RESUMEN
This study reports the in silico design of 30 6H-1,2-oxazin-6-ones against DHFR and PTC antimicrobial targets. Docking compounds 1, 3, 4, 6, and 8 with both enzymes was favorable, outperforming Trimethoprim with DHFR. Therefore, 12 6H-1,2-oxazin-6-ones, including the most promising compounds, were synthesized through an aminolysis reaction of ß-cyanoketones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, obtaining moderate to high yields (55-88%). Subsequently, antibacterial studies were conducted against five bacteria: four Gram-positive MRSA (ATCC 43300 and three clinical isolates) and one Gram-negative (E. coli ATCC 25922). Compounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 inhibited bacterial growth with MIC values ranging from 3.125 to 200 µg mL-1. Compound 1 showed better activity against Gram-positive bacteria than Linezolid. Toxicity assays indicated no adverse effects of the active oxazinones in silico and in vitro. This study demonstrated the antibacterial potential of the selected 6H-1,2-oxazin-6-ones against resistant human pathogenic bacteria.
RESUMEN
Nowadays, infectious diseases caused by drug-resistant bacteria have become especially important. Linezolid is an antibacterial drug active against clinically important Gram positive strains; however, resistance showed by these bacteria has been reported. Nanotechnology has improved a broad area of science, such as medicine, developing new drug delivery and transport systems. In this work, several covalently bounded conjugated nanomaterials were synthesized from multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), a different length oligoethylene chain (S n ), and two linezolid precursors (4 and 7), and they were evaluated in antibacterial assays. Interestingly, due to the intrinsic antibacterial activity of the amino-oligoethylene linezolid analogues, these conjugated nanomaterials showed significant antibacterial activity against various tested bacterial strains in a radial diffusion assay and microdilution method, including Gram negative strains as Escherichia coli (11 mm, 6.25 µg mL-1) and Salmonella typhi (14 mm, ≤0.78 µg mL-1), which are not inhibited by linezolid. The results show a significant effect of the oligoethylene chain length over the antibacterial activity. Molecular docking of amino-oligoethylene linezolid analogs shows a more favorable interaction of the S 2-7 analog in the PTC of E. coli.
RESUMEN
The stereoselective synthesis and anti- Hymenolepis nana activity of six Linezolid-type compounds, obtained by chemical modification of l-Alanine, are reported in this work. The synthetic strategy was to prepare diasteromeric N,N-dibenzylamino oxazolidinones 1 and 2, and coupling with 4-(4-bromophenyl)morpholine (3) to obtain N,N-dibenzylamino Linezolid analogues 4 and 5. A hydrogenolysis reaction over 4 and 5 resulted in amino-free Linezolid analogues 6 and 7, which were acetylated to reach diasteromeric Linezolid analogues 8 and 9. The six Linezolid analogues 4-9 show in vitro antiparasitic activity against Hymenolepis nana cestode, but not against several bacterial strains. Interestingly, compounds 6, 7 and 9 exhibit high potency, having shorter paralysis and death times after exposure (6-10 and 18-21 min, respectively), shorter than those found with antihelmintic compound Praziquantel (20 and 30 min) at 20 mg/mL. In addition, a cytocompatibility assay of 6-9 with human cells (ARPE-19 cells) demonstrate a non-cytotoxic effect at 0.4 mM. These results show the pharmacological potential of the newly reported Linezolid-type analogues as antiparasitic agents against Hymenolepis nana.

Worldwide studies towards development of new drugs with a lower rate in emergence of bacterial resistance have been conducted. The molecular docking analysis gives a possibility to predict the activity of new compounds before to perform their synthesis. In this work, the molecular docking analysis of 64 Linezolid dipeptide-type analogues was performed to predict their activity. The most negative scores correspond to six Fmoc-protected analogues (9as, 9bs, 9bu, 10as, 10ax and 10ay) where Fmoc group interacts in PTC for Linezolid. Twenty-six different Fmoc-protected Linezolid dipeptide-type analogues 9(as-bz) and 10(as-bz) were synthesized and tested in antimicrobial experiments. Compounds 9as, 9ay, 9ax, 10as, 10ay and 9bu show significant activity against group A Streptococcus clinical isolated. Analogue 10ay also display high activity against ATCC 25923 Staphylococcus aureus strain and MRSA-3, MRSA-4 and MRSA-5 clinical isolates, with MIC values lower than Linezolid. The highest activity against multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was exhibited by 9bu. Finally, a cytotoxicity assay with ARPE-19 human cells revealed a non-cytotoxic effect of 9bu and 10ay at 50 and 25 µM, respectively.

A regioselective synthesis has been developed for the preparation of a series of N,N'-disubstituted 4,4'-carbonylbis(carbamoylbenzoic) acids and N,N'-disubstituted bis(carbamoyl) terephthalic acids by treatment of 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (1) and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (2) with arylalkyl primary amines (A-N). The carbamoylcarboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized with good yield and high purity. The specific reaction conditions were established to obtain carbamoyl and carboxylic acid functionalities over the thermodynamically most favored imide group. Products derived from both anhydrides 1 and 2 were isolated as pure regioisomeric compounds under innovative experimental conditions. The chemo- and regioselectivity of products derived from dianhydrides were determined by NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by density functional theory (DFT). All products were characterized by NMR, FTIR, and MS.
