Abstract
Macrocyclic compounds have emerged as potent tools in the field of drug design, offering unique advantages for enhancing molecular recognition, improving pharmacokinetic properties, and expanding the chemical space accessible to medicinal chemists. This review delves into the evolutionary trajectory of macrocyclic-based strategies, tracing their journey from laboratory innovations to clinical applications. Beginning with an exploration of the defining structural features of macrocycles and their impact on drug-like characteristics, this discussion progresses to highlight key design principles that have facilitated the development of diverse macrocyclic drug candidates. Through a series of illustrative representative case studies from approved macrocyclic drugs and candidates spanning various therapeutic areas, particular emphasis is placed on their efficacy in targeting challenging protein-protein interactions, enzymes, and receptors. Additionally, this review thoroughly examines how macrocycles effectively address critical issues such as metabolic stability, oral bioavailability and selectivity. Valuable insights into optimization strategies employed during both approved and clinical phases underscore successful translation of promising leads into efficacious therapies while providing valuable perspectives on harnessing the full potential of macrocycles in drug discovery and development endeavors.

Abstract
Biologically important macromolecule 1, 1', 3, 3' Bis - [2,3,5,6-Tetramethyl-p-phenylenebis(methylene)] dibenzotriazlinium dibromide hydrate (BTD) was synthesized and characterized using FT-IR, NMR and single-crystal XRD (SCXRD). SCXRD revealed that the compound was crystallized as a monoclinic system and associated through weak intermolecular interactions like H-bonding and π- π stacking interactions. These weak intermolecular interactions in BTD were studied using Crystal Explorer and Gaussian. The calculated energies for the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) showed the stability and reactivity of the title compound. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface analysis was used to investigate the crystal's nucleophilic and electrophilic reactive sites. The molecular shape and intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure were determined using Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots. Anticancer, anti-bacterial and DNA binding ability of BTD were investigated by experimental and theoretical techniques. The obtained results suggest that BTD possesses better anti-cancer, anti-bacterial and DNA binding abilities. The mode of action of antibiotic and anticancer approach was discussed. This provides promising therapeutic advantages for further development.

Abstract
Many macrocyclic compounds are attractive drug-like molecules or intermediates due to their special properties. However, the bulk synthesis of such compounds are hindered by the necessity of using diluted solutions, in order to prevent intermolecular reactions that yields oligomer impurities, thereby resulting in a low production efficiency. Such challenge can be adequately addressed by using continuous reactors, allowing improved efficiency with smaller space footprints. In this work, we proposed a novel continuous process for the synthesis of a macrocyclic sulfite of tetraethylene glycol (PEG4-MCSi), which is a precursor to a very useful building block, PEG4-macrocyclic sulfate (PEG4-MCS). The basic reaction parameters, including stoichiometry and temperature, were first confirmed with small batch reactions, and the effectiveness of coiled reactors and continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) were compared. Cascaded CSTRs were proven to be suitable, and the reaction parameters were subject to further optimization to give a robust continuous process. The process was then tested with 4 parallel runs for up to 64 h. Finally, the merits and demerits of batch and continuous reactions were also compared, demonstrating the suitability of latter in the bulk production of macrocyclic PEG-MCSi compounds.

Abstract
The growing resistance of pathogens, bacteria, viruses, and fungi to a number of drugs has encouraged researchers to use natural and synthetic biomimetic systems to overcome this challenge. Multicomponent systems are an attractive approach for drug design and multitarget therapy. In this study, we report the assembly of a three-component (pillar[5]arene, bovine serum albumin, and methyl orange) biosupramolecular system as a potential drug delivery system. We estimated the cytotoxic activity and transfection ability of pillar[5]arene derivatives and investigated the effect of the nature of macrocycle functions (L-phenylalanine, glycine, L-alanine) on the native conformation of serum albumin in a three-component system. NMR, UV-vis, fluorescence, CD spectroscopy, DLS, and molecular docking studies were performed in order to confirm the structure and possible pillar[5]arene/bovine serum albumin/methyl orange interactions occurring during the association process. Results indicate that pillar[5]arene with L-phenylalanine fragments retains the native form of BSA to the maximum extent and forms more stable associates.

