Lincomycin derivatives that have a 5-(2-nitrophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl thio moiety at the 7-position were synthesized. 5-Substituted 2-nitrophenyl derivatives showed potent antibacterial activities against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes with erm gene. Antibacterial activities of the 4,5-di-substituted 2-nitrophenyl derivatives were generally comparable to those of telithromycin (TEL) against S. pneumoniae with erm gene and clearly superior to those of TEL against S. pyogenes with erm gene. Compounds 6 and 10c that have a methoxy group at the 5-position of the benzene ring exhibited activities comparable to TEL against Haemophilus influenzae. These results suggest that lincomycin derivatives modified at the 7-position would be promising compounds as a clinical candidate. We would like to dedicate this article to the special issue for late Professor Dr. Hamao Umezawa in The Journal of Antibiotics.The Journal of Antibiotics advance online publication, 5 July 2017; doi:10.1038/ja.2017.59.

The biosynthesis of the lincosamide antibiotics lincomycin A and celesticetin involves the pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes LmbF and CcbF, which are responsible for bifurcation of the biosynthetic pathways. Despite recognizing the same S-glycosyl-L-cysteine structure of the substrates, LmbF catalyses thiol formation through β-elimination, whereas CcbF produces S-acetaldehyde through decarboxylation-coupled oxidative deamination. The structural basis for the diversification mechanism remains largely unexplored.

- Topical clindamycin phosphate/adapalene/benzoyl peroxide (CAB) gel is approved for treating acne in patients 12 and older, and post hoc analyses examined its effectiveness in younger patients with acne.
- Data from two studies showed that CAB significantly improved treatment success and reduced acne lesions in adolescents compared to a vehicle gel, with 51.5% of treated adolescents achieving success versus 24.9% with the vehicle.
- The CAB gel was generally well tolerated, with most adverse events being mild to moderate, and it was effective for younger children as well, with significant lesion reductions observed in all treated children.
Lameness in Adult Sheep and Goats in Greece: Prevalence, Predictors, Treatment, Importance for Farmers.
Animals (Basel)

Veterinary Faculty, University of Thessaly, 43100 Karditsa, Greece.
The present study refers to an extensive investigation of lameness performed countrywide in Greece, on 325 sheep and 119 goat farms. The specific objectives of this work were to present data on the occurrence of lameness on sheep and goat farms and to identify variables (including variables related to climatic factors) associated with the disorder on the farms. Farms were visited and animals on the farm were assessed for the presence of lameness; further, an interview was carried out with the farmer to obtain information regarding practices applied on the farm.

American Oyster Defensin (AOD) is a marine peptide that is derived from North American mussels. It has been demonstrated to exhibit potent antimicrobial activity and high safety in both in vitro and in vivo models. In this study, to facilitate synthesis, mutants of AOD with fewer disulfide bonds were designed and subjected to structural, antimicrobial, and anti-biofilm analysis.
