Abstract
A synthetic protocol for the preparation of α-acyl aminocarboxamides and α-amino amidines is proposed. The selectivity toward each of these two possible products was tuned by simple modifications of the reaction conditions. A broad scope is presented, allowing access to the desired products in up to 87% (Ugi adduct) and 93% (α-amino amidine). Theoretical calculations were carried out, and the analysis led to the proposal of a new mechanistic pathway for the Ugi reaction, in which methanol acts not only as the solvent but also as a reagent. High-resolution (tandem) mass spectrometry experiments allowed the detection and characterization of the key intermediate associated with this new and alternative reaction pathway, thus supporting the theoretical proposal.

Abstract
This work presents the successful synthesis of a library of novel peptidomimetics via Ugi multicomponent reaction. Most of these peptidomimetics contain differently substituted aminocoumarin; 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin and 7-amino-4-(trifluoromethyl) coumarin. Inspired by the biological properties of coumarin derivatives and peptidomimetics, we proposed the synthesis of coumarin incorporated peptidomimetics. We studied the potential of synthesized compounds as antimicrobial drugs on model E. coli bacterial strains (k12 and R2–R4). To highlight the importance of coumarin in antimicrobial resistance, we also synthesized the structurally similar peptidomimetics, using benzylamine. Preliminary cellular studies suggest that the compounds with coumarin derivatives have more potential as antimicrobial agents compared to the compounds without coumarin. We also analyzed the effect of aldehyde, free acid group and ester group on the course of their antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
A preliminary study of α-amidoamids as new potential antimicrobial drugs was performed. Special emphasis was placed on selection of structure of α-amidoamids with the highest biological activity against different types of Gram-stained bacteria by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Herein, Escherichia coli model strains K12 (without LPS in its structure) and R1-R4 (with different length LPS in its structure) were used. The presented work showed that the antibacterial activity of α-amidoamids depends on their structure and affects the LPS of bacteria. Moreover, the influence of various newly synthesized α-amidoamids on bacteria possessing smooth and rought LPS and oxidative damage of plasmid DNA caused by all newly obtained compounds was indicated. The presented studies clearly explain that α-amidoamids can be used as substitutes for antibiotics. The chemical and biological activity of the analysed α-amidoamids was associated with short alkyl chain and different isocyanides molecules in their structure such as: tetr-butyl isocyanide or 2,5-dimethoxybenzyl isocyanide. The observed results are especially important in the case of the increasing resistance of bacteria to various drugs and antibiotics.

Abstract
AbstractLactams are very important heterocycles as a result of their presence in a wide range of bioactive molecules, natural products and drugs, and also due their utility as versatile synthetic intermediates. Due to these reasons, numerous efforts have focused on the development of effective and efficient methods for their synthesis. Compared to conventional two-component reactions, multicomponent reactions (MCRs), particularly isocyanide-based MCRs, are widely used for the synthesis of a range of small heterocycles including lactam analogues. Despite their numerous applications in almost every field of chemistry, as yet there is no dedicated review on isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (IMCRs) concerning the synthesis of lactams. Therefore, this review presents strategies towards the synthesis of α-, β-, γ-, δ- and ε-lactams using IMCRs or IMCRs/post-transformation reactions reported in the literature between 2000 and 2020.1 Introduction2 Developments in Lactam Synthesis2.1 α-Lactams2.2 β-Lactams2.3 γ-Lactams2.3.1 General γ-Lactams2.3.2 Benzo-Fused γ-Lactams2.3.3 Spiro γ-Lactams2.3.4 α,β-Unsaturated γ-Lactams2.3.5 Polycyclic Fused γ-Lactams2.4 δ-Lactams2.5 ε-Lactams3 Conclusions

Abstract
Lipidic mesophases are versatile bioorganic materials that have been effectively employed as nanoscale matrices for membrane protein crystallization, drug delivery and as food emulsifiers over the last 30 years. In this review, the focus is upon studies that have employed non-lamellar lipid mesophases as matrices for organic, inorganic and enzymatic reactions. The ability of lipidic mesophases to incorporate hydrophilic, amphiphilic and hydrophobic molecules, together with the high interfacial area of the lipidic cubic and inverse hexagonal phases has been exploited in heterogeneous catalysis as well as for enzyme immobilization. The unique nanostructure of these mesophases is the driving force behind their ability to act as templates for synthesis, resulting in the creation of highly ordered polymeric and inorganic materials with complex geometries.

Coumarin Derivatives as New Toxic Compounds to Selected K12, R1-R4 E. coli Strains. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13112499.

Abstract
Coumarins are natural compounds that were detected in 80 species of plants. They have numerous applications including the medical, food, tobacco, perfumery, and spirit industries. They show anti-swelling and diastolic effects. However, excess consumption of coumarins may adversely affect our health, because they are easily absorbed from the intestines into the lymph and blood, causing cirrhosis of the liver. Peptidomimetics are molecules whose structure and function are similar to those of peptides. They are an important group of compounds with biological, microbiological, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Therefore, studies on new peptidomimetics, which load the effect of native peptides, whose half-life in the body is much longer due to structural modifications, are extremely important. A preliminary study of coumarin analogues and its derivatives as new potential antimicrobial drugs containing carboxylic acid or ester was performed to determine their basic structure related to their biological features against various types of Gram-stained bacteria by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We hypothesized that the toxicity (antibacterial activity) of coumarin derivatives is dependent on the of LPS in bacteria and nature and position of the substituent which may be carboxylic acid, hydroxyl groups, or esters. In order to verify this hypothesis, we used K12 (smooth) and R1–R4 (rough) Escherichia coli strains which are characterized by differences in the type of LPS, especially in the O-antigen region, the outermost LPS layer. In our work, we synthesized 17 peptidomimetics containing a coumarin scaffold and checked their influence on K12 and R1–R4 E. coli strains possessing smooth and rough LPS. We also measured the damage of plasmid DNA caused by target compounds. The results of our studies clearly support the conclusion that coumarin peptidomimetics are antagonistic compounds to many of the currently used antibiotics. The high biological activity of the selected coumarin peptidomimetic was associated with identification of the so-called magic methyl groups, which substantially change the biochemical properties of target compounds. Investigating the effects of these compounds is particularly important in the era of increasingly common resistance in bacteria.

