The emergence of drug-resistant microbes left us with a great need for new antimicrobial agents. Flavonoids, with their wide range of biological activities, are good candidates in this respect. Although naturally occurring flavonoids are the most studied ones, semi-synthetic or synthetic flavonoids have proven to have great potential, inhibiting and even killing microbes at concentrations below 1 μg ml−1. The substitution pattern of these flavonoids often includes hydroxy groups, halogens or other heteroatomic rings, such as pyridine, piperidine or 1,3-dithiolium cations. However, the great variety in substituents makes it difficult to draw any definitive conclusion regarding their structure–activity relationship. 相似文献

An efficient one-pot synthesis of heterocycle-fused 1,2,3-triazole derivatives as anti-cancer agents
Sheng-Jiao Yan Yong-Jiang Liu Yu-Lan Chen Lin Liu Jun Lin 《Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters》2010,20(17):5225-5228
A series of heterocycle-fused 1,2,3-triazoles were easily prepared by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of heterocyclic ketene aminals or N,O-acetals with sodium azide and polyhalo isophthalonitriles in a one-pot reaction at room temperature without a catalyst and evaluated in vitro against a panel of human tumour cell lines. 1,3-Oxazoheterocycle fused 1,2,3-triazoles were more potent against the tumour cell lines Skov-3, HL-60, A431, A549 and HepG-2 than 1,3-diazoheterocycle fused 1,2,3-triazoles. 4-Methoxyphenyl substituted 1,3-oxazoheterocycle fused 1,2,3-triazole 6j was found to be the most potent derivative with IC50 values lower than 1.9 μg/mL against A431 and K562 human tumour cell lines. 相似文献

Plants evoke innate immunity against microbial challenges upon recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as fungal cell wall chitin. Nevertheless, pathogens may circumvent the host PAMP-triggered immunity. We previously reported that the ascomycete Magnaporthe oryzae, a famine-causing rice pathogen, masks cell wall surfaces with α-1,3-glucan during invasion. Here, we show that the surface α-1,3-glucan is indispensable for the successful infection of the fungus by interfering with the plant''s defense mechanisms. The α-1,3-glucan synthase gene MgAGS1 was not essential for infectious structure development but was required for infection in M. oryzae. Lack or degradation of surface α-1,3-glucan increased fungal susceptibility towards chitinase, suggesting the protective role of α-1,3-glucan against plants'' antifungal enzymes during infection. Furthermore, rice plants secreting bacterial α-1,3-glucanase (AGL-rice) showed strong resistance not only to M. oryzae but also to the phylogenetically distant ascomycete Cochlioborus miyabeanus and the polyphagous basidiomycete Rhizoctonia solani; the histocytochemical analysis of the latter two revealed that α-1,3-glucan also concealed cell wall chitin in an infection-specific manner. Treatment with α-1,3-glucanase in vitro caused fragmentation of infectious hyphae in R. solani but not in M. oryzae or C. miyabeanus, indicating that α-1,3-glucan is also involved in maintaining infectious structures in some fungi. Importantly, rapid defense responses were evoked (a few hours after inoculation) in the AGL-rice inoculated with M. oryzae, C. miyabeanus and R. solani as well as in non-transgenic rice inoculated with the ags1 mutant. Taken together, our results suggest that α-1,3-glucan protected the fungal cell wall from degradative enzymes secreted by plants even from the pre-penetration stage and interfered with the release of PAMPs to delay innate immune defense responses. Because α-1,3-glucan is nondegradable in plants, it is reasonable that many fungal plant pathogens utilize α-1,3-glucan in the innate immune evasion mechanism and some in maintaining the structures. 相似文献

3,4-Dihydro-2H,6H-pyrimido[1,2-c][1,3]benzothiazin-6-imine (PD 404182) is an antiretroviral agent with submicromolar inhibitory activity against human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) and HIV-2 infection. In the current study, the structure–activity relationships of accessory groups at the 3- and 9-positions of pyrimido[1,2-c][1,3]benzothiazin-6-imine were investigated for the development of more potent anti-HIV agents. Several different derivatives containing a 9-aryl group were designed and synthesized using Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling and Ullmann coupling reactions. Modification of the m-methoxyphenyl or benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl group resulted in improved anti-HIV activity. In addition, the 2,4-diazaspiro[5.5]undec-2-ene-fused benzo[e][1,3]thiazine derivatives were designed and tested for their anti-HIV activities. The most potent 9-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl) derivative was two–threefold more effective against several strains of HIV-1 and HIV-2 than the parent compound, PD 404182. 相似文献

