- 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.

- Synthesis and Bioactivity of a Macrocidin B Stereoisomer
-
A stereoisomer of macrocidin B, a presumed metabolite of the fungus Phoma macrostoma, was synthesized in 18 steps and 2.7% yield from protected l-tyrosine that was N-β-ketoacylated with a fully functionalized octanoyl Meldrum's acid. Dieckmann condensation gave a 3-acyltetramic acid, which was macrocyclized via Williamson etherification between the phenol and epi-bromohydrin termini. This macrocidin B stereoisomer showed a weaker herbicidal effect than macrocidin A and no similar inhibitory effect on biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus.

- Ring-closing metathesis approaches towards the total synthesis of rhizoxins
-
Efforts are described towards the total synthesis of the bacterial macrolide rhizoxin F, which is a potent tubulin assembly and cancer cell growth inhibitor. A significant amount of work was expanded on the construction of the rhizoxin core macrocycle by ring-closing olefin metathesis (RCM) between C(9) and C(10), either directly or by using relay substrates, but in no case was ringclosure achieved. Macrocycle formation was possible by ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) at the C(9)/C(10) site. The requisite diyne was obtained from advanced intermediates that had been prepared as part of the synthesis of the RCM substrates. While the direct conversion of the triple bond formed in the ring-closing step into the C(9)-C(10) E double bond of the rhizoxin macrocycle proved to be elusive, the corresponding Z isomer was accessible with high selectivity by reductive decomplexation of the biscobalt hexacarbonyl complex of the triple bond with ethylpiperidinium hypophosphite. Radical-induced double bond isomerization, full elaboration of the C(15) side chain, and directed epoxidation of the C(11)-C(12) double bond completed the total synthesis of rhizoxin F.

- Novel chiral stationary phases based on 3,5-dimethyl phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin combining cinchona alkaloid moiety
-
Novel chiral selectors based on 3,5-dimethyl phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin connecting quinine (QN) or quinidine (QD) moiety were synthesized and immobilized on silica gel. Their chromatographic performances were investigated by comparing to the 3,5-dimethyl phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) chiral stationary phase (CSP) and 9-O-(tert-butylcarbamoyl)-QN-based CSP (QN-AX). Fmoc-protected amino acids, chiral drug cloprostenol (which has been successfully employed in veterinary medicine), and neutral chiral analytes were evaluated on CSPs, and the results showed that the novel CSPs characterized as both enantioseparation capabilities of CD-based CSP and QN/QD-based CSPs have broader application range than β-CD-based CSP or QN/QD-based CSPs. It was found that QN/QD moieties play a dominant role in the overall enantioseparation process of Fmoc-amino acids accompanied by the synergistic effect of β-CD moiety, which lead to the different enantioseparation of β-CD-QN-based CSP and β-CD-QD-based CSP. Furthermore, new CSPs retain extraordinary enantioseparation of cyclodextrin-based CSP for some neutral analytes on normal phase and even exhibit better enantioseparation than the corresponding β-CD-based CSP for certain samples.

We recently reported a new C3-symmetric (R)-phenylglycinol N-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid-derived chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) stationary phase (CSP 1) that demonstrated better results as compared to a previously described N-3,5-dintrobenzoyl (DNB) (R)-phenylglycinol-derived CSP. Over a decade ago, (S)-leucinol, (R)-phenylglycine, and (S)-leucine derivatives were used as the starting materials of 3,5-DNB-based Pirkle-type CSPs for chiral separation. In this study, three new C3-symmetric CSPs (CSP 2, 3, and 4) were prepared by combining the ideas and results mentioned above. Here we describe the synthetic procedures and applications of the new C3-symmetric CSPs (CSP 2–CSP 4).

- Stapled Peptides with γ-Methylated Hydrocarbon Chains for the Estrogen Receptor/Coactivator Interaction
-
"Stapled" peptides are typically designed to replace two non-interacting residues with a constraining, olefinic staple. To mimic interacting leucine and isoleucine residues, we have created new amino acids that incorporate a methyl group in the γ-position of the stapling amino acid S5. We have incorporated them into a sequence derived from steroid receptor coactivator2, which interacts with estrogen receptorα. The best peptide (IC50=89nm) replaces isoleucine689 with an S-γ-methyl stapled amino acid, and has significantly higher affinity than unsubstituted peptides (390 and 760nm). Through X-ray crystallography and molecular dynamics studies, we show that the conformation taken up by the S-γ-methyl peptide minimizes the syn-pentane interactions between the α- and γ-methyl groups.