Abstract
Increasing disease-related proteins have been identified as novel therapeutic targets. Macrocycles are emerging as potential solutions, bridging the gap between conventional small molecules and biomacromolecules in drug discovery. Inspired by successful macrocyclic drugs of natural origins, macrocycles are attracting more attention for enhanced binding affinity and target selectivity. Due to the conformation constraint and structure preorganization, macrocycles can reach bioactive conformations more easily than parent acyclic compounds. Also, rational macrocyclization combined with sequent structural modification will help improve oral bioavailability and combat drug resistance. This review introduces various strategies to enhance membrane permeability in macrocyclization and subsequent modification, such as N-methylation, intramolecular hydrogen bonding modulation, isomerization, and reversible bicyclization. Several case studies highlight macrocyclic inhibitors targeting kinases, HDAC, and protein-protein interactions. Finally, some macrocyclic agents targeting tumor microenvironments are illustrated.

Abstract
Twelve new polyenic macrolactams, cyclamenols G-R (1 and 3-13), together with the known analogue cyclamenol A (2), were isolated from Streptomyces sp. OUCMDZ-4348. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, quantum chemical calculations, chemical derivatizations, and Mosher's methods. The sequenced genome of OUCMDZ-4348 revealed the putative biosynthetic gene cluster of cyclamenols. It was proposed that the polycyclic natural products, cyclamenols H-R, might be formed from cyclamenols A and G through nonenzymatic intramolecular cycloadditions and oxidative cyclizations.

Abstract
An electroreductive cross-electrophile coupling protocol was developed for the construction of valuable 1,3-dienes from vinyl bromides. Furthermore, this scalable method can also be used to forge complex [4 + 2] cycloadducts in a one-pot manner. One of the most important advantages of this green and sustainable protocol is the in situ release of nickel catalyst from the inexpensive electrodes without the addition of extra harmful metal catalysts and reductant.

Abstract
Macrocyclic compounds, characterized by cyclic structures, often originate from either modified forms of unicyclic canonical molecules or natural products. Within the field of medicinal chemistry, there has been a growing fascination with drug-like macrocycles in recent years, primarily due to compelling evidence indicating that macrocyclization can significantly influence both the biological and physiochemical properties, as well as the selectivity, when compared to their acyclic counterparts. The approval of contemporary pharmaceutical agents like Lorlatinib underscore the notable clinical relevance of drug-like macrocycles. Nonetheless, the synthesis of these drug-like macrocycles poses substantial challenges, primarily stemming from the complexity of ring-closing reactions, which are inherently dependent on the size and geometry of the bridging linker, impacting overall yields. Nevertheless, macrocycles offer a promising avenue for expanding the synthetic toolkit in medicinal chemistry, enabling the creation of bioactive compounds. To shed light on the subject, we delve into the clinical prowess of established macrocyclic drugs, spanning various therapeutic areas, including oncology, and infectious diseases. Case studies of clinically approved macrocyclic agents illustrate their profound impact on patient care and disease management. As we embark on this journey through the world of macrocyclic pharmaceuticals, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of their synthesis and clinical applications, shedding light on the pivotal role they play in modern medicine.

Abstract
The rapid evolution of antibiotic resistance in Clostridioides difficile and the consequent effects on prevention and treatment of C. difficile infections (CDIs) are a matter of concern for public health. Antibiotic resistance plays an important role in driving C. difficile epidemiology. Emergence of new types is often associated with the emergence of new resistances, and most of the epidemic C. difficile clinical isolates is currently resistant to multiple antibiotics. In particular, it is to worth to note the recent identification of strains with reduced susceptibility to the first-line antibiotics for CDI treatment and/or for relapsing infections. Antibiotic resistance in C. difficile has a multifactorial nature. Acquisition of genetic elements and alterations of the antibiotic target sites, as well as other factors, such as variations in the metabolic pathways or biofilm production, contribute to the survival of this pathogen in the presence of antibiotics. Different transfer mechanisms facilitate the spread of mobile elements among C. difficile strains and between C. difficile and other species. Furthermore, data indicate that both genetic elements and alterations in the antibiotic targets can be maintained in C. difficile regardless of the burden imposed on fitness, and therefore resistances may persist in C. difficile population in absence of antibiotic selective pressure.

