- Discovery of Salidroside-Derivated Glycoside Analogues as Novel Angiogenesis Agents to Treat Diabetic Hind Limb Ischemia
-
Therapeutic angiogenesis is a potential therapeutic strategy for hind limb ischemia (HLI); however, currently, there are no small-molecule drugs capable of inducing it at the clinical level. Activating the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway in skeletal muscle induces the secretion of angiogenic factors and thus is an attractive therapeutic angiogenesis strategy. Using salidroside, a natural glycosidic compound as a lead, we performed a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study for developing a more effective and druggable angiogenesis agent. We found a novel glycoside scaffold compound (C-30) with better efficacy than salidroside in enhancing the accumulation of the HIF-1α protein and stimulating the paracrine functions of skeletal muscle cells. This in turn significantly increased the angiogenic potential of vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells and, subsequently, induced the formation of mature, functional blood vessels in diabetic and nondiabetic HLI mice. Together, this study offers a novel, promising small-molecule-based therapeutic strategy for treating HLI.

- From Stoichiometric Reagents to Catalytic Partners: Selenonium Salts as Alkylating Agents for Nucleophilic Displacement Reactions in Water
-
The ability of chalcogenium salts to transfer an electrophilic moiety to a given nucleophile is well known. However, up to date, these reagents have been used in stoichiometric quantities, producing a substantial amount of waste as byproducts of the reaction. In this report, we disclose further investigation of selenonium salts as S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) surrogates for the alkylation of nucleophiles in aqueous solutions. Most importantly, we were able to convert the stoichiometric process to a catalytic system employing as little as 10 mol % of selenides to accelerate the reaction between benzyl bromide and other alkylating agents with sodium cyanide in water. Probe experiments including 77Se NMR and HRMS of the reaction mixture have unequivocally shown the presence of the selenonium salt in the reaction mixture. (Figure presented.).

- Beyond the affinity for protein kinase C: Exploring 2-phenyl-3-hydroxypropyl pivalate analogues as C1 domain-targeting ligands
-
Over the past fifteen years, we reported the design and synthesis of different series of compounds targeting the C1 domain of protein kinase C (PKC) that were based on various templates. Out of the pivalate templates, 2-[4-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-3-hydroxypropyl pivalate (compound 1) emerged as the most potent and promising PKCα ligand, showing a Ki value of 0.7 μM. In the present contribution our efforts are aimed at better understanding which structural modifications of the pivalate template are allowed for its affinity to the C1 domain of PKC to be preserved or increased. To this aim, thirteen novel analogues of 1 were designed and their interaction with the target was evaluated in silico. Designed compounds were then prepared and fully characterized as well as their affinity for the α and δ isoforms of PKC evaluated. Additionally, in order to investigate the role of chirality in the ligand-target interaction, the pure enantiomers of the most interesting PKC ligands were prepared and their affinity for PKC isoforms was determined. Results from our study revealed that: i) the presence of the ester function seems to be essential for the ligand-target interaction; ii) only a few structural modifications at the ester group are allowed for the C1 domain affinity to be preserved; and iii) the [3H]PDBu replacement experiments showed that the C1 domain of PKC does not exhibit enantiopreference for the pure stereoisomers of tested compounds. Altogether our observations provide further insights into the ligand-target interactions of the PKC C1 domain and represent a step-forward in future development of more specific and effective PKC ligands.

- Antihyperglycemic activity of novel substituted 3H-1,2,3,5-oxathiadiazole 2-oxides
-
A series of substituted 3H-1,2,3,5-oxathiadiazole-2-oxides (6) was prepared and tested for antihyperglycemic activity in the db/db mouse, a model for type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus. The oxathiadiazoles 6 were synthesized by a two-step sequence: treatment of a substituted acetonitrile (4) with hydroxylamine to give the corresponding amidoxime (5) and cyclization with thionyl chloride to yield 6. In terms of potency, the 2-naphthalenylmethyl group (as in compound 3) was found to be the optimal substituent in this series. Compound 3 was approximately 5 times more potent than ciglitazone (1).
