- Design, synthesis and in vitro anti-influenza A virus evaluation of novel quinazoline derivatives containing S-acetamide and NH-acetamide moieties at C-4
-
It is an urgent need to develop more effective anti-influenza agents due to the emergence of highly pathogenic and drug-resistant influenza viruses. Herein, a series of 2,4-disubstituted quinazoline derivatives were designed, synthesized and their antiviral activities against influenza A virus were evaluated. Nine compounds (10a2, 16a, 16e, 16i, 16j, 16n, 16o, 16p and 16r) showed potent activity against influenza A virus (IAV) with IC50 at the low-micromole level (1.29–9.04 μM). Particularly, 16e and 16r possess good anti-IAV activity (IC50: 1.29 μM and 3.43 μM, respectively) and acceptable cytotoxicity, and inhibit the transcription and replication of viral RNA. Together with reasonable PK profiles of 16e, these results suggest their promising potential as candidates for further investigation.

- 6-Halo-2-pyridone as an efficient organocatalyst for ester aminolysis
-
It was found that 6-halo-2-pyridones catalysed ester aminolysis in which not only reactive aryl esters but also relatively less reactive methyl and benzyl esters could be used as a substrate. The reaction could be performed without strictly dry and anaerobic conditions and the 6-chloro-2-pyridone catalyst could be recovered quantitatively after reaction. The method could be applied to dipeptide synthesis from methyl or benzyl esters of amino acids, where a high enantiomeric purity of the products was maintained. The mechanism involving dual activation of ester and amine substrates through hydrogen bonding between catalyst and substrates is proposed where 6-halo-2-pyridones act as a bifunctional Br?nsted acid/base catalyst.

- Ammonia-borane as a Catalyst for the Direct Amidation of Carboxylic Acids
-
Ammonia-borane serves as an efficient substoichiometric (10%) precatalyst for the direct amidation of both aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids. In situ generation of amine-boranes precedes the amidation and, unlike the amidation with stoichiometric amine-boranes, this process is facile with 1 equiv of the acid. This methodology has high functional group tolerance and chromatography-free purification but is not amenable for esterification. The latter feature has been exploited to prepare hydroxyl- and thiol-containing amides.

- Single Electron Transfer-Induced Selective α-Oxygenation of Glycine Derivatives
-
Modification of amino acids is an important strategy in organic and bioorganic chemistry. In contrast to common side-chain functionalization, backbone modification is much less explored. Especially glycine units seem to be attractive and versatile since a wide range of functionality can be potentially introduced. We report here oxidative modification of glycinates that are stable and enable further functionalization. Selective glycinate enolate oxidation by TEMPO or a FeCp2PF6/TEMPO reagent combination provides stable alkoxyamines in good to excellent yields. The methodology is expanded to glycine-containing dipeptides demonstrating selective oxygenation at the glycine unit. The orthogonal reactivity potential of oxygenated glycines for transformation to other amino acid derivatives is explored.

- Catalytic dehydrative peptide synthesis with gem-diboronic acids
-
Alkane-gem-diboronic acids have emerged as versatile organoboron catalysts for dehydrative amidation of α-Amino acids. A phenol-substituted multiboron catalyst with a B-C-B structure outperformed simple arylboronic acids in the condensation of α-Amino acids with suppressed epimerization of electrophiles. gem-diboronic acid catalysis were compatible with various O, N, and S-functionalized α-Amino acids bearing N-protecting groups including common carbamates used in peptide synthesis (Boc, Cbz, Fmoc). N-Trifluoroacetyl protection enabled an unprecedented catalytic dehydrative peptide synthesis at room temperature. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed carboxylate-binding nature of gem-diboronic acids, orthogonal to the activation of carboxylic acids by arylboronic acids. The distinctive reactivity of the gem-diboronic acids would open prospects for mild catalytic peptide condensation.

- An inhibitor of fatty acid synthase thioesterase domain with improved cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells and stability in plasma
-
It is well recognized that many cancers are addicted to a constant supply of fatty acids (FAs) and exhibit brisk de novo FA synthesis. Upregulation of a key lipogenic enzyme, fatty acid synthase (FASN), is a near-universal feature of human cancers and their precursor lesions, and has been associated with chemoresistance, tumor metastasis, and diminished patient survival. FASN inhibition has been shown to be effective in killing cancer cells, but progress in the field has been hindered by off-target effects and poor pharmaceutical properties of candidate compounds. Our initial hit (compound 1) was identified from a high-throughput screening effort by the Sanford-Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics using purified FASN thioesterase (FASN-TE) domain. Despite being a potent inhibitor of purified FASN-TE, compound 1 proved highly unstable in mouse plasma and only weakly cytotoxic to breast cancer (BC) cells in vitro. An iterative process of synthesis, cytotoxicity testing, and plasma stability assessment was used to identify a new lead (compound 41). This lead is more cytotoxic against multiple BC cell lines than tetrahydro-4-methylene-2S-octyl-5-oxo-3R-furancarboxylic acid (the literature standard for inhibiting FASN), is stable in mouse plasma, and shows negligible cytotoxic effects against nontumorigenic mammary epithelial cells. Compound 41 also has drug-like physical properties based on Lipinski’s rules and is, therefore, a valuable new lead for targeting fatty acid synthesis to exploit the requirement of tumor cells for fatty acids.

