Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are ubiquitous and essential enzymes for protein synthesis and also a variety of other metabolic processes, especially in bacterial species. Bacterial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases represent attractive and validated targets for antimicrobial drug discovery if issues of prokaryotic versus eukaryotic selectivity and antibiotic resistance generation can be addressed. We have determined high-resolution X-ray crystal structures of the Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus seryl-tRNA synthetases in complex with aminoacyl adenylate analogues and applied a structure-based drug discovery approach to explore and identify a series of small molecule inhibitors that selectively inhibit bacterial seryl-tRNA synthetases with greater than 2 orders of magnitude compared to their human homologue, demonstrating a route to the selective chemical inhibition of these bacterial targets.

1,2,2,2-Tetrachloroethyl chloroformate reacts with substituted phenols or N-hydroxy imides to yield crystalline and stable mixed aryl or oximido tetrachloroethyl carbonates.When allowed to react with an N-protected amino acid derivative, these compounds proved to be efficient for the syntheses of the corresponding active esters.A series of active esters including p-nitrophenol, trichlorophenol, pentafluorophenol, and N-hydroxysuccinimide derivatives were prepared by this new procedure.
