One of the causative agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is <em>Leishmania tropica</em> (<em>L. tropica</em>) known for causing ulcerative lesions on the skin. The adverse effects of the recommended available drugs, such as amphotericin B and pentavalent antimonial, and the emergence of drug resistance in parasites, mean the search for new safe and effective anti-leishmanial agents is crucial. Miltefosine (MIL) was the first recommended oral medication, but its use is now limited because of the rapid emergence of resistance. Pharmaceutical cocrystallization is an effective method to improve the physicochemical and biological properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Herein, we describe the cocrystallization of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (<strong>CU</strong>, <strong>1a</strong>; 2-oxobenzopyrane-3-carboxylic acid, C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>6</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) with five coformers [2-amino-3-bromopyridine (<strong>1b</strong>), 2-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)-pyridine (<strong>1c</strong>), 2-amino-6-methylpyridine (<strong>1d</strong>), <em>p</em>-aminobenzoic acid (<strong>1e</strong>) and amitrole (<strong>1f</strong>)] in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio via the neat grinding method. The cocrystals <strong>2</strong>–<strong>6</strong> obtained were characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis, as well as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Non-covalent interactions, such as van der Waals, hydrogen bonding, C—H⋯π and π⋯π interactions contribute significantly towards the packing of a crystal structure and alter the physicochemical and biological activity of <strong>CU</strong>. In this research, newly synthesized cocrystals were evaluated for their anti-leishmanial activity against the MIL-resistant <em>L. tropica</em> and cytotoxicity against the 3T3 (normal fibroblast) cell line.

However, current conventional electron diffraction experiments using PDF (ePDF) are limited in their ability to acquire continuous diffraction rings for large nanoparticles.

In the present work, a tilt-series of electron diffraction patterns was collected from gold nanoparticles with three different sizes and a standard sample polycrystalline aluminium film for ePDF analysis. The results show that tilt-ePDF can not only enhance the continuity of diffraction rings, but can also improve the signal-to-noise ratio in the high scattering angle range. As a result, compared with conventional ePDF data, tilt-ePDF data provide structure parameters with a better accuracy and lower residual factors in the refinement against the crystal structure.

In this paper, a new strategy is proposed based on the framework of direct methods and dual-space iteration, which can greatly simplify the pre-processing steps of predicted models both in normal and in challenging cases. Following this strategy, full-length models or the conservative structural domains could be used directly as the starting model, and the phase error and the model bias between the starting model and the real structure would be modified in the direct-methods-based dual-space iteration.

However, the spread of antibiotic resistance threatens its continued utility. In particular, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have become a pressing clinical challenge. Vancomycin acts by binding and sequestering the intermediate Lipid II in cell-wall biosynthesis, specifically recognizing a <span>d</span>-alanine-<span>d</span>-alanine dipeptide motif within the Lipid II molecule. VRE achieve resistance by remodeling this motif to either <span>d</span>-alanine-<span>d</span>-lactate or <span>d</span>-alanine-<span>d</span>-serine; the former substitution essentially abolishes recognition by vancomycin of Lipid II, whereas the latter reduces the affinity of the antibiotic by roughly one order of magnitude. The complex of vancomycin bound to <span>d</span>-alanine-<span>d</span>-serine has been crystallized, and its 1.20 Å X-ray crystal structure is presented here. This structure reveals that the <span>d</span>-alanine-<span>d</span>-serine ligand is bound in essentially the same position and same pose as the native <span>d</span>-alanine-<span>d</span>-alanine ligand. The serine-containing ligand appears to be slightly too large to be comfortably accommodated in this way, suggesting one possible contribution to the reduced binding affinity. In addition, two flexible hydroxyl groups – one from the serine side chain of the ligand, and the other from a glucose sugar on the antibiotic – are locked into single conformations in the complex, which is likely to contribute an unfavorable entropic component to the recognition of the serine-containing ligand.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14775,"journal":{"name":"IUCrJ","volume":"11 2","pages":"Pages 133-139"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10916290/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139564096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
