Synthesis and in vitro antimycobacterial activity of compounds derived from (R)- and (S)-2-amino-1-butanol – The crucial role of the configuration
摘要:
The synthesis of 47 structurally diverse compounds incorporating the (R)-2-amino-1-butanol motif has been realized. Ten of these compounds were found to exhibit in vitro specific activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv in a MIC range of 0.65 mu M-14.03 mu M. Five of the most active compounds 11, 22, 23, 31 and 42(5.7-11.1 fold more active than ethambutol) can be outlined with very low cytotoxicity towards human embryonal kidney non-tumour cells (SI ranging from 91.2 to 375.4). For the purpose of comparison the (S)-enantiomers of these most active compounds have been synthesized and evaluated towards M. tuberculosis H(37)Rv showing no activity even at 20-32 fold higher concentrations.

Sunlight Induced Oxidative Photoactivation of<i>N</i>-Hydroxyphthalimide Mediated by Naphthalene Imides
AbstractWe report the aerobic photoactivation of N‐hydroxyphthlimide (NHPI) to the phthalimido‐N‐oxyl (PINO) radical mediated by naphthalene monoimides (NI) for promoting the selective oxidation of alkylaromatics and allylic compounds to the corresponding hydroperoxides. In the absence of either NI or NHPI no oxidation was observed, meaning that the two molecules operate in a synergistic way. Sunlight as well as artificial UV‐light irradiation was necessary in order to perform the process at low temperature (30–35 °C). EPR spectroscopy confirmed the role of NI and oxygen in promoting the formation of the superoxide radicals O2.− which, in turn, increased the concentration of PINO radicals during the UV light irradiation of NI/NHPI mixtures in MeCN. The investigation was extended to NI bearing different substituents on the naphthalene moiety. Finally, the synthesis and application of a unique photocatalyst including the NI and NHPI moieties linked by a suitable spacer was also considered. In this case the photocatalyst showed a substrate‐dependent behaviour with some peculiarities in comparison to the system where NI and NHPI are independent units in the same reacting system. This photocatalytic system paves the way to a non‐thermal, metal‐free approach for CH bond activation towards aerobic oxidation under very mild conditions.magnified image

The catalytic role of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) in promoting free-radical hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions, well-documented for processes of industrial and synthetic interest, is here investigated for the first time in a biological environment. While NHPI by itself did not show any bioactivity, selected NHPI-derivatives (NHPIDs) revealed the ability to activate the intracellular formation of
