Article Abstract
Both atropisomers of 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)quinazolin-4-one derivatives were prepared through optical resolution based on the formation of diastereomers with ()-lactoyl chiral pool. Their rotational stabilities in solution depended to a considerable extent on which solvent was used. In alcohol and DMSO solvents, higher rotational stability was observed. This fact can be attributed to relatively strong solvation through an intermolecular hydrogen bond over an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxy hydrogen and the carbonyl oxygen. Furthermore, it was revealed that the anti-MRSA activity of the ()-atropisomer is 16-fold more potent than that of the ()-atropisomer.

A novel isatin-thiazole-coumarin hybrid and three isatin-hydantoin hybrids were synthesized and assessed for their α-glucosidase and anticholinesterase inhibitory activities. Moreover, their anticancer properties have been observed against the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. The coumarin-containing hybrid exhibited the most potent biological activity across all assays.

With the continued upsurge of antibiotic resistance and reduced susceptibility to almost all frontline antibiotics, there is a pressing need for the development of new, effective, and safe alternatives. In this study, a scaffold-hopping strategy was utilized to develop a novel class of penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a) inhibitors, centered around a 4H-chromen-4-one core structure. These newly designed compounds demonstrated strong antibacterial efficacy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other drug-resistant gram-positive pathogens.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major global health threat owing to its multi-drug resistance, creating an urgent need for novel antibiotics. This study focused on developing anti-MRSA agents by designing and synthesizing 30 xanthotoxin-pyridine quaternary ammonium derivatives, followed by evaluating their antibacterial activity and dissecting their mechanism of action against MRSA. Among all derivatives, III13 demonstrated as the most promising candidate: it exhibited potent anti-MRSA activity (MIC = 1 μg/mL), low cytotoxicity, minimal hemolysis, rapid bactericidal effects, and the ability to disrupt biofilms.

This work developed a class of unique benzopyronyl imidazolidinediones (BIs) as new structural skeleton of potential multitargeting antibacterial agents to confront dreadful Staphylococcus aureus infections. Some target compounds exhibited effective antibacterial activities against the tested strains. Especially, butyl BI 6c and 5-hydroxy BI 26d exerted excellent inhibitory activity toward Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and MRSA 43300 with a low MIC value of 0.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to challenge wound care due to its strong biofilm-forming ability and resistance to conventional antibiotics. In this study, we developed a novel multifunctional hydrogel by incorporating citronellol, a bioactive monoterpenoid, into a carboxymethyl chitosan-hyaluronic acid (CMCS-HA) matrix, yielding a biocompatible platform with potent anti-MRSA activity. Unlike many previous phytocompound-based hydrogels, our work provides in-depth mechanistic insights into citronellol's antibacterial and antivirulence actions through proteomics coupled with STRING network analysis.
