The search for antibacterial agents for the combat of nosocomial infections is a timely problem, as antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to thrive. The effect of indoline substituents on the antibacterial properties of aminoalkylphenols was studied, leading to the development of a library of compounds with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) as low as 1.18 μM. Two novel aminoalkylphenols were identified as particularly promising, after MIC and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) determination against a panel of reference strain Gram-positive bacteria, and further confirmed against 40 clinical isolates (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, and Listeria monocytogenes). The same two aminoalkylphenols displayed low toxicity against two in vivo models (Artemia salina brine shrimp and Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation (on human keratinocytes and human embryonic lung fibroblast cell lines) of the same compounds was also carried out. They demonstrated a particularly toxic effect on the fibroblast cell lines, with IC50 in the 1.7–5.1 μM range, thus narrowing their clinical use. The desired increase in the antibacterial properties of the aminoalkylphenols, particularly indoline-derived phenolic Mannich bases, was reached by introducing an additional nitro group in the indolinyl substituent or by the replacement of a methyl by a bioisosteric trifluoromethyl substituent in the benzyl group introduced through use of boronic acids in the Petasis borono-Mannich reaction. Notably, the introduction of an additional nitro moiety did not confer added toxicity to the aminoalkylphenols.

The dual-active-sites Co@C catalyst provides a general powerful strategy to break the limitation of scaling relation on traditional metal surfaces and thus affords unprecedentedly selective hydrogenation of various N-heteroarenes as well as high activity and stability. A porous carbon shell not only allows H2 diffusion to Co sites for activation but also blocks accessibility of N-heteroarenes, and the hydrogenation of N-heteroarenes is achieved on carbon by the spilled hydrogen from Co sites. In addition, the presence of surface/subsurface carbon at the Co sites shows high anti-sulfur poisoning and anti-oxidant capability. Ideal heterogeneous metal hydrogenation catalysts are featured by simultaneously high activity, selectivity, and stability. Herein, we report a general yet powerful strategy to design and fabricate dual-active-sites Co@C core-shell nanoparticle for boosting selective hydrogenation of various N-heteroarenes. It can break the limitation of scaling relation on traditional metal surfaces, and thus afford unprecedentedly high selectivity, activity, and stability. Combining kinetics analysis and DFT calculations with multiple techniques directly unveil that the critical porous carbon shell with a pore size of 0.53 nm not only allows H2 diffusion to Co sites for activation and blocks accessibility of N-heteroarenes but also catalyzes hydrogenation of N-heteroarenes via hydrogen spillover from Co sites. In addition, the presence of surface/subsurface carbon at the Co sites shows high anti-sulfur poisoning and anti-oxidant capability. This work is valuable for guiding the design and manipulation of cost-effective and robust hydrogenation catalysts. Our research can provide an environmentally friendly approach to afford unprecedentedly selective N-heteroarenes hydrogenation, which will greatly reduce the resource and energy consumption and decrease the amount of waste discharge and water pollution. Therefore, these results could help in achieving the “Clean water and sanitation” goal in the 10 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Meanwhile, the products of N-heteroarenes hydrogenation are the core structural motifs in both fine and bulk chemicals, which will make our life more beautiful. Thus, our research also benefits the “Good health and well-being” goal.
