Gatifloxacin has been associated with increased risks of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic side effects. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of gatifloxacin induced deregulation of glucose metabolism, a Combination of comparative and chemical proteomic approaches were employed using yeast as a model system. Differential protein expression studies using two dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry reveal that gatifloxacin deregulates the expression of key enzymes involved in glucose metabolism. Furthermore, affinity chromatography and LC-MSE analysis led to identification of enolase, as one of the key gatifloxacin binding proteins. Fluorescence spectrometric studies confirmed that the gatifloxacin indeed binds to enolase. Role of enolase in regulation of gatifloxacin induced dysglycemic effect is discussed.

The total and semi-synthesis of 13 new macrolactones derived from thuggacin, which is a secondary metabolite from the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum, are reported. The thuggacins have attracted much attention due to their strong antibacterial activity, particularly towards Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This study focuses on 1) thuggacin derivatives that cannot equilibrate by transacylation between the three natural thuggacins A-C, 2) the roles of the thiazole ring, and 3) the hexyl side chain at C2. Semi-synthetic O-methylation at C17 suppressed the transacylations without a substantial loss of antibacterial activity. Exchanging the C17-C25 side chain for simplified hydrophobic chains led to complete loss of antibacterial activity. Exchange of the thiazole by an oxazole ring or removal of the hexyl side chain at C2 had no substantial effect on the biological properties.
