https://www.selleckchem.com/products/pf-03084014-pf-3084014.html Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacterium that causes infections in patients suffering from chronic granulomatous diseases and cystic fibrosis. It displays significant morbidity and mortality due to extreme resistance to almost all clinically useful antibiotics. The bacterial lectin BC2L-C expressed in B. cenocepacia is an interesting drug target involved in bacterial adhesion and subsequent deadly infection to the host. We solved the first high resolution crystal structure of the apo form of the lectin N-terminal domain (BC2L-C-nt) and compared it with the ones complexed with carbohydrate ligands. Virtual screening of a small fragment library identified potential hits predicted to bind in the vicinity of the fucose binding site. A series of biophysical techniques and X-ray crystallographic screening were employed to validate the interaction of the hits with the protein domain. The X-ray structure of BC2L-C-nt complexed with one of the identified active fragments confirmed the ability of the site computationally identified to host drug-like fragments. The fragment affinity could be determined by titration microcalorimetry. These structure-based strategies further provide an opportunity to elaborate the fragments into high affinity anti-adhesive glycomimetics, as therapeutic agents against B. cenocepacia.Bis(1-(4-tolyl)-carboran-2-yl)-(4-tolyl)-borane [(1-(4-MeC6 H4 )-closo-1,2-C2 B10 H10 -2-)2 (4-MeC6 H4 )B] (1), a new bis(o-carboranyl)-(R)-borane was synthesised by lithiation of the o-carboranyl precursor and subsequent salt metathesis reaction with (4-tolyl)BBr2 . Cyclic voltammetry experiments on 1 show multiple distinct reduction events with a one-electron first reduction. In a selective reduction experiment the corresponding paramagnetic radical anion 1.- was isolated and characterized. Single-crystal structure analyses allow an in-depth comparison of 1, 1.- , their calc
