Abstract

BACKGROUND: To examine whether linezolid, a new oxazolidinone antibiotic, has an effect on human polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) function. METHODS: Flow-cytometric techniques for the demonstration of PMN chemotaxis towards zymosan-activated serum, and phagocytosis and respiratory burst after incubation in linezolid. RESULTS: Linezolid at concentrations of 10- 160 mg/l did not significantly influence PMN function as measured by chemotaxis, phagocytosis and respiratory burst. CONCLUSIONS: Linezolid at therapeutic or supratherapeutic concentrations does not influence human PMN function. This applies to the chemically pure substance as well as to the commercial preparation containing additives for intravenous infusion.

Development of orally bioavailable and CNS penetrant biphenylaminocyclopropane carboxamide bradykinin B1 receptor antagonists.

A series of biphenylaminocyclopropane carboxamide based bradykinin B1 receptor antagonists has been developed that possesses good pharmacokinetic properties and is CNS penetrant. Discovery that the replacement of the trifluoropropionamide in the lead structure with polyhaloacetamides, particularly a trifluoroacetamide, significantly reduced P-glycoprotein mediated efflux for the series proved essential. One of these novel bradykinin B1 antagonists (13b) also exhibited suitable pharmacokinetic properties and efficient ex vivo receptor occupancy for further development as a novel approach for the treatment of pain and inflammation.

Spontaneous enzymatically mediated dynamic kinetic resolution of 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline.

A spontaneous dynamic kinetic resolution of 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline 1 was observed in the presence of Candida antarctica Lipase B, in which a >60% yield of (R)-acetamide [(R)-2] was isolated from the racemic amine. The spontaneous formation of ketone 3, followed by a condensation/hydrolysis sequence with the remaining (S)-amine 1, via enamine 4, provides the necessary racemization pathway.

Total synthesis of bistramide A.

An asymmetric synthesis of the marine metabolite bistramide A is reported. The synthesis relies on the utility of three different organosilane reagents to construct all principle fragments and 8 of the 11 stereogenic centers of the natural product. [structure: see text].
