A series of neutral Yb3+ and Gd3+ complexes with isomeric 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(naphthalenyl)butane-1,3-diones and 1,10-phenanthroline as an ancillary ligand were synthesized and characterized by a full range of analytical methods, including elemental analysis, FTIR and NMR spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray analysis, cyclic voltammetry (CVA) and thermal analysis (TG/DTA). Moreover, the unexpected formation of a mixed diketonate-carboxylate Yb3+ complex [Yb(2-Naph)2(CF3COO)(phen)(H2O)] from [Yb(2-Naph)3(phen)] in solution was observed. The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) for complex [Yb(2-Naph)3(phen)] in the near infra-red region (one band with a peak at 980 nm) was about 3,2%. This value is close to the highest one reported for 1,3-diketonate complexes of Yb3+ ion to date. The energy transfer process is discussed in details, based on the results of TD-DFT calculations and experimental photophysical measurements. These complexes were successfully used as emitters in multilayer OLEDs. The electroluminescence quantum efficiency corresponding to the sole band at 980 nm reached 0.042% with a maximum irradiance of 11 μW/cm2 at 8.5 V for [Yb(2-Naph)3(phen)] based device, which is unusually high for such type of emitters.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) poses a serious threat to public health because of its resistance to multiple antibiotics most commonly used to treat infection. In this study, we report the unique ability of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib to kill Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA with modest potency. We hypothesize that the anti-Staphylococcus activity of celecoxib could be pharmacologically exploited to develop novel anti-MRSA agents with a distinct mechanism. Examination of an in-house, celecoxib-based focused compound library in conjunction with structural modifications led to the identification of compound 46 as the lead agent with high antibacterial potency against a panel of Staphylococcus pathogens and different strains of MRSA. Moreover, this killing effect is bacteria-specific, as human cancer cells are resistant to 46. In addition, a single intraperitoneal administration of compound 46 at 30 mg/kg improved the survival of MRSA-infected C57BL/6 mice. In light of its high potency in eradicating MRSA in vitro and its in vivo activity, compound 46 and its analogues warrant continued preclinical development as a potential therapeutic intervention against MRSA.
