RESUMEN
A number of 1,2-benzothiazines have been synthesized in a three-step process. Nine chalcones 1-9 bearing methyl, fluoro, chloro and bromo substituents were chlorosulfonated with chlorosulfonic acid to generate the chalcone sulfonyl chlorides 10-18. These were converted to the dibromo compounds 19-27 through reaction with bromine in glacial acetic acid. Compounds 19-27 were reacted with ammonia, methylamine, ethylamine, aniline and benzylamine to generate a library of 45 1,2-benzothiazines 28-72. Compounds 28-72 were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity using broth microdilution techniques against two Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Proteus vulgaris and Salmonella typhimurium). The results demonstrated that none of the compounds showed any activity against Gram-negative bacteria P. vulgaris and S. typhimurium; however, compounds 31, 33, 38, 43, 45, 50, 53, 55, 58, 60, 63 and 68 showed activity against Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcous aureus. The range of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was 25-600 µg/mL, though some of the MIC and MBC concentrations were high, indicating weak activity. Structure activity relationship studies revealed that the compounds with a hydrogen atom or an ethyl group on the nitrogen of the thiazine ring exerted antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The results also showed that the compounds where the benzene ring of the benzoyl moiety contained a methyl group or a chlorine or bromine atom in the para position showed higher antimicrobial activity. Similar influences were identified where either a bromine or chlorine atom was in the meta position.

Macromolecule branching upon polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) via "click" chemistry has previously been reported for promoting natural biological responses in vitro, particularly when regarding their demonstrated biocompatibility and structural robustness as potential macromolecule anchoring points. However, "clicking" of large molecules around POSS structures uncovers two main challenges: (1) a synthetic challenge encompassing multi-covalent attachment of macromolecules to a single nanoscale-central position, and (2) purification and separation of fully adorned nanocages from those that are incomplete due to their similar physical characteristics. Here we present peptide decoration to a T8POSS nanocage through the attachment of azido-modified trimers. Triglycine- and trialanine-methyl esters "clicked" to 97% and 92% completion, respectively, resulting in 84% and 68% yields of the fully-adorned octamers. The "clicks" halt within 27-h of the reaction time, and efforts to further increase the octamer yield were of negligible benefit. Exploration of reaction conditions reveals multiple factors preventing full octa-arm modification to all available POSS nanocages, and offers insights into macromolecule attachment between both peptides and small inorganic-organic structures, all of which require consideration for future work of this nature.
