Arenicolide Family Macrolides Provide a New Therapeutic Lead Combating Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Natural Products Research Institute, College of Pharmacy, Seoul National University, 1 Gwanak-ro, Gwanak-gu, 08826, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study highlights the urgent issue of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which poses a global health threat.
  • - Researchers discovered eight new compounds called arenicolides from a bacterium found in the gut of black oil beetles, including arenicolide A (Ar-A), which exhibits strong antimicrobial activity against MDR and XDR strains of Mtb.
  • - Ar-A effectively weakens the Mtb cell wall and depletes ATP, showing significant potential as a treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis, especially when combined with the antibiotic amikacin in mice.

Integrating scientific principles into machine learning models to enhance their predictive performance and generalizability is a central challenge in the development of AI for Science. Herein, we introduce Uni-p , a novel framework that successfully incorporates thermodynamic principles into machine learning modeling, achieving high-precision predictions of acid dissociation constants (p ), a crucial task in the rational design of drugs and catalysts, as well as a modeling challenge in computational physical chemistry for small organic molecules. Uni-p utilizes a comprehensive free energy model to represent molecular protonation equilibria accurately.

This study examined the antiradical activity of three synthesized coumarin derivatives: ()-3-(1-((2-hydroxyphenyl)amino)ethylidene)-2,4-dioxochroman-7-yl acetate (), ()-3-(1-((3-hydroxyphenyl)amino)ethylidene)-2,4-dioxochroman-7-yl acetate (), and ()-3-(1-((4-hydroxyphenyl)amino)ethylidene)-2,4-dioxochroman-7-yl acetate () against HOO•/O2•- radical species. The investigation included electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements and a DFT kinetic study. Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of antiradical mechanisms-Formal Hydrogen Atom Transfer (-HAT), Radical Adduct Formation (RAF), Sequential Proton Loss followed by Electron Transfer (SPLET), and Single-Electron Transfer followed by Proton Transfer (SET-PT)-were evaluated using the Quantum Mechanics-based test for Overall Free Radical Scavenging Activity (QM-ORSA) under physiological conditions.

Design, Synthesis, Anti-Cancer, Anti-Inflammatory and In Silico Studies of 3-Substituted-2-Oxindole Derivatives.

Chem Biodivers

November 2024

Organic Chemistry Research Laboratory, School of Chemical Sciences, Solapur University, Solapur, Maharashtra, 413255, India.

This study focuses on the design and synthesis of 3-substituted-2-oxindole derivatives aimed at developing dual-active molecules with anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. The molecules were designed with diverse structural and functional features while adhering to Lipinski, Veber, and Leeson criteria. Physicochemical properties were assessed using SWISSADME to ensure drug-likeness and favourable pharmacokinetics.
