Yamamoto K, Sato T, Hao A, Asao K, Kaguchi R, Kusaka S, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Jun; 15(1):5085. PMID: 38877016
MraY (phospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide-transferase) inhibitory natural products are attractive molecules as candidates for a new class of antibacterial agents to combat antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Structural optimization of these natural products is required to...

Bioorg Med Chem . 2022 Oct; 73:117011. PMID: 36191548
The total synthesis of capuramycin (1), which is a promising anti-tubercular antibiotics, has been accomplished using Ferrier-type I reaction as a key step. This total synthesis is an alternative approach...

Kusaka S, Yamamoto K, Shinohara M, Minato Y, Ichikawa S
Bioorg Med Chem . 2022 May; 65:116744. PMID: 35500521
It is important to understand and control the biologically active conformation in medicinal chemistry. Muraymycins and caprazamycins, which are strong inhibitors of MraY, are promising antibacterial agents with a novel...

Hattori Y, Kusaka S, Mukumoto M, Ishimura M, Ohta Y, Takenaka H, et al.
Amino Acids . 2014 Sep; 46(12):2715-20. PMID: 25173737
Boron-neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an attractive technique for cancer treatment. As such, α, α-cycloalkyl amino acids containing thiododecaborate ([B12H11](2-)-S-) units were designed and synthesized as novel boron delivery agents...

Hattori Y, Kusaka S, Mukumoto M, Uehara K, Asano T, Suzuki M, et al.
J Med Chem . 2012 Jul; 55(15):6980-4. PMID: 22788992
To develop a boron carrier for practical purposes, new boron-containing amino acids with an undecahydro-closo-dodecaboranylthio ([(10)B(12)H(11)S](2-)-) unit in the side chain of the α-amino acid have already been designed and...

Appl Radiat Isot . 2011 Apr; 69(12):1768-70. PMID: 21514832
A convenient and simple synthetic method of dodecaboratethio-L-amino acid, a new class of tumor-seeking boron carrier for BNCT, was accomplished from S-cyanoethylthioundecahydro-closo-dodecaborate (S-cyanoethyl-(10)BSH, [(10)B(12)H(11)](2-)SCH(2)CH(2)CN) and bromo-L-α-amino acids by nearly one...