Abstract
Isocyanides as key intermediates and magic reactants have been widely applied in organic reactions for direct access to a broad spectrum of remarkable organic compounds. Although the history of these magical compounds dates back more than 100 years, it still has been drawing widespread attention of chemists who confirmed their versatility and effectiveness. Because of their wide spectrum of pharmacological, industrial and synthetic applications, many reactions with the utilization of isocyanides are reported in the literature. In this context, Iranian scientist played a significant role in the growth of isocyanides chemistry. The present review article covers literature from the period starting from 2010 onward and encompasses new synthetic routes and organic transformation involving isocyanides by Iranian researchers. During this period, a diverse range of isocyanide-based multi-component reactions (I-MCRs) has been reported such as a new modification of Ugi, post-Ugi, Passerini and Groebke-Blackburn-Bienayme condensation reactions, isocyanide-based [1 + 4] cycloaddition reactions, isocyanide-acetylene-based MCRs, isocyanide and Meldrum's acid-based MCRs, several unexpected reactions besides green mediums and novel catalytic systems for the synthesis of diverse kinds of pharmaceutically and industrially remarkable heterocyclic and linear organic compounds. This review also emphasizes the neoteric applications of I-MCR for the synthesis of valuable peptide and pseudopeptide scaffolds, enzyme immobilization and functionalization of materials with tailorable properties that can play important roles in the plethora of applications.

Abstract
In the present mini-review we discuss the findings, controversies, and gaps observed for the Ugi four-component reaction. The Ugi multicomponent reaction, performed by mixing an aldehyde, an amine, a carboxylic acid, and an isocyanide, is among the most important isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions (MCRs), allowing multiple bond formations (C-C and C-N) in a single synthetic step. The possibility of two reaction pathways and the little understood solvent effect over this transformation renders this reaction as one of the hardest challenges to overcome. The little knowledge of the mechanism of the Ugi MCR hinders the development of new and efficient chiral catalytic systems to further the application of the derivatives obtained by enantioselective versions. The asymmetric transformation is in this context a bigger challenge, and little is known about the mechanism of these few available versions. The new trend of functional chromophore synthesis by MCRs is also highlighted, and the few examples already disclosed in the literature exemplify the huge opportunity for investigation and creative ideas using the Ugi four-component reaction.

Abstract
The synthesis and self-assembly behavior of newly designed BINOL-based amphiphiles is presented. With minor structural modifications, the aggregation of these amphiphiles could be successfully tuned to form different types of assemblies in water, ranging from vesicles to cubic structures. Simple sonication induced the rearrangement of different kinetically stable aggregates into thermodynamically stable self-assembled nanotubes, as observed by cryo-TEM.

Abstract
The impact of isocyanoesters structure on enzymatic three-component Ugi reactions course has been determined. The significant promiscuous ability of enzyme in Ugi-type reaction switching between four (U-4CR) and three (U-3CR) components reactions depending on the size of used isocyanoester. The application of short-chain cyanoesters up to isocyanpropionate leading to product of three component reaction exclusively while longer isocyanobutyrate gives only the product of four component reaction. The limitation of studied enzymatic Ugi reaction is a substrate selectivity of lipases.

Abstract
Multicomponent reactions are powerful synthetic tools for the efficient creation of complex organic molecules in an one-pot one-step fashion. Moreover, the amount of solvents and energy needed for separation and purification of intermediates is significantly reduced what is beneficial from the green chemistry issues point of view. This review highlights the development of multicomponent reactions conducted using aqueous micelles systems during the last two decades.

Abstract
A simply and green synthetic protocol based on the selective laccase-oxidation of alcohol to a corresponding aldehyde and a following Ugi reaction in a micellar system made of SDS was developed and is reported herein. Special emphasis was placed on the metal-free chemoenzymatic tandem reaction based on alcohol oxidation strategies using molecular oxygen from air, followed by an Ugi reaction. The reaction was carried out without the use of a transition metal or organic solvents as a reaction medium. The presented protocol offers an efficient and environmentally friendly procedure.

Abstract
A C-acyltransferase was found to show promiscuous activity catalyzing C–N bond formation in aqueous buffer instead of C–C bond formation.
Amide bond formation has considerable significance in synthetic chemistry. Although the C-acyltransferase from Pseudomonas protegens has been found to catalyze C–C bond formation in nature as well as in in vitro experiments with non-natural substrates, it is now shown that the enzyme is also able to catalyze amide formation using aniline derivatives as substrates with promiscuous activity. Importantly, the amide formation was enabled in aqueous buffer. Identifying phenyl acetate as the most suitable acetyl donor, the products were obtained with up to >99% conversion and up to 99% isolated yield.