Modular polyketide synthase ketoreductases can set two chiral centers through a single reduction. To probe the basis of stereocontrol, a structure-activity relationship study was performed with three α-methyl, β-ketothioester substrates and four ketoreductases. Since interactions with the β-ketoacyl moiety were found to be most critical, residues implicated in contacting this moiety were mutated. Two mutations were sufficient to completely reverse the stereoselectivity of the model ketoreductase EryKR1, converting it from an enzyme that generates (2S,3R)-products into one that yields (2S,3S)-products.

Interestingly, among the six tumor cell lines investigated, torrubiellone C was found to induce potent and apoptotic inhibitory activities on Jurkat T cells with IC50 values of 7.05 μM.

A highly convergent total synthesis of the potent polyketide macrolide rhizopodin has been achieved in 29steps by employing a concise strategy that exploits the molecule′s C2 symmetry. Notable features of this convergent approach include a rapid assembly of the macrocycle through a site-directed sequential cross-coupling strategy and the bidirectional attachment of the side chains by means of Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) coupling reactions. During the course of this endeavor, scalable routes for synthesis of three main building blocks of similar complexity were developed that allowed for their stereocontrolled construction. This modular route will be amenable to the development of syntheses of other analogues of rhizopodin.

- Design and synthesis of the stabilized analogs of belactosin A with the unnatural cis-cyclopropane structure
-
The belactosin A analog 2a, having the unnatural cis-cyclopropane structure instead of the trans-cyclopropane structure in belactosin A, is a much more potent proteasome inhibitor than belactosin A. However, its cell growth inhibitory effect is rather lower than that expected from its remarkable proteasome inhibitory effect, probably due to its instability under cellular conditions. We hypothesized that the instability of 2a was due to chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis of the strained β-lactone moiety. Thus, to increase the stability of 2a by chemical modification, its analogs with a sterically more hindered β-lactone moiety and/or cyclopropylic strain-based conformational restriction were designed and synthesized, resulting in the identification of a stabilized analog 6a as a proteasome inhibitor with cell growth inhibitory effects. Our findings suggest that the chemical and biological stability of 2a is significantly affected by the steric hindrance around its β-lactone carbonyl moiety and the conformational flexibility of the molecule.

- A biomimetic polyketide-inspired approach to small-molecule ligand discovery
-
The discovery of new compounds for the pharmacological manipulation of protein function often embraces the screening of compound collections, and it is widely recognized that natural products offer beneficial characteristics as protein ligands. Much effort has therefore been focused on 'natural product-like' libraries, yet the synthesis and screening of such libraries is often limited by one or more of the following: modest library sizes and structural diversity, conformational heterogeneity and the costs associated with the substantial infrastructure of modern high-throughput screening centres. Here, we describe the design and execution of an approach to this broad problem by merging principles associated with biologically inspired oligomerization and the structure of polyketide-derived natural products. A novel class of chiral and conformationally constrained oligomers is described (termed 'chiral oligomers of pentenoic amides', COPA), which offers compatibility with split-and-pool methods and can be screened en masse in a batch mode. We demonstrate that a COPA library containing 160,000 compounds is a useful source of novel protein ligands by identifying a non-covalent synthetic ligand to the DNA-binding domain of the p53 transcription factor.

- Synthesis and conformation of fluorinated β-peptidic compounds
-
Experimental and theoretical data indicate that, for α-fluoroamides, the F-C-C(O)-N(H) moiety adopts an antiperiplanar conformation. In addition, a gauche conformation is favoured between the vicinal C-F and C-N(CO) bonds in N-β-fluoroethylamides. This study details the synthesis of a series of fluorinated β-peptides (1-8) designed to use these stereoelectronic effects to control the conformation of β-peptide bonds. X-ray crystal structures of these compounds revealed the expected conformations: with fluorine β to a nitrogen adopting a gauche conformation, and fluorine α to a C=O group adopting an antiperiplanar conformation. Thus, the strategic placement of fluorine can control the conformation of a β-peptide bond, with the possibility of directing the secondary structures of β-peptides. Copyright

- β N-O turns and helices induced by β2-aminoxy peptides: Synthesis and conformational studies
-
Herein, we report an efficient route for the asymmetric synthesis of β2-aminoxy acids as well as experimental and theoretical studies of conformations of peptides composed of β2-aminoxy acids. The nine-membered-ring intramolecular hydrogen bonds, namely, β N-O turns, are generated between adjacent residues in those peptides, in accordance with our computational results. The presence of two consecutive homochiral β N-O turns leads to the formation of β N-O helical structures in solution, although both helical (composed of two β N-O turns of the same handedness) and reverse-turn (composed of two β N-O turns with opposite handedness) structures are of similar stability, as suggested by theoretical studies. Nevertheless, two slightly different conformations, with the same handedness, of β2-aminoxy monomers have been observed in the solid state and in solution according to our X-ray and 2D NOESY studies.

