Controlling production of brominated cyclic depsipeptides by Pseudoalteromonas maricaloris KMM 636T [PDF]
This study aims at evaluating the impact of the nutrient medium components on the in vitro production of the cytotoxic alterochromides.The employment matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) facilitated the identification of a range of brominated cyclic depsipeptides with molecular masses of 843/845, 857/859 and 922/924 ...

Prva potpuna sinteza i biološko vrednovanje himenamida E [PDF]
A new potent bioactive, proline-rich cyclic heptapeptide hymenamide E (13) was synthesized using the solution phase technique by cyclization of the linear peptide Boc-Phe-Pro-Thr-Thr-Pro-Tyr-Phe-OMe (12) after proper deprotection at carboxyl and amino ...

Solonamide B Inhibits Quorum Sensing and Reduces Staphylococcus aureus Mediated Killing of Human Neutrophils [PDF]
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to be a serious human pathogen, and particularly the spread of community associated (CA)-MRSA strains such as USA300 is a concern, as these strains can cause severe infections in otherwise ...

Multi‐Targeting Non‐Specific Genome Engineering in Bacteria
In this study, we provide the first case to use the multi‐targeting integrase (MTI) systems in bacteria and develop a host‐independent generalizable approach, MNGE (Multi‐targeting Non‐specific Genome Engineering), for multi‐copy and random integration of metabolic genes or pathways in both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, which will ...

ABSTRACT Cyclic peptides occupy a structurally dynamic region of chemical space, where function often arises from ensembles rather than a single dominant fold. Closed backbones, frequent N‐methylation, heteroatoms, unnatural amino acids, and a strong propensity for metal coordination create dense conformational and coordination landscapes that ...

Synthesis of a Carbon‐Linked Acyldepsipeptide Derivative
The synthesis of a methylene‐linked acyldepsipeptide (ADEP) is reported. Success relied upon an improve method to generate a versatile vinyl glycine methyl ester synthon and a rationally optimized Grubb’s metathesis. NMR and in silico studies revealed an unusual trans–trans proline orientation for this new unnatural ADEP analog, advancing the ...

Characterizing the Anti-HIV Activity of Papuamide A
Papuamide A is representative of a class of marine derived cyclic depsipeptides, reported to have cytoprotective activity against HIV-1 in vitro. We show here that papuamide A acts as an entry inhibitor, preventing human immunodeficiency virus infection ...

Prebiotic Organic Chemistry of Diketopiperazines
Diketopiperazines (DKPs) are considered essential in many life forms, but their prebiotic importance has not been fully understood. This review aims to discuss prebiotic organic chemistry for experimentally and computationally simulated reactions involving DKPs. ABSTRACT Even though the significance of amino acids and polypeptides is well recognized in

Detection of inhibitors of Candida albicans Cdr transporters using a diS-C3(3) fluorescence [PDF]
Candida albicans is a major cause of opportunistic and life-threatening, systemic fungal infections. Hence new antifungal agents, as well as new methods to treat fungal infections, are still needed.
