- Copolymers of aniline and 3-aminophenol derivatives with oligo(oxyethylene) side chains as novel water-soluble conducting polymers
-
A novel water-soluble copolymer of aniline and aminophenol (AP) grafted with oligo(oxyethylene) (PEO) side chains (AP-g-PEO) was synthesized. The AP-g-PEO macromononer was prepared starting from an N-protected 3-aminophenol (protection group: tert-butoxycarbonyl) followed by the substitution of tosylated oligo(oxyethylene) on the hydroxide moiety of the AP and deprotection. Finally, AP-g-PEO was copolymerized with aniline at various feed mole ratios (AP-g-PEO/aniline), The copolymers and various intermediates were characterized by FTIR, MS, NMR, GPC, UV-vis, and chemical elemental analysis. The increase of the aniline content and the decrease of the PEO side chain length generated lower oligo(oxyethylene) grafted concentrations and solubilities in water but longer conjugation lengths and higher conductivities. Four AP-g-PEOs were prepared from four oligo(oxyethylene) methyl ethers with Mn = 164, 350, 750, and 2000. The poly((AP-g-PEO-750)-co-aniline) at a feed mole ratio of 3/1 was water-soluble and possessed a relatively high conductivity (0.12 S/cm). AP-g-PEOs were found to have low reactivities and to generate low homopolymerization degrees because of the torsional effects of the PEO side chains on the backbone of the copolymer. A possible copolymerization mechanism was suggested. Furthermore, the copolymers with high PEO content had lower oxidation and doping levels of their backbones, which were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

- Synthesis of highly potent anti-inflammatory compounds (ROS inhibitors) from isonicotinic acid
-
In search of anti-inflammatory compounds, novel scaffolds containing isonicotinoyl motif were synthesized via an efficient strategy. The compounds were screened for their in vitro antiinflammatory activity. Remarkably high activities were observed for isonicotinates 5-6 and 8a-8b. The compound 5 exhibits an exceptional IC50 value (1.42 ± 0.1 μg/mL) with 95.9% inhibition at 25 μg/mL, which is eight folds better than the standard drug ibuprofen (11.2 ± 1.9 μg/mL). To gain an insight into the mode of action of anti-inflammatory compounds, molecular docking studies were also performed. Decisively, further development and fine tuning of these isonicotinates based scaffolds for the treatment of various aberrations is still a wide-open field of research.

- Chemoselective and Site-Selective Lysine-Directed Lysine Modification Enables Single-Site Labeling of Native Proteins
-
The necessity for precision labeling of proteins emerged during the efforts to understand and regulate their structure and function. It demands selective attachment of tags such as affinity probes, fluorophores, and potent cytotoxins. Here, we report a method that enables single-site labeling of a high-frequency Lys residue in the native proteins. At first, the enabling reagent forms stabilized imines with multiple solvent-accessible Lys residues chemoselectively. These linchpins create the opportunity to regulate the position of a second Lys-selective electrophile connected by a spacer. Consequently, it enables the irreversible single-site labeling of a Lys residue independent of its place in the reactivity order. The user-friendly protocol involves a series of steps to deconvolute and address chemoselectivity, site-selectivity, and modularity. Also, it delivers ordered immobilization and analytically pure probe-tagged proteins. Besides, the methodology provides access to antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), which exhibits highly selective anti-proliferative activity towards HER-2 expressing SKBR-3 breast cancer cells.

- Single-Site Labeling of Native Proteins Enabled by a Chemoselective and Site-Selective Chemical Technology
-
Chemical biology research often requires precise covalent attachment of labels to the native proteins. Such methods are sought after to probe, design, and regulate the properties of proteins. At present, this demand is largely unmet due to the lack of empowering chemical technology. Here, we report a chemical platform that enables site-selective labeling of native proteins. Initially, a reversible intermolecular reaction places the "chemical linchpins" globally on all the accessible Lys residues. These linchpins have the capability to drive site-selective covalent labeling of proteins. The linchpin detaches within physiological conditions and capacitates the late-stage installation of various tags. The chemical platform is modular, and the reagent design regulates the site of modification. The linchpin is a multitasking group and facilitates purification of the labeled protein eliminating the requirement of additional chromatography tag. The methodology allows the labeling of a single protein in a mixture of proteins. The precise modification of an accessible residue in protein ensures that their structure remains unaltered. The enzymatic activity of myoglobin, cytochrome C, aldolase, and lysozyme C remains conserved after labeling. Also, the cellular uptake of modified insulin and its downstream signaling process remain unperturbed. The linchpin directed modification (LDM) provides a convenient route for the conjugation of a fluorophore and drug to a Fab and monoclonal antibody. It delivers trastuzumab-doxorubicin and trastuzumab-emtansine conjugates with selective antiproliferative activity toward Her-2 positive SKBR-3 breast cancer cells.