Abstract
Although gemcitabine-based regimens are widely used as an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer, acquired resistance to gemcitabine has become an increasingly common problem. Therefore, a novel therapeutic strategy to treat gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer is urgently required. Piceamycin has been reported to exhibit antiproliferative activity against various cancer cells; however, its underlying molecular mechanism for anticancer activity in pancreatic cancer cells remains unexplored. Therefore, the present study evaluated the antiproliferation activity of piceamycin in a gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cell line and patient-derived pancreatic cancer organoids. Piceamycin effectively inhibited the proliferation and suppressed the expression of alpha-actinin-4, a gene that plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis and metastasis of various cancers, in gemcitabine-resistant cells. Long-term exposure to piceamycin induced cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase and caused apoptosis. Piceamycin also inhibited the invasion and migration of gemcitabine-resistant cells by modulating focal adhesion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition biomarkers. Moreover, the combination of piceamycin and gemcitabine exhibited a synergistic antiproliferative activity in gemcitabine-resistant cells. Piceamycin also effectively inhibited patient-derived pancreatic cancer organoid growth and induced apoptosis in the organoids. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that piceamycin may be an effective agent for overcoming gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Herein, we report the Ru-/Ir-catalyzed synthesis of valuable macrolactams from macrolactones and esters. The ring-opening of the macrolactones was efficaciously facilitated by the Ru catalyst to generate 32 amides in the first step. In the second step, intramolecular N-alkylative ring closure of amides with alcohols was succeeded by Ir catalyst to provide a series of 22 macrolactams and gave water as a byproduct. Moreover, this approach proceeded under neutral conditions and avoided the use of external additives.

Abstract
Late-stage functionalization (LSF) constitutes a powerful strategy for the assembly or diversification of novel molecular entities with improved physicochemical or biological activities. LSF can thus greatly accelerate the development of medicinally relevant compounds, crop protecting agents, and functional materials. Electrochemical molecular synthesis has emerged as an environmentally friendly platform for the transformation of organic compounds.

AlCl 3@ZnO nanostructured material: an efficient green catalyst for the one-pot solvent-free synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines. RSC Adv 2023; 13:24767-24776. [PMID: 37601590 PMCID: PMC10437094 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra04277d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
AlCl3-loaded ZnO nanoparticles have been explored as an efficient catalyst for 1,4-dihydropyridine synthesis under ambient temperature and solvent-free conditions. For this purpose, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple solution-based precipitation technique using a stoichiometric amount of zinc sulfate and oxalic acid. The AlCl3@ZnO nanocrystalline catalyst was prepared by loading 20% AlCl3 on ZnO nanoparticles by a simple wet-impregnation technique. This catalyst efficiently performed Hantzsch pyridine reactions with various aromatic aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate. The nanostructured AlCl3-loaded ZnO catalyst was characterized by UV-DRS, XRD, FESEM, EDS, FETEM-STEM-EDS and XPS techniques. The comprehensive characterization reveals the formation of AlCl3-loaded ZnO catalysts with an average particle size of 70-80 nm. The loading of AlCl3 on the ZnO surface was confirmed by minor shifts in the XPS and XRD peaks. FETEM-STEM-EDS also indicates reasonable AlCl3 loading on ZnO nanoparticles. The 20% AlCl3-loaded ZnO nanocatalyst (AlCl3@ZnO) confers 92% yield for the synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridine under solvent-free and ambient temperature conditions. The synthesized 1,4-dihydropyridines were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, HRMS and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. The reported catalyst is highly efficient, environmentally friendly and could become an alternative to homogenous and heterogenous catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Kinases play an important role in regulating various intracellular signaling pathways that control cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and other cellular processes, and their deregulation causes more than 400 diseases. Consequently, macrocyclization can be considered a noteworthy approach to developing new therapeutic agents for human diseases. Macrocyclization has emerged as an effective drug discovery strategy over the past decade to improve target selectivity and potency of small molecules. Small compounds with linear structures upon macrocyclization can lead to changes in their physicochemical and biological properties by firmly reducing conformational flexibility. A number of distinct protein kinases exhibit similar binding sites. Comparison of protein binding sites provides crucial insights for drug discovery and development. Binding site similarities are helpful in understanding polypharmacology, identifying potential off-targets, and repurposing known drugs. In this review, we focused on comparing the binding sites of those kinases for which macrocyclic inhibitors are available/studied so far. Furthermore, we calculated the volume of the binding site pocket for each targeted kinase and then compared it with the binding site pocket of the kinase for which only acyclic inhibitors were designed to date. Our review and analysis of several explored kinases might be useful in targeting new protein kinases for macrocyclic drug discovery.

