Abstract
Herein, we report a rapid and scalable continuous-flow photocatalytic approach for the carbamoylation of nitrones. This protocol makes use of readily available 4-amido-1,4 dihydropyridines as carbamoyl radical precursors. The scope of this transformation exhibits high compatibility with complex structures containing amino acids, peptides, and glycosides. Importantly, the developed method allows a photocatalytic synthetic strategy in combination with flow conditions, maximizing the potential and efficiency for the synthesis of valuable α-(N-hydroxy)amino amides.

Abstract
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARSs) have been considered very attractive drug-targets for decades. This interest probably emerged with the identification of differences in AARSs between prokaryotic and eukaryotic species, which provided a rationale for the development of antimicrobials targeting bacterial AARSs with minimal effect on the homologous human AARSs. Today we know that AARSs are not only attractive, but also valid drug targets as they are housekeeping proteins that: (i) play a fundamental role in protein translation by charging the corresponding amino acid to its cognate tRNA and preventing mistranslation mistakes [1], a critical process during fast growing conditions of microbes; and (ii) present significant differences between microbes and humans that can be used for drug development [2]. Together with the vast amount of available data on both pathogenic and mammalian AARSs, it is expected that, in the future, the numerous reported inhibitors of AARSs will provide the basis to develop new therapeutics for the treatment of human diseases. In this chapter, a detailed summary on the state-of-the-art in drug discovery and drug development for each aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase will be presented.

Abstract
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are essential and many aaRS inhibitors kill parasites. We examine compound inhibitors tested experimentally against parasite aaRSs. Successful inhibitors were discovered by both phenotype and target-based approaches. Selectivity and resistance are ongoing challenges for development of parasite drugs.
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are central enzymes in protein translation, providing the charged tRNAs needed for appropriate construction of peptide chains. These enzymes have long been pursued as drug targets in bacteria and fungi, but the past decade has seen considerable research on aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases in eukaryotic parasites. Existing inhibitors of bacterial tRNA synthetases have been adapted for parasite use, novel inhibitors have been developed against parasite enzymes, and tRNA synthetases have been identified as the targets for compounds in use or development as antiparasitic drugs. Crystal structures have now been solved for many parasite tRNA synthetases, and opportunities for selective inhibition are becoming apparent. For different biological reasons, tRNA synthetases appear to be promising drug targets against parasites as diverse as Plasmodium (causative agent of malaria), Brugia (causative agent of lymphatic filariasis), and Trypanosoma (causative agents of Chagas disease and human African trypanosomiasis). Here we review recent developments in drug discovery and target characterisation for parasite aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.

Abstract
The modern era of antibacterial chemotherapy began in the 1930s, and the next four decades saw the discovery of almost all the major classes of antibacterial agents that are currently in use. However, bacterial resistance to many of these drugs is becoming an increasing problem. As such, the discovery of drugs with novel modes of action will be vital to meet the threats created by the emergence of resistance. Success in discovering inhibitors using high-throughput screening of chemical libraries is rare. In this Review we explore the exciting opportunities for antibacterial-drug discovery arising from structure-based drug design.

Abstract
The emergence of resistance to existing antibiotics demands the development of novel antimicrobial agents directed against novel targets. Historically, bacterial cell wall synthesis, protein, and DNA and RNA synthesis have been major targets of very successful classes of antibiotics such as beta-lactams, glycopeptides, macrolides, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, rifampicins and quinolones. Recently, efforts have been made to develop novel agents against validated targets in these pathways but also against new, previously unexploited targets. The era of genomics has provided insights into novel targets in microbial pathogens. Among the less exploited--but still promising--targets is the family of 20 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs), which are essential for protein synthesis. These targets have been validated in nature as aaRS inhibition has been shown as the specific mode of action for many natural antimicrobial agents synthesized by bacteria and fungi. Therefore, aaRSs have the potential to be targeted by novel agents either from synthetic or natural sources to yield specific and selective anti-infectives. Numerous high-throughput screening programs aimed at identifying aaRS inhibitors have been performed over the last 20 years. A large number of promising lead compounds have been identified but only a few agents have moved forward into clinical development. This review provides an update on the present strategies to develop novel aaRS inhibitors as anti-infective drugs.

Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of pathogenic microorganisms and the slow progress in new antibiotic development has led in recent years to a resurgence of infectious diseases that threaten the well-being of humans. The result of many microorganisms becoming immune to major antibiotics means that fighting off infection by these pathogens is more difficult. The best strategy to get around drug resistance is to discover new drug targets, taking advantage of the abundant information that was recently obtained from genomic and proteomic research, and explore them for drug development. In this regard, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) provide a promising platform to develop novel antibiotics that show no cross-resistance to other classical antibiotics. During the last few years there has been a comprehensive attempt to find the compounds that can specifically target ARSs and inhibit bacterial growth. In this review, the current status in the development of ARS inhibitors will be briefly summarized, based on their chemical structures and working mechanisms.

Abstract
Although the active site residues in the Bacillus stearothermophilus and human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetases are largely conserved, several differences exist between the two enzymes. In particular, three amino acids that stabilize the transition state for the activation of tyrosine in B. stearothermophilus tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (Cys-35, His-48, and Lys-233) are not present in the human enzyme. This raises the question of whether the activation energy for the tyrosine activation step is higher for the human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase than for the B. stearothermophilus enzyme. In this paper, we demonstrate that intrinsic fluorescence changes can be used to monitor the pre-steady state kinetics of human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase. In contrast to the B. stearothermophilus enzyme, catalysis of the tyrosine activation step is potassium-dependent in the human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase. Specifically, potassium increases the forward rate constant for tyrosine activation 260-fold in the human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase. Comparison of the forward rate constants for catalysis of tyrosine activation by the human and B. stearothermophilus enzymes indicates that despite differences in their active sites and the potassium requirement of the human enzyme, the activation energies for tyrosine activation are identical for the two enzymes. The results of these investigations suggest that differences exist between the active sites of the bacterial and human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetases that could be exploited to design antimicrobials that target the bacterial enzyme.

Abstract
SB-219383 and its analogues are a class of potent and specific inhibitors of bacterial tyrosyl-tRNA synthetases. Crystal structures of these inhibitors have been solved in complex with the tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase from Staphylococcus aureus, the bacterium that is largely responsible for hospital-acquired infections. The full-length enzyme yielded crystals that diffracted to 2.8 A resolution, but a truncated version of the enzyme allowed the resolution to be extended to 2.2 A. These inhibitors not only occupy the known substrate binding sites in unique ways, but also reveal a butyl binding pocket. It was reported that the Bacillus stearothermophilus TyrRS T51P mutant has much increased catalytic activity. The S. aureus enzyme happens to have a proline at position 51. Therefore, our structures may contribute to the understanding of the catalytic mechanism and provide the structural basis for designing novel antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Novel pyranosyl analogues of SB-219383 have been synthesised to elucidate the structure-activity relationships around the pyran ring. Analogues with highly potent stereoselective and bacterioselective inhibition of bacterial tyrosyl tRNA synthetase have been identified. A major reduction in the overall polarity of the molecule can be tolerated without loss of the nanomolar level of inhibition.
