Abstract

The development of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) enclosing active pharmaceutical ingredients is of considerable interest, as their use in controlled drug release and delivery is very promising. Although nalidixic acid is an antibiotic with a broad spectrum of biological applications, effective mainly against Gram-negative infections, its oral bioavailability is low due to a poor solubility and slow dissolution. Herein, we report new metal–organic frameworks (BioMOFs) comprising nalidixic acid and divalent magnesium and manganese ions. These compounds showed an adequate cytotoxicity and improved antimicrobial activity, especially against Gram-negative bacteria. These BioMOFS are among the first examples containing active pharmaceutical ingredients as linkers. Importantly, it is shown that a remarkable increase of the antimicrobial activity of certain antibiotics may be achieved by delivering them in the form of BioMOFs.

Although resistant gram-positive infections have been concerning to clinicians, the increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant gram-negative infections has become the most pressing issue in bacterial resistance. Indiscriminate antimicrobial use in humans and animals coupled with increased global connectivity facilitated the transmission of gram-negative infections harboring extended-spectrum β-lactamases in the 1990s. Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, such as those containing Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases and New Delhi metallo-β-lactamases, have been the latest scourge since the late 1990s to 2000s. Besides β-lactam resistance, these gram-negative infections are often resistant to multiple drug classes, including fluoroquinolones, which are commonly used to treat community-onset infections. In certain geographic locales, these pathogens, which have been typically associated with health care-associated infections, are disseminating into the community, posing a significant dilemma for clinicians treating community-onset infections. In this Concise Review, we summarize emerging trends in antimicrobial resistance. We also review the current knowledge on the detection, treatment, and prevention of infection with these organisms, with a focus on the carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacilli. Finally, we discuss emerging therapies and areas that need further research and effort to stem the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Secondary building units (SBUs) are mol. complexes and cluster entities in which ligand coordination modes and metal coordination environments can be used in the transformation of these fragments into extended porous networks using polytopic linkers (1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, 1,3,5,7-adamantanetetracarboxylate, etc.).

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Metal-org. frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystd. porous polymeric materials consisting of metal ions or clusters linked together by org. bridging ligands. Due to their permanent porosity, rich surface chem. and tuneable pore sizes, MOFs have emerged as one type of important porous solid and have attracted intensive interests in catalysis, gas adsorption, sepn. and storage over the past two decades. When compared with pure MOFs, the combination of MOFs with functional species or matrix materials not only shows enhanced properties, but also broadens the applications of MOFs in new fields, such as bio-imaging, drug delivery and elec. catalysis, owing to the interactions of the functional species/matrix with the MOF structures. Although the synthesis, chem. modification and potential applications of MOFs have been reviewed previously, there is an increasing awareness on the synthesis and applications of their composites, which have rarely been reviewed. This review aims to fill this gap and discuss the fabrication, properties, and applications of MOF composites. The remaining challenges and future opportunities in this field, in terms of processing techniques, maximizing composite properties, and prospects for applications, have also been indicated.

Compared to traditional porous materials, they possess predominance of large surface areas, tunable pore size and shape, adjustable compn. and functionalized pore surface, which enable them unique advantages and promises for applications in adsorption and release of therapeutic agents. Areas covered: This review addresses MOFs as a new avenue for drug delivery and exhibits their ability to efficiently deliver various kinds of therapeutic agents. It also details the requirements that MOFs need to satisfy for biomedical application, such as toxicol. compatibility, stability, particle size, and surface modification. In addn., several approaches used to enhance encapsulation efficiency are summarized and parameters influencing delivery efficiency are also discussed. Expert opinion: Benefiting from the unique advantages of MOFs materials, efficient delivery of various kinds of drugs has been achieved in some MOF materials. However, it is only the outset of MOFs in drug delivery system, and numerous work need to be done before clin. applications, for example, studying their in vivo toxicity, exploring degrdn. mechanisms so as to establish real stability of MOFs in body's liq., providing appropriated surface modification avenue for MOFs, and researching in vivo efficiency and pharmacokinetics of drug-loaded MOFs.

In this work, we reported a metal-org. framework (MOF) based tumor targeting DDS developed by a one-pot, and org. solvent-free "green" post-synthetic surface modification procedure, starting from the nanoscale MOF MIL-101. Owing to the multifunctional surface coating, premature drug release from this DDS was prevented. Due to the pH responsive benzoic imine bond and the redox responsive disulfide bond at the modified surface, this DDS exhibited tumor acid environment enhanced cellular uptake and intracellular reducing environment triggered drug release. In vitro and in vivo results showed that DOX loaded into this DDS exhibited effective cancer cell inhibition with much reduced side effects.

For all species tested, ciprofloxacin min. inhibitory concns. for 90% inhibition were ≤2.0 μg/mL. Addnl. tests with 5994 isolates detected only 37 (0.6%) strains resistant to 2.0 μg of ciprofloxacin per mL and 106 (1.8%) resistant to 1.0 μg/mL. Only 6 (0.1%) of the 5994 strains were resistant to 16 μg of norfloxacin per mL, and 129 (2.1%) were resistant to 4.0 μg/mL. The majority of resistant strains were streptococci or Pseudomonas species. Resistance among the Enterobacteriaceae was extremely rare (i.e., >99.8% susceptible to both drugs).

When the quinolones were administered i.v. to mice concomitantly with oral biphenylacetic acid, a major metabolite of the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug fenbufen, enoxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and pipemidic acid, which have an unsubstituted piperazine moiety at the 7 position of their parent nuclei, provoked clonic convulsions and subsequent death at ≥6.25 mg/kg in a dose-dependent manner. AM-1091 and T-3262, which have an unsubstituted aminopyrrolidine moiety at their 7 positions, were less epileptogenic than the compds. listed above were. In contrast, ofloxacin, AT-4140, and nalidixic acid, which have piperazine substituted with Me group(s) or no piperazine moiety at their 7 positions, never induced convulsions, even at doses of 100 mg/kg. Lomefloxacin, which has a 3-Me piperazine, however, provoked convulsions at ≥6.25 mg/kg. In the presence of biphenylacetic acid, all the test quinolones except nalidixic acid competitively inhibited [3H]muscimol binding to receptor sites for GABA in vitro. Nalidixic acid did not inhibit the binding at all, even at the highest concn. tested, i.e., 10-4M. The 50% inhibition doses for [3H]muscimol binding varied within 4 orders of magnitude or more, between 10-8 to >10-4M for various compds., and there was a close correlation between the epileptogenic activities of quinolones and their inhibitory potencies for [3H]muscimol binding to GABA receptor sites. Thus, the epileptogenic activity of quinolones possibly relates to the GABA-like structures of substituents at their 7 positions, which act as antagonists of GABA receptors.

