Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pressing global issue exacerbated by the abuse of antibiotics and the formation of bacterial biofilms, which cause up to 80% of human bacterial infections. This study presents a computational strategy to address AMR by developing three novel quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models based on molecular topology to identify potential anti-biofilm and antibacterial agents. The models aim to determine the chemo-topological pattern of Gram (+) antibacterial, Gram (-) antibacterial, and biofilm formation inhibition activity. The models were applied to the virtual screening of a commercial chemical database, resulting in the selection of 58 compounds. Subsequent in vitro assays showed that three of these compounds exhibited the most promising antibacterial activity, with potential applications in enhancing food and medical device safety.

Abstract
The swift emergence and propagation of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens constitute a tremendous global health crisis. Among these pathogens, the challenge of antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria is particularly pressing due to their distinctive structure, such as highly impermeable outer membrane, overexpressed efflux pumps, and mutations. Several strategies have been documented to combat MDR Gram-negative bacteria, including the structural modification of existing antibiotics, the development of antimicrobial adjuvants, and research on novel targets that MDR bacteria are sensitive to. Drugs functioning as adjuvants to mitigate resistance to existing antibiotics may play a pivotal role in future antibacterial therapy strategies. In this review, we provide a brief overview of potential antibacterial adjuvants against Gram-negative bacteria and their mechanisms of action, and discuss the application prospects and potential for bacterial resistance to these adjuvants, along with strategies to reduce this risk.

Abstract
One new 2,5-DKP derivative O-dihydroxycyclopenol (1) and seven known congeners 2-8 were isolated from the marine fungus Penicillium sp. ZJUT-34 cultured on rice medium. The planar structure of 1 was established by extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS, while the relative configuration of 1 was determined by quantum chemical calculation. In the QS inhibitory assay, 1 significantly inhibited the production of violacein in Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC12472 (20.65%) at a concentration of 6.25 μg/mL without affecting the growth of the strain, as compared with norharmane (22.14%), a quorum sensing inhibitor (QSI) identified in our previous study. It represented the first report on the QS inhibitory activity of the seven-membered 2,5-DKPs. In addition, compounds 1-8 were subjected to antibacterial assay against six pathogenic bacteria Compound 8 exhibited comparable antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis FA2-2 (MIC = 96 μg/mL) with the positive control gentamicin (MIC = 80 μg/mL).

Abstract
In the era of antiretroviral therapy, the prevalence of Cryptococcal infection among HIV patients in developed countries has decreased considerably. However, C. neoformans ranks top among the critical priority pathogen that affects a wide range of immunocompromised individuals. The threat of C. neoformans is because of its incredibly multifaceted intracellular survival capabilities. Cell membrane sterols especially ergosterol and enzymes of its biosynthetic pathway are considered fascinating drug targets because of their structural stability. In this study, the ergosterol biosynthetic enzymes were modeled and docked with furanone derivatives. Among the tested ligands Compound 6 has shown a potential interaction with Lanosterol 14 α-demethylase. This best-docked protein-ligand complex was taken further to molecular dynamics simulation. In addition, Compound 6 was synthesized and an in vitro study was conducted to quantify the ergosterol in Compound 6 treated cells. Altogether the computational and in vitro study demonstrates that Compound 6 has anticryptococcal activity by targeting the biosynthetic pathway of ergosterol.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The prevention or control of bacterial infections requires continuous search for novel approaches among which bacterial quorum sensing inhibition is considered as a complementary antibacterial strategy. Quorum sensing, used by many different bacteria, functions through a cell-to-cell communication mechanism relying on chemical signals, referred to as autoinducers, such as N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) which are the most common chemical signals in this system. Designing analogs of these autoinducers is one of the possible ways to interfere with quorum sensing. Since bioisosteres are powerful tools in medicinal chemistry, targeting analogs of AHLs or other signal molecules and mimics of known QS modulators built on amide bond bioisosteres is a relevant strategy in molecular design and synthetic routes. This review highlights the application of amide bond bioisosteric replacement in the design and synthesis of novel quorum sensing inhibitors.

Abstract
The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa controls almost 10% of its genome, including myriad virulence genes, via a cell-to-cell chemical communication system called quorum sensing (QS). Small molecules that either inhibit or activate QS in P. aeruginosa represent useful research tools to study the role of this signaling pathway in infection and interrogate its viability as an antivirulence target. However, despite active research in this area over the past 20+ years, there are relatively few synthetic compounds known to strongly inhibit or activate QS in P. aeruginosa. Most reported QS modulators in this pathogen are of low potency or have structural liabilities that limit their application in biologically relevant environments such as mimics of the native N-acyl l-homoserine lactone (AHL) signals. Here, we report the results of a high-throughput screen for abiotic small molecules that target LasR, a key QS regulator in P. aeruginosa. We screened a 25,000-compound library and discovered four new structural classes of abiotic LasR modulators. These compounds include antagonists that surpass the potency of all known AHL-type compounds and mimetics thereof, along with an agonist with potency approaching that of LasR's native ligand. The novel structures of this compound set, along with their anticipated robust physicochemical profiles, underscore their potential value as probe molecules to interrogate the roles of QS in this formidable pathogen.

