The dimers 11-18 were synthesized using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of diazido bis-beta-lactams 3, 4 and terminal alkynes 7-10 derived from cholic acid/deoxycholic acid in the presence of Cu(I) catalyst (click chemistry). These novel molecules were evaluated in vitro for their antifungal and antibacterial activity. Most of the compounds exhibited significant antifungal as well as antibacterial activity against all the tested fungal and bacterial strains. Moreover, their in vitro cytotoxicities towards HEK-293 and MCF-7 cells were also established.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.559</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bavikar, Sudhir N.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salunke, Deepak B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hazra, Braja G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pore, Vandana S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dodd, Robert H.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thierry, Josiane</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shirazi, Fazal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deshpande, Mukund V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kadreppa, Sreenath</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chattopadhyay, Samit</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Synthesis of chimeric tetrapeptide-linked cholic acid derivatives: impending synergistic agents</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bioorganic &amp; Medicinal Chemistry Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antimicrobial activity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cholic acid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytotoxicity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Synergism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tetrapeptide</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5512-5517</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Tetrapeptides derived from glycine and beta-alanine were hooked at the C-3 beta position of the modified cholic acid to realize novel linear tetrapeptide-linked cholic acid derivatives. All the synthesized compounds were tested against a wide variety of microorganisms (Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria and fungi) and their cytotoxicity was evaluated against human embryonic kidney (HEK293) and human mammary adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines. While relatively inactive by themselves, these compounds interact synergistically with antibiotics such as fluconazole and erythromycin to inhibit growth of fungi and bacteria, respectively, at 1-24 mu g/mL. The synergistic effect shown by our novel compounds is due to their inherent amphiphilicity. The fractional inhibitory concentrations reported are comparable to those reported for Polymyxin B derivatives. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
