ABSTRACT Pantothenate kinase (CoaA) catalyzes the first step of the coenzyme A biosynthetic pathway. Here we report the identification of the Staphylococcus aureus coaA gene and characterization of the enzyme. We have also identified a series of low-molecular-weight compounds which are effective inhibitors of S. aureus CoaA.

AbstractIn this paper a synthesis method for low molecular weight poly(orthoesters) with photo crosslinkable methacrylate endgroups is presented. Using this procedure, the molecular weight could be controlled and the desired endgroup functionality was introduced in a single reaction step. The detailed characterization of the molecular structure of bismethacrylate endcapped poly(ortho-esters) using NMR affords a re-evaluation of previous assignments reported for similar poly(ortho-ester) polymers. In addition, the use of diffusion filtered 1D 1H NMR spectroscopy as a simple but effective analysis tool that allows to distinguish resonance contributions from impurities and low molecular weight compounds, most probably the result of degradation, from those of the full size polymer, is demonstrated.

Microfibers were obtained from organic low molecular weight compounds based on heteroaromatic and aromatic rings connected by aliphatic spacers. The obtaining of microfibers was proved by scanning electron microscopy. The deciphering of the mechanism of microfiber formation has been elucidated by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy measurements. By exciting with light of different wavelength, florescence microscopy revealed a specific optical response, recommending these materials for light sensing applications.

Inhibitors of cholinesterases are a wide group of low molecular weight compounds with a significant role in the current pharmacology. Besides the pharmacological importance, they are also known as toxic compounds like military nerve agents. In the pharmacology, drugs for Alzheimer disease, myasthenia gravis and prophylaxis of poisoning by nerve agents can be mentioned as the relevant applications. Besides this, anti-inflammation and antiphrastic drugs are other pharmacological applications of these inhibitors. This review is focused on a survey of cholinesterase inhibitors with known or expected pharmacological impact and indications of their use. Recent literature with comments is provided here as well.
