Abstract
In the presence of an arylboronic acid catalyst, azole-type heterocycles, including purines, tetrazoles, triazoles, indazoles, and benzo-fused congeners, undergo regio- and stereoselective N-glycosylations with furanosyl and pyranosyl trichloroacetimidate donors. The protocol, which does not require stoichiometric activators, specialized leaving groups, or drying agents, provides access to nucleoside analogues and enables late-stage N-glycosylation of azole-containing pharmaceutical agents. A mechanism involving simultaneous activation of the glycosyl donor and acceptor by the organoboron catalyst has been proposed, supported by kinetic analysis and computational modeling.

Synthesis and Antiproliferative Evaluation of d-Glucuronamide-Based Nucleosides and (Triazolyl)methyl Amide-Linked Pseudodisaccharide Nucleosides. ChemMedChem 2024; 19:e202300608.

Abstract
The synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of novel d-glucopyranuronamide-containing nucleosides is described. Based on our previously reported anticancer d-glucuronamide-based nucleosides, new analogues comprising N/O-dodecyl or N-propargyl substituents at the glucuronamide unit and anomerically-N-linked 2-acetamido-6-chloropurine, 6-chloropurine or 4-(6-chloropurinyl)methyl triazole motifs were synthesized in 4-6 steps starting from acetonide-protected glucofuranurono-6,3-lactone. The methodologies were based on the access to N-substituted glycopyranuronamide precursors, namely 1,2-O-acetyl derivatives or glucuronoamidyl azides for further nucleobase N-glycosylation or 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with N9 - and N7 -propargyl-6-chloropurines, respectively. N-Propargyl glucuronamide-based N9 -purine nucleosides were converted into (triazolyl)methyl amide-6,6-linked pseudodisaccharide nucleosides via cycloaddition with methyl 6-azido-glucopyranoside. A CuI/Amberlyst A-21 catalytic system employed in the cycloaddition reactions also effected conversion into 6-dimethylaminopurine nucleosides. Antiproliferative evaluation in chronic myeloid leukemia (K562) and breast cancer (MCF-7) cells revealed significant effects exhibited by the synthesized monododecylated purine-containing nucleosides. A N-propargyl 3-O-dodecyl glucuronamide derivative comprising a N9 -β-linked 6-chloropurine moiety was the most active compound against MCF-7 cells (GI50 =11.9 μM) while a related α-(purinyl)methyltriazole nucleoside comprising a N7 -linked 6-chloropurine moiety exhibited the highest activity against K562 cells (GI50 =8.0 μM). Flow cytometry and immunoblotting analysis of apoptosis-related proteins in K562 cells treated with the N-propargyl 3-O-dodecyl glucuronamide-based N9 -linked 6-chloropurine nucleoside indicated that it acts via apoptosis induction.

Abstract
Covering: 2019 to 2023Nucleoside analogues represent one of the most important classes of small molecule pharmaceuticals and their therapeutic development is successfully established within oncology and for the treatment of viral infections. However, there are currently no nucleoside analogues in clinical use for the management of bacterial infections. Despite this, a significant number of clinically recognised nucleoside analogues are known to possess some antibiotic activity, thereby establishing a potential source for new therapeutic discovery in this area. Furthermore, given the rise in antibiotic resistance, the discovery of new clinical candidates remains an urgent global priority and natural product-derived nucleoside analogues may also present a rich source of discovery space for new modalities. This Highlight, covering work published from 2019 to 2023, presents a current perspective surrounding the synthesis of natural purine nucleoside antibiotics. By amalgamating recent efforts from synthetic chemistry with advances in biosynthetic understanding and the use of recombinant enzymes, prospects towards different structural classes of purines are detailed.

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant strains of pathogenic microorganisms necessitates the creation of new drugs. A series of uridine derivatives containing an extended substituent at the C-5 position as well as C-5 alkyloxymethyl, alkylthiomethyl, alkyltriazolylmethyl, alkylsulfinylmethyl and alkylsulfonylmethyl uridines were obtained in order to explore their antimicrobial properties and solubility. It has been shown that new ribonucleoside derivatives have an order of magnitude better solubility in water compared to their 2'-deoxy analogues and effectively inhibit the growth of a number of Gram-positive bacteria, including resistant strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis (MIC=15-200 μg/mL) and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC=25-100 μg/mL). Their activity is comparable to that of some antibiotics used in medicine.

