- Molecular characterization of the boron adducts of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib with epigallocatechin-3-gallate and related polyphenols
-
The green tea polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) was reported to effectively antagonize the ability of Bortezomib (BZM) to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. This interaction was attributed to the formation of a covalent adduct between a phenolic moiety of EGCG with the boronic acid group of Bortezomib. However, the structural details of this boron adduct and the molecular factors that contribute to its formation and its ability to inhibit Bortezomib's activity remain unclear. This paper describes the use of NMR spectroscopy and cell assays to characterize the structures and properties of the boron adducts of EGCG and related polyphenols. The observed boron adducts included both boronate and borate derivatives, and their structural characteristics were correlated with cell-based evaluation of the ability of EGCG and other phenols to antagonize the anticancer activity of Bortezomib. The enhanced stability of the BZM/EGCG adduct was attributed to electronic and steric reasons, and a newly identified intramolecular interaction of the boron atom of BZM with the adjacent amide bond. The reported approach provides a useful method for determining the potential ability of polyphenols to form undesired adducts with boron-based drugs and interfere with their actions. This journal is

- Development and structure-activity relationship study of SHP2 inhibitor containing 3,4,6-trihydroxy-5-oxo-5H-benzo[7]annulene
-
SHP2, a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase encoded by PTPN11 gene, plays an important role in the cell growth and proliferation. Activating mutations of SHP2 have been reported as a cause of various human diseases such as solid tumors, leukemia, and Noonan syndrome. The discovery of SHP2 inhibitor can be a potent candidate for the treatment of cancers and SHP2 related human diseases. Several reports on a small molecule targeting SHP2 have published, however, there are limitations on the discovery of SHP2 phosphatase inhibitors due to the polar catalytic site environment. Allosteric inhibitor can be an alternative to catalytic site inhibitors. 3,4,6-Trihydroxy-5-oxo-5H-benzo[7]annulene 1 was obtained as an initial hit with a 0.097 μM of IC50 from high-throughput screening (HTS) study. After the structure-activity relationship (SAR) study, compound 1 still showed the most potent activity against SHP2. Moreover, compound 1 exerted good potency against SHP2 expressing 2D and 3D MDA-MB-468.

- Polyhydroxybenzoic acid derivatives as potential new antimalarial agents
-
With more than 200 million cases and 400,000 related deaths, malaria remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases of 2021. Unfortunately, despite the availability of efficient treatments, we have observed an increase in people infected with malaria since 2015 (from 211 million in 2015 to 229 million in 2019). This trend could partially be due to the development of resistance to all the current drugs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new alternatives. We have, thus, selected common natural scaffolds, polyhydroxybenzoic acids, and synthesized a library of derivatives to better understand the structure–activity relationships explaining their antiplasmodial effect. Only gallic acid derivatives showed a noticeable potential for further developments. Indeed, they showed a selective inhibitory effect on Plasmodium (IC50 ~20 μM, SI > 5) often associated with interesting water solubility. Moreover, this has confirmed the critical importance of free phenolic functions (pyrogallol moiety) for the antimalarial effect. Methyl 4-benzoxy-3,5-dihydroxybenzoate (39) has, for the first time, been recognized as a potential lead for future research because of its marked inhibitory activity against Plasmodium falciparum and its significant hydrosolubility (3.72 mM).

- Alkyl hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives that inhibit HIV-1 protease dimerization
-
The therapeutic potential of gallic acid and its derivatives as anti-cancer, antimicrobial and antiviral agents is well known. We have examined the mechanism by which natural gallic acid and newly synthesized gallic acid alkyl esters and related protocatechuic acid alkyl esters inhibit HIV-1 protease to compare the influence of the aromatic ring substitutions on inhibition. We used Zhang-Poorman's kinetic analysis and fluorescent probe binding to demonstrate that several gallic and protecatechuic acid alkyl esters inhibited HIV-1 protease by preventing the dimerization of this obligate homodimeric aspartic protease rather than targeting the active site. The tri-hydroxy substituted benzoic moiety in gallates was more favorable than the di-substituted one in protocatechuates. In both series, the type of inhibition, its mechanism and the inhibitory efficiency dramatically depended on the length of the alkyl chain: no inhibition with alkyl chains less than 8 carbon atoms long. Molecular dynamics simulations corroborated the kinetic data and propose that gallic esters are intercalated between the two N- and C-monomer ends. They complete the β-sheet and disrupt the dimeric enzyme. The best gallic ester (14 carbon atoms, Kid of 320 nM) also inhibited the multi-mutated protease MDR-HM. These results will aid the rational design of future generations of non-peptide inhibitors of HIV-1 protease dimerization that inhibit multi-mutated proteases. Finally, our work suggests the wide use of gallic and protocatechuic alkyl esters to dissociate intermolecular β-sheets involved in protein-protein interactions.

- Suppression of TNF-α induced NFκB activity by gallic acid and its semi-synthetic esters: Possible role in cancer chemoprevention
-
Gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid), found in many plants either in free-form or part of tannins, is known to possess anti-microbial, antioxidant and cytotoxic properties. NFκB regulates the expression of several genes involved in carcinogenesis. These include anti-apoptotic, cytokines and cell cycle-regulatory genes. It is well established that the transcriptional factor NFκB is deregulated in many forms of cancer. Thus, agents that can suppress NFκB activation have the potential of suppressing carcinogenesis. In the present investigation, gallic acid was isolated from Alchornea glandulosa (Euphorbiaceae) and eight esters were synthesised. These compounds were evaluated against TNF-α-induced NFκB activation with stably transfected 293/NFκB-Luc human embryonic kidney cells. Gallates with IC50 values in a range of 10-56 M mediated inhibitory activity higher than gallic acid (IC50 76.0 4.9 M). In addition to inhibiting NFκB activation, gallic acid mediated a modest cytotoxic effect, and some of the gallates affected cell viability at the tested concentrations. Based on these results, suppression of NFκB activation by gallate esters could play a chemopreventive role in carcinogenesis.
