Genome of the epiphytic bacterium Achromobacter denitrificans strain EPI24, isolated from a macroalga located in the Colombian Caribbean.

Marine macroalgae are being recognized as reservoirs of biologically active compounds, as their surfaces are susceptible to the colonization of microorganisms which can produce enzymes with a wide range of molecular architectures. Among these bacteria, Achromobacter is responsible for the biosynthesis of laccases. In this research, we performed a bioinformatic pipeline to annotate the sequenced complete genome of the epiphytic bacterium Achromobacter denitrificans strain EPI24, from the macroalgal surface of the Ulva lactuca species; this strain showed laccase activity which has been previously assessed on plate assays. The genome of A. denitrificans strain EPI24 has a size of ∼6.95 Mb, a GC content of 67.33%, and 6,603 protein-coding genes. The functional annotation of the A. denitrificans strain EPI24 genome confirmed the presence of genes encoding for laccases, which could have functional properties of interest in processes such as the biodegradation of phenolic compounds under versatile and efficient conditions.

Synthesis, crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and energy framework calculations of trans-3,7,9,9-tetra-methyl-10-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1,2,3,4,4a,9,9a,10-octa-hydro-acridine.

The title heterocyclic compound, C20H27N, has been prepared in good yield (72%) via a BiCl3-catalyzed cationic Povarov reaction between N-propargyl-4-methyl-aniline and (±)-citronellal. The X-ray single-crystal study indicates that the structure consists of mol-ecules connected by C-H⋯π contacts to produce chains, which pack in a sandwich-herringbone fashion along the b-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that H⋯H inter-actions dominate by contributing 79.1% to the total surface. Energy frameworks and DFT calculations indicate a major contribution of dispersive forces to the total inter-action energy.

Facile and highly diastereo and regioselective synthesis of novel octahydroacridine-isoxazole and octahydroacridine-1,2,3-triazole molecular hybrids from citronella essential oil.

A novel and highly efficient synthetic approach for the expedite construction of new octahydroacridine-isoxazole- and octahydroacridine-1,2,3-triazole-based molecular hybrids is first reported. Rapid access to the octahydroacridine core was achieved in a highly diastereoselective fashion via cationic Povarov reaction of N-propargyl anilines and citronella essential oil (Cymbopogon nardus). The subsequent 1,3-dipolar and Cu (I) catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction of the terminal alkyne fragment with the corresponding oxime or azide affords the desired 3,5-isoxazoles and 1,2,3-triazoles, respectively, as interesting molecular hybrid models for pharmacological studies.

Synthesis of new N-phenyl-N-(1-phenylhex- 5-en-1-yl)acetamides and their ¹H-NMR conformational study / Síntesis de nuevas N-fenil- N-(1-fenilhex-5-en-1-il) acetamidas y su estudio conformacional mediante ¹H-RMN / Síntese de novas N-fenil- N-(1-fenilhex-5-en-1-il) acetamidas e o seu estudo conformacional por ¹H-RMN

Antifungal and antiparasitic activities for N-acetyl derivatives of different N-(prop)butenylamines have been previously evaluated and reported. Consequently, an efficient and versatile synthesis procedure and complete characterization of different N-phenyl-N-(1-phenylhex-5-en-1-yl)acetamides is presented. Two conformational isomers were observed for one of the compounds in their ¹H/13C-NMR spectra. The conformational analysis was carried out using the B3LYP functional with the 6-31+G(2d,p) basis and the NMR spectroscopic data. The dihedral angle values of the allylic system obtained by both computational methods and ¹H-NMR data analysis (Garbisch's equation) were compared and used to successfully determine the conformational structures and the intramolecular interaction responsible for signal duplicity and chemical shifting respectively.

Previamente se han evaluado y reportado las propiedades antifúngicas y antiparasitarias para derivados de N-acetil procedentes de diferentes N-(prop)butenilaminas. En este sentido, la esta investigación presenta un procedimiento de síntesis versátil y eficiente, con la caracterización completa de diferentes N-fenil-N-(1-fenilhex-5- en-1-yl)acetamidas. Se observaron dos isómeros conformacionales para uno de los compuestos en su espectro ¹H/13CRMN. El análisis conformacional se llevó a cabo usando B3LYP funcional con base en 6-31+G(2d,p) y los datos de espectroscopia RMN. Los valores de ángulo dihedro del sistema alílico -obtenidos por los métodos computacionales citados y el análisis de los datos derivados de ¹H-RMN usando la ecuación de Garbisch-, se compararon y se usaron para determinar exitosamente las estructuras conformacionales isoméricas y la interacción intramolecular responsables de la duplicidad de señales y del desplazamiento químico, respectivamente.