Abstract
Nucleoside analogs play a crucial role in the production of high-value antitumor and antimicrobial drugs. Currently, nucleoside analogs are mainly obtained through nucleic acid degradation, chemical synthesis, and biotransformation. However, these methods face several challenges, such as low concentration of the main product, the presence of complex matrices, and the generation of numerous by-products that significantly limit the development of new drugs and their pharmacological studies. Therefore, this work aims to summarize the universal separation methods of nucleoside analogs, including crystallization, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), column chromatography, solvent extraction, and adsorption. The review also explores the application of molecular imprinting techniques (MITs) in enhancing the identification of the separation process. It compares existing studies reported on adsorbents of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for the separation of nucleoside analogs. The development of new methods for selective separation and purification of nucleosides is vital to improving the efficiency and quality of nucleoside production. It enables us to obtain nucleoside products that are essential for the development of antitumor and antiviral drugs. Additionally, these methods possess immense potential in the prevention and control of serious diseases, offering significant economic, social, and scientific benefits to the fields of environment, biomedical research, and clinical therapeutics.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for tuberculosis, is a global health concern, affecting millions worldwide. This bacterium has earned a reputation as a formidable adversary due to its multidrug-resistant nature, allowing it to withstand many antibiotics. The development of this drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is attributed to innate and acquired mechanisms. In the past, rifampin was considered a potent medication for treating tuberculosis infections. However, the rapid development of resistance to this drug by the bacterium underscores the pressing need for new therapeutic agents. Fortunately, several other medications previously overlooked for tuberculosis treatment are already available in the market. Moreover, several innovative drugs are under clinical investigation, offering hope for more effective treatments. To enhance the effectiveness of these drugs, it is recommended that researchers concentrate on identifying unique target sites within the bacterium during the drug development process. This strategy could potentially circumvent the issues presented by Mycobacterium drug resistance. This review primarily focuses on the characteristics of novel drug resistance mechanisms in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It also discusses potential medications being repositioned or sourced from novel origins. The ultimate objective of this review is to discover efficacious treatments for tuberculosis that can successfully tackle the hurdles posed by Mycobacterium drug resistance.

Abstract
The plethora of viral outbreaks experienced in the last decade, together with the widespread distribution of many re-emerging and newly emerging viruses, emphasize the urgent need for novel broad-spectrum antivirals as tools for early intervention in case of future epidemics. Non-natural nucleosides have been at the forefront for the treatment of infectious diseases for many years and still represent one of the most successful classes of antiviral molecules on the market. In the attempt to explore the biologically relevant chemical space of this class of antimicrobials, we describe herein the development of novel base-modified nucleosides by converting previously identified 2,6-diaminopurine antivirals into the corresponding D/L ribonucleosides, acyclic nucleosides and prodrug derivatives. A phenotypic screening against viruses belonging to different families (Flaviviridae, Coronaviridae, Retroviridae) and against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, allowed to identify a few interesting molecules with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities.

Abstract
Antiviral drugs are used globally as treatment and prophylaxis for long-term and acute viral infections. Even though antivirals also have been shown to have off-target effects on bacterial growth, the potential contributions of antivirals to antimicrobial resistance remains unknown. Herein we explored the ability of different classes of antiviral drugs to induce antimicrobial resistance. Our results establish the previously unrecognized capacity of antivirals to broadly alter the phenotypic antimicrobial resistance profiles of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus. Bacteria exposed to antivirals including zidovudine, dolutegravir and raltegravir developed cross-resistance to commonly used antibiotics including trimethoprim, tetracycline, clarithromycin, erythromycin, and amoxicillin. Whole genome sequencing of antiviral-resistant E. coli isolates revealed numerous unique single base pair mutations, as well as multi-base pair insertions and deletions, in genes with known and suspected roles in antimicrobial resistance including those coding for multidrug efflux pumps, carbohydrate transport, and cellular metabolism. The observed phenotypic changes coupled with genotypic results indicate that bacteria exposed to antiviral drugs with antibacterial properties in vitro can develop multiple resistance mutations that confer cross-resistance to antibiotics. Our findings underscore the potential contribution of wide scale usage of antiviral drugs to the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance in humans and the environment.

Abstract
In alternate organic synthesis, biocatalysis using enzymes provides a more stereoselective and cost-effective approach. Synthesis of unnatural nucleosides by nucleoside base exchange reactions using nucleoside-metabolizing enzymes has previously shown that the 5-position recognition of pyrimidine bases on nucleoside substrates is loose and can be used to introduce functional molecules into pyrimidine nucleosides. Here we explored the incorporation of purine pseudo bases into nucleosides by the base exchange reaction of pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (PyNP), demonstrating that an imidazole five-membered ring is an essential structure for the reaction. In the case of benzimidazole, the base exchange proceeded to give the deoxyribose form in 96 % yield, and the ribose form in 23 % yield. The reaction also proceeded with 1H-imidazo[4,5-b]phenazine, a benzimidazole analogue with an additional ring, although the yield of nucleoside was only 31 %. Docking simulations between 1H and imidazo[4,5-b]phenazine nucleoside and the active site of PyNP (PDB 1BRW) supported our observation that 1H-imidazo[4,5-b]phenazine can be used as a substrate by PyNP. Thus, the enzymatic substitution reaction using PyNP can be used to incorporate many purine pseudo bases and benzimidazole derivatives with various functional groups into nucleoside structures, which have potential utility as diagnostic or therapeutic agents.