(Bentham Science Publishers Ltd.)A review. The quinolones trap DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV on DNA as complexes in which the DNA is broken but constrained by protein. Early studies suggested that drug binding occurs largely along helix-4 of the GyrA (gyrase) and ParC (topoisomerase IV) proteins. However, recent X-ray crystallog. shows drug intercalating between the -1 and +1 nucleotides of cut DNA, with only one end of the drug extending to helix-4. These two models may reflect distinct structural steps in complex formation. A consequence of drug-enzyme-DNA complex formation is reversible inhibition of DNA replication; cell death arises from subsequent events in which bacterial chromosomes are fragmented through two poorly understood pathways. In one pathway, chromosome fragmentation stimulates excessive accumulation of highly toxic reactive oxygen species that are responsible for cell death. Quinolone resistance arises stepwise through selective amplification of mutants when drug concns. are above the MIC and below the MPC, as obsd. with static agar plate assays, dynamic in vitro systems, and exptl. infection of rabbits. The gap between MIC and MPC can be narrowed by compd. design that should restrict the emergence of resistance. Resistance is likely to become increasingly important, since three types of plasmid-borne resistance have been reported.

(Elsevier B.V.)In continuation of our work on synthesis of biheterocycles carrying the biodynamic heterocyclic systems at position 3, a series of new nalidixic acid derivs. having quinazolones moiety were synthesized to achieve enhanced biol. activity and wide spectrum of activity. Nalidixic acid was first converted into its acid chloride using thionyl chloride as an acylating agent at lab. temp. Later it was converted to Me ester. Nalidixoyl chloride formed vigorously reacts with methanol to give a Me ester of nalidixic acid. The ester on addn. of hydrazine hydrate furnished nalidixic acid hydrazide. Appropriate anthranilic acid was refluxed with acetic anhydride to form benzoxazine/acetanthranil. 5-Iodo deriv. of anthranilic acid was prepd. and also utilized to obtain 6-iodo-Benzoxazine/Acetanthranil. Also, 6-nitrobenzoxazine/acetanthranil was obtained by nitration of acetanthranil using conc. H2SO4 and fuming HNO3. Equimolar proportions of the appropriate synthesized acetanthranils and nalidixic acid hydrazide in the presence of ethanol were refluxed to synthesize quinazolones. Elemental anal. and IR spectra confirmed nalidixic acid hydrazide formation. The structures of the compds. obtained have been established on the basis of spectral (IR, 1H NMR and mass) data. The current study also involves in vitro antimicrobial screening (using Agar diln. and Punch well diffusion method) of synthesized quinazolone derivs. bearing nalidixic acid moiety on randomly collected microbial strains. Some derivs. showed marked inhibitory activity against enteric pathogen like Aeromonas hydrophila, a causative agent of diarrhea in children as well as adults. One deriv. was found to be active against Streptococcus pyogenes. No significant inhibitory activity was seen by any of synthesized derivs. against Coagulase neg. Staphylococcus. One deriv. was found to show very high activity against the Candida colonies and another deriv. was also found to exhibit inhibitory activity against Candida albicans; a normal flora of the human body which plays an important role in causing opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts. Proteus vulgaris, a gram-neg. bacteria included in our study, was found to be inhibited.

Over time, resistance of pathogenic microbes to nalidixic acid led to the design of novel variants to revive its potential application. In the present work, a series of eight nanoformulations of nalidixic acid-based diacyl and sulfonyl acyl hydrazine derivatives were prepared. All nanoformulations were found to be stable at different storage temperatures. Antibacterial and anticandida activity of the eight nanoformulations presented encouraging results when compared with their non-nano parent counterparts. The nanoformulations of chloro, furanyl, and sulfonyl acyl substituted derivatives of nalidixic acid displayed most promising results (MIC ranging from 50 to 100 μg mL(-1)) against the tested bacteria and yeast. Among the screened bacteria, Acinetobacter baumannii displayed maximum sensitivity to the above nanoformulations. Biosafety study on the mammalian model-wax moth, Galleria mellonella-showed that all eight prepared nanoformulations were absolutely nontoxic to the larvae and subsequent pupae and hence may likely have no or low toxicity against mammalian systems.

(Elsevier Ltd.)A review. For more than 2 billion years, microbes have reigned on our planet, evolving or outlasting many obstacles they have encountered. In the 20th century, this trend took a dramatic turn with the introduction of antibiotics and vaccines. Nevertheless, since then, microbes have progressively eroded the effectiveness of previously successful antibiotics by developing resistance, and many infections have eluded conventional vaccine design approaches. Moreover, the emergence of resistant and more virulent strains of bacteria has outpaced the development of new antibiotics over the last few decades. These trends have had major economic and health impacts at all levels of the socioeconomic spectrum - we need breakthrough innovations that could effectively manage microbial infections and deliver solns. that stand the test of time. The application of nanotechnologies to medicine, or nanomedicine, which has already demonstrated its tremendous impact on the pharmaceutical and biotechnol. industries, is rapidly becoming a major driving force behind ongoing changes in the antimicrobial field. Here we provide an overview on the current progress of nanomedicine in the management of microbial infection, including diagnosis, antimicrobial therapy, drug delivery, medical devices, and vaccines, as well as perspectives on the opportunities and challenges in antimicrobial nanomedicine.

(American Chemical Society)Quinolones and fluoroquinolones are widely used antibacterial agents. Nalidixic acid (NA) is a first-generation quinolone-based antibiotic that has a narrow spectrum and poor pharmacokinetics. Here, we describe a family of peptide-nalidixic acid conjugates featuring different levels of hydrophobicity and mol. charge prepd. by solid-phase peptide synthesis that exhibit intriguing improvements in potency. In comparison to NA, which has a low level of potency in S. aureus, the NA peptide conjugates with optimized hydrophobicities and mol. charges exhibited significantly improved antibacterial activity. The most potent NA conjugate-featuring a peptide contg. cyclohexylalanine and arginine-exhibited efficient bacterial uptake and, notably, specific inhibition of S. aureus DNA gyrase. A systematic study of peptide-NA conjugates revealed that a fine balance of cationic charge and hydrophobicity in an appendage anchored to the core of the drug is required to overcome the intrinsic resistance of S. aureus DNA gyrase toward this quinolone-based drug. - 23Behrens, N.