Abstract
Traditional macrocyclic molecules encode recognition sites in their structural backbones, which limits the variation of the recognition sites and thus, would restrict the adjustment of recognition properties. Here, we report a new oligoamide-based macrocycle capable of varying the recognition functional groups by post-synthesis modification on its structural backbone. Through six steps of common reactions, the parent macrocycle (9) can be produced in gram scale with an overall yield of 31%. The post-synthesis modification of 9 to vary the recognition sites are demonstrated by producing four different macrocycles (10-13) with distinct functional groups, 2-methoxyethoxyl (10), hydroxyl (11), carboxyl (12) and amide (13), respectively. The 1H NMR study suggests that the structure of these macrocycles is consistent with our design, i.e., forming hydrogen bonding network at both rims of the macrocyclic backbone. The 1H-1H NOESY NMR study indicates the recognition functional groups are located inside the cavity of macrocycles. At last, a preliminary molecular recognition study shows 10 can recognize n-octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (14) in chloroform.

Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and safety as food preservatives, whereas the stability and antibacterial activity require improvement. Here, the "head-to-tail" cyclization of linear AMP GKE was catalyzed by butelase 1, which resulted in an improved pronouncedly antibacterial effect. Cell morphology and propidium iodide uptake revealed that the increased membrane permeability was one of the bacteriostatic mechanisms of GKE and could be enhanced after cyclization. As cyclic GKE (cGKE) exhibited more stability than the linear counterpart under the microorganism culture environment, the increase in effective bacteriostatic concentration should be a reason for the superior antibacterial effect. Moreover, cGKE exhibited the ordered secondary structure, while GKE possessed a similar structure only in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles. The structure was also beneficial to improve the antibacterial activity caused by the increased affinity of cGKE to the membranes. Overall, butelase 1-mediated cyclization is a promising strategy for enhancing the antibacterial activity of linear AMPs.

Abstract
A novel macrolactam named oxalactam A (1), three known dipeptides (2-4) as well as other known alkaloids (5-7) were obtained from the endophytic fungus Penicillium oxalicum, which was derived from the tuber of Icacina trichantha (Icacinaceae). All chemical structures were established based on spectroscopic data, chemical methods, ECD calculations, and 13C-DP4+ analysis. Among them, oxalactam A (1) is a 16-membered polyenic macrolactam bearing a new skeleton of 2,9-dimethyl-azacyclohexadecane core and exhibited potent anti-Rhizoctonia solani activity with a MIC value of 10 μg/mL in vitro. The plausible biosynthetic pathway of 1 was also proposed via the alanyl protecting mechanism. Notably, three dipeptides (2-4) were first identified from the endophytic fungus P. oxalicum and the NMR data of cyclo(L-Trp-L-Glu) (2) was reported for the first time. In addition, the binding interactions between compound 1 and the sterol 14α-demethylase enzyme (CYP51) were studied by molecular docking and dynamics technologies, and the results revealed that the 16-membered polyenic macrolactam could be a promising CYP51 inhibitor to develop as a new anti-Rhizoctonia solani fungicide.

Abstract
An emerging class of therapeutic molecules are cyclic peptides with over 40 cyclic peptide drugs currently in clinical use. Their mode of action is, however, not fully understood, impeding rational drug design. Computational techniques could positively impact their design, but modeling them and their interactions remains challenging due to their cyclic nature and their flexibility. This study presents a step-by-step protocol for generating cyclic peptide conformations and docking them to their protein target using HADDOCK2.4. A dataset of 30 cyclic peptide-protein complexes was used to optimize both cyclization and docking protocols. It supports peptides cyclized via an N- and C-terminus peptide bond and/or a disulfide bond. An ensemble of cyclic peptide conformations is then used in HADDOCK to dock them onto their target protein using knowledge of the binding site on the protein side to drive the modeling. The presented protocol predicts at least one acceptable model according to the critical assessment of prediction of interaction criteria for each complex of the dataset when the top 10 HADDOCK-ranked single structures are considered (100% success rate top 10) both in the bound and unbound docking scenarios. Moreover, its performance in both bound and fully unbound docking is similar to the state-of-the-art software in the field, Autodock CrankPep. The presented cyclization and docking protocol should make HADDOCK a valuable tool for rational cyclic peptide-based drug design and high-throughput screening.