Abstract
High value-added products recovery from algal-bacterial granular sludge (ABGS) has received great attention recently. This study aimed to explore the role of different light wavelengths in regulating granule formation, protein and lipid production, and microbial functions. Bacterial granular sludge (BGS, R0) was most conducive to forming ABGS under blue (R2) light with the highest chlorophyll a (10.2 mg/g-VSS) and diameter (1800 μm), followed by red (R1) and white (R3) lights. R0-R3 acquired high protein contents (>164.8 mg/g-VSS) with essential amino acids above 44.4%, all of which were suitable for recycling, but R2 was the best. Also, blue light significantly increased total lipid production, while red light promoted the accumulation of some unsaturated fatty acids (C18:2 and C18:3). Some unique algae and dominant bacteria (e.g., Stigeoclonium, Chlamydomonas, and Flavobacteria) enrichment and some key functions (e.g., amino acid, fatty acid, and lipid biosynthesis) up-regulation in R2 might help to improve proteins and lipids quality. Combined, this study provides valuable guidance for protein and lipid recovery from ABGS.

Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2023; 356:e2200633. [PMID: 36634969 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202200633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
With the intent to discover new antituberculosis (TB) compounds, coumarin-thymidine analogs were synthesized using second-order nucleophilic substitution reactions of bromomethyl coumarin with thymidine. The newly synthesized coumarin-thymidine conjugates (1a-l) were characterized using IR, NMR, GC-MS, and CHN elemental analysis. The novel conjugates were found to exhibit potent anti-TB activity against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37 Rv strain, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the active compounds ranging between 0.012 and 0.482 µM. Compound 1k was established as the most active candidate with a MIC of 0.012 µM. The toxicity study on HEK cells confirmed the nontoxic nature of compounds 1e, 1h, 1i, 1j, and 1k. Also, the most active compounds (1k, 1j, and 1e) were stable in the pH range from 2.5 to 10, indicating compatibility with the biophysical environment. Based on the pKa studies, compounds 1k, 1j, and 1e are capable of crossing lipid-membrane barriers and acting on target cells. Molecular docking studies on the M. tuberculosis β-oxidation trifunctional enzyme (PDB ID: 7O4V) were conducted to investigate the mechanisms of anti-TB activity. All compounds showed excellent hydrogen binding interactions and exceptional docking scores against M. tuberculosis, which was in accordance with the results. Compounds 1a-l possessed excellent affinity to proteins, with binding energies ranging from -7.4 to -8.7 kcal/mol.

Abstract
Introduction Root-associated microorganisms promote plant growth and provide protection from stresses. Halophytes are the fundamental components maintaining ecosystem functions of coastal salt marshes; however, it is not clear how their microbiome are structured across large spatial scales. Here, we investigated the rhizosphere bacterial communities of typical coastal halophyte species (Phragmites australis and Suaeda salsa) in temperate and subtropical salt marshes across 1,100 km in eastern China. Methods The sampling sites were located from 30.33 to 40.90°N and 119.24 to 121.79°E across east China. A total of 36 plots were investigated in the Liaohe River Estuary, the Yellow River Estuary, Yancheng, and Hangzhou Bay in August 2020. We collected shoot, root, and rhizosphere soil samples. the number of pakchoi leaves, total fresh and dry weight of the seedlings was counted. The soil properties, plant functional traits, the genome sequencing, and metabolomics assay were detected. Results The results showed that soil nutrients (total organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, total nitrogen, soluble sugars, and organic acids) are high in the temperate marsh, while root exudates (measured by metabolite expressions) are significantly higher in the subtropical marsh. We observed higher bacterial alpha diversity, more complex network structure, and more negative connections in the temperate salt marsh, which suggested intense competition among bacterial groups. Variation partitioning analysis showed that climatic, edaphic, and root exudates had the greatest effects on the bacteria in the salt marsh, especially for abundant and moderate subcommunities. Random forest modeling further confirmed this but showed that plant species had a limited effect. Conclutions Taken together, the results of this study revealed soil properties (chemical properties) and root exudates (metabolites) had the greatest influence on the bacterial community of salt marsh, especially for abundant and moderate taxa. Our results provided novel insights into the biogeography of halophyte microbiome in coastal wetlands and can be beneficial for policymakers in decision-making on the management of coastal wetlands.

Abstract
The biosynthetic enzyme, ForT, catalyses the formation of a C-C bond between 4-amino-1H-pyrazoledicarboxylic acid and MgPRPP to produce a C-nucleoside precursor of formycin A. The transformation catalysed by ForT is of chemical interest because it is one of only a few examples in which C-C bond formation takes place via an electrophilic substitution of a small, aromatic heterocycle. In addition, ForT is capable of discriminating between the aminopyrazoledicarboxylic acid and an analogue in which the amine is replaced by a hydroxyl group; a remarkable feat given the steric and electronic similarities of the two molecules. Here we report biophysical measurements, structural biology and quantum chemical calculations that provide a detailed molecular picture of ForT-catalysed C-C bond formation and the conformational changes that are coupled to catalysis. Our findings set the scene for employing engineered ForT variants in the biocatalytic production of novel, anti-viral C-nucleoside and C-nucleotide analogues.

