- Thermal proteome profiling efficiently identifies ribosome destabilizing oxazolidinones
-
Identifying the targets of bioactive small molecules is a challenging endeavor for which no general solution currently exists. Classical affinity purification experiments suffer from the need to functionalise a bioactive compound and link it to a solid support, which may interfere with target binding. A modern mass spectrometry-based proteomics technique that has partially circumvented this problem is thermal proteome profiling (TPP), which determines the effect of an unmodified small molecule on the thermal stability of the whole proteome simultaneously. Here, we use TPP to identify the mode-of-action of a newly-discovered autophagy inhibitor based on oxazolidinones often employed as chiral auxiliaries. Surprisingly, a significant portion of all ribosomal proteins were found to be destabilized by the inhibitor, highlighting the utility of this technology for determining a challenging mode-of-action.

- Conformational preference in bis(porphyrin) tweezer complexes: A versatile chirality sensor for α-chiral carboxylic acids
-
Metallated porphyrin tweezers have demonstrated a remarkable ability to function as reporters of absolute stereochemistry for a number of different classes of organic molecules. Flexibility in binding, however, can result in an ensemble of different Exciton Coupled Circular Dichroism (ECCD) active conformations that could lead to variable results. Linker flexibility was found to be a key determinant of binding conformation. Experimental results indicate that a balance between linker flexibility and rigidity could yield an optimum porphyrin tweezer that stabilizes a common conformation for all bound chiral guests. This leads to a more simplified approach to absolute stereochemical determination of asymmetry for small organic molecules. This was demonstrated by the use of a C3-linked zincated porphyrin tweezer that yields a common conformational preference for a variety of α-chiral carboxylic acids derivatized with a diamine carrier.

- Asymmetric synthesis of (-)-eburnamonine and (+)-epi-eburnamonine from (4s)-4-ethyl-4-[2-(hydroxycarbonyl)ethyl]-2-butyrolactone
-
The key chiral nonracemic 4,4-disubstituted 2-butyrolactone carboxylic acid, (S)-4, is readily accessible via an efficient and stereospecific dirhodium(II) tetraacetate catalyzed tertiary C-H insertion reaction of the diazomalonate (S)-5. The coupling of the acid (S)-4 with tryptamine produces the amide (S)-3, which is then transformed into the aldehyde 23 and hydroxy-lactam 24. Acid-mediated Pictet-Spengler cyclization of 23 and 24 produces the tetracyclic indole lactams (1S,-12bS)-25a and (1S,12bR)-25b. Compounds 25a and 25b are converted, via the lactam alcohols 30a and 30b, to (-)-eburnamonine (1a) and (+)-epi-eburnamonine (1b).