Abstract
A modular platform for the synthesis of tunable aza-oxa-based macrocycles was established. Modulations in the backbone and the side-chain functional groups have been rendered to achieve the tunable property. These aza-oxa-based macrocycles can also differ in the number of heteroatoms in the backbone and the ring size of the macrocycles. For the proof of concept, a library of macrocycles was synthesized with various hanging functional groups, different combinations of heteroatoms, and ring sizes in the range of 17-27 atoms and was characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry. In light of the importance of the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction and the significance of triazole groups for various applications, we employed the click-reaction-based macrocyclization. The competence of the synthesized macrocycles in various biomedical applications was proven by studying the interactions with the serum albumin proteins; bovine serum albumin and human serum albumin. It was observed that some candidates, based on their hanging functional groups and specific backbone atoms, could interact well with the protein, thus improving the bioactive properties. On the whole, this work is a proof-of-concept to explore the backbone- and side-chain-tunable macrocycle for different properties and applications.

Abstract
Many therapeutic agents are macrocyclic trisubstituted alkenes but preparation of these structures is typically inefficient and non-selective. A possible solution would entail catalytic macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis, but these transformations require high catalyst loading, conformationally rigid precursors and are often low yielding and/or non-stereoselective. Here we introduce a ring-closing metathesis strategy for synthesis of trisubstituted macrocyclic olefins in either stereoisomeric form, regardless of the level of entropic assistance. The goal was achieved by addressing several unexpected difficulties, including complications arising from pre-ring-closing metathesis alkene isomerization. The power of the method is highlighted by two examples. The first is the near-complete reversal of substrate-controlled selectivity in the formation of a macrolactam related to an antifungal natural product. The other is a late-stage stereoselective generation of an E-trisubstituted alkene in a 24-membered ring, en route to the cytotoxic natural product dolabelide C.

Abstract
Iridium-catalyzed cascade allylation/macrolactonization between vinylethylene carbonate (VEC) and isatoic anhydride derivatives was successfully developed, readily generating a wide range of C2-symmetric chiral macrodiolides bearing 14-membered rings in moderate to good yields with excellent diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities (generally 99% ee). Control experiments revealed that racemic VEC as the precursor of electrophilic iridium-π-allyl species underwent kinetic resolution process. This expedient protocol features easily available substrates, excellent stereoselective control, and high step economy.

Abstract
A formal synthesis of FR252921, a potent macrocyclic immunosuppressive agent, and a six-step synthesis of vitamin A have been demonstrated. The application of a ruthenium-catalyzed step-economic and environmentally benign strategy for the highly stereo- and chemoselective construction of valuable polyene motifs of FR252921 and vitamin A highlights the syntheses. The key features for the synthesis FR252921 include preparation of the triene moiety followed by two consecutive peptide couplings of the three fragments.

Abstract
Macrocycles represent attractive candidates in organic synthesis and drug discovery. Since 2014, nineteen macrocyclic drugs, including three radiopharmaceuticals, have been approved by FDA for the treatment of bacterial and viral infections, cancer, obesity, immunosuppression, etc. As such, new synthetic methodologies and high throughput chemistry (e.g., microwave-assisted and/or solid-phase synthesis) to access various macrocycle entities have attracted great interest in this chemical space. This article serves as an update on our previous review related to macrocyclic drugs and new synthetic strategies toward macrocycles (Molecules, 2013, 18, 6230). In this work, I first reviewed recent FDA-approved macrocyclic drugs since 2014, followed by new advances in macrocycle synthesis using high throughput chemistry, including microwave-assisted and/or solid-supported macrocyclization strategies. Examples and highlights of macrocyclization include macrolactonization and macrolactamization, transition-metal catalyzed olefin ring-closure metathesis, intramolecular C-C and C-heteroatom cross-coupling, copper- or ruthenium-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, intramolecular SNAr or SN2 nucleophilic substitution, condensation reaction, and multi-component reaction-mediated macrocyclization, and covering the literature since 2010.

Abstract
Most recently, the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has been recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) while this virus shares substantial similarity with SARS-CoV. So far, no definitive vaccine or drug has been developed to cure Covid-19 disease, since many important aspects about Covid-19 such as pathogenesis and proliferation pathways are still unclear. It was proven that human ACE2 is the main receptor for the entry of Covid-19 into lower respiratory tract epithelial cells through interaction with SARS-CoV-2 S protein. Based on this observation, it is expected that the virus infection can be inhibited if protein-protein interaction is prevented. In this study, using structure-based virtual screening of FDA databases, several lead drugs were discovered based on the ACE2-binding pocket of SARS-CoV-2 S protein. Then, binding affinity, binding modes, critical interactions, and pharmaceutical properties of the lead drugs were evaluated. Among the previously approved drugs, Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate, Digitoxin, Ivermectin, Rapamycin, Rifaximin, and Amphotericin B represented the most desirable features, and can be possible candidates for Covid-19 therapies. Furthermore, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was accomplished for three S protein/drug complexes with the highest binding affinity and best conformation and binding free energies were also computed with the Molecular Mechanics/Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MM/PBSA) method. Results demonstrated the stable binding of these compounds to the S protein; however, in order to confirm the curative effect of these drugs, clinical trials must be done.