Coumarins represent an important group of natural products and a common part of various drugs and fluorescent dyestuffs. Herein, we present the synthesis of a coumarin that can serve as a key starting material in the design and synthesis of bioorthogonally applicable fluorogenic dyes. The synthesis of 7-azido-3-formylcoumarin started from 7-diallylaminocoumarin. This allyl protected aminocoumarin is otherwise hard to obtain by conventional methods but was conveniently accessed in good yields by a sequential, Wittig-reaction–UV isomerization process. This sequential approach was studied in more details and applied for the synthesis of a series of substituted coumarins even in one-pot.

- 5-Alkyloxytryptamines are membrane-targeting, broad-spectrum antibiotics
-
Antibiotic adjuvant therapy represents an exciting opportunity to enhance the activity of clinical antibiotics by co-dosing with a secondary small molecule. Successful adjuvants decrease the concentration of antibiotics used to defeat bacteria, increase activity (in some cases introducing activity against organisms that are drug resistant), and reduce the frequency at which drug-resistant bacteria emerge. We report that 5-alkyloxytryptamines are a new class of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents with exciting activity as antibiotic adjuvants. We synthesized 5-alkyloxytryptamine analogs and found that an alkyl chain length of 6–12 carbons and a primary ammonium group are necessary for the antibacterial activity of the compounds, and an alkyl chain length of 6–10 carbons increased the membrane permeability of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Although several of the most potent analogs also have activity against the membranes of human embryonic kidney cells, we demonstrate that below the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)—where mammalian cell toxicity is low—these compounds may be successfully used as adjuvants for chloramphenicol, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, and rifampicin against clinical strains of Salmonella typhimurium, Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus, reducing MIC values by as much as several logs.

- Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of carboxycoumarins as a new antitumor treatment targeting lactate transport in cancer cells
-
Under hypoxia, cancer cells consume glucose and release lactate at a high rate. Lactate was recently documented to be recaptured by oxygenated cancer cells to fuel the TCA cycle and thereby to support tumor growth. Monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) are the main lactate carriers and therefore represent potential therapeutic targets to limit cancer progression. In this study, we have developed and implemented a stepwise in vitro screening procedure on human cancer cells to identify new potent MCT inhibitors. Various 7-substituted carboxycoumarins and quinolinone derivatives were synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated. Most active compounds were obtained using a palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig type coupling reaction, which proved to be a quick and efficient method to obtain aminocarboxycoumarin derivatives. Inhibition of lactate flux revealed that the most active compound 19 (IC 50 11 nM) was three log orders more active than the CHC reference compound. Comparison with warfarin, a conventional anticoagulant coumarin, further showed that compound 19 did not influence the prothrombin time which, together with a good in vitro ADME profile, supports the potential of this new family of compounds to act as anticancer drugs through inhibition of lactate flux.

- In search of potent and selective inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase with more simple structures
-
In certain neurodegenerative diseases damaging levels of nitric oxide (NO) are produced by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). It, therefore, is important to develop inhibitors selective for nNOS that do not interfere with other NOS isoforms, especially endothelial NOS (eNOS), which is critical for proper functioning of the cardiovascular system. While we have been successful in developing potent and isoform-selective inhibitors, such as lead compounds 1 and 2, the ease of synthesis and bioavailability have been problematic. Here we describe a new series of compounds including crystal structures of NOS-inhibitor complexes that integrate the advantages of easy synthesis and good biological properties compared to the lead compounds. These results provide the basis for additional structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to guide further improvement of isozyme selective inhibitors.

The crystal structure of 16 in the MurD active site has provided a good starting point for the design of structurally optimized inhibitors 73-75 endowed with improved MurD inhibitory potency (IC50 between 3 and 7 μM). Inhibitors 74 and 75 showed weak activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. Compounds 73-75, with IC 50 values in the low micromolar range, represent the most potent d-Glu-based MurD inhibitors reported to date.

