This paper discusses the racemic and stereoselective synthetic route for novel 4'α -methyl and 6'α -methyl analogues of abacavir. The quaternary carbon at the 4'-position of carbocyclic nucleoside was installed successfully via a Claisen rearrangement. The stereocontrolled construction of a methyl group in the 6'α - position was directed through the Felkin-Anh rule. A Bis-vinyl compound 9 was cyclized successfully using Grubbs' catalyst II to provide a carbocycle nucleus for the target compound. The synthesized compound 15 showed moderate anti-HIV activity (EC50 = 10.67 μM, MT-4 cell lines).

White birch bark is being called baekhwapi usually and is used urination, travail, removal of fever in Oriental medicine. Betulin had been known as main chemistry ingredient of white birch bark. So, in an experiment that see betulin and connection inorganic compounds separation and enforced to recognize antioxidative activity and anti HIV. Betulin's yield separated vast quantity for the first time in Korea by 6.9%, and 3,4-dihydrobenzoic acid in ethylacetate soluble as experiment result. Wish to utilize betulin connection derivative as each kind experiment sample ore because do composition making since.

Prodigiosin, a member of natural red pigment family, is produced by Serratia marcescens, and characterized by a common pyrrolylpyrromethane skeleton. This pigment has been reported with the effects of anticancer, immunosuppressant, antifungal, and algicidal activities. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of hospital infections. In this study, anti-MRSA properties of prodigiosin isolated from Serratia sp. PDGS 120915 were investigated. We identified and purified prodigiosin using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and evaluated anti-MRSA activity. Purified prodigiosin inhibited the growth of MRSA. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of prodigiosin were determined to $32{\mu}g/ml$ against the MRSA strains. Fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indices of ampicillin and penicillin were indicated synergistic effects of prodigiosin on MRSA.
