- Conjugates of desferrioxamine and aromatic amines improve markers of iron-dependent neurotoxicity
-
Abstract: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder associated in some instances with dyshomeostasis of redox-active metal ions, such as copper and iron. In this work, we investigated whether the conjugation of various aromatic amines would improve the pharmacological efficacy of the iron chelator desferrioxamine (DFO). Conjugates of DFO with aniline (DFOANI), benzosulfanylamide (DFOBAN), 2-naphthalenamine (DFONAF) and 6-quinolinamine (DFOQUN) were obtained and their properties examined. DFOQUN had good chelating activity, promoted a significant increase in the inhibition of β-amyloid peptide aggregation when compared to DFO, and also inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity both in vitro and in vivo (Caenorhabditis elegans). These data indicate that the covalent conjugation of a strong iron chelator to an AChE inhibitor offers a powerful approach for the amelioration of iron-induced neurotoxicity symptoms.

- Rational Design of an Indolebutanoic Acid Derivative as a Novel Aldose Reductase Inhibitor Based on Docking and 3D QSAR Studies of Phenethylamine Derivatives
-
A series of 45 phenethylamine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against pig kidney aldose reductase (ALR2, EC 1.1.1.21). Their IC50 values ranged from 400 μM to 24 μM. The binding modes of compounds at the active site of ALR2 were examined using flexible docking. The results indicated that phenethylamine derivatives nicely fit into the active pocket of ALR2 by forming various hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. 3D-QSAR analysis was also conducted using FlexX-docked alignment of the compounds. The best prediction was obtained by CoMSIA combined with hydrophobic and hydrogen bond donor/acceptor field (q 2 = 0.557, r2 = 0.934). A new derivative, 4-oxo-4-(4-hydroxyindole)butanoic acid, was designed, taking into account the CoMSIA field and the binding mode derived by FlexX docking. This rationally designed compound exhibits an ALR2 inhibition with an IC50 value of 7.4 μM, which compares favorably to that of a well-known ALR2 inhibitor, tolrestat (IC50 = 16 μM) and represents a potency approximately 240-fold higher than that of an original phenethylamine lead compound, YUA001.

- Facile syntheses and characterization of hyperbranched poly(ester-amide)s from commercially available aliphatic carboxylic anhydride and multihydroxyl primary amine
-
A new method for synthesis of novel hyperbranched poly(ester-amide)s from commercially available AA′ and CBx type monomers has been developed on the basis of a series of model reactions. The hyperbranched poly(ester-amide)s with multihydroxyl end groups are prepared by thermal polycondensation of carboxyl anhydrides (AA′) and multihydroxyl primary amine (CBx) without any catalyst and solvent. The reaction mechanism in the initial stage of polymerization was investigated with in situ 1H NMR. In the initial stage of the reaction, primary amino groups of 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol (AEPO) or tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (THAM) react rapidly with anhydride, forming an intermediate which can be considered as a new ABx type monomer. Further self-polycondensation reactions of the ABx molecules produce hyperbranched polymers. Analysis using 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy revealed the degree of branching of the resulting polymers ranging from 0.36 to 0.55. These hyperbranched poly(ester-amide)s contain configurational isomers observed by 13C and DEPT 13C NMR spectroscopy, possess high molecular weights with broad distributions and display glass-transition temperatures (Tgs) between 7 and 96°C. The thermogravimetric analytic measurements revealed the decomposition temperature at 10% weight-loss temperatures (Td10%) ranging from 212 to 325°C. Among the hyperbranched poly(ester-amide)s obtained, the polymers with cyclohexyl molecular skeleton structure exhibit the lowest branching degree, the highest glass-transition temperatures, and the best thermal stability.