- Conformationally restricted analogs of the direct thrombin inhibitor FM 19
-
The serine protease thrombin plays several key roles in the clotting cascade within the hemostatic system, such as in fibrin formation and platelet activation. Thus, development of an inhibitor that binds to the enzyme's active site (a direct thrombin inhibitor) offers an approach for the treatment of thrombus-associated diseases. Previous structure-activity relationship studies originally based on the bradykinin breakdown product Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe (RPPGF) led to the development of lead compound FM 19 (d-Arg-Oic-Pro-d-Ala-Phe(p-Me)- NH2). The recently determined X-ray structure of FM 19 in the active site of thrombin has revealed sites of modification to potentially improve inhibition. In this study, we report the synthesis and biological characterization of nine peptides that replace only the d-Arg residue of the FM 19 sequence, investigating ways to add conformational restriction, modification of the basic moiety at the end of the side chain, and removal of the charge from the N-terminus. Two of these peptides, 6 and 7 (IC50 values of 0.51 and 0.45 μM, respectively), show similar potency to the best compounds in the FM 19 series reported thus far.

- Employing modular polyketide synthase ketoreductases as biocatalysts in the preparative chemoenzymatic syntheses of diketide chiral building blocks
-
Chiral building blocks are valuable intermediates in the syntheses of natural products and pharmaceuticals. A scalable chemoenzymatic route to chiral diketides has been developed that includes the general synthesis of α-substituted, β-ketoacyl N-acetylcysteamine thioesters followed by a biocatalytic cycle in which a glucose-fueled NADPH-regeneration system drives reductions catalyzed by isolated modular polyketide synthase (PKS) ketoreductases (KRs). To identify KRs that operate as active, stereospecific biocatalysts, 11 isolated KRs were incubated with 5 diketides and their products were analyzed by chiral chromatography. KRs that naturally reduce small polyketide intermediates were the most active and stereospecific toward the panel of diketides. Several biocatalytic reactions were scaled up to yield more than 100 mg of product. These syntheses demonstrate the ability of PKS enzymes to economically and greenly generate diverse chiral building blocks on a preparative scale.

- Decarboxylative isomerization of N-Acyl-2-oxazolidinones to 2-oxazolines
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) N-Acyl-2-oxazolidinones are ring-opened by lithium iodide and decarboxylated in the presence of a mild proton source. Further reaction with an amine base provides 2-oxazolines. The transformation is general for oxazolidinones unsubstituted in the 5 position and occurs under mild conditions (25-50°C). These results complement the existing methods for this transformation by allowing lower temperatures and/or avoiding metal catalysts.

- SmI2-promoted intra- and intermolecular C-C bond formation with chiral N-acyl oxazolidinones
-
The suitability of chiral oxazolidinones in the SmI2-mediated C-C bond generation between the imide functionality of an N-acyl oxazolidinone unit and an olefinic radical acceptor, in both inter- and intramolecular reactions, was investigated. It was shown that the products from an Evans asymmetric alkylation can undergo direct carbon-carbon bond formation with an acrylamide providing chiral acyclic ketones in reasonable yields. These examples represent the first transformation of such N-acyl oxazolidinones where this chiral auxiliary is removed under the conditions for ketone formation. 5-exo-trig Cyclization studies were also undertaken with the same type of substrates, providing trans-2,5-disubstituted cyclopentanones in yields of approx. 50%. However, attempts to cyclize heteroatom-containing equivalents were less rewarding.

- Total synthesis of the originally proposed and revised structures of palmerolide A and isomers thereof
-
Palmerolide A is a recently disclosed marine natural product possessing striking biological properties, including potent and selective activity against the melanoma cancer cell line UACC-62. The total syntheses of five palmerolide A stereoisomers, including the originally proposed (1) and the revised [ent-(19-epi-20-epi-1)] structures, have been accomplished. The highly convergent and flexible strategy developed for these syntheses involved the construction of key building blocks 2, 19-epi-2, 20-epi-2, ent-2, 3, ent-3, 4, and enf-4, and their assembly and elaboration to the target compounds. For the union of the building blocks, the Stille coupling reaction, Yamaguchi esterification, Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination, and ring-closing metathesis reaction were employed, the latter being crucial for the stereoselective formation of the macrocycle of the palmerolide structure. The Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination and the Yamaguchi lactonization were also investigated and found successful as a means to construct the palmerolide macrocycle. The syntheses were completed by attachment of the enamide moiety through a copper-catalyzed coupling process.
