Many reagents have emerged to study the function of specific enzymes in vitro. On the other hand, target specific reagents are scarce or need improvement, allowing investigations of the function of individual enzymes in their native cellular context. Here we report the development of a target-selective fluorescent small-molecule activity-based DUB probe that is active in live cells and an in vivo animal model. The probe labels active ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1), also known as neuron-specific protein PGP9.5 (PGP9.5) and Parkinson disease 5 (PARK5), a DUB active in neurons that constitutes 1 to 2% of the total brain protein. UCHL1 variants have been linked with neurodegenerative disorders Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. In addition, high levels of UCHL1 also correlate often with cancer and especially metastasis. The function of UCHL1 activity or its role in cancer and neurodegenerative disease is poorly understood and few UCHL1-specific activity tools exist. We show that the reagents reported here are specific to UCHL1 over all other DUBs detectable by competitive activity-based protein profiling and by mass spectrometry. Our cell-penetrable probe, which contains a cyanimide reactive moiety, binds to the active-site cysteine residue of UCHL1 in an activity-dependent manner. Its use is demonstrated by the fluorescent labeling of active UCHL1 both in vitro and in live cells. We furthermore show that this probe can selectively and spatiotemporally report UCHL1 activity during the development of zebrafish embryos. Our results indicate that our probe has potential applications as a diagnostic tool for diseases with perturbed UCHL1 activity.

A novel series of diaryl bicyclic azole-amines that are potent selective negative modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) were identified through rational design. An initial hit compound 5a of modest potency (IC50 = 1.2 μM) was synthesized. Evaluation of structure-activity relationships (SAR) on the left-hand side of the molecule revealed a preference for a 2-substituted pyridine group linked directly to the central heterocycle. Variation of the central azolo-amine portion of the molecule revealed a preference for the [4,5-c]-oxazoloazepine scaffold, while right-hand side variants showed a preference for ortho- and meta-substituted benzene rings linked directly to the tertiary amine of the saturated heterocycle. These iterations led to the synthesis of 29b, a potent (IC50 = 16 nM) and selective negative modulator that showed good brain penetrance, high receptor occupancy, and a duration of action greater than 1 h in rat when administered intraperitoneally. Formal PK studies in rat and Rhesus monkey revealed a short half-life that was attributable to high first-pass clearance.

Synthesis and biological activities of tricyclic conformationally restricted tetrahydropyrido annulated furo[2,3-d]pyrimidines as inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductases

The synthesis of seven 2,4-diamino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-7-substituted pyrido[4',3':4,5]furo[2,3-d]pyrimidines 1-6 are reported as nonclassical antifolate inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and compound 7 as a classical antifolate inhibitor of tumor cells in culture. The compounds were designed as conformationally restricted analogues of trimetrexate. The synthesis was accomplished from the cyclocondensation of 3-bromo-4-piperidone with 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine to afford regiospecifically 2,4-diamino- 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido-[4',3':4,5]furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-7-hydrobromide (16). This in turn was alkylated with the appropriate benzyl halide to afford the target compounds 1-6. The classical antifolate 7 utilized 4- (chloromethyl)benzoyl-L-glutamic acid diethyl ester (17) instead of the benzyl halide for alkylation, followed by saponification to afford 7. Compounds 1-6 showed moderate inhibitory potency against DHFR from Pneumocystis carinii, Toxoplasma gondii, Mycobacterium avium, and rat liver. The classical analogue 7 was 88-fold more potent against M. avium DHFR than against rat liver DHFR. The classical analogue was also inhibitory against the growth of tumor cells, CCRF-CEM, and FaDu, in culture.
