive therapeutic targets of the parasite to achieve selective inhibition.
