Cage amides and imides bearing bicyclo[2.2.1]- and bicyclo[2.2.2]-subunits were synthesized and evaluated both for antimicrobial activity toward five key ESKAPE pathogenic bacteria: one Gram‐positive bacteria methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 43300), four Gram‐negative bacteria Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 700603), Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 19606) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) and for antifungal activity towards pathogenic fungal strains Candida albicans (ATCC 90028) and Cryptococcus neoformans var. Grubii (H99; ATCC 208821). Compound VP-4539 with bicyclo[2.2.2]octene motif demonstrated the highest cytotoxic activity towards C. neoformans, while human keratinocytes of HaCaT line, murine fibroblasts of Balb/c 3T3 line and mitogen-activated lymphocytes of peripheral human blood were found to be tolerant to its action. VP-4539 compound did not intercalate into salmon sperm DNA indicating that its cytotoxicity is not related to intercalation into nucleic acid.

In this study, the cyanido complexes given by the formula [Ni(Abut)Ni(CN)4]·8H2O (C1), [Cu(Abut)2Ni(CN)4]·7H2O (C2), [Zn(Abut)Ni(CN)4]·8H2O (C3) and [Cd(Abut)Ni(CN)4]·7H2O (C4) were obtained by microwave synthesis method. The powder forms of the complexes were characterized by elemental, FT-IR spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. And also antibacterial, antibiofilm and anticancer activities were investigated. The splitting stretching bands of cyanido groups in the FT-IR spectra of C1-C4 indicated the assets of terminal and end cyanido groups. The antibacterial activities of C1-C4 were tested with nine Gram negative and six Gram positive bacteria. The most efficient antibacterial activity of complexes was observed at 1000 µg/ml-1 concentration. Anticancer activity was tested using HeLa cell line and MTT test. The studied cyanide complexes have been shown to decrease the viability of HeLa cells with IC50 values 14.86, 6.5, 7.2 and 19.2 µg/ml for C1, C2, C3 and C4 complex, respectively.

The antibacterial activity of 2-amino-4,6,7,8-tetrahydrothiopyrano[3,2-b]pyran-3-carbonitrile 5,5-dioxide toward five key ESKAPE pathogenic bacteria, methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 43300), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Klebsiella pneumonia (ATCC 700603), Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 19606), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) was evaluated. The antifungal activity was studied towards pathogenic fungal strains Candida albicans (ATCC 90028) and Cryptococcus neoformans var. Grubii (ATCC 208821). Compound VP-4535 bearing 5-methylindolin-2-one motif possessed the highest antibacterial activity and excellent selectivity toward methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus but was inactive against non-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain. The compound in therapeutic concentration was safe to human red blood cells, human lymphocytes, HaCaT, Balb/c 3T3 and HEK-293 cells.