(Elsevier Masson SAS)Nalidixic acid-DACH conjugate Cu(II) mol. entity (I) was synthesized, thoroughly characterized by spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, EPR and ESI-MS) and single crystal x-ray diffraction technique as a potential chemotherapeutic drug candidate for cancer oncol. Complex I was a potent drug-like mol. entity in confirmation with Lipinski rules. 1R,2R-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) ligand scaffold (which reduces the drawbacks of cisplatin analogs) and nalidixic acid pharmacophore make it a suitable drug entity targeting nucleic acids. To evaluate the chemotherapeutic potential of complex I comparative in vitro DNA/RNA interaction studies have been investigated by employing various biophys. techniques (UV-vis, fluorescence, CD, viscosity, cyclic voltammetry and FT-IR), cleavage activity and Topo-II inhibition assay. Further, mechanistic investigation revealed the efficiency of complex I to cleave pBR322 DNA strands by an oxidative pathway involving the generation of ROS and preferential selectivity towards the A-T region of DNA major groove. Antiproliferative activity in conjugation with flow cytometry anal. of complex I against human osteoblastoma cell line (U2OS) suggested a cell cycle arrest at S phase. This work further advances the authors knowledge for the development and design of small RNA targeted therapeutic mols. which are under exploited drug targets.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Novel ionic Ag(I)-piperazinium nalidixic acid conjugate 1 was synthesized as a potential antitumor agent and was thoroughly characterized by elemental anal., FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR and single X-ray crystal diffraction studies. Complex 1 crystd. in the triclinic space group P1 and comprises a dipiperazinium-Ag(I) cationic unit, two nalidixate (naI-) anionic moieties and a nitrate ion. The Ag(I) ion adopted a linear configuration upon coordination with two nitrogen atoms of piperazinium cations (pipzH+) arranged in a trans fashion. The d. functional theory (DFT) studies of 1 revealed the HOMO and LUMO to be localized on the metal center viz., the dx2-y2 orbital and partially localized on the C27, C28, C29, C30, C31, C32, N7 and N6 atoms of the piperazinium moiety. Non covalent interaction (NCI) calcns. were carried out to identify the weak non-covalent interactions from the topol. anal. and reduced gradient of the electron d. of complex 1. Our results revealed significant inter- and intramol. non-covalent interactions between the naI- and [Ag(pip)2]2+ units. Furthermore, an anal. of Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots were carried out to ascertain a comparison between intermol. interactions which provide interesting supramol. architectures involving combinations of N-H···O, O-H···O and C-H···O linkages into a two-dimensional framework. In vitro binding studies of 1 with ct-DNA and tRNA revealed higher binding propensity for tRNA which was evidenced from its higher intrinsic binding const., Kb and binding const., K values and the mode of binding was found to be groove binding in nature. The catalytic activity of topoisomerase I enzyme in the presence of complex 1 was ascertained by gel electrophoretic assay which demonstrated significant inhibitory effects at a low concn. of 25 μM. The cytotoxicity activity of 1 was detd. by SRB assay on MIA-PA-CA-2, HepG2, HeLa and MCF7 human cancer cell lines; these results exhibited specific and selective antitumor activity for the MIA-PA-CA-2 cancer cell line with a GI50 value <10.

(American Chemical Society)Nalidixic acid is an antibiotic from the quinolones family whose bioavailability is limited due to its low soly. The development of complexes and bioinspired metal-org. frameworks has been explored as a way to achieve controlled drug delivery and release, and we demonstrate that they can also be used to tune drugs' physicochem. properties, such as soly. Herein we disclose a series of complexes and frameworks of nalidixic acid and Zn. One of these frameworks duplicates the soly. of nalidixic acid, and it is stable on the shelf and to 77% room humidity. The incorporation of a second ligand into the frameworks is also presented, showing the possibility to develop extended networks with further potential applications. - 29Rios, F. J.; Montezano, A.

(National Academy of Sciences)Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infects one-third of the world's population and in 2013 accounted for 1.5 million deaths. Fluoroquinolone antibacterials, which target DNA gyrase, are crit. agents used to halt the progression from multidrug-resistant tuberculosis to extensively resistant disease; however, fluoroquinolone resistance is emerging and new ways to bypass resistance are required. To better explain known differences in fluoroquinolone action, the crystal structures of the WT Mtb DNA gyrase cleavage core and a fluoroquinolone-sensitized mutant were detd. in complex with DNA and five fluoroquinolones. The structures, ranging from 2.4- to 2.6-Å resoln., show that the intrinsically low susceptibility of Mtb to fluoroquinolones correlates with a redn. in contacts to the water shell of an assocd. magnesium ion, which bridges fluoroquinolone-gyrase interactions. Surprisingly, the structural data revealed few differences in fluoroquinolone-enzyme contacts from drugs that have very different activities against Mtb. By contrast, a stability assay using purified components showed a clear relationship between ternary complex reversibility and inhibitory activities reported with cultured cells. Collectively, our data indicate that the stability of fluoroquinolone/DNA interactions is a major determinant of fluoroquinolone activity and that moieties that have been appended to the C7 position of different quinolone scaffolds do not take advantage of specific contacts that might be made with the enzyme. These concepts point to new approaches for developing quinolone-class compds. that have increased potency against Mtb and the ability to overcome resistance.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Mechanochem. methods of neat grinding and liq.-assisted grinding have been applied to the synthesis of mono- and bis(thiourea)s by using the click coupling of arom. and aliph. diamines with arom. isothiocyanates. The ability to modify the reaction conditions allowed the optimization of each reaction, leading to the quant. formation of chiral bis(thiourea)s with known uses as organocatalysts or anion sensors. Quant. reaction yields, combined with the fact that mechanochem. reaction conditions avoid the use of bulk solvents, enabled soln.-based purifn. methods (such as chromatog. or recrystn.) to be completely avoided. Importantly, by using selected model reactions, we also show that the described mechanochem. reaction procedures can be readily scaled up to at least the one-gram scale. In that way, mechanochem. synthesis provides a facile method to fully transform valuable enantiomerically pure reagents into useful products that can immediately be applied in their designed purpose. This was demonstrated by using some of the mechanochem. prepd. reagents as organocatalysts in a model Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction and as cyanide ion sensors in org. solvents. The use of electronically and sterically hindered ortho-phenylenediamine revealed that mechanochem. reaction conditions can be readily optimized to form either the 1:1 or the 1:2 click-coupling product, demonstrating that reaction stoichiometry can be more efficiently controlled under these conditions than in soln.-based syntheses. In this way, it was shown that excellent stoichiometric control by mechanochem., previously established for mechanochem. syntheses of cocrystals and coordination polymers, can also be achieved in the context of covalent-bond formation.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The authors disclose a new pathway for the design of dapsone co-crystals exploring the formation of N-H···O/N interactions using amide and pyridinic derivs. as potential co-formers. Two new co-crystals of dapsone, a sulfonamide antibiotic, with ε-caprolactam and 4,4'-bipyridine were synthesized preferentially by traditional soln. techniques, but mechanochem. also was addressed. The full structural characterization of these forms is discussed and shows that: (a) in the co-crystal with ε-caprolactam the typical NNH2···OSO2 interactions of dapsone mols. and the cages formed between them are disrupted by a new NNH2···OCONH interaction, in which ε-caprolactam mols. further form amide···amide R22(8) synthons and (b) in the co-crystal with 4,4'-bipyridine, the NNH2···OSO2 interactions between dapsone mols. are maintained and addnl. NNH2···Npyridine interactions are responsible for the formation of 4,4'-bipyridine channels between dapsone cages. Also, the thermal stability of these co-crystals is also discussed, showing that the co-formers leave the structure and hence the reported melting corresponds to the melting of pure dapsone.