Abstract
![]()
Natural products
are a bountiful source of bioactive molecules.
Unfortunately, discovery of novel bioactive natural products is challenging
due to cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters, low titers, and arduous
purifications. Herein, we describe SNaPP (Synthetic Natural Product
Inspired Cyclic Peptides), a method for identifying
NP-inspired bioactive peptides. SNaPP expedites bioactive molecule
discovery by combining bioinformatics predictions of nonribosomal
peptide synthetases with chemical synthesis of the predicted natural
products (pNPs). SNaPP utilizes a recently discovered cyclase, the
penicillin binding protein-like cyclase, as the lynchpin for the development
of a library of head-to-tail cyclic peptide pNPs. Analysis of 500
biosynthetic gene clusters allowed for identification of 131 novel
pNPs. Fifty-one diverse pNPs were synthesized using solid phase peptide
synthesis and solution-phase cyclization. Antibacterial testing revealed
14 pNPs with antibiotic activity, including activity against multidrug-resistant
Gram-negative bacteria. Overall, SNaPP demonstrates the power of combining
bioinformatics predictions with chemical synthesis to accelerate the
discovery of bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Herein we describe a new approach for end-to-end cyclization to construct macrocycles through the inter/intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and ketones in the presence of a Ru-MACHO catalyst. This method is highly atom economical and sustainable and can be used for many substrates. Additionally, this method results in the generation of only water as the byproduct. Moreover, in this approach, high dilution of the reactants is crucial for cyclization and high-yield macrocycle synthesis.

Abstract
Simple Summary Antibiotics are widely used for the treatment and control of bovine mastitis. However, the treatment has only been partially effective, as the cure percentage only ranging from 10–30%. Infection by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is particularly difficult to treat due to the bacteria’s ability to enter and resides inside the host cells. Most antibiotics are ineffective against intracellular bacterial due to the poor penetration into host cells to achieve optimal intracellular bactericidal bioavailability levels. There is therefore, an increasing need to evaluate candidate active substances and develop novel antibiotics effective against intracellular persistence infection. In this study, we examine the potential antibacterial properties of ikarugamycin compound as an alternative drug candidate to be explored for treating persistent bovine mastitis caused by intracellular S. aureus using bovine mammary cell line as an in vitro infection model. We also assessed the potential cytotoxicity effect of ikarugamycin in the infection model. We found that, the ikarugamycin possessed intracellular killing activity against S. aureus within the mammary epithelial cell. This finding highlights the potential application of ikarugamycin as a novel antimicrobial for the treatment of S. aureus mastitis. Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is an ubiquitous and versatile pathogen associated with a wide range of diseases. In animals, this bacterium is one of the causative agents of bovine mastitis, responsible for huge economic losses in the dairy industry. Besides the development of antibiotic resistance, the intracellular survival of S. aureus within udder cells has rendered many antibiotics ineffective, leading to therapeutic failure. Our study therefore aims to investigate the in vitro bactericidal activity of ikarugamycin (IKA) against intracellular S. aureus using a bovine mammary epithelial cells (Mac-T cells) infection model and determine the cytotoxic effect. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was used to determine the antibacterial activity of IKA, and Mac-T cells were infected with S. aureus using gentamicin protection assay. IKA intracellular antibacterial activity assays were used to determine the bactericidal activity of IKA against intracellular S. aureus. The cytotoxicity of IKA against Mac-T cells was evaluated using the resazurin assay. We showed that, S. aureus is susceptible to IKA with a MIC value of 0.6 μg/mL. IKA at 4 × MIC and 8 × MIC have bactericidal activity by reducing 3 and 5 logs10 CFU/mL of S. aureus in the first six-hour of treatment respectively. In addition, IKA demonstrated intracellular killing activity by killing 90% of intracellular S. aureus at 5 μg/mL. This level is comparatively lower than 9.2 μg/mL determined as the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of IKA required to kill 50% of Mac-T cells, highlighting a lower concentration required for bactericidal effect compared to the cytotoxic effect. The study highlighted that importance of IKA as a potential antibiotic candidate to be explored for the in vivo efficacy in treating S. aureus mastitis.

