Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a major threat on public health because of the increase of clinically isolated strains that exhibit resistance to many antibiotics. Therefore, development of new antibiotics for the treatment of MRSA infection is a sustained challenge. We have previously identified a ring-opened bengamide analogue L472-2 that displays moderate activity against the growth of S. aureus. In our previous work, we started from L472-2 and identified a class of analogues containing alkynyl groups which have the potential to activate SaClpP activity but moderate antibacterial activity. Herein, we focused on the antibacterial activity of L472-2, and a novel series of ring-opened bengamide analogues were synthesized and their activities were evaluated against MRSA. By conducting a compact analysis of the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of these analogues, we found that an adamantane ethanol ester bengamide 2j showed excellent antibacterial activity towards six S. aureus strains, including MRSA, while it does not activate ClpP. Therefore, these bengamide analogues represent a new class of candidates that suppress MRSA viability.

The synthesis of new glycopeptides in which the peptidic moiety is linked to the glucidic part through a keto α,β-ethylenic handle is described.Two routes have been studied.The first strategy devised uses Horner reagents derived from N-substituted (diethy

Dipeptides, their methyl esters, diketopiperazines (DKP), and N-substituted derivatives were racemized at high temperatures (approximately 120 deg C) in aqueous phosphate buffered solutions at pH values close to pH of maximum racemization (approximately 8).The racemization of the dipeptides Ala-Gly and Gly-Ala followed reversible first-order kinetics.The initial rate of racemization of DKP was very fast but soon slowed down, supposedly due to hydrolysis.The resulting rate was similar to that of the dipeptides.Esters of dipeptides followed racemization patterns similar to DKP.The racemization rate constants of the dipeptides studied were shown to be independent of the concentration of the dipeptide and the concentration of buffer.A carboxy-terminal proline residue greatly increased the rate of racemization (epimerization) of the amino-terminal residue.Increasing the basicity of the N-terminal amino acid residue increased the rate of racemization (or epimerization) of the C-terminal residue unless the C-terminal was sterically hindered as the Ile and Val.Decreasing the basicity of the N-terminal amino acid residue decreased racemization or epimerization for nonhindered C-terminal amino acids.These results support the influence of neighboring groups in the racemization or epimerization of dipeptides.DKP formation is a competing reaction allowing racemization or epimerization in dipeptides.Dipeptide racemization or epimerization is proposed to be the result of combination of intramolecular base assistance and DKP formation.
