Abstract
The furanone structure, a significant group of heterocyclic compounds, is frequently
found in natural products that are exhibiting striking pharmacological effects and
a growing field of research. They have a wide spectrum of pharmaceutical activity: anticataract,
anticancer, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant. This review article
presents a summary of natural furanones, synthetic methods, and the biological effects of
these important compounds. Solid-phase method, cross-coupling reactions, Maillard-type
reaction, the cycloaddition of alcohol and phenyl nitrile oxide, and side-chain modifications
are some types of reactions for the preparation of furanone derivatives. Methods of
preparation and pharmacological activities of furanone skeletons that are discussed in this
review article will help the medicinal chemists to design and execute novel procedures
towards finding new drugs.

Abstract
A series of 2(5H)-furanone-based compounds were synthesized from commercially available mucohalic acids. From the first-generation compounds, three showed inhibitory activity (10 µg/mL) of at least 35% against Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2) 155 growth (Bioscreen C system). In screening the active first-generation compounds for growth inhibition against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, the most active compound was identified with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC99 ) of 8.07 µg/mL (15.8 µM) using BACTEC 460 system. No cross-resistance was observed with some current first-line anti-TB drugs, since it similarly inhibited the growth of multidrug resistant (MDR) clinical isolates. The compound showed a good selectivity for mycobacteria since it did not inhibit the growth of selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It also showed synergistic activity with rifampicin (RIF) and additive activity with isoniazid (INH) and ethambutol (EMB). Additional time-kill studies showed that the compound is bacteriostatic to mycobacteria, but cytotoxic to the Chinese Hamster Ovarian (CHO) cell line. From a second generation library, two compounds showed improved anti-TB activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv and decreased CHO cell cytotoxicity. The compounds exhibited MIC values of 2.62 µg/mL (5.6 µM) and 3.07 µg/mL (5.6 µM) respectively. The improved cytotoxicity against CHO cell line of the two compounds ranged from IC50 = 38.24 µg/mL to IC50 = 45.58 µg/mL when compared to the most active first-generation compound (IC50 = 1.82 µg/mL). The two second generation leads with selectivity indices (SI) of 14.64 and 14.85 respectively, warrant further development as anti-TB drug candidates. © 2016 IUBMB Life, 68(8):612-620, 2016.

New Derivatives of Pyridoxine Exhibit High Antibacterial Activity against Biofilm-Embedded Staphylococcus Cells. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:890968. [PMID: 26839888 PMCID: PMC4709599 DOI: 10.1155/2015/890968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2015] [Revised: 11/23/2015] [Accepted: 11/30/2015] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Opportunistic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis often form rigid biofilms on tissues and inorganic surfaces. In the biofilm bacterial cells are embedded in a self-produced polysaccharide matrix and thereby are inaccessible to biocides, antibiotics, or host immune system. Here we show the antibacterial activity of newly synthesized cationic biocides, the quaternary ammonium, and bisphosphonium salts of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) against biofilm-embedded Staphylococci. The derivatives of 6-hydroxymethylpyridoxine were ineffective against biofilm-embedded S. aureus and S. epidermidis at concentrations up to 64 μg/mL, although all compounds tested exhibited low MICs (2 μg/mL) against planktonic cells. In contrast, the quaternary ammonium salt of pyridoxine (N,N-dimethyl-N-((2,2,8-trimethyl-4H-[1,3]dioxino[4,5-c]pyridin-5-yl)methyl)octadecan-1-aminium chloride (3)) demonstrated high biocidal activity against both planktonic and biofilm-embedded bacteria. Thus, the complete death of biofilm-embedded S. aureus and S. epidermidis cells was obtained at concentrations of 64 and 16 μg/mL, respectively. We suggest that the quaternary ammonium salts of pyridoxine are perspective to design new synthetic antibiotics and disinfectants for external application against biofilm-embedded cells.

Abstract
A small library of twenty-four quinoline based butenolides also known as furanones and their nitrogen analogues was prepared by using two different aroylpropionic acids, viz. 3-(2-naphthoyl)propionic acid (3) and 3-(biphenyl-4-yl)propionic acid (4), as starting materials. The 3-aroylpropionic acids were reacted with different 6-substituted-2-chloroquinolin-3-carbaldehydes (2a–d) to obtain the corresponding furan-2(3H)-ones (5a–h). The purified and characterized furanones were then converted into their corresponding 2(3H)-pyrrolones (6a–h) and N-benzyl-pyrrol-2(3H)-ones (7a–h). The antimicrobial activities of the title compounds were evaluated against two strains of each Gram +ve (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis), Gram −ve bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and against fungal strains of Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. In vivo anti-inflammatory potential of the title compounds was investigated by standard method. Majority of the compounds showed significant antibacterial activity against both the Gram +ve strains. Eight most potent anti-inflammatory compounds (5b, 5d, 5h, 6b, 7b, 7d, 7f, 7h) which exhibited >53% inhibition in edema, were also screened for their in vivo analgesic activity. All the tested compounds were found to have significant reduction in ulcerogenic action but only three compounds (5d, 5h and 7h) showed comparable analgesic activity to standard drug, diclofenac. The results were also validated using in silico approach and maximum mol doc score was obtained for compounds 7a–h. On comparing the in vivo and in silico anti-inflammatory results of synthesized compounds, N-benzyl pyrrolones (7a–h) emerged as the potent anti-inflammatory agents. It was also observed that compounds that possess electron withdrawing group such as —Cl or NO2 are more biologically active.

