Synthesis and antibacterial activity of novel 10, 11-epoxy acylide erythromycin derivatives

A series of novel acylide derivatives have been synthesized from clarithromycin A via a facile procedure. The C-3 modifications involved replacing the natural C-3 cladinosyl group in clarithromycin core with different aryl-piperzine sidechain via chemical synthesis. Meanwhile a distinctive intermediate with 10,11-epoxy moiety was obtained. The structure and stereochemistry of this novel structure were confirmed via NMR and X-ray crystallography. Potential anti-bacterial activities against both Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria were reported. Because of existence of C10,11-epoxide, these derivatives can be used as intermediates for further structural modification.     

13C NMR spectral assignment of five epimeric 3alpha- versus 3beta-functionalized cholestane pairs

(13)C NMR chemical shift assignments of five alpha- and beta- epimeric pairs of cholestanes functionalized at C-3 are presented. Empirical increment estimations proved to be a valuable tool for the unequivocal structural elucidation when compared with the chemical shift values of cholestanes derivatized by introduction of N- and S-containing groups at C-3 in equatorial and axial positions. Moreover, the possibility is demonstrated to anticipate the effect of -OC(S)R substituents at neighboring carbon atoms of the ring A backbone.

Compounds 3–5 are novel and unusual sodaricin derivatives with an ester moiety at C-6 of the sordaricin skeleton. In addition, compound 5 has a unique feature with an ester unit instead of an ether group at C-19. They were evaluated for antifungal activity against Candida albicans ATCC90028 and Cryptococcus neoformans ATCC90113.

The conformation of rifamycin S in solution by 1H NMR spectroscopy

The ¹H NMR spectra of rifamycin S in different solvents and at different temperatures strongly suggest the existence of a dominant conformer. The nine dihedral angles of the ansa chain from C-28 to C-19, considered conformationally flexible, were obtained from the vicinal interproton coupling constants by the Karplus equation and the proper alternative for each of them compares well with the corresponding values given by X-ray analysis in solid state.All the possible conformations derivable from the intrinsic alternatives of the NMR method were calculated for the ansa chain between C-28 and C-19 and, by applying geometrical considerations, such as closure of the polygonal path of the ansa and the steric incompatibility between the various atoms of the ansa and of the chromophore, only two of them appeared real. Thus, NMR spectroscopy can be used for studying the conformation of the ansa chain of rifamycins in solution.     

13C NMR spectroscopy of some third-generation cephalosporins, their synthetic intermediaries and reaction byproducts

(13)C NMR spectroscopic data for 25 cephalosporin derivatives were assigned by combination of one- and two-dimensional experiments. The effect of the substitution at C-3, C-7 and C-4 acid group positions on the chemical shifts of the cephem nucleus is discussed.     

Amphidinolides T2, T3, and T4, new 19-membered macrolides from the dinoflagellate Amphidinium sp. and the biosynthesis of amphidinolide T1.

Three new 19-membered macrolides, amphidinolides T2 (2), T3 (3), and T4 (4), structurally related to amphidinolide T1 (1) have been isolated from two strains of marine dinoflagellates of the genus Amphidinium. The structures of 2-4 were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. The absolute configurations at C-7, C-8, and C-10 of 1-4 were determined by comparison of NMR data of their C-1-C-12 segments with those of synthetic model compounds for the tetrahydrofuran portion. The biosynthetic origins of amphidinolide T1 (1) were investigated on the basis of 13C NMR data of a 13C enriched sample obtained by feeding experiments with [1-(13)C], [2-(13)C], and [1,2-(13)C2] sodium acetates and 13C-labeled sodium bicarbonate in the cultures of the dinoflagellate. These incorporation patterns suggested that amphidinolide T1 (1) was generated from four successive polyketide chains, an isolated C1 unit formed from C-2 of acetates, and three unusual C2 units derived only from C-2 of acetates. Furthermore, it is noted that five oxygenated carbons of C-1, C-7, C-12, C-13, and C-18 were not derived from the C-1 carbonyl, but from the C-2 methyl of acetates.     

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of hydroxylated bile acid stereoisomers

Carbon-13 NMR signals were assigned for the complete set of the 26 theoretically possible isomers of methyl 5β-cholanates having one to three hydroxy groups at positions C-3, C-7 and/or C-12 in the nucleus. Substituent effects on the ¹³C NMR shielding data serving to characterize the position and configuration of the hydroxy groups are discussed.     

Application of two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy to the complete analysis of the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of d-biotin in aqueous solution

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of d-biotin were observed at 400 and 100 MHz, respectively. Various types of two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy were performed to assign the spectra. The previous assignment of ¹³C NMR spectrum of d-biotin reported by Bradbury and Johnson was modified, and the dihedral angles between the C? H bonds of the ring were determined. The populations of the conformers produced by internal rotation around the C-2? C-δ bond were estimated.     

Unambiguous NMR spectral assignments of salvinorin A

The complete assignments of the (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of the hallucinogenic neoclerodane diterpenoid salvinorin A were determined in three different NMR solvents using HSQC, HMBC and COSY. Solvent systems are described that allow the resolution of all (1)H signals. Virtual coupling was observed for the protons at C-2, C-3 and C-4 in the 600 MHz (1)H spectrum in CDCl(3). The complete assignments of the (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of salvinorin B are also reported.     

The assignment of the 1H and the 13C NMR chemical shifts of N-phenyl-2,4-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene-1,4-sultam

The assignment of the signals in the ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra of N-phenyl-2,4-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene-1,4-sultam is difficult for the signal pairs C-2 and C-4, C-1 and C-3, (C-1)? H, (C-2)? CH₃ and (C-4)? CH₃. The ¹³C NMR spectrum recorded under gated decoupling conditions provide long-range couplings which make possible an unambiguous assignment of the ¹³C NMR signal pairs. Application of the ¹H CW off-resonance decoupling technique in recording the ¹³C NMR spectra enables the assignment information from the ¹³C NMR spectrum to be transferred to the ¹H NMR spectrum.

C-13 chemical shifts of the carbonyl group—VI: Transannular interactions in mesocyclic compounds

The utility of C-13 NMR in detecting transannular interactions of a carbonyl group with ? O? , ? S? and ? N? in eight-membered ring compounds has been studied. The C-13 carbonyl chemical shifts were determined in two solvents, employing frequency-sweep and pulse/Fourier transform techniques. The results confirm earlier conclusions based upon other physical methods and indicate that C-13 NMR should prove useful in studies of such interactions.
