- Addressing the biochemical foundations of a glucose-based "trojan horse"-strategy to boron neutron capture therapy: From chemical synthesis to in vitro assessment
-
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for cancer is on the rise worldwide due to recent developments of in-hospital neutron accelerators which are expected to revolutionize patient treatments. There is an urgent need for improved boron delivery agents, and herein we have focused on studying the biochemical foundations upon which a successful GLUT1-targeting strategy to BNCT could be based. By combining synthesis and molecular modeling with affinity and cytotoxicity studies, we unravel the mechanisms behind the considerable potential of appropriately designed glucoconjugates as boron delivery agents for BNCT. In addition to addressing the biochemical premises of the approach in detail, we report on a hit glucoconjugate which displays good cytocompatibility, aqueous solubility, high transporter affinity, and, crucially, an exceptional boron delivery capacity in the in vitro assessment thereby pointing toward the significant potential embedded in this approach.

- Structure–Activity Studies of N-Butyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (NB-DNJ) Analogues: Discovery of Potent and Selective Aminocyclopentitol Inhibitors of GBA1 and GBA2
-
Analogues of N-butyl-1-deoxynojirimycin (NB-DNJ) were prepared and assayed for inhibition of ceramide-specific glucosyltransferase (CGT), non-lysosomal β-glucosidase 2 (GBA2) and the lysosomal β-glucosidase 1 (GBA1). Compounds 5 a–6 f, which carry sterically demanding nitrogen substituents, and compound 13, devoid of the C3 and C5 hydroxy groups present in DNJ/NB-DGJ (N-butyldeoxygalactojirimycin) showed no inhibitory activity for CGT or GBA2. Inversion of stereochemistry at C4 of N-(n-butyl)- and N-(n-nonyl)-DGJ (compounds 24) also led to a loss of activity in these assays. The aminocyclopentitols N-(n-butyl)- (35 a), N-(n-nonyl)-4-amino-5-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentane- (35 b), and N-(1-(pentyloxy)methyl)adamantan-1-yl)-1,2,3-triol (35 f), were found to be selective inhibitors of GBA1 and GBA2 that did not inhibit CGT (>1 mm), with the exception of 35 f, which inhibited CGT with an IC50 value of 1 mm. The N-butyl analogue 35 a was 100-fold selective for inhibiting GBA1 over GBA2 (Ki values of 32 nm and 3.3 μm for GBA1 and GBA2, respectively). The N-nonyl analogue 35 b displayed a Ki value of ?14 nm for GBA1 inhibition and a Ki of 43 nm for GBA2. The N-(1-(pentyloxy)methyl)adamantan-1-yl) derivative 35 f had Ki values of ≈16 and 14 nm for GBA1 and GBA2, respectively. The related N-bis-substituted aminocyclopentitols were found to be significantly less potent inhibitors than their mono-substituted analogues. The aminocyclopentitol scaffold should hold promise for further inhibitor development.

- Studies on the 6-homologation of β-D-idopyranosides
-
β-D-Idopyranosides are interesting sugars because of their unusual conformational flexibility in the pyranosyl ring, and also their β-1,2-cis-anomeric configuration. Here we report our studies of the regioselective opening of 4,6-O-benzylidene-protected β-D-idopyranosides under reducing conditions, and the subsequent 6-homologation via Swern oxidation and Wittig olefination to afford a 6,7-dideoxy-β-D-ido-hept-6-enopyranoside. This olefination product was found to adopt predominantly 1C4 conformation in solution by NMR experiments, which places the vinyl group at a more sterically hindered axial position and creates difficulty in subsequent hydroborations.

Iodine monochloride (ICl) was discovered to be a highly efficient, green oxidant, which can oxidize aldose hemiacetals, diarylmethanols, arylalkylmethanols, anddialkylmethanols to the corresponding aldose lactones, diarylmethanones, arylalkylmethanones, and dialkylmethanones, respectively, in high yields. ICl as a green, metal-free oxidant is characterized by mild reaction condition, short reaction time, good yield, and broad scope.

- Construction of the octose 8-phosphate intermediate in lincomycin A biosynthesis: Characterization of the reactions catalyzed by LmbR and LmbN
-
Lincomycin A is a potent antimicrobial agent noted for its unusual C1 methylmercapto-substituted 8-carbon sugar. Despite its long clinical history for the treatment of Gram-positive infections, the biosynthesis of the C 8-sugar, methylthiolincosamide (MTL), is poorly understood. Here, we report our studies of the two initial enzymatic steps in the MTL biosynthetic pathway leading to the identification of d-erythro-d-gluco-octose 8-phosphate as a key intermediate. Our experiments demonstrate that this intermediate is formed via a transaldol reaction catalyzed by LmbR using d-fructose 6-phosphate or d-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate as the C3 donor and d-ribose 5-phosphate as the C5 acceptor. Subsequent 1,2-isomerization catalyzed by LmbN converts the resulting 2-keto C8-sugar (octulose 8-phosphate) to octose 8-phosphate. These results provide, for the first time, in vitro evidence for the biosynthetic origin of the C8 backbone of MTL.

- Synthesis and evaluation of eight- and four-membered iminosugar analogues as inhibitors of testicular ceramide-specific glucosyltransferase, testicular β-glucosidase 2, and other glycosidases
-
Eight- and four-membered analogues of N-butyldeoxynojirimycin (NB-DNJ), a reversible male contraceptive in mice, were prepared and tested. A chiral pool approach was used for the synthesis of the target compounds. Key steps for the synthesis of the eight-membered analogues involve ring-closing metathesis and Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and for the four-membered analogues Sharpless epoxidation, epoxide ring-opening (azide), and Mitsunobu reaction to form the four-membered ring. (3S,4R,5S,6R,7R)-1-Nonylazocane-3,4,5,6,7-pentaol (6) was moderately active against rat-derived ceramide-specific glucosyltransferase, and four of the other eight-membered analogues were weakly active against rat-derived β-glucosidase 2. Among the four-membered analogues, ((2R,3S,4S)-3-hydroxy-1-nonylazetidine-2,4-diyl)dimethanol (25) displayed selective inhibitory activity against mouse-derived ceramide-specific glucosyltransferase and was about half as potent as NB-DNJ against the rat-derived enzyme. ((2S,4S)-3-Hydroxy-1-nonylazetidine-2,4-diyl)dimethanol (27) was found to be a selective inhibitor of β-glucosidase 2, with potency similar to NB-DNJ. Additional glycosidase assays were performed to identify potential other therapeutic applications. The eight-membered iminosugars exhibited specificity for almond-derived β-glucosidase, and the 1-nonylazetidine 25 inhibited α-glucosidase (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) with an IC50 of 600 nM and β-glucosidase (almond) with an IC50 of 20 μM. Only N-nonyl derivatives were active, emphasizing the importance of a long lipophilic side chain for inhibitory activity of the analogues studied.
