Thiazine-derived compounds in inhibiting efflux pump in Staphylococcus aureus K2068, mepA gene expression, and membrane permeability alteration

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium responsible for resistance to multiple drugs and the efflux system is widely studied among the resistance mechanisms developed by this species. The present study evaluates the inhibition of the MepA efflux pump by thiadiazine-derived compounds. For this purpose, thiadiazine-derived compounds (IJ-14 to IJ-20) were tested against S. aureus K2068 strains. Microdilution tests were initially conducted to assess the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the compounds and their efflux pump inhibition activity. In addition, fluorimetry tests were performed using BrEt emission and tests were conducted to inhibit the expression of the mepA gene. This involved comparing the bacterial gene expression with the antibiotic alone to the gene expression after combining compounds (IJ-17 and IJ-20) with the antibiotic. Furthermore, membrane permeability assessment tests and in silico molecular docking tests were performed. It was observed that the IJ17 and IJ20 compounds exhibited direct activity against the tested strain. The IJ17 compound produced significant results in the gene inhibition tests, which was also evidenced through the membrane permeability alteration test. These findings suggest that thiadiazine-derived compounds have promising effects against one of the main resistance mechanisms, with the IJ17 compound presenting observable mechanisms of action.

Recent developments of natural antimicrobials and antioxidants on fish and fishery food products

Fish and fishery products (FFP) are highly perishable due to their high nutritional value and moisture content. The spoilage is mainly caused by microorganisms and chemical reactions, especially lipid oxidation, leading to losses in quality and market value. Microbiological and lipid deteriorations of fishery-derived products directly lower their nutritive value and pose the risk of toxicity for human health. Increasing demand for safe FFP brings about the preservation using additives from natural origins without chemical additives due to their safety and strict regulation. Antimicrobials and antioxidants from natural sources have exhibited an excellent control over the growth of microorganisms causing fish spoilage via different mechanisms. They also play a major role in retarding lipid oxidation by acting at various stages of oxidation. Antimicrobials and antioxidants from natural sources are usually regarded as safe with no detrimental effects on the quality attributes of FFP. This review provides recent literature on the different antioxidant and antimicrobial agents from natural sources, focusing on microbial and oxidative spoilage mechanisms, their inhibition system, and their applications to retard spoilage, maintain safety, and extend the shelf life of FFP. Their applications and benefits have been revisited.

Design and synthesis of pyrido[2,1-b][1,3,5]thiadiazine library via uncatalyzed Mannich-type reaction

This Research Article describes the synthesis of an over 700-member library of (8R/8S)-3-R-8-aryl-6-oxo-3,4,7,8-tetrahydro-2H,6H-pyrido[2,1-b][1,3,5]thiadiazin-9-carbonitriles by uncatalyzed Mannich-type reaction of N-methylmorpholinium (4R/4S)-4-aryl-3-cyano-6-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-2-thiolates with a set of primary amines and excessive HCHO. The scope and limitations of the reaction were studied. Starting thiolates were obtained in yields of 53-82% by multicomponent reaction of aromatic aldehydes, cyanothioacetamide, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (Meldrum's acid), and N-methylmorpholine, followed by heterocyclization of the resulting Michael adducts.