The aim of this crit. review is to provide a broad but digestible overview of mechanochem. synthesis, i.e. reactions conducted by grinding solid reactants together with no or minimal solvent. Although mechanochem. has historically been a sideline approach to synthesis it may soon move into the mainstream because it is increasingly apparent that it can be practical, and even advantageous, and because of the opportunities it provides for developing more sustainable methods. Concg. on recent advances, this article covers industrial aspects, inorg. materials, org. synthesis, cocrystn., pharmaceutical aspects, metal complexes (including metal-org. frameworks), supramol. aspects and characterization methods. The historical development, mechanistic aspects, limitations and opportunities are also discussed.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The development of modern pharmaceutical solid forms, including solvates, polymorphs, salts or cocrystals, is related to the design and control of mol. self-assembly processes. Mechanochem. has emerged as an excellent exptl. approach to rapidly and efficiently screen for and synthesize such pharmaceutical materials. This is particularly the case for pharmaceutical cocrystals which are of considerable interest in the area of modern solid-state pharmaceutical materials science. Mechanochem. has also been demonstrated as a successful technique to screen and synthesize metal-org. pharmaceutical derivs. (herein addressed as metallopharmaceuticals) as well as metallodrugs. The quant. yields and high crystallinity of products obtained via mechanochem. synthesis enables the efficient coupling of solvent-free screening and structure detn. from powder X-ray diffraction data to provide rapid advances in systematic studies and the structural understanding of pharmaceutical forms based on hydrogen bonding interactions or coordination bonds. In this review, we describe how mechanochem. methods have improved the development of new solid forms and their structural understanding, as well as the development of supramol. strategies for the crystal engineering of pharmaceutical solid forms.

In this tutorial review the authors focus on recent research into the use of mechanochem. (grinding) to synthesize metal complex in the absence of solvent. The authors include synthesis of mononuclear complex, coordination clusters, spacious coordination cages, and 1-, 2- and 3-dimensional coordination polymers (metal org. frameworks) which can even exhibit microporosity. Remarkably, in many cases, mechanochem. synthesis is actually faster and more convenient than the original solvent-based methods. Examples of solvent-free methods other than grinding are also briefly discussed, and the pos. outlook for this growing topic is emphasized.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Mechanochem. reactions effected by milling or grinding are an attractive means to conduct chem. reactions dependent on mol. recognition and to systematically explore different modes of mol. self-assembly. The natural relation between milling mechanochem. and supramol. chem. arises primarily from the ability to avoid bulk solvent, which simultaneously avoids limitations of soln.-based chem., such as soly., solvent complexation, or solvolysis, and makes the resulting process highly environmentally friendly. This tutorial review highlights the use of mechanochem. for the synthesis of supramol. targets in the solid state, such as mol. hydrogen- or halogen-bonded complexes, mol. and supramol. cages, open frameworks and interlocked architectures. Also the mol. self-assembly phenomena that are well-established in soln. chem., such as reversible binding through covalent or non-covalent bonds, thermodn. equilibration and structure templating, are also accessible in milling mechanochem. through recently developed highly efficient methodologies such as liq.-assisted grinding (LAG) or ion- and liq.-assisted grinding (ILAG). Also highlighted are the new opportunities arising from the marriage of concepts of supramol. and mechanochem. synthesis, including organocatalysis, deracemization and discovery of new mol. recognition motifs.

(American Chemical Society)Despite the great interest that cocrystals are currently gaining for their application to the design of new supramol. structures with desired functional properties, studies concerning new exptl. strategies capable of controlling polymorphism phenomena of a given system are scarcely reported. We propose herein the use of polymer-assisted grinding (POLAG) as a new method for the selective control of the product polymorphic form in a mechanochem. cocrystn. reaction. Specifically, to the model system selected in this study formed by caffeine and glutaric acid, we demonstrate that the polymorphic outcome can be controlled by modifying the no. of monomer units of the catalyst from the shortest dimer to a polymer with chains of approx. 1000 units. The characteristics of each polymorphic form were investigated by low-dose high-resoln. TEM, and the mechanistic aspects of the cocrystal formation were studied through a series of ex situ and interconversion expts. The results suggest that for this system the modification of the catalyst chain length and, consequently, modification of polarity drives cocrystal formation toward the more stable polymorph. The approach proposed in this paper can be readily applied to each system, where polarity is the main issue for polymorph control without the risk of solvate formation. - 59Hasa, D.; Rauber, G.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Mechanochem. is an effective method for the prepn. of multicomponent crystal systems. In the present work, we propose an alternative to the established liq.-assisted grinding (LAG) approach. Polymer-assisted grinding (POLAG) is demonstrated to provide a new class of catalysts for improving reaction rate and increasing product diversity during mechanochem. cocrystn. reactions. We demonstrate that POLAG provides advantages comparable to the conventional liq.-assisted process, while eliminating the risk of unwanted solvate formation as well as enabling control of resulting particle size. It represents a new approach for the development of functional materials through mechanochem., and possibly opens new routes toward the understanding of the mechanisms and pathways of mechanochem. cocrystal formation.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Antibiotic resistance is a global public health concern. The choline-based ionic liqs. (ILs) have raised particular attention in the design of "greener" ILs and can exert a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial activity. To improve antimicrobial chemotherapy, the authors herein tested the antimicrobial activity and toxicity of a wide range of choline-based ILs. Two series of compds. were synthesized -dimethylethanolamine monoquaternary ammonium salts (Series A) and -Me diethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine monoquaternary ammonium salts (Series B). The antimicrobial screening revealed that compds. N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyl-1-tetradecanaminium bromide ([N1,1,14,2(OH)]Br), N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyl-1-hexadecanaminium bromide ([N1,1,16,2(OH)]Br) and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyl-1-octadecanaminium bromide ([N1,1,18,2(OH)]Br) are potent antimicrobial agents. The presence of a hydroxyethyl group and as mention previously in the literature, the C14 to C16 linker in a choline compd. improves the antimicrobial activity and lowers the cytotoxic properties of this class of compds.