Abstract
New furanone derivatives incorporating the indolin-2-one moiety 3 were prepared via the Perkin reaction of isatins 1 with aroylpropionic acids 2 under conventional conditions or microwave irradiation. A series of functionally heterocyclic derivatives (e.g., pyridazines, pyrroles, and sulfonamides) incorporating the indolin-2-one moiety was achieved via reaction of 3 with different reagents under microwave irradiation conditions. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of FTIR, (1)H, (13)C NMR and mass spectral studies. Some of the new synthesized compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus), Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Shigilla flexneri) and antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans. Compound 8 j was equipotent to chloramphenicol in inhibiting the growth of E. coli minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC 2.5 μg/mL). Compound 8j may possibly be used as a lead compound for developing a new antibacterial agents. The antibacterial activity is expressed as the corresponding MIC (μg/mL) values.

3,4-Dichloro-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone treated with methyl chloroformate in the presence of diisopropylethylamine (Hünig’s base) gave the corresponding carbonate. The labile methoxycarbonyloxy group smoothly undergoes substitution by amino alcohols. The obtained 5-(ω-hydroxyalkylamino) mucochloric acid derivatives reacted with peracetylated glucals using triphenylphosphine hydrobromide as a catalyst to give the title muchloric acid glycoconjugates.

Abstract
New monohalogenated maleimide derivatives (with bromine, chlorine or iodine) were synthesized to test the effect of halogen atoms in inhibiting the formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm. The evaluation of their biological activities clearly defines a structure-activity relationship. In this study, the bactericidal action of the three compounds was observed at the concentration range 0.3-5.0 mM on Luria-Bertani agar plates. The halogen atom of these molecules was critical in modulating the antibacterial activity, with a slightly higher effectiveness for chlorine. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to examine P. aeruginosa biofilms cultivated in flow cells. At concentration as low as 40 microM, the bromine and iodine compounds displayed a total inhibition towards the formation of bacterial biofilm. At this concentration, the bacterial attachment to glass surfaces was strongly affected by the presence of bromine and iodine whereas the chlorine derivative behaved as a bactericidal compound. A bioluminescent reporter strain was then used to detect the effect of the chemically synthesized maleimides on quorum sensing (QS) in P. aeruginosa. At the concentration range 10-100 microM, bioluminescence assays reveal that halogenated maleimides were able to interfere with the QS of the bacterium. Although the relationship between the weak inhibition of cell-to-cell communication (15-55% of the signal) and the high inhibition of biofilm formation has not been elucidated clearly, the results demonstrate that bromo- and iodo-N-substituted maleimides bromine and iodine may be used as new potent inhibitors that control bacterial biofilms.

Abstract
3-Arylidene-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2(3H)-furanones 2a-m were prepared from 3-(4-methyl-benzoyl)propanoic acid 1 and several aromatic aldehydes. Some of the selected furanones were reacted with ammonia gas and benzylamine to give corresponding 3-arylidene-1,3-dihydro-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2H-pyrrol- 2-ones 3a-h and 3-arylidene-1-benzyl-1,3-dihydro-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2H- -pyrrol-2-ones 4a-f, respectively, which were characterized on the basis of IR, 1H-NMR, mass spectral data and elemental analysis results. These compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities. The compounds, which showed significant anti-inflammatory activity, were further screened for their analgesic and ulcerogenic activities. Three new compounds (2e, 2h and 4d), out of twenty-seven showed very good anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenan induced rat paw edema test, with significant analgesic activity in the acetic acid induced writhing test together with negligible ulcerogenic action. The antibacterial activity is expressed as the corresponding MIC values.

Abstract
Starting from the mucohalogen acids 1a and b 5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanones 2a-h have been prepared and tested. These novel 4-amino-5-hydroxy 2(5H)-furananones have shown a broad antibiotic activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 in the micromolar range. A one step synthesis from mucohalogen acids towards the antibacterials 2a-h was developed, in which the target was obtained from 1a and b under reflux in toluene in presence of a catalytic amount of sulfuric acid. The derivatives 2b and c displayed a MIC and MBC of 4/8mug/ml, against Staphylococcus aureus with a selectivity towards the resistant strains.