- Phosphonate as a Stable Zinc-Binding Group for “Pathoblocker” Inhibitors of Clostridial Collagenase H (ColH)
-
Microbial infections are a significant threat to public health, and resistance is on the rise, so new antibiotics with novel modes of action are urgently needed. The extracellular zinc metalloprotease collagenase H (ColH) from Clostridium histolyticum is a virulence factor that catalyses tissue damage, leading to improved host invasion and colonisation. Besides the major role of ColH in pathogenicity, its extracellular localisation makes it a highly attractive target for the development of new antivirulence agents. Previously, we had found that a highly selective and potent thiol prodrug (with a hydrolytically cleavable thiocarbamate unit) provided efficient ColH inhibition. We now report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a range of zinc-binding group (ZBG) variants of this thiol-derived inhibitor, with the mercapto unit being replaced by other zinc ligands. Among these, an analogue with a phosphonate motif as ZBG showed promising activity against ColH, an improved selectivity profile, and significantly higher stability than the thiol reference compound, thus making it an attractive candidate for future drug development.

- Electroselective and Controlled Reduction of Cyclic Imides to Hydroxylactams and Lactams
-
An efficient and practical electrochemical method for selective reduction of cyclic imides has been developed using a simple undivided cell with carbon electrodes at room temperature. The reaction provides a useful strategy for the rapid synthesis of hydroxylactams and lactams in a controllable manner, which is tuned by electric current and reaction time, and exhibits broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance even to reduction-sensitive moieties. Initial mechanistic studies suggest that the approach heavily relies on the utilization of amines (e.g., i-Pr2NH), which are able to generate α-aminoalkyl radicals. This protocol provides an efficient route for the cleavage of C-O bonds under mild conditions with high chemoselectivity.

- An expeditious synthesis of imides from phthalic, maleic and succinic anhydrides and chemoselective C=C reduction of maleic amide esters
-
Phthalic, maleic and succinic anhydrides have been reacted with aromatic amines to obtain the corresponding monoacid monoamides. The latter have been each transformed into the corresponding cyclic imide derivatives by treating with SOCl2. Alternatively, anhydrides have been reacted with methanolic KOH to obtain monomethyl ester derivatives which on reaction with aromatic amines in the presence of EDC. HCl and HOBt give cyclic imide derivatives. Reaction of monoacid monoamides independently, with SOCl 2 at 0-5°C give the monoamide monoester derivatives. Treatment of monoamide monoester of malic anhydride with NaBH4 leads to the unusual reduction of C=C grouping as well as the carbonyl group of the ester group to from monoamide monoalcohol of succinic anhydride. Preparation of monoamide monoalcohol of succinic anhydride can also be achieved by chemoselective reduction of monoamide monoester of malic anhydride with Mg turnings yielding monoamide monoester of succinic anhydride followed by reduction of the latter with NaBH4.

- Versatile probes for the selective detection of vicinal-dithiol-containing proteins: Design, synthesis, and application in living cells
-
Endogenous vicinal-dithiol-containing proteins (VDPs) that have two thiol groups close to each other in space play a significant importance in maintaining the cellular redox microenvironment. Approaches to identify VDPs mainly rely on monitoring the different concentration of monothiol and total thiol groups or on indirect labeling of vicinal thiols by using p-aminophenylarsenoxide (PAO). Our previous work has reported the direct labeling of VDPs with a highly selective receptor PAO analogue, which could realize fluorescence detection of VDPs directly in living cells. Herein, we developed a conjugated approach to expand detectable tags to nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD), fluorescein, naphthalimide, and biotin for the synthesis of a series of probes. Different linkers have also been introduced toward conjugation of VTA2 with these functional tags. These synthesized flexible probes with various features will offer new tools for the potential identification and visualization of vicinal dithiols existing in different regions of VDPs in living cells. These probes are convenient tools for proteomics studies of various disease-related VDPs and for the discovery of new drug targets. Copyright

