    N-(Trimethylsilyl)-2-amino-5-nitrothiazole: An Efficient Reagent for the Direct Synthesis of 2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole-Based Antimicrobial Agents
    (Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2022-11) Livinghouse, Tom; Koenig, Heidi N.; Demeritte, Amethyst R.; Nelson, Genevieve P.
    Here we report the synthesis of a novel reagent designed to prepare 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole (ANT) amides and analogues in high yields. N-(Trimethylsilyl)-2-amino-5-nitrothiazole (N-(TMS)-ANT) was prepared in 99% yield via silylation of ANT using 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl), and catalytic saccharin. N-(TMS)-ANT is a superb reagent for the preparation of ANT amides in excellent yields. Notably, cyclic anhydrides and base-sensitive acyl chlorides can be utilized with N-(TMS)-ANT to furnish ANT amides that are difficult to prepare by previously reported procedures.

    Core Protein-Directed Antivirals and Importin β Can Synergistically Disrupt Hepatitis B Virus Capsids
    (American Society for Microbiology, 2022-01) Kim, Christine; Barnes, Lauren F.; Schlicksup, Christopher J.; Patterson, Angela J.; Bothner, Brian; Jarrold, Martin F.; Wang, Che-Yen Joseph; Zlotnick, Adam
    The HBV core, an icosahedral complex of 120 copies of the homodimeric core (capsid) protein with or without packaged nucleic acid, is transported to the host nucleus by its interaction with host importin proteins. Importin-core interaction requires the core protein C-terminal domain, which is inside the capsid, to “flip” to the capsid exterior.
