- Microwave-enhanced Friedl?nder synthesis for the rapid assembly of halogenated quinolines with antibacterial and biofilm eradication activities against drug resistant and tolerant bacteria
-
Herein, we disclose the development of a catalyst- and protecting-group-free microwave-enhanced Friedl?nder synthesis which permits the single-step, convergent assembly of diverse 8-hydroxyquinolines with greatly improved reaction yields over traditional oil bath heating (increased from 34% to 72%). This rapid synthesis permitted the discovery of novel biofilm-eradicating halogenated quinolines (MBECs = 1.0-23.5 μM) active against MRSA, MRSE, and VRE. These small molecules exhibit activity through mechanisms independent of membrane lysis, further demonstrating their potential as a clinically useful treatment option against persistent biofilm-associated infections.

- A Phytochemical-Halogenated Quinoline Combination Therapy Strategy for the Treatment of Pathogenic Bacteria
-
With the continued rise of drug-resistant bacterial infections coupled with the current discouraging state of the antibiotic pipeline, the need for new antibacterial agents that operate through unique mechanisms compared with conventional antibiotics and work in synergy with other agents is at an all-time high. We have discovered that gallic acid, a plant-derived phytochemical, dramatically potentiates the antibacterial activities of several halogenated quinolines (up to 11 800-fold potentiation against Staphylococcus aureus) against pathogenic bacteria, including drug-resistant clinical isolates. S. aureus demonstrated the highest sensitivity towards gallic acid-halogenated quinoline combinations, including one halogenated quinoline that demonstrated potentiation of biofilm eradication activity against a methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) clinical isolate. During our studies, we also demonstrated that these halogenated quionlines operate through an interesting metal(II) cation-dependent mechanism and display promising mammalian cytotoxicity.

- Chemoselective reduction and self-immolation based FRET probes for detecting hydrogen sulfide in solution and in cells
-
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been regarded as the third gaseous transmitter. Based on the mechanism of chemoselective azido reduction and self-immolation, five fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) probes for the detection of H2S were designed and synthesized. The effect of functional substitution of the self-immolative moiety on azido reduction and quinone-methide rearrangement were investigated. Their fluorescence responses and chemoselectivity for H2S detection were evaluated in solutions and in cells. This strategy may provide a general route for designing H 2S probes with many commercially available FRET pairs. the Partner Organisations 2014.

- A green chemistry method for the regeneration of carbonyl compounds from oximes by using cupric chloride dihydrate as a recoverable promoter for hydrolysis
-
A mild, efficient, general, and green method for the regeneration of carbonyl compounds from their corresponding oximes is described. Cupric salts promoted hydrolysis of oximes was studied, and the best reaction conditions for the hydrolysis have been found. Carbonyl compounds were obtained in 85-98% yields after the treatment of oximes with 2 molar equivalent of CuCl 22H2O at reflux (around 75 C) in a mixed solvent of acetonitrile and water (4:1). In addition, cupric salt was readily recovered in an almost quantitative yield via the complete precipitation of Cu(OH) 22H2O. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.

- Potential photoaffinity labels for tubulin. Synthesis and evaluation of diazocyclohexadienone and azide analogs of colchicine, combretastatin, and 3,4,5-trimethoxybiphenyl
-
Analogs of tubulin assembly inhibitors such as colchicine, combretastatin, and 3,4,5-trimethoxybiphenyl which incorporate a 6-diazo-2,4-cyclohexadienone (o-quinone diazide) ring have been synthesized and characterized. The compounds synthesized include 6-diazo-4-(2',3',4'-trimethoxyphenyl)cyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-one and its 3-methyl and 3-ethyl analogs (1a-c), 6-diazo-3-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-cyclohexadien-1-one and its 4-methyl and 4-ethyl derivatives (2a-c), 4-[Z-2-(3',4',5'-trimethoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-6-diazocyclohexa-2,4-dienon e (3), 3-[Z-2-(3',4',5'-trimethoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-6-diazocyclohexa-2,4-dien-1 -one (4), the corresponding dihydro derivatives (5, 6) and two isomeric diazocyclohexadienones derived from N-acetylcolchinol (7, 8). Compounds in which the cyclohexadienone oxygen is approximately isostructural with carbonyl or hydroxy functions of the parent compounds exhibit good activity in the tubulin assembly inhibition assay. 2'-Alkyl-4'azido-3,4,5-trimethoxy-1,1'-biphenyls also show good activity as tubulin assembly inhibitors.