- Water-Tolerant and Atom Economical Amide Bond Formation by Metal-Substituted Polyoxometalate Catalysts
-
A simple, safe, and inexpensive amide bond formation directly from nonactivated carboxylic acids and free amines is presented in this work. Readily available Zr(IV)- and Hf(IV)-substituted polyoxometalates (POM) are shown to be catalysts for the amide bond formation reaction under mild conditions, low catalyst loading, and without the use of water scavengers, dry solvents, additives for facilitating the amine attack, or specialized experimental setups commonly employed to remove water. Detailed mechanistic investigations revealed the key role of POM scaffolds which act as inorganic ligands to protect Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) Lewis acidic metals against hydrolysis and preserve their catalytic activity in amide bond formation reactions. The catalysts are compatible with a range of functional groups and heterocycles useful for medicinal, agrochemical, and material chemists. The robustness of the Lewis acid-POM complexes is further supported by the catalyst reuse without loss of activity. This prolific combination of Zr(IV)/Hf(IV) and POMs inaugurates a powerful class of catalysts for the amide bond formation, which overcomes key limitations of previously established Zr(IV)/Hf(IV) salts and boron-based catalysts.

- The structure-activity profile of mercaptobenzamides’ anti-HIV activity suggests that thermodynamics of metabolism is more important than binding affinity to the target
-
Mercaptobenzamide thioesters and thioethers are chemically simple HIV-1 maturation inhibitors with a unique mechanism of action, low toxicity, and a high barrier to viral resistance. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) profile based on 39 mercaptobenzamide prodrug analogs exposed divergent activity/toxicity roles for the internal and terminal amides. To probe the relationship between antiviral activity and toxicity, we generated an improved computational model for the binding of mercaptobenzamide thioesters (SAMTs) to the HIV-1 NCp7 C-terminal zinc finger, revealing the presence of a second low-energy binding orientation, hitherto undisclosed. Finally, using NMR-derived thiol–thioester exchange equilibrium constants, we propose that thermodynamics plays a role in determining the antiviral activity observed in the SAR profile.

- Lipase-catalyzed amidation of carboxylic acid and amines
-
The amidation reaction is of a very particular interest, especially in the pharmaceutical industry and always requires the activation of the acid with a large excess of reactants. Therefore, a large amount of waste is generated. In order to reduce the environmental impact of such reaction, we have developed enzymatic amidation conditions which are compatible with a wide range of amines and acids, in particular with the biologically relevant lipoic acid. Water is the only by-product generated during this reaction thus a very high atom economy is obtained. In addition, we have shown that the lipase can be recovered and reused several times without a significant loss of activity.

- Propargyl-Assisted Selective Amidation Applied in C-terminal Glycine Peptide Conjugation
-
Alkyl esters, such as propargyl esters, typically lack the electron-withdrawing inductive effects needed to participate in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions. Herein, we report an unusual observation in which glycine propargyl ester derivatives displayed selective, base-independent reactivity towards linear alkylamines under mild, metal-free conditions. Through global reaction route mapping (GRRM) modeling calculations, it is predicted that these observations may be governed by factors related to hydrogen-bonding and intermolecular interactions, rather than electron-withdrawing inductive effects. Based on this concept of propargyl-assisted selective amidation, a direct application was made to develop a novel site-specific C-terminal glycine peptide bioconjugation technique as a proof-of-concept, which relies upon the selective reactivity of glycine propargyl esters over that of aspartate and glutamate side-chain-linked propargyl esters.

Development of catalytic amide bond formation reactions from readily available starting materials remains a challenging task for modern organic chemistry. Herein, we report that unactivated carboxylic esters and amines react in the presence of 10 mol % of zirconocene dichloride (Cp2ZrCl2) in toluene at 110 °C to afford amides in very good to excellent conversions. The Zr-catalyzed reaction is amenable for the amidation of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic esters with primary and secondary amines. The reaction proceeds with almost complete retention of configuration for chiral esters and chiral amines.