Abstract
Nucleoside analogues are widely used as anticancer and antiviral drugs. Here, we develop a highly efficient gold(I)-catalyzed N-glycosylation approach for versatile synthesis of various types of nucleosides and deoxynucleosides with glycosyl (Z)-ynenoates as donors. The wide scope of the N-glycosylation approach was demonstrated by the synthesis of 31 pyrimidine nucleosides and 8 purine nucleosides. Remarkably, the gold(I)-catalyzed N-glycosylation of pyranosyl (Z)-ynenoates with purines was found to be very effective for regioselective synthesis of pyranosyl N9 purine nucleosides. Based on the catalytic N-glycosylation approach, convenient synthesis of two 5'-deoxynucleosides drugs (capecitabine and galocitabine), four 2'-deoxynucleoside drugs (floxuridine, trifluridine, decitabine and cladribine), four 3',5'-dideoxynucleoside analogues, and four 2',5'-dideoxynucleoside analogues was achieved in a collective manner.

Abstract
A genome mining approach was used to identify a hybrid tubercidin-nucleocidin biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) in Streptomyces sp. AVP053U2. Analysis of culture extracts by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed the presence of a glucosylated tubercidin derivative. A gene, avpGT, was identified within the hybrid cluster that has homology to the glucosyltransferase that is responsible for 3'-O-β-glucosylation of the fluorinated natural product nucleocidin. AvpGT was heterologously expressed and purified from Escherichia coli for in vitro characterization. AvpGT is active toward UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose as glycosyl donors and several nucleosides as acceptors. Kinetic analysis revealed that AvpGT is most specific for UDP-glucose [kcat/KMapp = (1.1 ± 0.3) × 105 M-1·s-1] as the glycosyl donor and tubercidin [kcat/KMapp = (5.3 ± 1.8) × 104 M-1·s-1] as the glycosyl acceptor. NMR spectroscopic analysis revealed the product of this reaction to be 3'-O-β-glucopyranosyl tubercidin. A sequence analysis of AvpGT reveals a family of nucleoside-specific GTs, which may be used as markers of BGCs that produce glycosylated nucleosides.

Abstract
Herein, we present a strategy for the preparation of 3'-fluorinated nucleoside analogues via the aminocatalytic, electrophilic fluorination of readily accessible and bench-stable 2'-ketonucleosides. Initially developed to facilitate the manufacture of 3'-fluoroguanosine (3'-FG)─a substructure of anticancer therapeutic MK-1454─this strategy has been extended to the synthesis of a variety of 3'-fluoronucleosides. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the 2'-ketonucleoside synthon as a platform for further diversification and suggest that this methodology should be broadly applicable to the discovery of novel nucleoside analogues.

Abstract
It is important to understand and control the biologically active conformation in medicinal chemistry. Muraymycins and caprazamycins, which are strong inhibitors of MraY, are promising antibacterial agents with a novel mode of action. Focusing on a sugar puckering and a dihedral angle ϕ of the uridine moiety of these natural products, LNA/BNA-type 5'-O-aminoribosyluridine analogues, whose puckering of the ribose moiety are completely restricted to the N-type, were designed and synthesized as simplified MraY inhibitors. Their conformation-activity relationship was further investigated in details. The conformation-activity relationship analysis investigated in this study could be a general guideline for simplification and rational drug design of MraY inhibitory nucleoside natural products.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is the oldest human infection disease. Mortality from TB significantly decreased in the 20th century, because of vaccination and the widespread use of antibiotics. However, about a third of the world’s population is currently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and the death rate from TB is about 1.4–2 million people per year. In the second half of the 20th century, new extensively multidrug-resistant strains of Mtb were identified, which are steadily increasing among TB patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new anti-TB drugs, which remains one of the priorities of pharmacology and medicinal chemistry. The antimycobacterial activity of nucleoside derivatives and analogues was revealed not so long ago, and a lot of studies on their antibacterial properties have been published. Despite the fact that there are no clinically used drugs based on nucleoside analogues, some progress has been made in this area. This review summarizes current research in the field of the design and study of inhibitors of mycobacteria, primarily Mtb.

Abstract
Signal transduction pathways regulating cell wall integrity (CWI) in filamentous fungi have been studied taking into account findings in budding yeast, and much knowledge has been accumulated in recent years. Given that the cell wall is essential for viability in fungi, its architecture has been analyzed in relation to virulence, especially in filamentous fungal pathogens of plants and humans. Although research on CWI signaling in individual fungal species has progressed, an integrated understanding of CWI signaling in diverse fungi has not yet been achieved. For example, the variety of sensor proteins and their functional differences among different fungal species have been described, but the understanding of their general and species-specific biological functions is limited. Our long-term research interest is CWI signaling in filamentous fungi. Here, we outline CWI signaling in these fungi, from sensor proteins required for the recognition of environmental changes to the regulation of cell wall polysaccharide synthesis genes. We discuss the similarities and differences between the functions of CWI signaling factors in filamentous fungi and in budding yeast. We also describe the latest findings on industrial applications, including those derived from studies on CWI signaling: the development of antifungal agents and the development of highly productive strains of filamentous fungi with modified cell surface characteristics by controlling cell wall biogenesis.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) represents an emerging threat to public health. CR-KP infections result in elevated morbidity and mortality. This fact, coupled with their global dissemination and increasingly limited number of therapeutic options, highlights the urgency of novel antimicrobials. Innovative strategies linking genome-wide interrogation with multi-layered metabolic data integration can accelerate the early steps of drug development, particularly target selection. Using the BioCyc ontology, we generated and manually refined a metabolic network for a CR-KP, K. pneumoniae Kp13. Converted into a reaction graph, we conducted topological-based analyses in this network to prioritize pathways exhibiting druggable features and fragile metabolic points likely exploitable to develop novel antimicrobials. Our results point to the aptness of previously recognized pathways, such as lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan synthesis, and casts light on the possibility of targeting less explored cellular functions. These functions include the production of lipoate, trehalose, glycine betaine, and flavin, as well as the salvaging of methionine. Energy metabolism pathways emerged as attractive targets in the context of carbapenem exposure, targeted either alone or in conjunction with current therapeutic options. These results prompt further experimental investigation aimed at controlling this highly relevant pathogen.