Abstract
Macrolactones constitute a privileged class of natural and synthetic products with a broad range of applications in the fine chemicals and pharmaceutical industry. Despite all the progress made towards their synthesis, notably from seco-acids, a macrolactonization promoter system that is effective, selective, flexible, readily available, and, insofar as possible, compatible with manifold functional groups is still lacking. Herein, we describe a strategy that relies on the formation of a mixed anhydride incorporating a pentafluorophenyl group which, due to its high electronic activation enables a convenient access to macrolactones, macrodiolides and esters with a broad versatility. Kinetic studies and DFT computations were performed to rationalize the reactivity of the pentafluorophenyl group in macrolactonization reactions.

Abstract
An efficient macrocyclisation approach based on the double aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SNACK) was developed. This methodology allows a facile incorporation of heterocyclic motifs into macrocyclic rings and rapid synthesis of a significant number of structurally diverse macrocycles. SNACK macrocyclisation enables preparation of stable diastereoisomers of conformationally restricted macrocycles (atropisomers). Practical application of SNACK macrocyclisation in a drug discovery project was exemplified by the identification of high affinity macrocyclic binders of B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6).

Abstract
The development of methods for amide bond formation without recourse to typical condensation reagents has become an emerging research area and has been actively explored in the past quarter century. Inspired by the structure of vitamin B12, we have developed a metal-templated macrolactamisation that generates a new wave towards classical macrolactam synthesis. Further, distinct from the extensively used methods with condensation reagents or catalysts based on catalyst/reagent control our metal-catalysed methods based on substrate control can effectively address long-standing challenges such as racemisation in the field of peptide chemistry. In addition, the substrate-controlled strategy demonstrates the feasibility of "remote" peptide bond-forming reaction catalysed by a metal-ligand complex. Moreover, an originally designed hydrosilane/aminosilane system can avoid not only racemisation but also unnecessary waste production. This feature article documents our discovery and application of our original approaches in amide bond formation.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a critical enzyme in antimicrobial host-defense, has been implicated in chronic inflammatory diseases such as coronary artery disease. The design and evaluation of MPO inhibitors for the treatment of cardiovascular disease are reported herein. Starting with the MPO and triazolopyridine 3 crystal structure, novel inhibitors were designed incorporating a substituted pyrazole, which allowed for substituents to interact with hydrophobic and hydrophilic patches in the active site. SAR exploration of the substituted pyrazoles led to piperidine 17, which inhibited HOCl production from activated neutrophils with an IC50 value of 2.4 μM and had selectivity against thyroid peroxidase (TPO). Optimization of alkylation chemistry on the pyrazole nitrogen facilitated the preparation of many analogs, including macrocycles designed to bridge two hydrophobic regions of the active site. Multiple macrocyclization strategies were pursued to prepare analogs that optimally bound to the active site, leading to potent macrocyclic MPO inhibitors with TPO selectivity, such as compound 30.

Abstract
Glycomacrolactones exhibit many interesting biological properties, and they are also important in molecular recognitions and for supramolecular chemistry. Therefore, it is important to be able to access glycomacrocycles with different sizes and functionality. A new series of carbohydrate-based macrocycles containing triazole and lactone moieties have been designed and synthesized. The synthesis features an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction for the macrocyclization step. In this article, the effect of some common sulfonate leaving groups is evaluated for macrolactonization. Using tosylate gave good selectivity for monolactonization products with good yields. Fourteen different macrocycles have been synthesized and characterized, of which eleven macrocycles are from cyclization of the C1 to C6 positions of N-acetyl D-glucosamine derivatives and three others from C2 to C6 cyclization of functionalized D-glucosamine derivatives. These novel macrolactones have unique structures and demonstrate interesting anion binding properties, especially for chloride. The macrocycles containing two triazoles form complexes with copper sulfate, and they are effective ligands for copper sulfate mediated azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions (CuAAC). In addition, several macrocycles show some selectivity for different alkynes.