- Significance of reagent addition sequence in the amidation of carboxylic acids mediated by PPh3 and I2
-
The outcome of the amidation reaction mediated by PPh3-I2 was found to be highly dependent on the addition sequence of the reagents. When triethylamine was subjected to a mixture containing PPh3, I2, and a carboxylic acid, acid anhydride was generated almost instantly, before treatment with an amine, presumably via an attack of carboxylate ion onto the acyl function of an acyloxyphosphonium salt. Nevertheless, when a PPh3-I2 mixture was treated with an amine, then a carboxylic acid, prior to adding the base, amide was rapidly formed in high yield with high chemoselectivity, most likely through an intermediate O,N-pentacoordinate phosphorane species as confirmed by ESI-MS technique.

The mild reaction conditions give rise to high yields of a range of amides in reaction times as short as 90 min, employing a commercial hafnium complex, [Hf(Cp)2Cl2], as catalyst. Amino acids are transformed into their corresponding amides without racemization, and the catalyst displays full selectivity for the amidation of carboxylic acids over esters. Electronic properties of the carboxylic acids were found to have a strong influence on the rate of the amidation reaction, and the need for a balanced amount of molecular sieves was observed to be highly important for optimal reaction outcome.

- In silico and pharmacological screenings identify novel serine racemase inhibitors
-
d-Serine is a coagonist of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor and its biosynthesis is catalyzed by serine racemase (SR). The overactivation of the NMDA receptor has been implicated in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, strokes, and epileptic seizures, thus, the inhibitors of SR have potential against these pathological states. Here, we have developed novel inhibitors of SR by in silico screening and in vitro enzyme assay. The newly developed inhibitors have lower IC50 value comparing with that of malonate, one of the standard SR inhibitor. The structural features of novel inhibitors suggest the importance of central amide structure having a phenoxy substituent in their structure for the SR inhibitory activity. The present findings suggest the importance and rational development of new drugs for diseases of NMDAR overactivation.

- Copper-free sonogashira cross-coupling for functionalization of alkyne-encoded proteins in aqueous medium and in bacterial cells
-
Bioorthogonal reactions suitable for functionalization of genetically or metabolically encoded alkynes, for example, copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction ("click chemistry"), have provided chemical tools to study biomolecular dynamics and function in living systems. Despite its prominence in organic synthesis, copper-free Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction suitable for biological applications has not been reported. In this work, we report the discovery of a robust aminopyrimidine-palladium(II) complex for copper-free Sonogashira cross-coupling that enables selective functionalization of a homopropargylglycine (HPG)-encoded ubiquitin protein in aqueous medium. A wide range of aromatic groups including fluorophores and fluorinated aromatic compounds can be readily introduced into the HPG-containing ubiquitin under mild conditions with good to excellent yields. The suitability of this reaction for functionalization of HPG-encoded ubiquitin in Escherichia coli was also demonstrated. The high efficiency of this new catalytic system should greatly enhance the utility of Sonogashira cross-coupling in bioorthogonal chemistry.

- New bidentates as full inhibitors of enkephalin-degrading enzymes: Synthesis and analgesic properties
-
New compounds were designed to fully inhibit the in vitro metabolism of enkephalins, ensured by three different metallopeptidases. For this purpose, bidentate ligands as hydroxamate and N-hydroxy-N-formylamino groups were selected as highly potent metal coordinating agents and introduced on Phe-Gly and Phe-Ala related structures. Compounds corresponding to the general formula HC(O)N(OH)CH2CH(CH2Ph)CONHCH2COOH (compound 7) and HN(OH)C(O)CH2CH(CH2Ph)CONHCH(R)COOH (compound 11, R = H; compound 13, R = CH3) behave as full inhibitors of the three enzymes, with IC50's in the nanomolar range for enkephalinase, from 0.3 μM to 1 nM for dipeptidylaminopeptidase, and in the micromolar range for a biologically relevant aminopeptidase. Two diastereoisomers of the most active inhibitor 13 were separated by HPLC and their stereochemistry was assigned by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Both isomers were efficient as enkephalinase blockers, but only the RS isomer, designated kelatorphan, was able to strongly inhibit aminopeptidase and dipeptidylaminopeptidase. Intracerebroventricular injection in mice of these mixed inhibitors, especially kelatorphan, led to naloxone reversible analgesic responses (hot-plate test) that were slightly better than those produced by a mixture of thiorphan and bestatin, two potent inhibitors of enkephalinase and aminopeptidase, respectively. Kelatorphan was also more efficient in potentiating the analgesia induced by a subanalgesic dose of Met-enkephalin. All these results support a physiological role in pain transmission for enkephalinase and a probably synaptic aminopeptidase M.