- Antifungal, cytotoxic and SAR studies of a series of N-alkyl, N-aryl and N-alkylphenyl-1,4-pyrrolediones and related compounds
-
The synthesis, in vitro evaluation and SAR studies of 67 maleimides and derivatives acting as antifungal agents are reported. A detailed SAR study supported by theoretical calculations led us to determine that: an intact maleimido ring appears to be necessary for a strong antifungal activity, dissimilarly affected by the substituents in positions 2 and 3. The best activities were shown by 2,3-nonsubstituted followed by 2,3 dichloro- and 2-methyl-substituted maleimides. They all were fungicide rather than fungistatic enhancing the importance of their antifungal activity. 2,3-Dimethyl and 2,3-diphenyl-maleimides possessed marginal or null activity. The presence of a flexible connecting chain in N-phenylalkyl maleimides appears not to be essential for antifungal activity, although its length shows a correlation with the antifungal behavior, displaying maleimides with alkyl chains of n = 3 and n = 4 the best antifungal activities in most fungi. Different substituents on the benzene ring did not have a clear influence on the activity. Values of chemical potential properties as well as of energy do not sufficiently discriminate between active and inactive compounds. Nevertheless, it was found that, although log P alone is not strong enough to properly predict the antifungal activity, the comparison of its values for compounds within the same sub-type, showed an enhancement of antifungal activity along with an increment of lipophilicity. In addition, the LUMO's electronic clouds of the highly active compounds showed to be concentrated on the imido ring, indicating that their carbon atoms are potential sites for nucleophilic attack. Same results were obtained from MEPs. Most of the active compounds did not show cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines and no one possessed hemolytic activity, indicating that their activity is selective to pathogenic fungi and that they are not toxic at MIC concentrations.

- Derivatives of aryl amines containing the cytotoxic 1,4-dioxo-2-butenyl pharmacophore
-
Several series of compounds containing the 1,4-dioxo-2-butenyl moiety have been prepared as candidate cytotoxins, including the methyl N-arylmaleamates, methyl N-arylfumaramates, and N-arylmaleimides. In addition, the N-arylisomaleimides were synthesized which are the structural isomers of N-arylmaleimides. These compounds were evaluated against human Molt 4/C8 and CEM T-lymphocytes as well as murine L1210 cells. Methyl N-arylfumaramates showed the highest cytotoxic potencies and, in particular, methyl N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)fumaramate is six times more potent than melphalan towards L1210 cells and is equipotent with this drug in the Molt 4/C8 assay. Electrophilicity of compounds under investigation was demonstrated by carrying out thiolation using model benzyl mercaptan on representative compounds. Methyl N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)fumaramate and methyl N-(4-chlorophenyl)maleamate inhibited human N-myristoyltransferase, a possible molecular target, in high micromolar range. QSAR and molecular modeling revealed some correlations between different structural features of a number of the molecules and cytotoxic potencies. Methyl N-arylfumaramates were well tolerated in mice in comparison to the analogs in other series of compounds tested. The data obtained in this investigation affords guidelines for preparing new series of molecules with greater potencies.

- Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of N-substituted maleimide derivatives as selective monoglyceride lipase inhibitors
-
The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) plays a major role in many physiological processes, and its action is quickly terminated via enzymatic hydrolysis catalyzed by monoglyceride lipase (MGL). Regulating its endogenous level could offer therapeutic opportunities; however, few selective MGL inhibitors have been described so far. Here, we describe the synthesis of N-substituted maleimides and their pharmacological evaluation on the recombinant human fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and on the purified human MGL. A few N-arylmaleimides were previously described (Saario, S. M.; Salo, O. M.; Nevalainen, T.; Poso, A.; Laitinen, J. T.; Jarvinen, T.; Niemi, R. Characterization of the Sulfhydryl-Sensitive Site in the Enzyme Responsible for Hydrolysis of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol in Rat Cerebellar Membranes. Chem. Biol. 2005, 12, 649-656) as MGL inhibitors, and along these lines, we present a new set of maleimide derivatives that showed low micromolar IC50 and high selectivity toward MGL vs FAAH. Then, structure-activity relationships have been investigated and, for instance, 1-biphenyl-4-ylmethylmaleimide inhibits MGL with an IC50 value of 790 nM. Furthermore, rapid dilution experiments reveal that these compounds act as irreversible inhibitors. In conclusion, N-substituted maleimides constitute a promising class of potent and selective MGL inhibitors.

