  • Patent number: 11780809
    Abstract: The N-(6-substitutedcarbazol-2-yl) acetamide compounds are antibacterial agents. The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria calls for constant development of new antibacterial agents with the aim of generating medicaments that are potent against drug sensitive and resistant bacteria and are well tolerated. The present compounds are not only new, but have very valuable antimicrobial properties. These compounds showed a broad spectrum of activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well tuberculosis mycobacteria. They also showed potent activity against drug-resistant bacteria, such as MRSA and VRSA. The molecular target of these compounds was identified as DNA Gyrase B. Based on their pharmacological profiles, the present compounds may find important clinical applications for severe infectious diseases and tuberculosis.

  • Patent number: 11773111
    Abstract: Novel dual 5-LO inhibitors of well validated electrophilic Michael acceptors and nitrogen-heterocycles are presented and designed to maintain specific structural features of currently known dual 5-LO inhibitors and to overcome their drawbacks. The Michael acceptor scaffold will act as a carrier and will provide a stable anchorage via covalent binding to cysteine/histidine residues within the catalytic cleft and/or the surface interface of the 5-LO; whereas, the nitrogen-heterocycles will ensure the access to the Fe(II) catalytic center. These combinations offer potential for more than one mode of iron chelation and 5-LO inhibition.

  • Patent number: 11708363
    Abstract: Disclosed herein relates to organic synthesis, and more particularly to a method for preparing a key intermediate for the synthesis of statins. The key intermediate is 2-[(4R,6S)-6-[(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylthio)methyl]-2,2-disubstituted-1,3-dioxan-4-yl] acetate of formula (I): where R1 is a C1-C8 alkyl group, a C3-C8 cycloalkyl group, a monosubstituted or polysubstituted aryl group, or monosubstituted or polysubstituted aralkyl group; R2 is hydrogen, or monosubstituted or polysubstituted C1-C3 alkyl group, or halogen; and R3 and R4 are each independently a C1-C5 alkyl group, a C3-C7 cycloalkyl group, a C3-C7 cycloalkenyl group, a C1-C3 alkoxy group, a C6-C10 aryl group, or C7-C12 aralkyl group. In the method, a halomethyl compound and a thiol reagent are subjected to nucleophilic substitution in an organic solvent to synthesize a thioether, which then undergoes ketal exchange reaction with a carbonyl compound (V) in the presence of an organic acid to obtain a target product.
