Sir: In the foregoing communications' we reported the synthesis of 4'-deoxymycaminosyl tylonolide (1a) which showed fairly strong antibacterial activity. This paper describes the syntheses of derivatives of la and of mycaminosyl tylonolide (Ib) modified at C-23. Treatment of the diethylacetal (2a) of la with acetic anhydride in acetonitrile as described previously" gave the 2'-O-acetyl derivati...

Background: N-Acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) is found to be the main component of quorum sensing (QS) in Gram-negative bacteria and plays an important role in biofilm formation. Little information is available regarding the role of AHL in biofilm formation in Escherichia coli (E. coli). The purpose of this investigation was to biochemically detect and characterize AHL activity in biofilm-forming...

Abstract Three azido‐esters based green energetic plasticizers were synthesized from their chlorides including DEGBAA (diethyleneglycol bis(azidoacetate)), DPGBAA (dipropyleneglycol bis(azidoacetate)) and HETTAA (hexanetriol tris(azidoacetate)). The syntheses carried out in a two‐step process: the first step was esterification of glycol or triol using chloroacetyl chloride, second substitution ...

metabolic myopathies are genetically inherited disorders of muscle energy production that result in skeletal muscle dysfunction. they are a large group of diseases with diverse inborn errors of metabolism, in particular muscle energy production, and including disorders of glycogen (lysosomal and non-lysosomal glycogenoses), lipid (disorders of fatty acid b-oxidation, primary carnitine deficienc...

Members of the LuxI protein family catalyze synthesis of acyl-homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) quorum sensing signals from S-adenosyl-L-methionine and an acyl thioester. Some LuxI family members prefer acyl-CoA, and others prefer acyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) as the acyl-thioester substrate. We sought to understand the evolutionary history and mechanisms mediating this substrate preference. Our ...
