RESUMO
UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase (LpxC) is a zinc amidase that catalyzes the second step of the biosynthesis of lipid A, which is an outer membrane essential structural component of Gram-negative bacteria. Inhibitors of this enzyme can be attributed to two main categories, non-hydroxamate and hydroxamate inhibitors, with the latter being the most effective given the chelation of Zn2+ in the active site. Compounds containing diacetylene or acetylene tails and the sulfonic head, as well as oxazoline derivatives of hydroxamic acids, are among the LpxC inhibitors with the most profound antibacterial activity. The present article describes the synthesis of novel functional derivatives of hydroxamic acids-bioisosteric to oxazoline inhibitors-containing 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-oxadiazole cores and studies of their cytotoxicity, antibacterial activity, and antibiotic potentiation. Some of the hydroxamic acids we obtained (9c, 9d, 23a, 23c, 30b, 36) showed significant potentiation in nalidixic acid, rifampicin, and kanamycin against the growth of laboratory-strain Escherichia coli MG1655. Two lead compounds (9c, 9d) significantly reduced Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 growth in the presence of nalidixic acid and rifampicin.

This article describes the synthesis and antiviral activity evaluation of new substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles containing a bicyclic substituent at position 5 of the heterocycle and O-acylated amidoximes as precursors for their synthesis. New compounds were obtained from the (+)-camphor derivative (+)-ketopinic acid. The chemical library was tested in vitro for cytotoxicity against the MDCK cell line and for antiviral activity against influenza viruses of H1N1 and H7N9 subtypes. The synthesised compounds exhibited high virus-inhibiting activity against the H1N1 influenza virus. Some synthesised compounds were also active against the influenza virus of a different antigenic subtype: H7N9. The mechanism of the virus-inhibiting activity of these compounds is based on their interference with the fusion activity of viral hemagglutinin (HA). No interference with the receptor-binding activity of HA has been demonstrated. According to molecular docking results, the selective antiviral activity of O-acylated amidoximes and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles is associated with their structural features. O-Acylated amidoximes are likely more complementary to the binding site located at the site of the fusion peptide, and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles are more complimentary to the site located at the site of proteolysis. Significant differences in the amino acid residues of the binding sites of HA's of different types allow us to explain the selective antiviral activity of the compounds under study.

An effective technique for one-stage synthesis of new polycyclic nitrogen-containing compounds has been developed. The procedure involves refluxing mixtures of camphoric acid with aliphatic or aromatic diamine without catalysts. In cases where the starting amine has a low boiling point (less than 200 °C), phenol is used as a solvent, as it is the most optimal one for obtaining products with good yields. It has been shown that the use of Lewis acids as catalysts reduces the yield of the reaction products. A set of compounds have been synthesized, which can be attributed to synthetic analogues of alkaloids. In vitro screening for activity influenza virus A was carried out for the obtained compounds. The synthesized quinazoline-like agent 14 has inhibitory activity against different strains of influenza viruses.

Directed transformation of available natural compounds with native biological activity is a promising area of research in organic and medicinal chemistry aimed at finding effective drug substances. The number of scientific publications devoted to the transformation of natural compounds and investigations of their pharmacological properties, in particular, monoterpenes and their nearest derivatives, increases every year. At the same time, the chemistry of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds has been actively developed since the 1950s after the news that the benzimidazole core is an integral part of the structure of vitamin B12. At the time of writing this review, the data on chemical modifications of monoterpenes and their nearest derivatives leading to formation of compounds with a nitrogen-containing heterocycle core have not been summarized and systematized in terms of chemical transformations. In this review, we tried to summarize the literature data on the preparation and properties of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds synthesized from monoterpenes/monoterpenoids and their nearest derivatives for the period from 2000 to 2021.

The possibility of a single-stage solvent-free stereoselective synthesis of a spirocyclic compound from the natural bicyclic monoterpenoid (-)-fenchone and anthranilamide has been shown for the first time. The molecular and crystal structure of (1R,2S,4S)-1,3,3-trimethyl-1'H-spiro[bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,2'-quinazolin]-4'(3'H)-one, C17H22N2O, was established by X-ray diffraction though the chirality was assumed via the known reactant connectivity and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. It has shown that in the molecule, for steric reasons, there is an elongation of the Me2C-C(N)N bond to 1.603â (5)â Å. The formation of dimers via N-H...O=C hydrogen bonds with an interaction energy of 93.30â kJâ mol-1 and through cavities (33.7% of the unit-cell volume) was established in the packing of the molecules. There are no π-stacking interactions in the structure.