Although resistant gram-positive infections have been concerning to clinicians, the increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant gram-negative infections has become the most pressing issue in bacterial resistance. Indiscriminate antimicrobial use in humans and animals coupled with increased global connectivity facilitated the transmission of gram-negative infections harboring extended-spectrum β-lactamases in the 1990s. Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, such as those containing Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases and New Delhi metallo-β-lactamases, have been the latest scourge since the late 1990s to 2000s. Besides β-lactam resistance, these gram-negative infections are often resistant to multiple drug classes, including fluoroquinolones, which are commonly used to treat community-onset infections. In certain geographic locales, these pathogens, which have been typically associated with health care-associated infections, are disseminating into the community, posing a significant dilemma for clinicians treating community-onset infections. In this Concise Review, we summarize emerging trends in antimicrobial resistance. We also review the current knowledge on the detection, treatment, and prevention of infection with these organisms, with a focus on the carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacilli. Finally, we discuss emerging therapies and areas that need further research and effort to stem the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

This review highlights various design and synthesis approaches toward the construction of ZMOFs, which are metal-org. frameworks (MOFs) with topologies and, in some cases, features akin to traditional inorg. zeolites. The interest in this unique subset of MOFs is correlated with their exceptional characteristics arising from the periodic pore systems and distinctive cage-like cavities, in conjunction with modular intra- and/or extra-framework components, which ultimately allow for tailoring of the pore size, pore shape, and/or properties towards specific applications.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Metal-org. frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystd. porous polymeric materials consisting of metal ions or clusters linked together by org. bridging ligands. Due to their permanent porosity, rich surface chem. and tuneable pore sizes, MOFs have emerged as one type of important porous solid and have attracted intensive interests in catalysis, gas adsorption, sepn. and storage over the past two decades. When compared with pure MOFs, the combination of MOFs with functional species or matrix materials not only shows enhanced properties, but also broadens the applications of MOFs in new fields, such as bio-imaging, drug delivery and elec. catalysis, owing to the interactions of the functional species/matrix with the MOF structures. Although the synthesis, chem. modification and potential applications of MOFs have been reviewed previously, there is an increasing awareness on the synthesis and applications of their composites, which have rarely been reviewed. This review aims to fill this gap and discuss the fabrication, properties, and applications of MOF composites. The remaining challenges and future opportunities in this field, in terms of processing techniques, maximizing composite properties, and prospects for applications, have also been indicated.

(Informa Healthcare)A review. Introduction: Metal-org. frameworks (MOFs) are a unique class of hybrid porous solids based on metals and org. linkers. Compared to traditional porous materials, they possess predominance of large surface areas, tunable pore size and shape, adjustable compn. and functionalized pore surface, which enable them unique advantages and promises for applications in adsorption and release of therapeutic agents. Areas covered: This review addresses MOFs as a new avenue for drug delivery and exhibits their ability to efficiently deliver various kinds of therapeutic agents. It also details the requirements that MOFs need to satisfy for biomedical application, such as toxicol. compatibility, stability, particle size, and surface modification. In addn., several approaches used to enhance encapsulation efficiency are summarized and parameters influencing delivery efficiency are also discussed. Expert opinion: Benefiting from the unique advantages of MOFs materials, efficient delivery of various kinds of drugs has been achieved in some MOF materials. However, it is only the outset of MOFs in drug delivery system, and numerous work need to be done before clin. applications, for example, studying their in vivo toxicity, exploring degrdn. mechanisms so as to establish real stability of MOFs in body's liq., providing appropriated surface modification avenue for MOFs, and researching in vivo efficiency and pharmacokinetics of drug-loaded MOFs.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. Metal-org. frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant research attention in diverse areas due to their unique phys. and chem. characteristics that allow their innovative application in various research fields. Recently, the application of MOFs in heterogeneous photocatalysis for water splitting, CO2 redn., and org. transformation have emerged, aiming at providing alternative solns. to address the world-wide energy and environmental problems by taking advantage of the unique porous structure together with ample physicochem. properties of the metal centers and org. ligands in MOFs. In this review, the latest progress in MOF-involved solar-to-chem. energy conversion reactions are summarized according to their different roles in the photoredox chem. systems, e.g., photocatalysts, co-catalysts, and hosts. The achieved progress and existing problems are evaluated and proposed, and the opportunities and challenges of MOFs and their related materials for their advanced development in photocatalysis are discussed and anticipated.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Drug delivery systems (DDSs) with biocompatibility and precise drug delivery are eagerly needed to overcome the paradox in chemotherapy that high drug doses are required to compensate for the poor biodistribution of drugs with frequent dose-related side effects. In this work, we reported a metal-org. framework (MOF) based tumor targeting DDS developed by a one-pot, and org. solvent-free "green" post-synthetic surface modification procedure, starting from the nanoscale MOF MIL-101. Owing to the multifunctional surface coating, premature drug release from this DDS was prevented. Due to the pH responsive benzoic imine bond and the redox responsive disulfide bond at the modified surface, this DDS exhibited tumor acid environment enhanced cellular uptake and intracellular reducing environment triggered drug release. In vitro and in vivo results showed that DOX loaded into this DDS exhibited effective cancer cell inhibition with much reduced side effects.

When the quinolones were administered i.v. to mice concomitantly with oral biphenylacetic acid, a major metabolite of the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug fenbufen, enoxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and pipemidic acid, which have an unsubstituted piperazine moiety at the 7 position of their parent nuclei, provoked clonic convulsions and subsequent death at ≥6.25 mg/kg in a dose-dependent manner. AM-1091 and T-3262, which have an unsubstituted aminopyrrolidine moiety at their 7 positions, were less epileptogenic than the compds. listed above were. In contrast, ofloxacin, AT-4140, and nalidixic acid, which have piperazine substituted with Me group(s) or no piperazine moiety at their 7 positions, never induced convulsions, even at doses of 100 mg/kg. Lomefloxacin, which has a 3-Me piperazine, however, provoked convulsions at ≥6.25 mg/kg. In the presence of biphenylacetic acid, all the test quinolones except nalidixic acid competitively inhibited [3H]muscimol binding to receptor sites for GABA in vitro. Nalidixic acid did not inhibit the binding at all, even at the highest concn. tested, i.e., 10-4M. The 50% inhibition doses for [3H]muscimol binding varied within 4 orders of magnitude or more, between 10-8 to >10-4M for various compds., and there was a close correlation between the epileptogenic activities of quinolones and their inhibitory potencies for [3H]muscimol binding to GABA receptor sites. Thus, the epileptogenic activity of quinolones possibly relates to the GABA-like structures of substituents at their 7 positions, which act as antagonists of GABA receptors.

