Background: Food chemicals are a cornerstone in the food industry. However, its chemical diversity has been explored on a limited basis, for instance, previous analysis of food-related databases were done up to 2,200 molecules. The goal of this work was to quantify the chemical diversity of chemical compounds stored in FooDB, a database with nearly 24,000 food chemicals. Methods: The visual representation of the chemical space of FooDB was done with ChemMaps, a novel approach based on the concept of chemical satellites. The large food chemical database was profiled based on physicochemical properties, molecular complexity and scaffold content. The global diversity of FooDB was characterized using Consensus Diversity Plots. Results: It was found that compounds in FooDB are very diverse in terms of properties and structure, with a large structural complexity. It was also found that one third of the food chemicals are acyclic molecules and ring-containing molecules are mostly monocyclic, with several scaffolds common to natural products in other databases. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first analysis of the chemical diversity and complexity of FooDB. This study represents a step further to the emerging field of “Food Informatics”. Future study should compare directly the chemical structures of the molecules in FooDB with other compound databases, for instance, drug-like databases and natural products collections. An additional future direction of this work is to use the list of 3,228 polyphenolic compounds identified in this work to enhance the on-going polyphenol-protein interactome studies.

Introduction: Miuraenamides belong to marine natural compounds with interesting biological properties. Materials and Methods: They initiate polymerization of monomeric actin and therefore show high cytotoxicity by influencing the cytoskeleton. New derivatives of the miuraenamides have been synthesized containing a N-methylated amide bond instead of the more easily hydrolysable ester in the natural products. Results: Incorporation of an aromatic side chain onto the C-terminal amino acid of the tripeptide fragment also led to highly active new miuraenamides. Conclusion: We could show that the ester bond of the natural product miuraenamide can be replaced by an N-methyl amide. The yields in the cyclization step are high and generally much better that with the corresponding esters. On the other hand, the biological activity of the new amide analogs are lower compared to the natural products, but the activity can significantly be increased by incorporation of a p-nitrophenyl group at the C-terminus of the peptide fragment.

Readily available 4-bromobenzo[c][2,7]naphthyridine undergoes regioselective direct ring metalation at C-5 with TMPMgCl∙LiCl at −40 °C. Quenching with various electrophiles gives a broad range of 5-substituted products, which are building blocks for the synthesis of heterocyclic natural products and analogues thereof. In combination with a Parham-type cyclization a novel approach to pyrido[4,3,2-mn]acridones has been worked out.
