“…This could serve as a covalent fragment, alongside other well-known acrylamide warheads [56,57] and our previously published cyclobutenaminone fragments, which have been shown to exhibit covalent inhibition of bacterial enzymes. [58] A PMI plot was generated for the synthesised library set (Figure 3), with points labelled according to their substituent geometry (cis = triangles; trans = squares) and functional group (amine = blue; amide = green; sulfonamide = red). Interestingly, of the seven pairs of cis/trans analogues amongst the collection (10 a/11 c, 10 e/11 d, 12 a/ 13 a, 12 b/13 b, 12 e/13 d, 12 f/13 h, 12 h/13 g), there appears to be a marginally higher ΣNPR value for the trans isomer, with differences ranging from ΔΣNPR = 0.00-0.05 (mean average 0.02).…”