(Bentham Science Publishers Ltd.)A review. The quinolones trap DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV on DNA as complexes in which the DNA is broken but constrained by protein. Early studies suggested that drug binding occurs largely along helix-4 of the GyrA (gyrase) and ParC (topoisomerase IV) proteins. However, recent X-ray crystallog. shows drug intercalating between the -1 and +1 nucleotides of cut DNA, with only one end of the drug extending to helix-4. These two models may reflect distinct structural steps in complex formation. A consequence of drug-enzyme-DNA complex formation is reversible inhibition of DNA replication; cell death arises from subsequent events in which bacterial chromosomes are fragmented through two poorly understood pathways. In one pathway, chromosome fragmentation stimulates excessive accumulation of highly toxic reactive oxygen species that are responsible for cell death. Quinolone resistance arises stepwise through selective amplification of mutants when drug concns. are above the MIC and below the MPC, as obsd. with static agar plate assays, dynamic in vitro systems, and exptl. infection of rabbits. The gap between MIC and MPC can be narrowed by compd. design that should restrict the emergence of resistance. Resistance is likely to become increasingly important, since three types of plasmid-borne resistance have been reported.

(Elsevier B.V.)In continuation of our work on synthesis of biheterocycles carrying the biodynamic heterocyclic systems at position 3, a series of new nalidixic acid derivs. having quinazolones moiety were synthesized to achieve enhanced biol. activity and wide spectrum of activity. Nalidixic acid was first converted into its acid chloride using thionyl chloride as an acylating agent at lab. temp. Later it was converted to Me ester. Nalidixoyl chloride formed vigorously reacts with methanol to give a Me ester of nalidixic acid. The ester on addn. of hydrazine hydrate furnished nalidixic acid hydrazide. Appropriate anthranilic acid was refluxed with acetic anhydride to form benzoxazine/acetanthranil. 5-Iodo deriv. of anthranilic acid was prepd. and also utilized to obtain 6-iodo-Benzoxazine/Acetanthranil. Also, 6-nitrobenzoxazine/acetanthranil was obtained by nitration of acetanthranil using conc. H2SO4 and fuming HNO3. Equimolar proportions of the appropriate synthesized acetanthranils and nalidixic acid hydrazide in the presence of ethanol were refluxed to synthesize quinazolones. Elemental anal. and IR spectra confirmed nalidixic acid hydrazide formation. The structures of the compds. obtained have been established on the basis of spectral (IR, 1H NMR and mass) data. The current study also involves in vitro antimicrobial screening (using Agar diln. and Punch well diffusion method) of synthesized quinazolone derivs. bearing nalidixic acid moiety on randomly collected microbial strains. Some derivs. showed marked inhibitory activity against enteric pathogen like Aeromonas hydrophila, a causative agent of diarrhea in children as well as adults. One deriv. was found to be active against Streptococcus pyogenes. No significant inhibitory activity was seen by any of synthesized derivs. against Coagulase neg. Staphylococcus. One deriv. was found to show very high activity against the Candida colonies and another deriv. was also found to exhibit inhibitory activity against Candida albicans; a normal flora of the human body which plays an important role in causing opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts. Proteus vulgaris, a gram-neg. bacteria included in our study, was found to be inhibited.

Over time, resistance of pathogenic microbes to nalidixic acid led to the design of novel variants to revive its potential application. In the present work, a series of eight nanoformulations of nalidixic acid-based diacyl and sulfonyl acyl hydrazine derivatives were prepared. All nanoformulations were found to be stable at different storage temperatures. Antibacterial and anticandida activity of the eight nanoformulations presented encouraging results when compared with their non-nano parent counterparts. The nanoformulations of chloro, furanyl, and sulfonyl acyl substituted derivatives of nalidixic acid displayed most promising results (MIC ranging from 50 to 100 μg mL(-1)) against the tested bacteria and yeast. Among the screened bacteria, Acinetobacter baumannii displayed maximum sensitivity to the above nanoformulations. Biosafety study on the mammalian model-wax moth, Galleria mellonella-showed that all eight prepared nanoformulations were absolutely nontoxic to the larvae and subsequent pupae and hence may likely have no or low toxicity against mammalian systems.

(Elsevier Ltd.)A review. For more than 2 billion years, microbes have reigned on our planet, evolving or outlasting many obstacles they have encountered. In the 20th century, this trend took a dramatic turn with the introduction of antibiotics and vaccines. Nevertheless, since then, microbes have progressively eroded the effectiveness of previously successful antibiotics by developing resistance, and many infections have eluded conventional vaccine design approaches. Moreover, the emergence of resistant and more virulent strains of bacteria has outpaced the development of new antibiotics over the last few decades. These trends have had major economic and health impacts at all levels of the socioeconomic spectrum - we need breakthrough innovations that could effectively manage microbial infections and deliver solns. that stand the test of time. The application of nanotechnologies to medicine, or nanomedicine, which has already demonstrated its tremendous impact on the pharmaceutical and biotechnol. industries, is rapidly becoming a major driving force behind ongoing changes in the antimicrobial field. Here we provide an overview on the current progress of nanomedicine in the management of microbial infection, including diagnosis, antimicrobial therapy, drug delivery, medical devices, and vaccines, as well as perspectives on the opportunities and challenges in antimicrobial nanomedicine.