Abstract
The introduction of fluorine atoms into molecules and materials across many fields of academic and industrial research is now commonplace, owing to their unique properties. A particularly interesting feature is the impact of fluorine substitution on the relative orientation of a C-F bond when incorporated into organic molecules. In this Review, we will be discussing the conformational behavior of fluorinated aliphatic carbo- and heterocyclic systems. The conformational preference of each system is associated with various interactions introduced by fluorine substitution such as charge-dipole, dipole-dipole, and hyperconjugative interactions. The contribution of each interaction on the stabilization of the fluorinated alicyclic system, which manifests itself in low conformations, will be discussed in detail. The novelty of this feature will be demonstrated by presenting the most recent applications.

Abstract
The tale of abate in antibiotics continued defense mechanisms that chaperone the rise of drug-defying superbugs—on the other hand, the astray in antibacterial drug discovery and development. Our salvation lies in circumventing the genesis of resistance. Considering the competitive advantages of antibacterial chemotherapeutic agents equipped with multiple warheads against resistance, the development of hybrids has rejuvenated. The adoption of antibiotic hybrid paradigm to macrocycles has advanced novel chemical entities to clinical trials. The multi-targeted TD-1792, for instance, retained potent antibacterial activities against multiple strains that are resistant to its constituent, vancomycin. Moreover, the antibiotic conjugation of rifamycins has provided hybrid clinical candidates with desirable efficacy and safety profiles. In 2020, the U.S. FDA has granted an orphan drug designation to TNP-2092, a conjugate of rifamycin and fluoroquinolone, for the treatment of prosthetic joint infections. DSTA4637S is a pioneer antibacterial agent under clinical development and represents a novel class of bacterial therapy, that is, antibody–antibiotic conjugates. DSTA4637S is effective against the notorious persistent S. aureus bacteremia, a revelation of the abracadabra potential of antibiotic hybrid approaches.

Abstract
Macrocyclic compounds (MCs) are of growing interest for inhibition of challenging drug targets. We consider afresh what structural and physicochemical features could be relevant to the bioactivity of this compound class. Using these features, we performed Principal Component Analysis to map oral and non-oral macrocycle drugs and clinical candidates, and also commercially available synthetic MCs, in structure–property space. We find that oral MC drugs occupy defined regions that are distinct from those of the non-oral MC drugs. None of the oral MC regions are effectively sampled by the synthetic MCs. We identify 13 properties that can be used to design synthetic MCs that sample regions overlapping with oral MC drugs. The results advance our understanding of what molecular features are associated with bioactive and orally bioavailable MCs, and illustrate an approach by which synthetic chemists can better evaluate MC designs. We also identify underexplored regions of macrocycle chemical space. Macrocyclic compounds (MCs) are of high interest for inhibition of challenging drug targets, but existing oral MC drugs occupy regions of chemical space that are not well sampled by many available synthetic MC chemotypes.![]()

Abstract
A depsipeptidic analogue of FE399 was efficiently synthesized mainly through macrolactamization using 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic anhydride (MNBA), and a detailed investigation of the desired 16-membered macrolactam core of FE399 was performed. It was determined that the combination of MNBA and a catalytic amount of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine N-oxide exhibits much higher activity than that of conventionally used coupling reagents such as hexafluorophosphate azabenzotriazole tetramethyl uronium and benzotriazol-1-yl-oxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate.

Abstract
Covering: 1981-2020 Heck macrocyclization is a logical extension of the award-winning Mizoroki-Heck reaction. Through covalent linking of two otherwise discrete coupling partners, the resultant chimeric substrate is transformed into a large ring with enhanced rigidity and unique functional group disposition. Pioneered in the early 1980s, this methodology has evolved into a competent option for creating diverse macrocycles. Despite its growing influence, hitherto no systematic survey has ever appeared in the literature. The present review delineates the state-of-the-art of Heck macrocyclization in the context of natural product synthesis. Sixteen selected cases, each examined from a different perspective, coalesce into the view that the title reaction is a viable tool for synthesis-enabled macrocycle research.

Abstract
The first synthesis of 5,12-diamino-7,14-bis(aryl)-1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclotetradeca-5,12-diene-6,13-dicarbonitriles was performed as a multicomponent macroheterocyclization of malononitrile, aryl aldehydes, and 1,2-ethanedithiol in the presence of a catalytic amount of triethylamine in ethanol. The structures of the obtained macroheterocycles were confirmed by spectral methods, X-ray diffraction, and MALDI TOF mass spectrometry. Here we developed a selective method for the synthesis of previously unknown macrocyclic cyano and amino substituted 1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclotetradeca-5,12-dienes.![]()
