Asymmetric synthesis and antimicrobial activity of some new mono and bicyclic beta-lactams

Reaction of the amino acid D-phenylalanine ethyl ester (4) with cinnamaldehyde gave chiral Schiff base 5, which underwent an asymmetric Staudinger [2+2] cycloaddition reaction with phthalimidoacetyl chloride to give the monocyclic beta-lactam 6 as a single stereoisomer. Ozonolysis of 6 followed by reduction with lithium aluminum tri(tert-butoxy) hydride afforded the hydroxymethyl beta-lactam 8. Treatment of 8 with methansulfonyl chloride gave the mesylated monocyclic beta-lactam 9, which was converted to the bicyclic beta-lactam 10 upon treatment with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU). Deprotection of the phthalimido group in beta-lactams 6 and 10 by methylhydrazine and subsequent acylation of the free amino beta-lactams with different acyl chlorides in the presence of pyridine afforded mono and bicyclic beta-lactams 14a-d and 15a-d respectively. The compounds prepared were tested against Escherichia coli, Staphilococcus citrus, Klebsiella pneumanie and Bacillus subtillis. Some of these compounds showed potential antimicrobial activities.

Synthesis of new sugar-based surfactants and evaluation of their hemolytic activities

The synthesis of four sugar-based surfactants derived from glucose and (R)-12-hydroxystearic acid is described. The surfactants have a hydroxy group in the hydrophobic part, which is either free or acylated using acetyl chloride, hexanoyl chloride, or myristoyl chloride. Three of the synthesized surfactants are water-soluble and are evaluated with respect to their CMCs and hemolytic activities. The fourth surfactant has limited water solubility and is not further included in the study. The investigated surfactants are all hemolytic close to their respective CMC indicating that their use in parenteral formulations may be limited. Nevertheless, surfactants having the proposed structure appear as promising alternatives to existing solubilizing agents for pharmaceutical applications.
