Potent in vitro methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus activity of 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)quinoline derivatives.

A novel structural class of antibacterials, 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)quinolines, effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), was discovered from a combinatorial library. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study was conducted to determine the pharmacophore and increase the potency of these compounds. Compounds were prepared that had minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) < 1.0 microg/mL against MRSA and retained activity against two strains of glycopeptide intermediate-resistant S. aureus (GISA).

Design and synthesis of novel FKBP inhibitors.

Small molecule FKBP inhibitors were prepared with inhibitory activity ranging from micromolar to nanomolar. The design of these inhibitors derives from a structural analysis of the substrates for FKBP and cyclophilin. As a consequence of this analysis two key observations were made, namely: (1) amino ketone moieties are suitable as FKBP recognition elements at the P1-P1' site and (2) the P3'-P4' site will accept a trans-olefin as a suitable mimetic of a peptide moiety. The preparation of these non-peptide inhibitors is readily accomplished by a protocol which includes the synthesis of chiral propargylic amines and their subsequent conversion into vinyl zirconium reagents.

Ring opening cross-metathesis on solid support: a combinatorial library synthesis of highly functionalized cyclopentanes.

Ruthenium catalyzed ring opening cross-metathesis of resin-bound bicyclic alkenes with terminal aryl olefins was utilized for the construction of a combinatorial library containing highly functionalized cyclopentane derivatives. The technology described herein represents a convergent method for the diastereospecific synthesis of unique cyclopentane molecular scaffolds useful for exploratory medicinal chemistry.
