Development of novel antibacterial agents against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
摘要:
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) poses a serious threat to public health because of its resistance to multiple antibiotics most commonly used to treat infection. In this study, we report the unique ability of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib to kill Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA with modest potency. We hypothesize that the anti-Staphylococcus activity of celecoxib could be pharmacologically exploited to develop novel anti-MRSA agents with a distinct mechanism. Examination of an in-house, celecoxib-based focused compound library in conjunction with structural modifications led to the identification of compound 46 as the lead agent with high antibacterial potency against a panel of Staphylococcus pathogens and different strains of MRSA. Moreover, this killing effect is bacteria-specific, as human cancer cells are resistant to 46. In addition, a single intraperitoneal administration of compound 46 at 30 mg/kg improved the survival of MRSA-infected C57BL/6 mice. In light of its high potency in eradicating MRSA in vitro and its in vivo activity, compound 46 and its analogues warrant continued preclinical development as a potential therapeutic intervention against MRSA.

Three newpalladium catalysts, prepared via reactions of PdCl2 with readily obtained and inexpensive dicationic imidazolium salts, have been developed for the Suzuki reaction. The pre-catalyst was formed in situ using the imidazolium ligand, base and Pd metal precursor in 1,4-dioxane. This palladium catalyst provides a convenient and general method for the synthesis of biaryls from aryl bromides, activated

The Pd(II) complexes strongly chelated by two β-iminoenolate ligands were easily synthesized in only two steps, and purified based on their sublimable and highly stable property. The Pd(II) complexes anchored on a silica surface showed good catalytic activity in Suzuki-Miyaurareactions (up to 99% yield with 0.05 mol% catalyst). They tolerated a wide range of temperature (rt∼110 °C) and various solvents

controlled synthesis and stabilization of ultrafine palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) of nearly ∼2 nm size. The as-synthesized Pd NPs were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. The well-dispersed cryptand-stabilized nanoparticles are found to catalyze the C–C bond-forming Suzuki–Miyaura reaction heterogeneously using water as a green
over mesoporoussilica. Pd@FSM with a high palladium loading of ca. 11 mg g−1 exhibited superior catalytic activity for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-couplings and a catalyst loading of 0.05 mol% is typically sufficient to achieve excellent reaction yields. Notably, the reaction is typically carried out in water without removing atmospheric oxygen. The catalyst is conveniently recycled and remains highly active
1-(acetylated glucopyranosyl)-3-substituted-imidazolium salts [3-substitute = n-butyl (1a), 3-bromopropyl (1b), 2-chloromethyl benzyl (1c), and 4-chloromethyl benzyl (1d)] have been synthesized. Preliminary catalytic studies show that these imidazolinium salts are remarkably efficient in Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction.
