Small molecules with structural similarities to siderophores as novel antimicrobials against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Yersinia pestis
摘要:
Drugs inhibiting the iron scarcity-induced, siderophore-mediated iron-scavenging systems of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and Yersinia pestis (Yp) may provide new therapeutic lines of defense. Compounds with structural similarities to siderophores were synthesized and evaluated as antimicrobials against Mtb and Yp under iron-limiting conditions, which mimic the iron scarcity these pathogens encounter and must adapt to in the host, and under standard iron-rich conditions for comparison. New antimicrobials were identified, some of which warrant exploration as initial leads against potentially novel targets and small-molecule tools to assist in the elucidation of targets specific to iron-scarcity adapted Mtb and Yp.

3,4-Dihydroxychalcones as potent 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase inhibitors
摘要:
A novel series of 3,4-dihydroxychalcones was synthesized to evaluate their effects against 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase. Almost all compounds exhibited potent inhibitory effects on 5-lipoxygenase with antioxidative effects, and some also inhibited cyclooxygenase. The 2',5'-disubstituted 3,4-dihydroxychalcones with hydroxy or alkoxy groups exhibited optimal inhibition of cyclooxygenase. We found that 2',5'-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroxychalcone (37; HX-0836) inhibited cyclooxygenase to the same degree as flufenamic acid and 6-lipoxygenase, more than quercetin. Finally, these active inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase inhibited arachidonic acid-induced mouse ear edema more than phenidone.

A series of chalcone analogues and some of their derivatives were synthesized and subjected to the mosquito larvicidal study. Chalcones having electron releasing group(s) on either ring A or ring B showed high toxicity. Electron withdrawing group(s), especially at ring B, reduced the activity of chalcones. The activity was abruptly decreased due to replacement of ring A by CH3, extension of conjugation

A library of sixty-five chalcones was prepared for screening against the protein phosphatase, cdc25B. From this library, thirteen compounds were found having good inhibitory activity. Two compounds have excellent activity and can be used for the design of more potent antiproliferative agents.

toxicity synergistic antifungal compounds, 24 derivatives of chalcone were synthesized to restore the effectiveness of fluconazoleagainst fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC80) and the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) of the antifungalsynergistfluconazole were measured against fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans. This was done via methods

A series of benzylideneacetophenone derivatives have been synthesized and found to show potent inhibition of the lipidperoxidation (LPO) in rat liver microsomes. All 19 compounds prepared in this series are LPO inhibitors. The highest activity was found in para hydroxy derivatives with two meta tert-butyl substituents.
