An efficient approach for the introduction of 3-acyl side chain groups onto a core tetramate system, which are suitable for further manipulation by nucleophilic displacement or Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons coupling, provides access to a diverse library of substituted tetramates related to two distinct classes of natural products, equisetin and pramanicin.

Abstract In order to check the structure-activity relationship and find more potent derivatives of the natural products 1 and 2 obtained from sponge Ircinia spinosula, a series of oxidation, hydrogenation, acetylation and methylation derivatives was prepared. All compounds (natural and synthetic ones) were screened for their cytotoxic and antibacterial activities. The biological studies showed a wide range of antibacterial activity even though only 2 and 2d showed a moderate cytotoxicity against the clone C98. The oxidation of the hydroquinone to quinone and the hydrogenation of the side-chain increased the antibacterial effect of the molecules.

Ampicillin, first introduced in 1961, has probably become the most widely used penicillin in clinical pediatrics. STRUCTURE ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS All penicillins contain the 6-amino penicillanic acid moiety (Fig 1). Its structure includes a thiazolidine ring (A), a β-lactam ring (B), the source of antibacterial activity, and an acyl side chain (R), containing a variety of substitutions creating the family of semisynthetic penicillins. The only difference between ampicillin and penicillin G is the presence of an amino group in the acyl side chain (Fig 1). PHARMACOLOGY AND BACTERIOLOGY Ampicillin is a semisynthetic penicillin, active against Streptococus pneumoniae and certain Gram-negative bacteria, including most Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, and certain Proteus species. Compared to penicillin G, it has increased stability in acid solutions: a property facilitating oral administration and absorption. It penetrates into most body tissues; effective entry into CSF, however, occurs only with inflamed meninges. The serum half-life with normal renal function varies from four hours in newborns1 to 1.3 hours in adults.2 Ampicillin can cause an allergic, or nonallergic skin rash (Fig 2). ALLERGY Allergy (for the purposes of this discussion) is defined as a specific immunologic interaction, between either antigen and antibody, or antigen with a sensitized lymphocyte, resulting in a clinically deleterious effect. Implicit is a prior contact with the antigen.

: For several decades, biotransformational studies on steroidal compounds have gained a lot of attention because it is an efficient approach for the structural modification of complicated natural or synthetic compounds with high regio-, chemo- and stereoselectivity at environmentally friendly conditions. This review summarizes the use of different strains of Cunninghamella blakesleeana for the biotransformation of sixteen steroids 1-16 into a variety of transformed products. The transformed products may be important as a drug or precursor for the production of important pharmaceuticals. The types of reactions performed by C. blakesleeana include hydroxylation, epoxidation, reduction, demethylation, oxidation, glycosidation, double bond formation, side-chain degradation, isomerisation and opening of an isoxazol ring, which would be difficult to produce by traditional synthesis.

Chemical examination of the EtOAc extract of the deep sea-derived fungus Penicillium sp. YPGA11 resulted in the isolation of four new farnesylcyclohexenones, peniginsengins B–E (1–4), and a known analog peniginsengin A (5). The structures of compounds 1–4 were determined on the basis of comprehensive analyses of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy (MS) data, and the absolute configurations of 1, 2, and 4 were determined by comparisons of experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) with calculated ECD spectra. Compounds 1–5, characterized by a highly oxygenated 1-methylcyclohexene unit and a (4E,8E)-4,8-dimethyldeca-4,8-dienoic acid side chain, are rarely found in nature. Compounds 2–4 exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

The heronapyrroles A–C have first been isolated from a marine-derived Streptomyces sp. (CMB-0423) in 2010. Structurally, these natural products feature an unusual nitropyrrole system to which a partially oxidized farnesyl chain is attached. The varying degree of oxidation of the sesquiterpenyl subunit in heronapyrroles A–C provoked the hypothesis that there might exist other hitherto unidentified metabolites. On biosynthetic grounds a mono-tetrahydrofuran-diol named heronapyrrole D appeared a possible candidate. We here describe a short asymmetric synthesis of heronapyrrole D, its detection in cultivations of CMB-0423 and finally the evaluation of its antibacterial activity. We thus demonstrate that biosynthetic considerations and the joint effort of synthetic and natural product chemists can result in the identification of new members of a rare class of natural products.

The susceptibility of Helicobacter pylori to three essential oils (EOs), 12 naturally occurring monoterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated and phenolic monoterpenes and three reference antibiotics were studied. Classification and comparison of essential oils and monoterpenes on the basis of their chemical composition and antibacterial activity were made by the utilization of principal component analyses (PCA) and agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC). The most abundant compound in the Thymus glabrescens Willd. and Thymus pulegioides L. EOs is geraniol (33.8% and 52.5%), while the main constituent in Satureja kitaibelii Wierzb. ex Heuff. EO is limonene (16,1%). The compound that was the most active against H. pylori was carvacrol. EOs of T. glabrescens and S. kitaibelii exhibit higher antibacterial ability in comparison with all monoterpenes, except carvacrol, probably based on the concept of synergistic activity of essential oil components. PCA separated essential oils based on chemical composition and explain 96.5% of the total variance in the first two principal components. Essential oils, phenolic monoterpenes and two antibiotics were classified in the same sub-cluster within AHC analyses. EOs of T. glabrescens and S. kitaibelii can be used to treat infections caused by H. pylori, as a potentially effective, cheap and safe natural products. Further research of antibacterial activity of selected monoterpenes, essential oils and standard antibiotic combinations, as well as clinical study are required.
