The Goossen decarboxylative coupling reaction enables the union of thiazole-2-carboxylic acids with a 2-pyridyl triflate, leading to the formation of pyridine-thiazole clusters of the kind found in thiopeptide antibiotics. The method avoids problematic or technically challenging reaction sequences involving 2-thiazolyl organometallics, facilitating the investigation of the structure-activity relationship of the thiopeptides.

Article Synopsis
- The rise of multidrug resistance is a serious challenge for both human and animal health, making it crucial to find new treatments.
- Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) show promise, but their instability has limited their effectiveness, prompting the design of self-assembling peptides (like FFN) that can form nanoparticles and nanofibers in response to bacteria, enhancing stability significantly.
- FFN demonstrated strong antibacterial properties against multidrug-resistant bacteria and proved effective in treating infections in a mouse model, suggesting a potential advancement in using peptide-based nanomaterials in medical and veterinary settings.

Wound infections caused by often result in localized suppurative lesions that severely impede the healing process, so it is urgent to develop a dress with efficient antimicrobial and pro-healing functions. In this study, the bifunctional injectable hydrogel lactoferrin (Lf)/NZ2114/lithium magnesium silicate hydrogel (LMSH) was first successfully prepared through the electrostatic interaction method. The physical, biological, and efficacy properties are systematically analyzed with good shear-thinning capacity and biocompatibility.

Thiopeptides are ribosomally biosynthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) that potently inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria by targeting multiple steps in protein biosynthesis. The poor pharmacological properties of thiopeptides, particularly their low aqueous solubility, has hindered their development into clinically useful antibiotics. Antimicrobial activity screens of a library of Actinomycetota extracts led to discovery of the novel polyglycosylated thiopeptides persiathiacins A and B from sp.
