“…Since the isolation of chlortetracycline (2, aureomycin) from Streptomyces aureofaciens in 1948, 1 the tetracycline family of broad-spectrum antibiotics has served as essential medicines for the treatment of bacterial infections in hospital and agricultural settings ( Figure 1). 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Driven by challenges with stability, toxicity, and rising antibiotic resistance, the development of more effective, semisynthetic tetracycline variants has led to the introduction of next-generation tetracycline antibiotics tailored to overcome emerging resistance mechanisms. 9,10,11,12 In this regard, the majority of current treatment strategies employ the use of second-generation C6-deoxy-tetracyclines (i.e.…”

The synthesis and biological evaluation of semisynthetic anhydrotetracycline analogues as small molecule inhibitors of tetracycline-inactivating enzymes are reported. Inhibitor potency was found to vary as a function of enzyme (major) and substrate-inhibitor pair (minor), and anhydrotetracycline analog stability to enzymatic and non-enzymatic degradation in solution contributes to their ability to rescue tetracycline activity in whole cell E. coli expressing tetracycline destructase enzymes. Taken collectively, these results provide the framework for the *

“…The authors also argue that explanations that do not account for Trump's unpredictability as a foreign policy doctrine do so because the usual interpretation of a what a "doctrine" means is deeply tied to the rational actor model and, as such, cannot comprehend Trump's erratic style and transactional approach David, 2021). Daghrir (2020b) argues that the unpredictability in Trump's foreign policy is a product of Trump's personality. As a president with no prior political or military experience, Trump ran the presidency according to the characteristics that made him a successful businessman and entrepreneur: spontaneity, unpredictability, informality, improvisation, and many others.…”

“…To summarize the discussions in this section, Daghrir (2020a) explains that the Trumpian world of uncertainty prevails through three major more or less contradictory perceptions: First, foreign affairs under the Trump administration are guided by a "Trump Doctrine" characterized by pragmatism, realism and an "America First" worldview. Second, as opposite to the first perception, American foreign policy under Trump is populist, inconsistent, ambiguous, confusing, and dangerous, thus, refuting the idea of a "Trump Doctrine."…”

Understanding Donald Trumps inconsistent foreign policy through psychological assessments: the case of North Korea

This thesis is dedicated to an analysis of the Trump administration's foreign policy, which is widely understood as inconsistent and incoherent. In order to understand these characteristics, I hypothesize that the Trump administration's foreign policy was inconsistent and incoherent because it was deeply influenced by the president's personality. To build this analysis, I first outline the absence of a Trump Grand Strategy or a Trump Doctrine, or any type of guiding principle that could comprehensively explain the Trump administration's foreign policy. Out of the few distinguishable patterns in Trump's international behavior, this thesis explores his populist approach and his centralization of decision-making processes, strengthening the argument that Trump's personal traits might have played an important role in his foreign policy. To test the outlined hypothesis, I draw on Leadership Trait Analysis' assumptions and methods, assessing Trump's personality through at-a-distance content analysis. Drawing on the literature on leadership styles, I draw hypotheses about Trump's foreign policy decisionmaking behavior from his personal traits and compare these with his actual behavior regarding North Korea, which was the selected case for analysis. Results show that the hypotheses drawn from Trump's personality are consistent with his actual foreign policy behavior in U.S diplomacy towards North Korea, which allows us to understand Trump's personal characteristics as causal mechanisms in his decision-making process in this case. In that sense, the inconsistency and incoherence of his foreign policy could be understood as the result of a sum of foreign policy issues that were not strongly defined by ideology or strategy, but were highly influenced by the president's personal characteristics.
