- Controlling Plasma Stability of Hydroxamic Acids: A MedChem Toolbox
-
Hydroxamic acids are outstanding zinc chelating groups that can be used to design potent and selective metalloenzyme inhibitors in various therapeutic areas. Some hydroxamic acids display a high plasma clearance resulting in poor in vivo activity, though they may be very potent compounds in vitro. We designed a 57-member library of hydroxamic acids to explore the structure-plasma stability relationships in these series and to identify which enzyme(s) and which pharmacophores are critical for plasma stability. Arylesterases and carboxylesterases were identified as the main metabolic enzymes for hydroxamic acids. Finally, we suggest structural features to be introduced or removed to improve stability. This work thus provides the first medicinal chemistry toolbox (experimental procedures and structural guidance) to assess and control the plasma stability of hydroxamic acids and realize their full potential as in vivo pharmacological probes and therapeutic agents. This study is particularly relevant to preclinical development as it allows obtaining compounds equally stable in human and rodent models.

- Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydrocarboxylation of Olefins with Carbon Dioxide
-
The catalytic hydrocarboxylation of styrenes derivatives and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with CO2(101.3 kPa) in the presence of an air-stable rhodium catalyst was explored. The combination of [RhCl(cod)]2(cod = cyclooctadiene) as a catalyst and diethylzinc as a hydride source allowed for effective hydrocarboxylation and provided the corresponding α-aryl carboxylic acids in moderate to excellent yields. In this catalytic process with carbon dioxide, intervention of the RhI–H species, which could be generated from the RhIcatalyst and diethylzinc, was clarified. Significantly, the catalytic asymmetric hydrocarboxylation of α,β-unsaturated esters with carbon dioxide was also performed by employing a cationic rhodium complex possessing (S)-(–)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole-5,5′-diylbis(diphenylphosphine) [(S)-SEGPHOS] as a chiral diphosphine ligand. A plausible model for asymmetric induction was proposed by determination of the absolute configuration of the product.

- Substrate specificity of an esterase from the archaeon Sulfolobus tokodaii bearing a GGG(A)X motif
-
A GGG(A)X-type esterase (Est0071) from an archaeon catalyzes asymmetric hydrolysis of prochiral bulky malonic diesters in good enantioselectivity. The selectivity of Est0071 was for the opposite enantiomer to that previously shown for pig liver esterase, and the resulting enantiomeric excess of the products was higher. Est0071 could also catalyze the hydrolysis of various acetates of secondary alcohols, and showed moderate enantioselectivity in these reactions.

- An improved solvent-free system for the microwave-assisted decarboxylation of malonate derivatives based on the use of imidazole
-
A comparative study of the thermal and microwave-assisted decarboxylation of a series of mono- and disubstituted monohydrolyzed malonate derivatives has been carried out. It has been found out that in both circumstances the use of imidazole has a profound effect on the success of the reaction. In general terms the assistance of microwave irradiation accelerates the decarboxylation process significantly and, at the same time, permits the use of minored temperatures with respect to the thermal via. It has been also found that both the thermal and the microwave-assisted transformation can be developed under solvent-free conditions.

- Hydroxamates: Relationships between structure and plasma stability
-
Hydroxamates are valuable tools for chemical biology as well as interesting leads for medicinal chemistry. Although many hydroxamates display nanomolar activities against metalloproteases, only three hydroxamates have reached the market, among which is the HDAC inhibitor vorinostat. Failures in development are generally attributed to lack of selectivity, toxicity, or poor stability. To help medicinal chemists with respect to plasma stability, we have performed the first and preliminary study on structure-plasma stability for hydroxamates. We define some structural rules to predict or improve the plasma stability in the preclinical stage.