Abstract
The 4S-Ag(I)-C base pair (4S, 3-((2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4-yl)thio)propane-1,2-diol; C, deoxycytidine) represents the first metal-mediated base pair comprising an S-glycosidic nucleoside analogue. We report here the synthesis of the phosphoramidite suitable for the automated solid-phase synthesis of DNA oligonucleotides containing 4S and its silver(I)-binding ability. The DNA duplexes comprising a 4S:C mispair exhibit a large thermal stabilization upon the addition of one equivalent of silver ions, giving rise to the formation of the above-mentioned silver(I)-mediated base pair. By formally replacing the sulfur atom in the glycosidic bond by an oxygen atom, i.e., by applying 3-((2-(methylthio)pyrimidin-4-yl)oxy)propane-1,2-diol (4 O) as the artificial nucleoside analogue, the participation of this atom as a donor atom in silver(I)-mediated base pairing is shown to be neglectable.Supplemental data for this article is available online at.

Abstract
In addition to the benefits, increasing the constant need for antibiotics has resulted in the development of antibiotic bacterial resistance over time. Antibiotic tolerance mainly evolves in these bacteria through efflux pumps and biofilms. Leading to its modern and profitable uses, emerging nanotechnology is a significant field of research that is considered as the most important scientific breakthrough in recent years. Metal nanoparticles as nanocarriers are currently attracting a lot of interest from scientists, because of their wide range of applications and higher compatibility with bioactive components. As a consequence of their ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria, nanoparticles have been shown to have significant antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic efficacy in the battle against antibiotic resistance in microorganisms. As a result, this study covers bacterial tolerance to antibiotics, the antibacterial properties of various metal nanoparticles, their mechanisms, and the use of various metal and metal oxide nanoparticles as novel antibiotic carriers for direct antibiotic delivery.

Abstract
A series of new N-1-(β-d-ribofuranosyl) benzimidazole derivatives has been designed using in silico methods and synthesized as probable antimicrobial agents. Further, the compounds were assessed for their antibacterial and antifungal activity. Antibacterial screening was done by employing broth micro-dilution method and compounds exhibited excellent inhibitory activity (MIC, 50-1.56 µg/mL) against different human pathogenic bacteria, viz. B. cerus, B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa and drug resistant strain (DRS) of E. coli. A great synergistic effect was observed during evaluation of ∑FIC, where a combination study was performed using standard references, viz. chloramphenicol and kanamycin. The MIC data obtained from different methods of combination approach revealed 4-128 fold more potency compared to compounds tested alone. The results clearly indicated the possibility of these compounds as active ingredients of drug regimen used against MDR strains. Antifungal screening were also performed employing two different methods, viz. serial dilution method and zone inhibition method, clearly indicated that compounds were also potentially active against several species of pathogenic fungal strains, viz. A. flavus, A. niger, F. oxysporum and C. albicans. The assessment of structure activity relationship (SAR) clearly revealed that presence of less polar and more hydrophobic substituents positively favours the antibacterial activity, conversely, more polar and hydrophilic substituents favours the antifungal activities. Thus, the results positively endorsed the compounds as potent antibacterial and antifungal agents which could be developed as possible drug regimens.