(American Chemical Society)Quinolones and fluoroquinolones are widely used antibacterial agents. Nalidixic acid (NA) is a first-generation quinolone-based antibiotic that has a narrow spectrum and poor pharmacokinetics. Here, we describe a family of peptide-nalidixic acid conjugates featuring different levels of hydrophobicity and mol. charge prepd. by solid-phase peptide synthesis that exhibit intriguing improvements in potency. In comparison to NA, which has a low level of potency in S. aureus, the NA peptide conjugates with optimized hydrophobicities and mol. charges exhibited significantly improved antibacterial activity. The most potent NA conjugate-featuring a peptide contg. cyclohexylalanine and arginine-exhibited efficient bacterial uptake and, notably, specific inhibition of S. aureus DNA gyrase. A systematic study of peptide-NA conjugates revealed that a fine balance of cationic charge and hydrophobicity in an appendage anchored to the core of the drug is required to overcome the intrinsic resistance of S. aureus DNA gyrase toward this quinolone-based drug. - 23Behrens, N.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Novel ionic Ag(I)-piperazinium nalidixic acid conjugate 1 was synthesized as a potential antitumor agent and was thoroughly characterized by elemental anal., FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR and single X-ray crystal diffraction studies. Complex 1 crystd. in the triclinic space group P1 and comprises a dipiperazinium-Ag(I) cationic unit, two nalidixate (naI-) anionic moieties and a nitrate ion. The Ag(I) ion adopted a linear configuration upon coordination with two nitrogen atoms of piperazinium cations (pipzH+) arranged in a trans fashion. The d. functional theory (DFT) studies of 1 revealed the HOMO and LUMO to be localized on the metal center viz., the dx2-y2 orbital and partially localized on the C27, C28, C29, C30, C31, C32, N7 and N6 atoms of the piperazinium moiety. Non covalent interaction (NCI) calcns. were carried out to identify the weak non-covalent interactions from the topol. anal. and reduced gradient of the electron d. of complex 1. Our results revealed significant inter- and intramol. non-covalent interactions between the naI- and [Ag(pip)2]2+ units. Furthermore, an anal. of Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots were carried out to ascertain a comparison between intermol. interactions which provide interesting supramol. architectures involving combinations of N-H···O, O-H···O and C-H···O linkages into a two-dimensional framework. In vitro binding studies of 1 with ct-DNA and tRNA revealed higher binding propensity for tRNA which was evidenced from its higher intrinsic binding const., Kb and binding const., K values and the mode of binding was found to be groove binding in nature. The catalytic activity of topoisomerase I enzyme in the presence of complex 1 was ascertained by gel electrophoretic assay which demonstrated significant inhibitory effects at a low concn. of 25 μM. The cytotoxicity activity of 1 was detd. by SRB assay on MIA-PA-CA-2, HepG2, HeLa and MCF7 human cancer cell lines; these results exhibited specific and selective antitumor activity for the MIA-PA-CA-2 cancer cell line with a GI50 value <10.

(National Academy of Sciences)Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infects one-third of the world's population and in 2013 accounted for 1.5 million deaths. Fluoroquinolone antibacterials, which target DNA gyrase, are crit. agents used to halt the progression from multidrug-resistant tuberculosis to extensively resistant disease; however, fluoroquinolone resistance is emerging and new ways to bypass resistance are required. To better explain known differences in fluoroquinolone action, the crystal structures of the WT Mtb DNA gyrase cleavage core and a fluoroquinolone-sensitized mutant were detd. in complex with DNA and five fluoroquinolones. The structures, ranging from 2.4- to 2.6-Å resoln., show that the intrinsically low susceptibility of Mtb to fluoroquinolones correlates with a redn. in contacts to the water shell of an assocd. magnesium ion, which bridges fluoroquinolone-gyrase interactions. Surprisingly, the structural data revealed few differences in fluoroquinolone-enzyme contacts from drugs that have very different activities against Mtb. By contrast, a stability assay using purified components showed a clear relationship between ternary complex reversibility and inhibitory activities reported with cultured cells. Collectively, our data indicate that the stability of fluoroquinolone/DNA interactions is a major determinant of fluoroquinolone activity and that moieties that have been appended to the C7 position of different quinolone scaffolds do not take advantage of specific contacts that might be made with the enzyme. These concepts point to new approaches for developing quinolone-class compds. that have increased potency against Mtb and the ability to overcome resistance.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Mechanochem. methods of neat grinding and liq.-assisted grinding have been applied to the synthesis of mono- and bis(thiourea)s by using the click coupling of arom. and aliph. diamines with arom. isothiocyanates. The ability to modify the reaction conditions allowed the optimization of each reaction, leading to the quant. formation of chiral bis(thiourea)s with known uses as organocatalysts or anion sensors. Quant. reaction yields, combined with the fact that mechanochem. reaction conditions avoid the use of bulk solvents, enabled soln.-based purifn. methods (such as chromatog. or recrystn.) to be completely avoided. Importantly, by using selected model reactions, we also show that the described mechanochem. reaction procedures can be readily scaled up to at least the one-gram scale. In that way, mechanochem. synthesis provides a facile method to fully transform valuable enantiomerically pure reagents into useful products that can immediately be applied in their designed purpose. This was demonstrated by using some of the mechanochem. prepd. reagents as organocatalysts in a model Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction and as cyanide ion sensors in org. solvents. The use of electronically and sterically hindered ortho-phenylenediamine revealed that mechanochem. reaction conditions can be readily optimized to form either the 1:1 or the 1:2 click-coupling product, demonstrating that reaction stoichiometry can be more efficiently controlled under these conditions than in soln.-based syntheses. In this way, it was shown that excellent stoichiometric control by mechanochem., previously established for mechanochem. syntheses of cocrystals and coordination polymers, can also be achieved in the context of covalent-bond formation.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The authors disclose a new pathway for the design of dapsone co-crystals exploring the formation of N-H···O/N interactions using amide and pyridinic derivs. as potential co-formers. Two new co-crystals of dapsone, a sulfonamide antibiotic, with ε-caprolactam and 4,4'-bipyridine were synthesized preferentially by traditional soln. techniques, but mechanochem. also was addressed. The full structural characterization of these forms is discussed and shows that: (a) in the co-crystal with ε-caprolactam the typical NNH2···OSO2 interactions of dapsone mols. and the cages formed between them are disrupted by a new NNH2···OCONH interaction, in which ε-caprolactam mols. further form amide···amide R22(8) synthons and (b) in the co-crystal with 4,4'-bipyridine, the NNH2···OSO2 interactions between dapsone mols. are maintained and addnl. NNH2···Npyridine interactions are responsible for the formation of 4,4'-bipyridine channels between dapsone cages. Also, the thermal stability of these co-crystals is also discussed, showing that the co-formers leave the structure and hence the reported melting corresponds to the melting of pure dapsone.

The expts. have been carried out with a com. medication contg. ibuprofen ((RS)-2-(4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl)propanoic acid) which has been submitted to prolonged milling up to 40 h. When Al(OH)3 is used as co-reagent, the first degrdn. step induced by the mechanochem. treatment is an acid-base reaction with the ibuprofen carboxylic acid group. The subsequent degrdn. follows a complex pathway leading to 1-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethanone, 1-isobutyl-4-vinylbenzene and 2-(4-(3-methylbutan-2-yl)phenyl)propan-1-ol after 10 h milling and, in addn., 1-(4-acetylphenyl)-2-methylpropan-1-one, 1-(4-(1-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)phenyl)ethanone and 1-(4-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)phenyl)ethanone after 40 h milling. The degrdn. reaction path and products have been identified by means of FT-IR spectroscopy, thin layer chromatog., NMR spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy and elemental anal. The obsd. ibuprofen decarboxylation makes the drug simultaneously lose both its pharmaceutical activity and toxicity.

