Abstract
Carbohydrates, one of the most abundant biomolecules found in nature, have been seen traditionally as a dietary component of foods. Recent findings, however, have unveiled their medicinal potential in the form of carbohydrates-derived drugs. Their remarkable structural diversity, high optical purity, bioavailability, low toxicity and the presence of multiple functional groups have positioned them as a valuable scaffold and an exciting frontier in contemporary therapeutics. At present, more than 170 carbohydrates-based therapeutics have been granted approval by varying regulatory agencies such as United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). This article explores an overview of the fascinating potential and impact of carbohydrate-derived compounds as pharmacological agents and drug delivery vehicles.

Abstract
Antibiotics belongs to a class of pharmaceutical compounds widely used due to their effectiveness against bacterial infections. However, if consumed or inappropriately disposed of in the environment can results in environmental and public health problems, because they are considered emerging contaminants and their residues represent damage, whether in the long or short term, to different terrestrial ecosystems, in addition to bringing potential risks to agricultural sectors, such as livestock and fish farming. For this, the development of analytical methods for low-concentration detection and identification of antibiotics in natural waters, wastewaters, soil, foods, and biological fluids is necessary. This review shows the applicability of square wave voltammetry for the analytical determination of antibiotics from different chemical classes and covers a variety of samples and working electrodes that are used as voltammetric sensors. The review involved the analysis of scientific publications from the Science Direct® and Scopus® databases, with scientific manuscripts covering the period between January 2012 and May 2023. Various manuscripts were discussed indicating the applicability of square wave voltammetry in antibiotics detection in urine, blood, natural waters, milk, among other complex samples.

Abstract
Covering: up to 2022Streptomyces are ubiquitous in terrestrial and marine environments, where they display a fascinating metabolic diversity. As a result, these bacteria are a prolific source of active natural products. One important class of these natural products is the nonribosomal lipopeptides, which have diverse biological activities and play important roles in the lifestyle of Streptomyces. The importance of this class is highlighted by the use of related antibiotics in the clinic, such as daptomycin (tradename Cubicin). By virtue of recent advances spanning chemistry and biology, significant progress has been made in biosynthetic studies on the lipopeptide antibiotics produced by Streptomyces. This review will serve as a comprehensive guide for researchers working in this multidisciplinary field, providing a summary of recent progress regarding the investigation of lipopeptides from Streptomyces. In particular, we highlight the structures, properties, biosynthetic mechanisms, chemical and chemoenzymatic synthesis, and biological functions of lipopeptides. In addition, the application of genome mining techniques to Streptomyces that have led to the discovery of many novel lipopeptides is discussed, further demonstrating the potential of lipopeptides from Streptomyces for future development in modern medicine.

Abstract
New inhibitors of the bacterial transferase MraY from Aquifex aeolicus (MraYAA), based on the aminoribosyl uridine central core of known natural MraY inhibitors, have been designed to generate interaction of their oxadiazole linker with the key amino acids (H324 or H325) of the enzyme active site, as observed for the highly potent inhibitors carbacaprazamycin, muraymycin D2 and tunicamycin. A panel of ten compounds was synthetized notably thanks to a robust microwave-activated one-step sequence for the synthesis of the oxadiazole ring that involved the O-acylation of an amidoxime and subsequent cyclization. The synthetized compounds, with various hydrophobic substituents on the oxadiazole ring, were tested against the MraYAA transferase activity. Although with poor antibacterial activity, nine out of the ten compounds revealed the inhibition of the MraYAA activity in the range of 0.8 µM to 27.5 µM.

Abstract
New inhibitors of the bacterial tranferase MraY are described. Their structure is based on an aminoribosyl uridine scaffold, which is known to be important for the biological activity of natural MraY inhibitors. A decyl alkyl chain was introduced onto this scaffold through various linkers. The synthesized compounds were tested against the MraYAA transferase activity, and the most active compound with an original (S,S)-tartaric diamide linker inhibits MraY activity with an IC50 equal to 0.37 µM. Their antibacterial activity was also evaluated on a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains; however, the compounds showed no antibacterial activity. Docking and molecular dynamics studies revealed that this new linker established two stabilizing key interactions with N190 and H325, as observed for the highly potent inhibitors carbacaprazamycin, muraymycin D2 and tunicamycin.

Abstract
In the present study, we generated a ligand-based scaffold model from a known bioactive datasets of mur enzymes of other species to identify multi-targeting inhibitors as antitubercular agents. Compounds in the ChEMBL database were first filtered to screen for substructure molecules ofMtb's multi-target enzymes. 5'-O-(5-Amino-5-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)uridine has been identified as scaffold to develop compounds targeting Mtb's mur enzymes. A library of Murcko scaffolds was extracted and evaluated for their in-silico antitubercular activity against Mtb's mur enzymes. The screened compounds were subjected to molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, MM/PBSA calculation with Mtb's mur enzymes to evaluate the mechanism of interaction to assess inhibitory activity against the target protein. The results revealed that 15 compounds have higher docking scores and good interactions with multiple mur enzymes of Mtb. From the docking analysis, compound HPT had the best score and binding affinity with the all mur enzymes. Further, protein-ligand interactions were evaluated by molecular dynamics simulations to assess their stability throughout 100 ns period. From the MD trajectory, we calculated RMSD, RMSF, Rg, PCA, DCCM, FEL, hydrogen bonding, and vector motion. Furthermore, the binding free energies of the all nine mur enzymes with compound HPT exhibited good binding affinity might show the anti-mycobacterial activity. The compound HPT revealed from this computational study could act as potent anti-mycobacterial inhibitors and further serve as lead scaffolds to develop more potent pharmaceutical molecules targeting multiple mur enzymes of Mtb based on 5'-O-(5-Amino-5-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)uridine in the future.