Drug repurposing: phosphate prodrugs of anticancer and antiviral FDA-approved nucleosides as novel antimicrobials. J Antimicrob Chemother 2021; 75:2864-2878.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Following a drug repurposing approach, we aimed to investigate and compare the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of different classes of phosphate prodrugs (HepDirect, cycloSal, SATE and mix SATE) of antiviral and anticancer FDA-approved nucleoside drugs [zidovudine (AZT), floxouridine (FUDR) and gemcitabine (GEM)] against a variety of pathogenic Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. METHODS Ten prodrugs were synthesized and screened for antibacterial activity against seven Gram-negative and two Gram-positive isolates fully susceptible to traditional antibiotics, alongside six Gram-negative and five Gram-positive isolates with resistance mechanisms. Their ability to prevent and eradicate biofilms of different bacterial pathogens in relation to planktonic growth inhibition was also evaluated, together with their effect on proliferation, viability and apoptosis of different eukaryotic cells. RESULTS The prodrugs showed decreased antibacterial activity compared with the parent nucleosides. cycloSal-GEM-monophosphate (MP) prodrugs 20a and 20b were the most active agents against Gram-positive bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus) and retained their activity against antibiotic-resistant isolates. cycloSal-FUDR-MP 21a partially retained good activity against the Gram-positive bacteria E. faecalis, Enterococcus faecium and S. aureus. Most of the prodrugs tested displayed very potent preventive antibiofilm specific activity, but not curative. In terms of cytotoxicity, AZT prodrugs did not affect apoptosis or cell viability at the highest concentration tested, and only weak effects on apoptosis and/or cell viability were observed for GEM and FUDR prodrugs. CONCLUSIONS Among the different prodrug approaches, the cycloSal prodrugs appeared the most effective. In particular, cycloSal (17a) and mix SATE (26) AZT prodrugs combine the lowest cytotoxicity with high and broad antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Introduction: The ProTide technology is a phosphate (or phosphonate) prodrug method devised to deliver nucleoside monophosphate (or monophosphonate) intracellularly bypassing the key challenges of antiviral and anticancer nucleoside analogs. Three new antiviral drugs, exploiting this technology, have been approved by the FDA while others are in clinical studies as anticancer agents.Areas covered: The authors describe the origin and development of this technology and its incredible success in transforming the drug discovery of antiviral and anticancer nucleoside analogues. As evidence, discussion on the antiviral ProTides on the market, and those currently in clinical development are included. The authors focus on how the proven capacity of this technology to generate new drug candidates has stimulated its application to non-nucleoside-based molecules.Expert opinion: The ProTide approach has been extremely successful in delivering blockbuster antiviral medicines and it seems highly promising in oncology. Its application to non-nucleoside-based small molecules is recently emerging and proving effective in other therapeutic areas. However, investigations to explain the lack of activity of certain ProTide series and comprehensive structure activity relationship studies to identify the appropriate phosphoramidate motifs depending on the parent molecule are in our opinion mandatory for the future development of these compounds.

Abstract
Class B1 metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are metalloenzymes found in drug resistant bacteria. The enzyme requires zinc ions, along with conserved amino acid coordination for nucleophilic attack of the lactam ring to induce hydrolysis and inactivation of β-lactam and some carbapenem antibiotics. To this date there are no clinically relevant class B1 MBL inhibitors, however L-captopril has shown significant results against NDM-1, the most difficult MBL to inhibit. Herein, we report the synthesis and evaluation of novel nucleoside analogues modified with polyethylene glycolamino (PEGA) as potential inhibitors for class B1 MBLs. Molecular dynamics simulations, using internal coordinate mechanics (ICM) algorithm, were performed on subclass B1 enzyme complex models screened with twenty-one possible PEGA-nucleosides. Analogue A, 3'-deoxy-3'-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethanamino)-β-D-xylofuranosyluracil showed superior binding, with high specificity to the conserved zinc ions in the class B1 MBL active site by utilizing key β-lactam mimic points in the uridine nucleobase. The PEGA moiety showed chelating activity with zinc and disrupted the metal-binding amino acid geometry. In all subclass B1 proteins tested, analogue A had the most effective inhibition when compared to penicillin or L-captopril. Chemical synthesis was performed by condensation of the corresponding keto ribonucleoside with PEGA, followed by enantioselective reduction of the formed imine to produce the amino derivative with desired configuration. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic screenings revealed that PEGA-pyrimidine nucleosides are not toxic, nor violate Lipinski's rules. These results suggested that analogue A can be proposed as a potential metalloenzyme inhibitor against the widespread antibiotic resistant bacteria and is worth further in vitro and in vivo investigations.

Abstract
Nucleotide metabolism plays a central role in bacterial physiology, producing the nucleic acids necessary for DNA replication and RNA transcription. Recent studies demonstrate that nucleotide metabolism also proactively contributes to antibiotic-induced lethality in bacterial pathogens and that disruptions to nucleotide metabolism contributes to antibiotic treatment failure in the clinic. As antimicrobial resistance continues to grow unchecked, new approaches are needed to study the molecular mechanisms responsible for antibiotic efficacy. Here we review emerging technologies poised to transform understanding into why antibiotics may fail in the clinic. We discuss how these technologies led to the discovery that nucleotide metabolism regulates antibiotic drug responses and why these are relevant to human infections. We highlight opportunities for how studies into nucleotide metabolism may enhance understanding of antibiotic failure mechanisms.

Molecular basis for substrate recognition by the bacterial nucleoside transporter NupG. J Biol Chem 2021; 296:100479. [PMID: 33640454 PMCID: PMC8042404 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2021.100479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2020] [Revised: 02/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Nucleoside homeostasis, which is mediated by transporters and channels, is essential for all life on Earth. In Escherichia coli, NupG mediates the transport of nucleosides and was deemed to be the prototype of the nucleoside proton symporter (NHS) family and the major facilitator superfamily. To date, the substrate recognition and transport mechanisms of NHS transporters are still elusive. Here, we report two crystal structures of NupG (WT and D323A NupG) resolved at 3.0 Å. Both structures reveal an identical inward-open conformation. Together with molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations and in vitro uridine-binding assays, we found that the uridine binding site, which locates in the central cavity between N and C domains of NupG, is constituted by R136, T140, F143, Q225, N228, Q261, E264, Y318, and F322. Moreover, we found that D323 is very important for substrate binding via in vitro uridine-binding assays using D323 mutations, although it does not have a direct contact with uridine. Our structural and biochemical data therefore provide an important framework for the mechanistic understanding of nucleoside transporters of the NHS family.