In this study, the enzymatic synthesis of phenylacetoyl glycerol ester was carried out as a response to the increasing consumer demand for natural compounds. 1,3-dihydroxyphenylacetoyl-sn-Glycerol (1,3-di-HPA-Gly), labeled as “natural” compound with interesting biological properties, has been successfully synthesized for the first time in good yield by a direct esterification of glycerol (Gly) with p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (p-HPA) using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase as a biocatalyst. Spectroscopic analyses of purified esters showed that the glycerol was mono- or di-esterified on the primary hydroxyl group. These compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant activity using two different tests. The glycerol di-esters (1,3-di-HPA-Gly) showed a higher antiradical capacity than that of the butyl hydroxytoluene. Furthermore, compared to the p-HPA, synthesized ester (1,3-di-HPA-Gly) exhibited the most antibacterial effect mainly against Gram + bacteria. Among synthesized esters the 1,3-di-HPA-Gly was most effective as antioxidant and antibacterial compound. These findings could be the basis for a further exploitation of the new compound, 1,3-di-HPA-Gly, as antioxidant and antibacterial active ingredient in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical fields. 相似文献

Synthesis and in vitro antifungal evaluations of 1,3-benzoxazole-7-carbonitrile 3, 1,3-benzoxazole-4-carbonitrile 4, benzofuran 5, benzoxazine 7, and benzimidazole 8 were reported. Among them, 1,3-benzoxazole-4-carbonitrile was found to be a superior scaffold structure with moderate growth inhibition against Candida species. 1,3-Benzoxazole-4-carbonitrile 6 showed potent activity against Candida species compared to 5-desmethyl compound 4 and triazolopyridine 2. Compound 6 was efficiently prepared from versatile intermediate 24, which possessed six different substituents on the benzene ring. Conversion of benzene 24 into various 1,3-benzoxazole derivatives such as 2-aliphatic 34, 2-amino 35, and lactone 38 was demonstrated. 相似文献

Termites exploit environments that make them susceptible to infection and rapid disease transmission. Gram-negative bacteria binding proteins (GNBPs) signal the presence of microbes and in some insects directly damage fungal pathogens with β-1,3-glucanase activity. The subterranean termites Reticulitermes flavipes and Reticulitermes virginicus encounter soil entomopathogenic fungi such as Metarhizium anisopliae, which can evade host immune responses after penetrating the cuticle. An external defense that prevents invasion of fungal pathogens could be crucial in termites, allowing them to thrive under high pathogenic pressures. We investigated the role of secreted β-1,3-glucanases in Reticulitermes defenses against M. anisopliae. Our results show that these termites secrete antifungal β-1,3-glucanases on the cuticle, and the specific inhibition of GNBP associated β-1,3-glucanase activity with d-δ-gluconolactone (GDL) reduces this activity and can cause significant increases in mortality after exposure to M. anisopliae. Secreted β-1,3-glucanases appear to be essential in preventing infection by breaking down fungi externally. 相似文献

Spodoptera frugiperda β-1,3-glucanase (SLam) was purified from larval midgut. It has a molecular mass of 37.5 kDa, an alkaline optimum pH of 9.0, is active against β-1,3-glucan (laminarin), but cannot hydrolyze yeast β-1,3-1,6-glucan or other polysaccharides. The enzyme is an endoglucanase with low processivity (0.4), and is not inhibited by high concentrations of substrate. In contrast to other digestive β-1,3-glucanases from insects, SLam is unable to lyse Saccharomyces cerevisae cells. The cDNA encoding SLam was cloned and sequenced, showing that the protein belongs to glycosyl hydrolase family 16 as other insect glucanases and glucan-binding proteins. Multiple sequence alignment of β-1,3-glucanases and β-glucan-binding protein supports the assumption that the β-1,3-glucanase gene duplicated in the ancestor of mollusks and arthropods. One copy originated the derived β-1,3-glucanases by the loss of an extended N-terminal region and the β-glucan-binding proteins by the loss of the catalytic residues. SLam homology modeling suggests that E228 may affect the ionization of the catalytic residues, thus displacing the enzyme pH optimum. SLam antiserum reacts with a single protein in the insect midgut. Immunocytolocalization shows that the enzyme is present in secretory vesicles and glycocalyx from columnar cells. 相似文献

