The chromophore of the photoactive yellow protein (PYP), the photoreceptor in the photomotility of the bacterium Halorhodospira halophila, is a deprotonated para-coumaric thioester linked to the side residue of a cysteine residue. The photophysics of the

We have studied the photochromic reaction of p-hydroxycinnamic-thiophenyl ester in the microcrystalline state. We attributed the fluorescence spectral evolution of the mierocrystal, under UV irradiation, to the photoinduced trans-to-cis isomerization, The photocyclic behavior of the chromophore was demonstrated by cis-to-trans back reaction under a subsequent visible light irradiation. In addition, the [2 + 2] topochemical photocyclodimer was observed as another photoproduct. It is considered that the cooperative photoisomerization is initiated at the local lattice distortion and free spaces around the [2 + 2] cyclodimer near the crystal surface, and the photoisomerization induces larger lattice deformation and further photoisomerization in the interior of the crystal.

In an effort to develop potent new antituberculous drugs effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we have prepared series of cinnamic derivatives (thioesters and amides) with 4-hydroxy and 4-alkoxy groups and investigated the in vitro activities of these compounds. Among them some displayed a good in vitro antibacterial activity, such as (E)-N-(2-acetamidoethyl)-3-{4-[(E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienyloxy]phenyl}acrylamide 4b that showed a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.1 μg/mL (0.26 μM) against M. tuberculosis H37Rv.
