Identification of Borinic Esters as Inhibitors of Bacterial Cell Growth and Bacterial Methyltransferases, CcrM and MenH
摘要:
As bacteria continue to develop resistance toward current antibiotics, we find ourselves in a continual battle to identify new antibacterial agents and targets. We report herein a class of boron-containing compounds termed borinic esters that have broad spectrum antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in the low microgram/mL range. These compounds were identified by screening for inhibitors against Caulobacter crescentus CcrM, an essential DNA methyltransferase from Gram negative alpha-proteobacteria. In addition, we demonstrate that borinic esters inhibit menaquinone methyltransferase in Gram positive bacteria using a new biochemical assay for MenH from Bacillus subtilis. Our data demonstrate the potential for further development of borinic esters as antibacterial agents as well as leads to explore more specific inhibitors against two essential bacterial enzymes.

A highly efficient cross-coupling of cost-effective diarylborinic acids with both isolatable and latent arenediazoniums, i.e. tetrafluoroborates and aryltriazenes, respectively, has been developed with a practical palladium catalyst system under base-free conditions in open flask at room temperature. A variety of electronically and sterically various biaryls, in particular, those bearing a coordinative

Methods for treating and/or preventing disease conditions caused or induced or aggravated by microbes, especially bacteria, by inhibiting DNA methyltransferase activity, such as by administering to an animal a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, are disclosed, along with methods of reducing or ablating virulence in bacteria by inhibiting DNA methyltransferase activity.

cost-effective aryl source has been efficiently effected via Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed Chan-Lam coupling in assistance of tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) in methanol and pyridine (Py) in dichloromethane, respectively, in air at room temperature. The diarylborinic acids could be well accommodated by the Chan-Lam coupling oxidative conditions containing a proper combination of bases and solvents. The steric
The catalytic cross-coupling reaction of potassium diaryldifluoroborates with aryl halides proceeds to afford the biphenyls in good yields. These salts on an arylation reagent were readily prepared via a protocol of the Grignard method and transformation to potassium salts. Two aryl groups of these salts were efficiently transferred in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction.
