Abstract
Mannich bases (8 examples) were synthesized via aminomethylation of fusidane propargyl esters. In vitro antimicrobial screening against key ESKAPE pathogens showed that the fusidic acid based Mannich products exhibit a high antimicrobial effect against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. Moreover, the cytotoxic effect of fusidic acid and its analogs, which showed high antibacterial activity, was determined by MTT assay on cancer HepG2, HCT-116, SH-SY5Y, MCF-7, A549 and conditionally normal cells HEK293. A remarkable cytotoxic activity of fusidic acid propargyl ester and its aminomethylene derivatives against cancer and nontumoral HEK293 cells with IC50 values within 4.2-25 µM was found.

Abstract
The paper assesses the membranotropic action of the natural antibiotic fusidic acid (FA) and its derivatives. It was found that a FA analogue with ethylenediamine moiety (derivative 2), in contrast to native FA and 3,11-dioxime analogue (derivative 1), is able to increase the mobility of the lipid bilayer in the zone of lipid headgroups, as well as to induce permeabilization of lecithin liposome membranes. A similar effect of derivative 2 is also observed in the case of rat liver mitochondrial membranes. We noted a decrease in the microviscosity of the mitochondrial membrane and nonspecific permeabilization of organelle membranes in the presence of this agent, which was accompanied by a decrease in mitochondrial Δψ and OXPHOS efficiency. This led to a reduction in mitochondrial calcium retention capacity. The derivatives also reduced the production of H2O2 by mitochondria. The paper considers the relationship between the structure of the tested compounds and the observed effects.

Abstract
Fusidic acid (FA) is an antibiotic with high activity against Staphylococcus aureus; it has been used in clinical practice since the 1960s. However, the narrow antimicrobial spectrum of FA limits its application in the treatment of bacterial infections. In this regard, this work aims both at the study of the antimicrobial effect of a number of FA amines and at the identification of their potential biological targets. In this way, FA analogues containing aliphatic and aromatic amino groups and biogenic polyamine, spermine and spermidine, moieties at the C-3 atom, were synthesized (20 examples). Pyrazinecarboxamide-substituted analogues exhibit a high antibacterial activity against S. aureus (MRSA) with MIC ≤ 0.25 μg/mL. Spermine and spermidine derivatives, along with activity against S. aureus, also inhibit the growth and reproduction of Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and have a high fungicidal effect against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. The study of the membrane activity demonstrated that the spermidine- and spermine-containing compounds are able to immerse into membranes and disorder the lipidsleading to a detergent effect. Moreover, spermine-based compounds are also able to form ion-permeable pores in the lipid bilayers mimicking the bacterial membranes. Using molecular docking, inhibition of the protein synthesis elongation factor EF-G was proposed, and polyamine substituents were shown to make the greatest contribution to the stability of the complexes of fusidic acid derivatives with biological targets. This suggests that the antibacterial effect of the obtained compounds may be associated with both membrane activity and inhibition of the elongation factor EF-G.

Abstract
Fusidic acid (FA) is a natural tetracyclic triterpene isolated from fungi, which is clinically used for systemic and local staphylococcal infections, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci infections. FA and its derivatives have been shown to possess a wide range of pharmacological activities, including antibacterial, antimalarial, antituberculosis, anticancer, tumor multidrug resistance reversal, anti-inflammation, antifungal, and antiviral activity in vivo and in vitro. The semisynthesis, structural modification and biological activities of FA derivatives have been extensively studied in recent years. This review summarized the biological activities and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of FA in the last two decades. This summary can prove useful information for drug exploration of FA derivatives.

Abstract
Aim: Fusidic acid (FA) is a narrow-spectrum bacteriostatic antibiotic. We inadvertently discovered that a FA derivative modified by an amino-terminal group at the 3-OH position, namely 2, inhibited the growth of Cryptococcus neoformans. Methods & results: Multiscale molecular modeling approaches were used to analyze the binding modes of 2 with eEF2. FA derivatives modified at the 3-OH position were designed based on in silico models; seven derivatives possessing different amino-terminal groups were synthesized and tested in vitro for antifungal activity against C. neoformans. Conclusion: Compound 7 had the strongest minimum inhibitory concentration. Two protonated nitrogen atoms of 7 interacted with a negative electrostatic pocket of eEF2 likely explain the superiority of 7-2.
