BACKGROUND Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a major source of concern for public health. Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains are important opportunistic pathogens. These bacteria have a high resistance to a wide range of existing antimicrobials and antibiotics. OBJECTIVES The present study was performed to evaluate the frequency of KPC in P. aeruginosa isolated from clinical samples ...

THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 1(2)-amino-4(2)-(1-naphth-yl)-1,4(1,4)-dibenzenacyclo-hexa-phane], C(26)H(23)N, was synthesized from 4-amino-13-bromo-[2,2]paracyclo-phane and 1-naphthalene-boronic acid in the presence of 1,4-dioxane. It is a new cyclo-phane-derived compound which can be regarded as a prospective ligand for asymmetric synthesis and catalysis. The benzene rings of the paracy...

The [3 + 2] cycloaddition of alkynylboronates and azides provides a direct route to novel triazole boronic esters, the regioselectivity of this process and functionalisation of the heterocycle products is described.

Co-crystallization experiments of 4-halophenylboronic acid with several pharmaceutical compounds (including aciclovir, caffeine, nitrofurazone, and proline) produced new molecular complexes. The involved varying the solvent molar ratio boronic to a compound (e.g., 1:1, 2:1, 1:2). screening process for crystal phases revealed that formation different complexes was strongly influenced by presence...

The first examples of boronic acid-linked fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors for copper ions are reported; the monoboronic acid-conjugated rhodamine probe displays a highly selective fluorescent enhancement with Cu2+ among the various metal ions whereas the fluorescence of the bisboronic acid-conjugated fluorescein probe is selectively quenched by Cu2+, probably by way of a PET mechanism.

As a continuation of our work on boronic acid lectin affinity chromatography (BLAC), in this paper we introduce an automated affinity micropartitioning approach using combined boronic acid and concanavalin A (BLAC/Con A) resin-filled micropipette tips to isolate and enrich human serum glycoproteins. The N-linked oligosaccharides of the partitioned glycoproteins were removed by PNGase F enzyme d...

Many boronic acids, including 2-heterocyclic, vinyl, and cyclopropyl derivatives, are inherently unstable, which can limit their benchtop storage and/or efficient cross-coupling. We herein report the first general solution to this problem: in situ slow release of unstable boronic acids from the corresponding air-stable MIDA boronates. This remarkably general approach has transformed all three c...
