The synthesis and the antibacterial activity of 7 beta-[D-2-[(4-hydroxy-1,5-naphthyridine-3-carbonylamino)- and (4-hydroxypyridine-3-carbonylamino)]-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-cephalosporins with various substituents at the 3-position in the cephem nucleus are described. These compounds exhibited strong antibacterial activities against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter aerogenes, which are insensitive to cefazolin and cefmetazole. The compounds (3e, 4e) having a 1-methyl-1H-tetrazolylthiomethyl group at the 3-position appeared to show the best activity in each series. The 4-hydroxypyridine-3-carbonylamino derivative 4e gave higher peak serum concentrations and urinary recovery rates than those of the 4-hydroxy-1,5-naphthyridine derivative 3e when administered subcutaneously to mice and intramuscularly to rats.

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) causes osteomyelitis (OM), which seriously threatens public health due to its antimicrobial resistance. To increase the sensitivity of antibiotics and eradicate intracellular bacteria, a Zn and vancomycin (Van) codelivered nanotherapeutic (named Man-Zn/Van NPs) was fabricated and characterized via mannose (Man) modification. Man-Zn/Van NPs exhibit significant inhibitory activity against extra- and intracellular MRSA and obviously decrease the minimum inhibitory concentration of Van.

The polyketide specialized metabolites of bacteria are attractive targets for generating analogues, with the goal of improving their pharmaceutical properties. Here, we aimed to produce C-26 derivatives of the giant anti-cancer stambomycin macrolides using a mutasynthesis approach, as this position has been shown previously to directly impact bioactivity. For this, we leveraged the intrinsically broad specificity of the acyl transferase domain (AT) of the modular polyketide synthase (PKS), which is responsible for the alkyl branching functionality at this position.

Palladium-catalyzed reactions between imidazo[1,2-]pyridine derivatives and 4-bromo-2,2-dialkyl-substituted 2-chromenes under microwave irradiation at 100 W, 120 °C for 20-30 min provided a series of new 3-(2,2-dialkyl-2-chromen-4-yl)-2-phenylimidazo[1,2-]pyridine derivatives in good to excellent yields. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed through spectroscopic techniques (NMR and HRMS). The X-ray single-crystal structure of compound 16e was also determined.

Modular chemical postmodification of peptides is a promising strategy that supports the optimization and innovation of hit peptide therapeutics by enabling rapid derivatization. However, current methods are primarily limited to traditional bio-orthogonal strategies and chemical ligation techniques, which require the preintroduction of non-natural amino acids and impose fixed methods that limit peptide diversity. Here, we developed the Tyrosine-1,2,3-Triazine Ligation (YTL) strategy, which constructs novel linkages (pyridine and pyrimidine) through a "one-pot, two-step" process combining SAr and IEDDA reactions, promoting modular post modification of Tyr-containing peptides.

Azurin, a bacterial blue-copper protein, has garnered significant attention as a potential anticancer drug in recent years. Among twenty Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, we identified one isolate that demonstrated potent and remarkable azurin synthesis using the VITEK 2 system and 16S rRNA sequencing. The presence of the azurin gene was confirmed in the genomic DNA using specific oligonucleotide primers, and azurin expression was also detected in the synthesized cDNA, which revealed that the azurin expression is active.
