Abstract Four metal complexes viz Cu(II) and Fe(III) with or without thiocyanate have been synthesized from a Mannich base prepared by a simple synthetic route. These complexes were characterized by elemental and spectroscopic techniques. Bonding modes of the thiocyanate group with the metal complexes as studied by infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of bridging N- and S- bonding modes. Detailed kinetic studies of these complexes were carried in the evaluation of their catecholase activity. The Fe(III) complex demonstrated the highest catalytic activity using 3,5-di-tert-butyl catechol (3,5-DTBC) as substrate with a turnover rate (kcat) of 112.32 h−1.

ABSTRACTd-Alanine:d-alanine ligase (EC 6.3.2.4; Ddl) catalyzes the ATP-driven ligation of twod-alanine (d-Ala) molecules to form thed-alanyl:d-alanine dipeptide. This molecule is a key building block in peptidoglycan biosynthesis, making Ddl an attractive target for drug development.d-Cycloserine (DCS), an analog ofd-Ala and a prototype Ddl inhibitor, has shown promise for the treatment of tuberculosis. Here, we report the crystal structure ofMycobacterium tuberculosisDdl at a resolution of 2.1 Å. This structure indicates that Ddl is a dimer and consists of three discrete domains; the ligand binding cavity is at the intersection of all three domains and conjoined by several loop regions. TheM. tuberculosisapo Ddl structure shows a novel conformation that has not yet been observed in Ddl enzymes from other species. The nucleotide andd-alanine binding pockets are flexible, requiring significant structural rearrangement of the bordering regions for entry and binding of both ATP andd-Ala molecules. Solution affinity and kinetic studies showed that DCS interacts with Ddl in a manner similar to that observed ford-Ala. Each ligand binds to two binding sites that have significant differences in affinity, with the first binding site exhibiting high affinity. DCS inhibits the enzyme, with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.37 mM under standard assay conditions, implicating a preferential and weak inhibition at the second, lower-affinity binding site. Moreover, DCS binding is tighter at higher ATP concentrations. The crystal structure illustrates potential drugable sites that may result in the development of more-effective Ddl inhibitors.

A new “end-off” compartmental Mannich ligand (HL1) namely 3-((bis(2-methoxyethyl)amino)methyl)-5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde containing two methoxyethyl pendant arms and one-CHO functionality has been synthesized through conventional C-C and C-N coupling reactions. On treatment with...