- Unsymmetrical non-adamantyl N,N′-diaryl urea and amide inhibitors of soluble expoxide hydrolase
-
Incorporation of an adamantyl group in prototypical soluble expoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitors afforded improved enzyme potency. We explored replacement of the adamantyl group in unsymmetrical ureas and amides with substituted aryl rings to identify equipotent and metabolically stable sEH inhibitors. We found that aryl rings, especially those substituted in the para position with a strongly electron withdrawing substituent, afforded enzyme IC50 values comparable to the adamantyl compounds in an ether substituted, unsymmetrical N,N′-diaryl urea or amide scaffold.

- Copper(II) tetrafluoroborate as a novel and highly efficient catalyst for N-tert-butoxycarbonylation of amines under solvent-free conditions at room temperature
-
Commercially available copper(II) tetrafluoroborate hydrate was found to be a highly efficient catalyst for chemoselective N-tert-butoxycarbonylation of amines with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate under solvent-free conditions and at room temperature. Various aromatic amines were protected as their N-tert-butyl carbamates in high yields and in short times. No competitive side reactions such as isocyanate, urea, and N,N-di-t-Boc formation was observed. Chemoselective N-tert-butoxycarbonylation was achieved with substrates bearing OH and SH groups. Chiral α-amino acid esters afforded the corresponding N-t-Boc derivatives in excellent yields.

- Investigation of mechanism-based thrombin inhibitors: Implications of a highly conserved water molecule for the binding of coumarins within the S pocket
-
The synthesis of novel coumarins bearing on the lateral side chain in the 3-position an amine or a guanidine group is described. In vitro evaluation highlighted 14d which possesses a meta aniline side chain as a very potent THR inhibitor. Surprisingly, the introduction of a guanidine moiety always led to a decrease in THR inhibiting properties. We, thus, used docking experiments to rationalize the SAR in the series. This study showed the crucial role of a conserved water molecule in the specificity pocket of THR during docking simulation in order to explain the inactivity of guanidine derivatives.

- PtIV-catalyzed cyclization of arene-alkyne substrates via intramolecular electrophilic hydroarylation
-
(Figure presented) We herein report that PtCl4 has proven to be a hydroarylation catalyst with an efficiency and substrate scope superior to previously known methods. This catalyst demonstrated consistent performance with arene-yne substrates of diverse structural features, including propargyl ethers, propargylamines, and alkynoate esters, providing good to excellent yields of the 6-endo products (chromenes, dihydroquinolines, and coumarins). In contrast, Pt(II), Pd(II), and Ga(III) salts were shown to be sensitive to the substitution on the alkyne moiety.

- The Lindlar Catalyst Revitalized: A Highly Chemoselective Method for the Direct Conversion of Azides to N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)amines
-
An exceptionally chemoselective method for the direct conversion of azides to N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-protected amines under catalytic transfer-hydrogenation conditions, using the Lindlar catalyst, is reported. The extremely labile functional groups such as N-Cbz, benzyl ester are shown to be inert under the reaction conditions. The present method allows us to synthesize orthogonally protected (N-Cbz and N-Boc) 1,2-diamino systems, which will be immensely useful in organic synthesis.

- Quinazolines: Combined type 3 and 4 phosphodiesterase inhibitors
-
A series of quinazolines has been prepared and evaluated for its ability to inhibit cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase type 3, type 4A, 4B and 4D. The most potent inhibitors showed IC50 values in the nanomolar range for type 3 and type 4 isoforms and bind with high affinity to the [3H]rolipram binding site. These quinazolines represent a new family of potent mixed PDE 3 / 4 inhibitors and are expected to have a therapeutic potential.

- Potent and subtype-selective CCK-B/gastrin receptor antagonists: 2,4-dioxo-1,5-benzodiazepines with a plane of symmetry
-
A series of CCK-B/gastrin receptor antagonists, 2,4-dioxo-1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives with a plane of symmetry, were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for antagonistic activity. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that carbonylmethyl groups at both N-1 and N-5 positions and hydrophilic groups, such as the carboxyl group on the benzene ring attached to the ureido group at the C-3 position, brought about potent affinity and subtype selectivity for CCK-B/gastrin receptors. Several compounds showed excellent in vivo inhibition of gastric acid secretion induced by pentagastrin in anesthetized rats.
