Sulfation is used in Nature to avoid toxicity and therefore marine-inspired sulfated steroids could be an interesting strategy for drug discovery. The sulfated aminosterol squalamine, isolated from the internal organs of the dogfish shark, is in phase III of clinical trials as anti-angiogenic drug [2], which evidences the potential of sulfated steroids. \u0000Sulfation of small molecules using sulfur trioxide-amine complexes entails several advantages, such as persulfation, low degradation, and feasibility in the work-up [3]. Moreover, these complexes appear to be suitable for sulfation of alcohol groups present in steroids [4]. In this direction, sulfation of four sterols was achieved using triethylamine-sulfur trioxide adduct in dimethylacetamide under heating, with yields ranging from 3% to 93%. Purification involved insolubilization with diethyl ether followed by several methods to obtain the sulfated derivatives free of inorganic impurities, including dialysis and/ or chromatographic processes. Structure elucidation of these new compounds was established by infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Biological activities will be further studied. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Acknowledgements: \u0000This work was supported through national funds provided by FCT/MCTES - Foundation for Science and Technology from the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education (PIDDAC) and European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the COMPETE Programa Operacional Factores de Competitividade (POFC) programme, under the projects PTDC/MAR-BIO/4694/2014 (reference POCI-01-0145-FEDER-016790; Project 3599–PPCDT), PTDC/AAGTEC/0739/2014 (reference POCI-01-0145-FEDER-016793; Project 9471-RIDTI) and POCI-01-0145-FEDER-028736 in the framework of the programme PT2020.

The resistance of Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the Burkholderia group to conventional antibiotics leads to therapeutic failure and requires new antibiotic therapies. The use of iron transport systems is a promising strategy to overcome this phenomenon. These TonB-dependent receptors, essential for the survival of microorganisms, allow specific recognition of ferric siderophore complexes in order to transport iron within bacteria1. Bacteria, according to their kind, express different types of receptors that allow them to recognize their endogenous siderophores but also xenosiderophores. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia pseudomallei in particular possess FptA receptors allowing the recognition of pyochelin.2 These specific systems may allow the introduction of antibacterial agents by forming antibiotic-siderophore conjugates or toxic complexes such as gallium complexes, in the bacteria to kill it. Siderophores have three types of chelating function: catechols, hydroxamates and hydroxy-carboxylates. Previous work in the laboratory has shown that piperazine 1,4-dicatechol structures (MPPS0225) could be recognized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. In order to further investigate this piperazine platform, we have synthesized iron chelators bearing 3-hydroxypyridin-4-ones and 1,3-dihydroxypyridin-4-one ligands. At the same time, we were interested in the synthesis of a more complex 2,5-dioxopiperazine platform, part of the rhodotorulic acid (RA), a natural siderophore produced by Rhodotorula pilimanae showing an interesting iron affinity (pFe = 21,8). Two RA synthesis strategies will be developed as well as the corresponding 3,6-disubstituted analogs. Through the synthesis of these chelators, we would like to study the influence, on the iron complexation, of: i) the nitrogen platform (piperazine or dioxopiperazine), ii) the presence of stereogenic centers (3,6-disubstituted dioxopiperazine vs 1,4 -disubstituted piperazines) and iii) the nature of the iron ligands (hydroxypyridinone vs catechol). An evaluation of the siderophore-like potential and a measurement of the complexing force will be carried out. \u0000We would like to thank the DGA and the Haut de France region for their financial support.\u0000References\u0000\u0000Miethke M.; Marahiel MA.

Based on the hypothesis under investigation, the researcher will choose the appropriate study design. Nevertheless, here we report the utility of combining observational and interventional studies to discover confident biomarkers in the clinical field (1). We contrasted metabolomic profiles related with diabetes and the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), a clinical test used to simulate the hyperinsulinemia observed in diabetes. We found that the main metabolic changes occur in the same metabolite classes, including energy-related metabolites, amino acids (especially brain chain amino acids, BCAA) and multiple lipids, such as free fatty acids, acyl-carnitines, triglycerides and phospholipids, among them. Hence, challenge tests such as the OGTT guarantee to be a great strategy to investigate pathological signatures associated with the development of diseases as a previous step before performing validation works in observational studies. \u0000 (1) A.