In this work, we identified a gene from Theobroma cacao L. genome and cDNA libraries, named TcGlu2, that encodes a β-1,3-1,4-glucanase. The TcGlu2 ORF was 720 bp in length and encoded a polypeptide of 239 amino acids with a molecular mass of 25.58 kDa. TcGlu2 contains a conserved domain characteristic of β-1,3-1,4-glucanases and presented high protein identity with β-1,3-1,4-glucanases from other plant species. Molecular modeling of TcGlu2 showed an active site of 13 amino acids typical of glucanase with β-1,3 and 1,4 action mode. The recombinant cDNA TcGlu2 obtained by heterologous expression in Escherichia coli and whose sequence was confirmed by mass spectrometry, has a molecular mass of about 22 kDa (with His-Tag) and showed antifungal activity against the fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa, causal agent of the witches’ broom disease in cacao. The integrity of the hyphae membranes of M. perniciosa, incubated with protein TcGlu2, was analyzed with propidium iodide. After 1 h of incubation, a strong fluorescence emitted by the hyphae indicating the hydrolysis of the membrane by TcGlu2, was observed. To our knowledge, this is the first study of a cacao β-1,3-1,4-glucanase expression in heterologous system and the first analysis showing the antifungal activity of a β-1,3-1,4-glucanase, in particular against M. perniciosa. 相似文献

Pasteuria penetrans isolate P-20 has been attributed as the cause of soil suppressiveness to peanut root-knot nematode in Florida. In this study, P. penetrans was transferred from a suppressive site to a new site and established by growing susceptible hosts to the peanut root-knot nematode during both summer and winter seasons. When two soil fumigants, 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) and chloropicrin, were applied broadcast at the rate of 168 liters/ha and 263 kg/ha, respectively, the bacterium was not adversely affected by 1,3-D but was adversely affected by chloropicrin. In autumn 2005, after the harvest of the second peanut crop, the greatest number of J2 was recorded in the chloropicrin-treated plots, followed by the non-fumigated plots and 1,3-D-fumigated plots. The percentage J2 encumbered with endospores, endospores per J2 and percentage of P. penetrans-infected females were greatest in the non-fumigated plots, followed by 1,3-D- and chloropicrin-fumigated plots. This study demonstrates that P. penetrans can be transferred from a suppressive site to a new site and increased to suppressive densities against the peanut root-knot nematode. 相似文献

The biochemical properties of a putative β-1,3-xylanase from the hyperthermophilic eubacterium Thermotoga neapolitana DSM 4359 were determined from a recombinant protein (TnXyn26A) expressed in Escherichia coli. This enzyme showed specific hydrolytic activity against β-1,3-xylan and released β-1,3-xylobiose and β-1,3-xylotriose as main products. It displayed maximum activity at 85 °C during a 10-min incubation, and its activity half-life was 23.9 h at 85 °C. Enzyme activity was stable in the pH range 3–10, with pH 6.5 being optimal. Enzyme activity was significantly inhibited by the presence of N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). The insoluble β-1,3-xylan K m value was 10.35 mg/ml and the k cat value was 588.24 s?1. The observed high thermostability and catalytic efficiency of TnXyn26A is both industrially desirable and also aids an understanding of the chemistry of its hydrolytic reaction. 相似文献

β-1,3-glucanase is an important cell wall-degrading enzyme involved in mycoparasitism by Trichoderma spp. during antagonism against phytopathogenic fungi. A simple microplate-based method to assay β-1,3-glucanase activity is described here as an alternative to an expensive tube-assay method. The reaction volume of the micro-assay was reduced to 130 µl from the 1150 µl used in the standard β-1,3-glucanase macro-assay. Statistical analyses showed significant difference in sensitivity between the micro- and the macro-assay. The micro-method was optimized using the Response Surface Quadratic Model. The sensitivity of the optimized micro-method was shown to be four-fold greater than the macro-assay and two-fold higher than the micro-assay. The optimized micro-assay was significantly more sensitive in all of the twenty examined isolates during Trichoderma spp. β-1,3-glucanase screening. We conclude that this modified and optimized method is more convenient, faster, cheaper and more reproducible than the traditional tube-assay. 相似文献

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides derived from substituted isatins and 1,3-thiazolane-4-carboxylic acid to a series of 1-methyl-3,5-bis[(E)-arylmethylidene]-tetrahydro-4(1H)-pyridinones afforded novel spiro-pyrrolothiazoles chemo-, regio- and stereoselectively in quantitative yields. These compounds were screened for their in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB) and multi-drug resistant M. tuberculosis (MDR-TB) using agar dilution method. Among the synthesized compounds, spiro[5.3′′]-5′′-nitrooxindole-spiro-[6.3′]-1′-methyl-5′-(2,4-di-chlorophenylmethylidene)tetrahydro-4′(1H)-pyridinone-7-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)tetra-hydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c][1,3]thiazole (9k) was found to be the most active with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.6 μM against MTB and MDR-TB. 相似文献

