Studies show there is an increasing rate of fungal infections, especially in immunocompromised patients and treatments for fungal genera, such as Aspergillus, Candida, and Cryptococcus, carry significant cytotoxicity with an increasing prevalence of antifungal resistance. We have previously reported a high-throughput assay for identifying peptoids with antimicrobial properties from combinatorial libraries. Here we report the application of this assay in identifying a peptoid with antifungal properties against Cryptococcus neoformans. Termed AEC5, this peptoid has comparable potency to existing clinical antifungal agents, excellent stability, and minimal cytotoxicity in mammalian cells.

A novel class of nitroimidazole alkylsulfonamides have been prepared and evaluated as hypoxia-selective cytotoxins and radiosensitisers. The sulfonamide side chain markedly influences the physicochemical properties of the analogues: lowering aqueous solubility and raising the electron affinity of the nitroimidazole group. The addition of hydroxyl or basic amine groups increased aqueous solubility, with charged amine groups contributing to increased electron affinity. The analogues covered the range of electron affinity for effective radiosensitisation with one-electron reduction potentials ranging from -503 to -342 mV. Cytotoxicity under normoxia or anoxia against a panel of human tumour cell lines was determined using a proliferation assay. 2-Nitroimidazole sulfonamides displayed significant hypoxia-selective cytotoxicity (6 to 64-fold), while 4- and 5-nitroimidazole analogues did not display hypoxia-selective cytotoxicity. All analogues sensitised anoxic HCT-116 human colorectal cells to radiation at non-toxic concentrations. 2-Nitroimidazole analogues provided modest sensitisation due to the relatively low concentrations used while several 5-nitroimidazole analogues provided equivalent sensitisation to misonidazole and etanidazole at similar molar concentrations.
Bioactive 4-Oxoheptanedioic Monoamide Derivatives of Proteins and Ethanolaminephospholipids: Products of Docosahexaenoate Oxidation

Oxidative stress causes lipid-derived oxidative modification of biomolecules that has been implicated in many pathological states. Phospholipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acids are major targets of free radical-initiated oxidation. Phospholipids that incorporate docosahexaenoate (DHA) are highly enriched in important neural structures including the brain and retina, where DHA comprises 40% and 60% of total fatty acids, respectively. Oxidative fragmentation of 2-docosahexaenoyl-1-palmityl-sn-glycerophosphocholine generates esters of 4-hydroxy-7-oxohept-5-enoic acid (HOHA) and 4-keto-7-oxohept-5-enoic acid (KOHA) with 2-lysophosphatidylcholine, HOHA-PC, and KOHA-PC. Covalent HOHA adducts that incorporate the primary amino groups of proteins and ethanolamine phospholipids in carboxyethylpyrrole (CEP) derivatives were detected immunologically with anti-CEP antibodies in human tumors, retina, and blood. Now, we generated an anti-OHdiA antibody to test the hypothesis that KOHA adducts, which incorporate the primary amino groups of proteins or ethanolamine phospholipids in 4-oxo-heptanedioic (OHdiA) monoamide derivatives, are present in vivo. However, whereas the anti-CEP antibody is highly specific and does not cross-react with the OHdiA monoamide epitope, the anti-OHdiA monoamide antibody cross-reacted with CEP epitopes making it of little value as an analytical tool for OHdiA monoamides but suggesting the possibility that OHdiA monoamides would exhibit receptor-mediated biological activity similar to that of CEP. An LC-MS/MS method was developed that allows quantification of OHdiA derivatives in biological samples. We now find that KOHA-PC forms OHdiA monoamide adducts of proteins and ethanolamine phospholipids and that OHdiA-protein levels are significantly higher than OHdiA-ethanloamine phospholipid levels in blood from healthy human subjects, 0.45 μM and 0.18 μM, respectively (n = 3, and p = 0.027). OHdiA monoamide epitopes are angiogenic, causing TLR2-dependent adhesion and tube formation by human umbilical vein endothelial cells. OHdiA monoamide epitopes are only slightly less potent than CEP epitopes that contribute to the pathological angiogenesis of age-related macular degeneration and tumor growth.
Target-selective photodegradation of HIV-1 protease and inhibition of HIV-1 replication in living cells by designed fullerene-sugar hybrids

Sweet degradation: A designed fullerene-sugar hybrid selectively caused the degradation of HIV-1 protease, an important target of anti-HIV therapy. Degradation was achieved at irradiation with long-wavelength UV (365 nm) or visible light (diffuse sunlight) in the absence of any additives and under neutral conditions. Moreover, the hybrid inhibited HIV-1 replication in living cells infected with HIV-1.

The crystal structure of the sorafenib and B‐RAF complex indicates that the binding cavity occupied by the pyridine‐2‐carboxamide in sorafenib has a large variable space, making it a reasonable modification site. In order to identify novel compounds with anti‐cancer activity, better safety and polar groups for further application, five sorafenib analogs with new pyridine‐2‐amide side chains were designed and synthesized. Preliminary pharmacologic studies showed that these compounds displayed much lower toxicities than that of sorafenib. Among them, compound 10b bearing mercaptoethyl group kept relevant antiproliferation potency compared to sorafenib in Huh7 and Hela cell lines with values of IC50 58.79 and 63.67 μM, respectively. As a small molecule inhibitor targeting protein tyrosine kinases, thiol in compound 10b would be an active group to react with maleimide in a mild condition for forming nanoparticles Sorafenib‐PEG‐DGL, which could be developed as a delivery vehicle to improve the concentration of anti‐tumor therapeutic agents in the target cancer tissue and reduce side effects in the next study.
Route exploration and synthesis of the reported pyridone-based PDI inhibitor STK076545

The enzyme protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is essential for the correct folding of proteins and the activation of certain cell surface receptors, and is a promising target for the treatment of cancer and thrombotic conditions. A previous high-throughput screen identified the commercial compound STK076545 as a promising PDI inhibitor. To confirm its activity and support further biological studies, a resynthesis was pursued of the reported β-keto-amide with an N-alkylated pyridone at the α-position. Numerous conventional approaches were complicated by undesired fragmentations or rearrangements. However, a successful 5-step synthetic route was achieved using an aldol reaction with an α-pyridone allyl ester as a key step. An X-ray crystal structure of the final compound confirmed that the reported structure of STK076545 was achieved, however its lack of PDI activity and inconsistent spectral data suggest that the commercial structure was misassigned.