Abstract
The straightforward synthesis of aminoribosyl uridines substituted by a 5'-methylene-urea is described. Their convergent synthesis involves the urea formation from various activated amides and an azidoribosyl uridine substituted at the 5' position by an aminomethyl group. This common intermediate resulted from the diastereoselective glycosylation of a phthalimido uridine derivative with a ribosyl fluoride as a ribosyl donor. The inhibition of the MraY transferase activity by the synthetized 11 urea-containing inhibitors was evaluated and 10 compounds revealed MraY inhibition with IC50 ranging from 1.9 μM to 16.7 μM. Their antibacterial activity was also evaluated on a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Four compounds exhibited a good activity against Gram-positive bacterial pathogens with MIC ranging from 8 to 32 μg mL-1, including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Enterococcus faecium. Interestingly, one compound also revealed antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with MIC equal to 64 μg mL-1. Docking experiments predicted two modes of positioning of the active compounds urea chain in different hydrophobic areas (HS2 and HS4) within the MraY active site from Aquifex aeolicus. However, molecular dynamics simulations showed that the urea chain adopts a binding mode similar to that observed in structural model and targets the hydrophobic area HS2.

Abstract
The biological diversity of the unicellular bacteria-whether assessed by shape, food, metabolism, or ecological niche-surely rivals (if not exceeds) that of the multicellular eukaryotes. The relationship between bacteria whose ecological niche is the eukaryote, and the eukaryote, is often symbiosis or stasis. Some bacteria, however, seek advantage in this relationship. One of the most successful-to the disadvantage of the eukaryote-is the small (less than 1 μm diameter) and nearly spherical Staphylococcus aureus bacterium. For decades, successful clinical control of its infection has been accomplished using β-lactam antibiotics such as the penicillins and the cephalosporins. Over these same decades S. aureus has perfected resistance mechanisms against these antibiotics, which are then countered by new generations of β-lactam structure. This review addresses the current breadth of biochemical and microbiological efforts to preserve the future of the β-lactam antibiotics through a better understanding of how S. aureus protects the enzyme targets of the β-lactams, the penicillin-binding proteins. The penicillin-binding proteins are essential enzyme catalysts for the biosynthesis of the cell wall, and understanding how this cell wall is integrated into the protective cell envelope of the bacterium may identify new antibacterials and new adjuvants that preserve the efficacy of the β-lactams.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance poses an increasing threat to global health, and it is urgent to reverse the present trend by accelerating development of new natural product derived drugs. Nucleoside antibiotics, a valuable family of promising natural products with remarkable structural features and diverse biological activities, have played significant roles in healthcare and for plant protection. Understanding the biosynthesis of these intricate molecules has provided a foundation for bioengineering the microbial cell factory towards yield enhancement and structural diversification. In this review, we summarize the recent progresses in employing synthetic biology-based strategies to improve the production of target nucleoside antibiotics. Moreover, we delineate the advances on rationally accessing the chemical diversities of natural nucleoside antibiotics.

Abstract
Nucleoside derivatives, in particular those featuring uridine, are familiar components of the nucleoside family of bioactive natural products. The structural complexity and biological activities of these compounds have inspired research from organic chemistry and chemical biology communities seeking to develop novel approaches to assemble the challenging molecular targets, to gain inspiration for enzyme inhibitor development and to fuel antibiotic discovery efforts. This review will present recent case studies describing the total synthesis and biosynthesis of uridine natural products, and de novo synthetic efforts exploiting features of the natural products to produce simplified scaffolds. This research has culminated in the development of complementary strategies that can lead to effective uridine-based inhibitors and antibiotics. The strengths and challenges of the juxtaposing methods will be illustrated by examining select uridine natural products. Moreover, structure-activity relationships (SAR) for each natural product-inspired scaffold will be discussed, highlighting the impact on inhibitor development, with the aim of future uridine-based small molecule expansion.

Abstract
The present status of antibiotic research requires the urgent invention of novel agents that act on multidrug-resistant bacteria. The World Health Organization has classified antibiotic-resistant bacteria into critical, high and medium priority according to the urgency of need for new antibiotics. Naturally occurring uridine-derived "nucleoside antibiotics" have shown promising activity against numerous priority resistant organisms by inhibiting the transmembrane protein MraY (translocase I), which is yet to be explored in a clinical context. The catalytic activity of MraY is an essential process for bacterial cell viability and growth including that of priority organisms. Muraymycins are one subclass of naturally occurring MraY inhibitors. Despite having potent antibiotic properties, the structural complexity of muraymycins advocates for simplified analogues as potential lead structures. Herein, we report a systematic structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of serine template-linked, simplified muraymycin-type analogues. This preliminary SAR lead study of serine template analogues successfully revealed that the complex structure of naturally occurring muraymycins could be easily simplified to afford bioactive scaffolds against resistant priority organisms. This study will pave the way for the development of novel antibacterial lead compounds based on a simplified serine template.