Mechanochem. has emerged as an excellent exptl. approach to rapidly and efficiently screen for and synthesize such pharmaceutical materials. This is particularly the case for pharmaceutical cocrystals which are of considerable interest in the area of modern solid-state pharmaceutical materials science. Mechanochem. has also been demonstrated as a successful technique to screen and synthesize metal-org. pharmaceutical derivs. (herein addressed as metallopharmaceuticals) as well as metallodrugs. The quant. yields and high crystallinity of products obtained via mechanochem. synthesis enables the efficient coupling of solvent-free screening and structure detn. from powder X-ray diffraction data to provide rapid advances in systematic studies and the structural understanding of pharmaceutical forms based on hydrogen bonding interactions or coordination bonds. In this review, we describe how mechanochem. methods have improved the development of new solid forms and their structural understanding, as well as the development of supramol. strategies for the crystal engineering of pharmaceutical solid forms.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Avoiding the use of solvents in synthesis can reduce environmental contamination and even be more convenient than using solvent-based synthesis. In this tutorial review the authors focus on recent research into the use of mechanochem. (grinding) to synthesize metal complex in the absence of solvent. The authors include synthesis of mononuclear complex, coordination clusters, spacious coordination cages, and 1-, 2- and 3-dimensional coordination polymers (metal org. frameworks) which can even exhibit microporosity. Remarkably, in many cases, mechanochem. synthesis is actually faster and more convenient than the original solvent-based methods. Examples of solvent-free methods other than grinding are also briefly discussed, and the pos. outlook for this growing topic is emphasized.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Mechanochem. reactions effected by milling or grinding are an attractive means to conduct chem. reactions dependent on mol. recognition and to systematically explore different modes of mol. self-assembly. The natural relation between milling mechanochem. and supramol. chem. arises primarily from the ability to avoid bulk solvent, which simultaneously avoids limitations of soln.-based chem., such as soly., solvent complexation, or solvolysis, and makes the resulting process highly environmentally friendly. This tutorial review highlights the use of mechanochem. for the synthesis of supramol. targets in the solid state, such as mol. hydrogen- or halogen-bonded complexes, mol. and supramol. cages, open frameworks and interlocked architectures. Also the mol. self-assembly phenomena that are well-established in soln. chem., such as reversible binding through covalent or non-covalent bonds, thermodn. equilibration and structure templating, are also accessible in milling mechanochem. through recently developed highly efficient methodologies such as liq.-assisted grinding (LAG) or ion- and liq.-assisted grinding (ILAG). Also highlighted are the new opportunities arising from the marriage of concepts of supramol. and mechanochem. synthesis, including organocatalysis, deracemization and discovery of new mol. recognition motifs.

(American Chemical Society)Despite the great interest that cocrystals are currently gaining for their application to the design of new supramol. structures with desired functional properties, studies concerning new exptl. strategies capable of controlling polymorphism phenomena of a given system are scarcely reported. We propose herein the use of polymer-assisted grinding (POLAG) as a new method for the selective control of the product polymorphic form in a mechanochem. cocrystn. reaction. Specifically, to the model system selected in this study formed by caffeine and glutaric acid, we demonstrate that the polymorphic outcome can be controlled by modifying the no. of monomer units of the catalyst from the shortest dimer to a polymer with chains of approx. 1000 units. The characteristics of each polymorphic form were investigated by low-dose high-resoln. TEM, and the mechanistic aspects of the cocrystal formation were studied through a series of ex situ and interconversion expts. The results suggest that for this system the modification of the catalyst chain length and, consequently, modification of polarity drives cocrystal formation toward the more stable polymorph. The approach proposed in this paper can be readily applied to each system, where polarity is the main issue for polymorph control without the risk of solvate formation. - 59Hasa, D.; Rauber, G.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Mechanochem. is an effective method for the prepn. of multicomponent crystal systems. In the present work, we propose an alternative to the established liq.-assisted grinding (LAG) approach. Polymer-assisted grinding (POLAG) is demonstrated to provide a new class of catalysts for improving reaction rate and increasing product diversity during mechanochem. cocrystn. reactions. We demonstrate that POLAG provides advantages comparable to the conventional liq.-assisted process, while eliminating the risk of unwanted solvate formation as well as enabling control of resulting particle size. It represents a new approach for the development of functional materials through mechanochem., and possibly opens new routes toward the understanding of the mechanisms and pathways of mechanochem. cocrystal formation.

The quinolones are a group of synthetic antibacterial agents structurally related to nalidixic acid. The absorption of quinolone drugs is lowered when they are consumed simultaneously with Mg or Al antacids. Many other ions found in pharmaceuticals cause similar effect. The proposed reason for such behavior is the chelate bonding of the quinolone to the metal.

Their structures were detd. by single-crystal x-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, and thermogravimetric analyses. The structures of 1 and 2 consist of unique two-dimensional arm-shaped layers. Compds. 3 and 4 are isostructural and feature 1-dimensional structures formed from the interconnection of [M2(cfH)2(H2O)2] dimers with bptc ligands. Compds. 5-7 are isostructural and contain double-chain-like ribbons constructed from [M2(cfH)2(CO2)2] dimers and 1,3-bdc. Compd. 8 consists of a pair of [Zn(cfH)2]2+ fragments bridged by a 1,4-bdc into a dinuclear dumbbell structure. Compd. 9 is a neutral monomeric complex. To the best of the authors' knowledge, compds. 1-9 are the first examples of metal-quinolone complexes that contain arom. polycarboxylate ligands. Compds. 10-14 are isostructural and exhibit interesting two-dimensional rhombic grids featuring large cavities with dimensions of 13.6 × 13.6 Å. Polymeric extended metal-cfH complexes have never been reported.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Antibiotic resistance is a global public health concern. The choline-based ionic liqs. (ILs) have raised particular attention in the design of "greener" ILs and can exert a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial activity. To improve antimicrobial chemotherapy, the authors herein tested the antimicrobial activity and toxicity of a wide range of choline-based ILs. Two series of compds. were synthesized -dimethylethanolamine monoquaternary ammonium salts (Series A) and -Me diethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine monoquaternary ammonium salts (Series B). The antimicrobial screening revealed that compds. N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyl-1-tetradecanaminium bromide ([N1,1,14,2(OH)]Br), N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyl-1-hexadecanaminium bromide ([N1,1,16,2(OH)]Br) and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyl-1-octadecanaminium bromide ([N1,1,18,2(OH)]Br) are potent antimicrobial agents. The presence of a hydroxyethyl group and as mention previously in the literature, the C14 to C16 linker in a choline compd. improves the antimicrobial activity and lowers the cytotoxic properties of this class of compds.