Abstract
Both glycans (O-glycosides) and nucleosides (N-glycosides) play important roles in numerous biological processes. Chemical synthesis is a reliable and effective means to solve the attainability issues of these essential biomolecules. However, due to the stereo- and regiochemical issues during glycan assembly, together with problems including the poor solubility and nucleophilicity of nucleobases in nucleoside synthesis, the development of one-pot glycosylation strategies toward efficient synthesis of both glycans and nucleosides remains poor and challenging. Here, we report the first orthogonal and reactivity-based one-pot glycosylation strategy suitable for both glycan and nucleoside synthesis on the basis of glycosyl ortho-(1-phenylvinyl)benzoates. This one-pot glycosylation strategy not only inherits the advantages including no aglycon transfers, no undesired interference of departing species, and no unpleasant odors associated with the previously developed orthogonal one-pot glycosylation strategy based on glycosyl ortho-alkynylbenzoates, but also highly expands the scope (glycans and nucleosides) and increases the number of leaving groups that could be employed for the multistep one-pot synthesis (up to the formation of four different glycosidic bonds). In particular, the current one-pot glycosylation strategy is successfully applied to the total synthesis of a promising tuberculosis drug lead capuramycin and the divergent and formal synthesis of TMG-chitotriomycin with potent and specific inhibition activities toward β-N-acetylglucosaminidases and important endosymbiotic lipochitooligosaccharides including the Nod factor and the Myc factor, which represents one of the most efficient and straightforward synthetic routes toward these biologically salient molecules.

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant strains of pathogenic microorganisms necessitates the creation of new drugs. In order to find new compounds that effectively inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and fungi, we synthesized a set of N4-derivatives of cytidine, 2'-deoxycytidine and 5-metyl-2'-deoxycytidine bearing extended N4-alkyl and N4-phenylalkyl groups. The derivatives demonstrate activity against a number of Gram-positive bacteria, including Mycobacterium smegmatis (MIC = 24-200 μM) and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 50-200 μM), comparable with the activities of some antibiotics in medical use. The most promising compound appeared to be N4-dodecyl-5-metyl-2'-deoxycytidine 4h with activities of 24 and 48 μM against M. smegmatis and S. aureus, respectively, and high inhibitory activity of 0.5 mM against filamentous fungi that can, among other things, damage works of art, such as tempera painting. Noteworthy, some of other synthesized compounds are active against fungal growth with the inhibitory concentration in the range of 0.5-3 mM.

Abstract
Banana is a key staple food and fruit in countries all over the world. However, the development of the global banana industry is seriously threatened by Fusarium wilt disease, which is caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc). In particular, Foc tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) could infect more than 80% of global banana and plantain crops. Until now, there were no commercial chemicals or resistant cultivars available to control the disease. Biological control using actinomycetes is considered a promising strategy. In this study, 88 actinomycetes were isolated from a banana orchard without symptoms of Fusarium wilt disease for more than 10 years. An actinobacterial strain labeled as JBS5-6 has exhibited strong antifungal activities against Foc TR4 and other selected 10 phytopathogenic fungi. Based on phenotypic and biochemical traits as well as complete genome analysis, strain JBS5-6 was assigned to Streptomyces violaceusniger. Extracts of the strain inhibited the mycelial growth and spore germination of Foc TR4 by destroying membrane integrity and the ultrastructure of cells. The complete genome of strain JBS5-6 was sequenced and revealed a number of key function gene clusters that contribute to the biosynthesis of active secondary metabolites. Sixteen chemical compounds were further identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde was one of the dominant components in strain JBS5-6 extracts. Moreover, fermentation broth of strain JBS5-6 significantly reduced the disease index of banana seedlings by inhibiting the infection of Foc TR4 in a pot experiment. Hence, strain JBS5-6 is a potential biocontrol agent for the management of disease and the exploitation of biofertilizer.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance poses an increasing threat to global health, and it is urgent to reverse the present trend by accelerating development of new natural product derived drugs. Nucleoside antibiotics, a valuable family of promising natural products with remarkable structural features and diverse biological activities, have played significant roles in healthcare and for plant protection. Understanding the biosynthesis of these intricate molecules has provided a foundation for bioengineering the microbial cell factory towards yield enhancement and structural diversification. In this review, we summarize the recent progresses in employing synthetic biology-based strategies to improve the production of target nucleoside antibiotics. Moreover, we delineate the advances on rationally accessing the chemical diversities of natural nucleoside antibiotics.

Abstract
Modified nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) are invaluable tools to probe bacterial enzymatic mechanisms, develop novel genetic material, and engineer drugs and proteins with new functionalities. Although the impact of nucleobase alterations has predominantly been studied due to their importance for protein recognition, sugar and phosphate modifications have also been investigated. However, NTPs are cell impermeable due to their negatively charged phosphate tail, a major hurdle to achieving live bacterial studies. Herein, we review the recent advances made to investigate and evolve bacteria and their processes with the use of modified NTPs by exploring alterations in one of the three moieties: the nucleobase, the sugar and the phosphate tail. We also present the innovative methods that have been devised to internalize NTPs into bacteria for in vivo applications.

