The Staphylococcus aureus can switch to a transient genotype-invariant dormancy, known as a persister, to survive treatment with high doses of antibiotics. This transient persister is an important reason underlying its resistance. There is an urgent need to find new antibacterial agents capable of eradicating methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) persisters. In this study, 37 new derivatives of cajaninstilbene acid (CSA) were designed and synthesized, and their biological activity against MRSA persisters was evaluated. Most of the newly synthesized derivatives exhibit more potent antimicrobial properties against S. aureus and MRSA than CSA itself, and 23 of the 37 derivatives show a tendency to eradicate MRSA persisters. A representative compound (A6) was demonstrated to target bacterial cell membranes. It eradicated the adherent biofilm of MRSA in a concentration dependent manner, and showed a synergistic antibacterial effect with piperacilin. In a model mouse abscess caused by MRSA persisters, A6 effectively reduced the bacterial load in vivo. These results indicate that A6 is a potential candidate for treatment of MRSA persister infections.

The first asymmetric total syntheses of the real isolation product (2S,5R,8R)-greensporone F and (2S,5R,8R)-dechlorogreensporone F, 14-membered resorcylic acid lactones with a cis-2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran ring system, was accomplished. The synthesis features a late-stage Lewis acid-catalyzed stereoselective intramolecular oxa-Michael reaction, E-selective ring-closing metathesis, De Brabander's esterification, and Jacobsen's hydrolytic kinetic resolution as the key steps. Synthesis of both real isolation and erroneously proposed structure necessitated the revision of the absolute configuration of greensporone F and dechlorogreensporone F. The erroneous representation of (2S,5S,8S)-configuration in greensporone F and dechlorogreensporone F was assigned to be (2S,5R,8R) by comparison with the NMR data and specific rotation of the synthetic compounds with that of the reported data.

The first asymmetric total synthesis and stereochemical assignments of 10-membered macrolactones relgro and 10′-oxorelgro are disclosed. To this end, palladium-catalyzed Stille coupling, the Mitsunobu reaction, ring-closing metathesis, EDCI promoted coupling and the Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution are used as key steps. The total synthesis followed by thorough evaluation of the optical rotation and CD spectral data led to the revision of the absolute configuration at C-6′ for both relgro and 10′-oxorelgro. Moreover, the 1H as well as 13C NMR data are reported for the first time for relgro.