Abstract
Healthcare settings have dramatically advanced the latest medical devices, such as urinary catheters (UC) for infection, prevention, and control (IPC). The continuous or intermittent flow of a warm and conducive (urine) medium in the medical device, the urinary catheter, promotes the formation of biofilms and encrustations, thereby leading to the incidence of CAUTI. Additionally, the absence of an innate immune host response in and around the lumen of the catheter reduces microbial phagocytosis and drug action. Hence, the review comprehensively overviews the challenges posed by CAUTI and associated risks in patients' morbidity and mortality. Also, detailed, up-to-date information on the various strategies that blended/tailored the surface properties of UC to have anti-fouling, biocidal, and anti-adhesive properties to provide an outlook on how they can be better managed with futuristic solutions.

Abstract
The title of this essay is as much a question as it is a statement. The discovery of the β-lactam antibiotics-including penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems-as largely (if not exclusively) secondary metabolites of terrestrial fungi and bacteria, transformed modern medicine. The antibiotic β-lactams inactivate essential enzymes of bacterial cell-wall biosynthesis. Moreover, the ability of the β-lactams to function as enzyme inhibitors is of such great medical value, that inhibitors of the enzymes which degrade hydrolytically the β-lactams, the β-lactamases, have equal value. Given this privileged status for the β-lactam ring, it is therefore a disappointment that the exemplification of this ring in marine secondary metabolites is sparse. It may be that biologically active marine β-lactams are there, and simply have yet to be encountered. In this report, we posit a second explanation: that the value of the β-lactam to secure an ecological advantage in the marine environment might be compromised by its close structural similarity to the β-lactones of quorum sensing. The steric and reactivity similarities between the β-lactams and the β-lactones represent an outside-of-the-box opportunity for correlating new structures and new enzyme targets for the discovery of compelling biological activities.

Abstract
The development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics and the consequent lack of effective therapy is one of the biggest problems in modern medicine. A consequence of these processes is an urgent need to continuously design and develop novel antimicrobial agents. Among the compounds showing antimicrobial potential, lactones are a group to explore. For centuries, their antimicrobial activities have been used in folk medicine. Currently, novel lactone compounds are continuously described in the literature. Some of those structures exhibit high antimicrobial potential and some are an inspiration for design and synthesis of future drugs. This paper describes recent developments on antimicrobial lactones with smaller ring sizes, up to seven membered ε-lactones. Their isolation from natural sources, chemical synthesis, synergistic activity with antibiotics, and effects on quorum sensing are presented herein.

Abstract
Aim: To investigate the hypothesis that zeolites interfere with quorum-sensing (QS) systems of Chromobacterium violaceum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by adsorbing N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) signal molecules. Methods: QS inhibition by zeolite 4A was investigated using an AHL-based bioreporter assay. The adsorption of the AHLs was evaluated by performing inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy and confirmed by Monte Carlo and molecular dynamic simulations. Results: Zeolite 4A reduced the violacein production in C. violaceum by over 90% and the biofilm formation, elastase and pyocyanin production in P. aeruginosa by 87, 68 and 98%, respectively. Conclusion: Zeolite 4A disrupts the QS systems of C. violaceum and P. aeruginosa by means of adsorbing 3-oxo-C6-AHL and 3-oxo-C12-AHL signaling molecules and can be developed as a novel QS jammer to combat P. aeruginosa-related infections.

Abstract
Pyrazole has been recognized as a pharmacologically important privileged scaffold whose derivatives produce almost all types of pharmacological activities and have attracted much attention in the last decades. Of the various pyrazole derivatives reported as potential therapeutic agents, this article focuses on pyrazole-based kinase inhibitors. Pyrazole-possessing kinase inhibitors play a crucial role in various disease areas, especially in many cancer types such as lymphoma, breast cancer, melanoma, cervical cancer, and others in addition to inflammation and neurodegenerative disorders. In this article, we reviewed the structural and biological characteristics of the pyrazole derivatives recently reported as kinase inhibitors and classified them according to their target kinases in a chronological order. We reviewed the reports including pyrazole derivatives as kinase inhibitors published during the past decade (2011-2020).

Abstract
N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are small signaling molecules used by many Gram-negative bacteria for coordinating their behavior as a function of their population density. This process, based on the biosynthesis and the sensing of such molecular signals, and referred to as Quorum Sensing (QS), regulates various gene expressions, including growth, virulence, biofilms formation, and toxin production. Considering the role of QS in bacterial pathogenicity, its modulation appears as a possible complementary approach in antibacterial strategies. Analogues and mimics of AHLs are therefore biologically relevant targets, including several families in which heterocyclic chemistry provides a strategic contribution in the molecular design and the synthetic approach. AHLs consist of three main sections, the homoserine lactone ring, the central amide group, and the side chain, which can vary in length and level of oxygenation. The purpose of this review is to summarize the contribution of heterocyclic chemistry in the design of AHLs analogues, insisting on the way heterocyclic building blocks can serve as replacements of the lactone moiety, as a bioisostere for the amide group, or as an additional pattern appended to the side chain. A few non-AHL-related heterocyclic compounds with AHL-like QS activity are also mentioned.
