Synthesis of bicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes, meta-substituted arene isosteres, from [3.1.1]propellane
The use of saturated small-ring bridged hydrocarbons as bioisosteres for aromatic rings has become a popular tactic in drug discovery. Perhaps the …
Discovery of a fluorinated macrobicyclic antibiotic through chemical synthesis
The emergence of bacterial antimicrobial resistance threatens to undermine the utility of antibiotic therapy in medicine. This threat can be addres…
Sinulariapeptide F, a new peptide from culture broth of marine-derived fungus Simplicillium sp. SCSIO 41222
One new compound named sinulariapeptide F (1) together with one known butyrolactone (2) and seven known peptides (3–9…
Antimicrobial activity of α/β hybrid peptides incorporating tBu-β3,3Ac6c against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
The incorporation of β-amino acids into peptides is a promising approach to develop proteolytically stable therapeutic agents. Short α/β hybrid …
KRN7000 analogues as biofilm disrupting agents against Streptococcus pyogenes and Proteus mirabilis
In this study, three KRN7000 analogues with variations in the sugar and glycosidic linkage were synthesised to assess their efficacy in disrupting …
Epiconone, one novel cyclohexenone from endophytic fungi Epicoccum sp. 1-042
Targeting drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, two fungal strains, Epicoccum sp. 1-042 and Penicillium sp. 19-115, were ide…
Molecular optimization using a conditional transformer for reaction-aware compound exploration with reinforcement learning
Designing molecules with desirable properties is a critical endeavor in drug discovery. Because of recent advances in deep learning, molecular gene…