Abstract
In the present work, we suggested anion exchange resins in the phosphate form as a source of phosphate, one of the substrates of the phosphorolysis of uridine, thymidine, and 1-(β-ᴅ-arabinofuranosyl)uracil (Ara-U) catalyzed by recombinant E. coli uridine (UP) and thymidine (TP) phosphorylases. α-ᴅ-Pentofuranose-1-phosphates (PF-1Pis) obtained by phosphorolysis were used in the enzymatic synthesis of nucleosides. It was found that phosphorolysis of uridine, thymidine, and Ara-U in the presence of Dowex® 1X8 (phosphate; Dowex-nPi) proceeded smoothly in the presence of magnesium cations in water at 20-50 °C for 54-96 h giving rise to quantitative formation of the corresponding pyrimidine bases and PF-1Pis. The resulting PF-1Pis can be used in three routes: (1) preparation of barium salts of PF-1Pis, (2) synthesis of nucleosides by reacting the crude PF-1Pi with an heterocyclic base, and (3) synthesis of nucleosides by reacting the ionically bound PF-1Pi to the resin with an heterocyclic base. These three approaches were tested in the synthesis of nelarabine, kinetin riboside, and cladribine with good to excellent yields (52-93%).

Abstract
Nucleoside and nucleic acid analogues are known to possess a considerable therapeutic potential. In this work, by coupling cysteine to nucleosides, we successfully synthesized compounds that may not only have interesting biological properties in their monomeric form, but can be used beyond that, for oligomerization, in order to produce new types of synthetic nucleic acids. We elaborated different strategies for the synthesis of cysteinyl nucleosides as monomers of cysteinyl nucleic acids using nucleophilic substitution or thiol-ene coupling as a synthetic tool, and utilised on two complementary nucleosides, uridine and adenosine. Dipeptidyl dinucleosides and pentameric cysteinyl uridine were prepared from the monomeric building blocks, which are the first members of a new class of peptide nucleic acids containing the entire ribofuranosyl nucleoside units bound to the peptide backbone.

Abstract
The synthesis of stable and potentially bioactive xylofuranosyl nucleoside analogues and potential sugar diphosphate or nucleotide mimetics comprising a 1,2,3-triazole moiety is reported. 3'-O-Methyl-branched N-benzyltriazole isonucleosides were accessed in 5-7 steps and 42-54 % overall yields using a Cu(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition of 3-O-propargyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranose with benzyl azide as key step. Related isonucleotides were obtained by 5-O-phosphorylation of acetonide-protected 3-O-propargyl xylofuranose and further "click" cycloaddition or by Staudinger-phosphite reaction of a 5-azido N-benzyltriazole isonucleoside. Hydroxy-, amino- or bromomethyl triazole 5'-isonucleosides were synthesized by thermal cycloaddition of 5-azido 3-O-benzyl/dodecyl xylofuranoses with propargyl alcohol, propargylamine or propargyl bromide. Better yields (82-85 %) were obtained when using propargyl alcohol and a high 1,4-regioselectivity was attained with propargyl bromide. Further O/N-phosphorylation or Arbuzov reaction led to (triazolyl)methyl phosphates, phosphoramidates or phosphonates. The latter were converted into uracil nucleoside 5'-(triazolyl)methyl phosphonates as prospective nucleoside diphosphate mimetics.

Abstract
Hikizimycin (1), which exhibits powerful anthelmintic activity, has the most densely functionalized structure among nucleoside antibiotics. A central 4-amino-4-deoxyundecose of 1 possesses 10 contiguous stereocenters on a C1-C11 linear chain and is decorated with a cytosine base at C1 and a 3-amino-3-deoxyglucose at C6-OH. These distinctive structural features of 1 make it an extremely challenging target for de novo construction. Herein, we report a convergent total synthesis of 1 from four known components: 3-azide-3-deoxyglucose derivative 4, bis-TMS-cytosine 5, d-mannose 9, and d-galactose derivative 10. We first designed and devised a novel radical coupling reaction between multiply hydroxylated aldehydes and α-alkoxyacyl tellurides. The generality and efficiency of this process was demonstrated by the coupling of 7c and 8, which were readily accessible from two hexoses, 9 and 10, respectively. Et3B and O2 rapidly induced decarbonylative radical formation from α-alkoxyacyl telluride 8, and intermolecular addition of the generated α-alkoxy radical to aldehyde 7c yielded 4-amino-4-deoxyundecose 6-α with installation of the desired C5,6-stereocenters. Subsequent attachments of the cytosine with 5 and of the 3-azide-3-deoxyglucose with 4 were realized through selective activation of the C1-acetal and selective deprotection of the C6-hydroxy group. Finally, the 3 amino and 10 hydroxy groups were liberated in a single step to deliver the target 1. Thus, the combination of the newly developed radical-coupling and protective-group strategies minimized the functional group manipulations and thereby enabled the synthesis of 1 from 10 in only 17 steps. The present total synthesis demonstrates the versatility of intermolecular radical addition to aldehyde for the first time and offers a new strategic design for multistep target-oriented syntheses of various nucleoside antibiotics and other bioactive natural products.
