Abstract
There is a significant need for new antibacterial agents as pathogenic bacteria continue to threaten human health through the acquisition of resistance and tolerance towards existing antibiotics. Over the last several years, our group has been developing a novel series of halogenated phenazines that demonstrate potent antibacterial and biofilm eradication activities against critical Gram-positive pathogens, including: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Enterococcus faecium. Here, we report the design, chemical synthesis and initial biological assessment of a halogenated phenazine-erythromycin conjugate prodrug 5 aimed at enhancing the translational potential for halogenated phenazines as a treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Two series of novel 4″-O-aralkylacetylhydrazineacyl azithromycin derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activities. Among them, compound B4, B5, B13 and B18 were found to display significantly improved activity than control drugs (MIC > 128 μg/mL) against methicillin-resistant strain S. aureus ATCC 43,300 with an MIC value 2-4 μg/mL. Remarkably, compound B5 and B13 showed potent activity against penicillin-resistant S. aureus ATCC31007 (MIC = 4 μg/mL) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus ATCC 43,300 (MIC = 2 μg/mL).

Abstract
Constitutively erythromycin-resistant apathogens are more difficult to address than inducibly resistant and efflux-resistant strains. Three series of the 4th generation 2-fluoro 9-oxime erythromycin ketolides were synthesized and evaluated. Incorporation of substituted heteroaryl groups (a - m), in contrast to previously reported the unsubstituted heteroaryl groups, proved to the beneficial for enhancement of the activities of the 9-propgargyl ketolide 8 series and the 9-allyl ketolide 14 series. But these aryl groups (a - m) cannot supply the resulting compounds 8 and 14, unlike corresponding the 6-allyl ketolide 20 series, with activity against constitutively resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. However, hybrids of macrolides and quinolones (8, 14 and 20, Ar = n - t) exhibited not only high activities against susceptible, inducibly erm-mediated resistant, and efflux-mediated resistant strains, but also significantly improved potencies against constitutively resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes. The capacity was highlighted by introduction of newly designed carbamoyl quinolones (q, r, s and t) rather than commonly seen carboxy quinolones (o and p) as the pharmacophores. Structure-activity relationships and molecular modelling indicated that 8r, 14r and 20q may have different binding sites compared to current erythromycins. Moreover, 8r, 14r and 20q have 2.5-3.6 times prolonged half-life and 2.3- to 2.6-fold longer mean residence time in vivo over telithromycin. These findings pave the way for rational design of novel non-telithromycin macrolides that target new binding sites within bacterial ribosomes.

Abstract
New methods for preparation of tailor-made fluorine-containing compounds are in extremely high demand in nearly every sector of chemical industry. The asymmetric construction of quaternary C-F stereogenic centers is the most synthetically challenging and, consequently, the least developed area of research. As a reflection of this apparent methodological deficit, pharmaceutical drugs featuring C-F stereogenic centers constitute less than 1% of all fluorine-containing medicines currently on the market or in clinical development. Here we provide a comprehensive review of current research activity in this area, including such general directions as asymmetric electrophilic fluorination via organocatalytic and transition-metal catalyzed reactions, asymmetric elaboration of fluorine-containing substrates via alkylations, Mannich, Michael, and aldol additions, cross-coupling reactions, and biocatalytic approaches.