We have developed a new safe and easy route for the synthesis of 1,3-dimethyl-1,2,3-triazolium derivatives. We have reported the synthesis of 4,9-dioxo-1,3-dimethylnaphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazol-3-ium chloride from methylation of 1-methyl-1H-naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole-4,9-dione. The synthesis of 1-methyl-1H-naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole-4,9-dione is inefficient as a significant amount of by-product is formed that is difficult to separate and also unsafe as it requires the use of hazardous methylazide as a starting material. It is, however, important to develop an improved method for the synthesis of 4,9-dioxo-1,3-dimethylnaphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazol-3-ium salt due to its significant anticancer activities. Herein, we report a safe and convenient route for the synthesis of this compound, which lead to more detailed exploration of its profound anticancer activities. The improved method can be applicable for the synthesis of other 1,3-dimethyl-1,2,3-triazolium salts of interest without the use of potentially explosive methylazide. The compound synthesized in this new method shows significant anticancer activities against melanoma, colon cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and central nervous system (CNS) cancer with GI50 values ranging from low μM to nM. 相似文献

A hydrolytic enzyme designated as a 1,3-β-d-glucanase having an antifungal activity was purified and characterized from Streptomyces torulosus PCPOK-0324. Fungal growth inhibitors in the culture filtrates from an antagonistic S. torulosus PCPOK-0324 exhibited higher antifungal activity against the hyphal growth of Phytophthora capsici and Rhizoctonia solani. The 1,3-β-d-glucanase was purified by four chromatographic steps from culture supernatant. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 31.5 kDa. The optimal pH and temperature were 7.5 and 50 °C. Both the purified enzyme and the antibiotic extract inhibited R. solani and P. capsici with minimal inhibitory concentration values of 12.50 and 6.25 mU ml−1 and 3.95 and 1.94 μg ml−1, respectively. Our findings collectively show that the 1,3-β-d-glucanase in combination with the antibiotic extract have strong synergistic antifungal activity against the hyphal growth of both fungi causing root rot disease in pepper plants. 相似文献

Trichoderma harzianum secretes α-1,3-glucanases when it is grown on polysaccharides, fungal cell walls, or autoclaved mycelium as a carbon source (simulated antagonistic conditions). We have purified and characterized one of these enzymes, named AGN13.1. The enzyme was monomeric and slightly basic. AGN13.1 was an exo-type α-1,3-glucanase and showed lytic and antifungal activity against fungal plant pathogens. Northern and Western analyses indicated that AGN13.1 is induced by conditions that simulated antagonism. We propose that AGN13.1 contributes to the antagonistic response of T. harzianum. 相似文献

In continuation of our efforts to develop new compounds with antimicrobial properties we describe design, synthesis, molecular docking study and evaluation of antimicrobial activity of seventeen novel 2-{[5-(adamantan-1-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-imino}-5-arylidene-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones. All compounds showed antibacterial activity against eight Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial species. Twelve out of seventeen compounds were more potent than streptomycin and all compounds exhibited higher potency than ampicillin. Compounds were also tested against three resistant bacterial strains: MRSA, P. aeruginosa and E. coli. The best antibacterial potential against ATCC and resistant strains was observed for compound 8 (2-{[5-(adamantan-1-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-imino}-5-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-1,3thiazolidin-4-one). The most sensitive bacterium appeared to be S. typhimirium, followed by B. cereus while L. monocitogenes and M. flavus were the most resistant. Compounds were also tested for their antifungal activity against eight fungal species. All compounds exhibited antifungal activity better than the reference drugs bifonazole and ketokonazole (3-115 times). It was found that compound 8 appeared again to be the most potent. Molecular docking studies on E. coli MurB, MurA as well as C. albicans CYP 51 and dihydrofolate reductase were used for the prediction of mechanism of antibacterial and antifungal activities confirming the experimental results. 相似文献

Six novel N-halamine compounds of potential importance as disinfectants to the food-processing industry were tested against Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella gallinarum, Salmonella typhimurium, and Pseudomonas fluorescens in aqueous solution. Inactivation times for 106-fold reductions were determined as a function of water quality at pH 6.5 and 25°C. Phenol coefficients for the efficacies of the compounds against S. enteritidis have been reported also. When both stability and efficacy data are considered, as well as cost of production, two compounds, 1,3-dichloro-2,2,5,5-tetramethylimidazolidin-4-one and 1-chloro-2,2,5,5-tetramethylimidazolidin-4-one, offer the greatest potential as biocides for the food-processing industry. 相似文献