- Chemoselective acylation of amines in aqueous media
-
Amines are efficiently acylated by both cyclic and acyclic anhydrides by dissolving them in an aqueous medium with the help of a surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Cyclic and acyclic anhydrides react with equal ease with an amine, and amines with various stereo-electronic factors react at the same rates with an anhydride. Chemoselective acylation of amines in the presence of phenols and thiols and of thiols in the presence of phenols has been achieved. No acidic or basic reagents are used during the reaction. No Chromatographic separation is required for isolation of the acylated products. Reactions in a neutral aqueous medium, easy isolation of products, and innocuous by-products make the present method a green chemical process. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

- Synthesis and antimicrobial activities of N-substituted imides
-
In the field of our research programs concerning novel antimicrobial agents, a series of N-substituted imides was synthesized. These compounds were obtained by cyclization of amido-acids in acetic anhydride/sodium acetate or hexamethyldisilazane/zinc bromide for the hydroxy-aromatic derivatives. The hydroxy-alkyl maleimides were directly prepared by condensation of the corresponding amino-alcohol with maleic anhydride in boiling toluene. Most of N-substituted maleimides showed an interesting antimicrobial activity towards bacteria from the ATCC collection (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853) but the MIC values for P. aeruginosa were always high (128 μg/ml). The imides with alkyl substituents showed higher activities than aromatic analogues with MIC values in the range of 8-32 μg/ml. Comparatively, succinimides were practically inactive.

- Montmorillonite clay catalysis. Part 10. K-10 and KSF-catalysed acylation of alcohols, phenols, thiols and amines: Scope and limitation
-
Montmorillonite K-10 and KSF are highly efficient catalysts for the acetylation of a variety of alcohols, thiols, phenols and amines with acetic anhydride. Amino groups can be selectively acetylated in the presence of hydroxy groups, while the hydroxy groups can be preferentially acetylated in the presence of thiol groups. No selectivity is observed between primary and secondary hydroxy groups in the presence of K-10 and KSF. The catalysts are found not to be efficient for acetylation of tertiary alcohols. This method is simple and convenient with minimum environmental impact. The catalysts are also effective for the acylation of alcohols, thiols, phenols and amines with acetyl chloride and benzoyl chloride. Cyclic anhydrides such as succinic anhydride, maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride and p-toluene sulfonyl chloride show less reactivity than acetic anhydride and acyl chlorides.

Sialic acid derivative with active ester groups expressed with the formula [I] STR1 Where R1 denotes hydrogen or an acetyl group, R2 denotes hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, R3 denotes C2 H4, C3 H6 or C2 H2, R4 denotes an hydroxyl group, the residue left after removing hydrogen from the alcohol portion of the active ester or alkyloxycarbonyloxy group, AC denotes an acetyl group, Ph denotes an phenyl group, and X denotes oxygen or sulfur. This sialic acid derivative has high reactivity because it has active ester groups in the molecules and can be used as a raw material or intermediate for synthesis of various sialic acid derivatives.

- Borane-Methyl Sulfide Reductive Cyclization of ω-Ester Alkylamides: A Convenient Synthesis of N-Substituted Cyclic Amines
-
Borane-methyl sulfide (BMS) reduction of variously N-substituted succinamic and glutaramic esters affords the corresponding N-substituted pyrrolidines and piperidines in high yields.The limitations, mainly caused by steric hinderance around the amine nitrogen, and putative intermediates involved in this conversion, as detected by incomplete reaction and/or synthesis followed by BMS reduction, indicate that cyclization and amide reduction successfully compete with ester reduction to afford the N-substituted cyclized amines.
