- Lipase from Carica papaya latex presents high enantioselectivity toward the resolution of prodrug (R,S)-2-bromophenylacetic acid octyl ester
-
Besides the well-known papain, lipolytic activity is another interesting enzymatic activity present in latex from Carica papaya. This lipolytic activity is strongly attached to the latex solid phase, resulting in a naturally immobilized biocatalyst. In this work we describe the kinetic resolution of (R,S)-2-bromophenylacetic acid octyl ester by Carica papaya crude latex and two partially purified latex fractions. Several parameters, such as substrate concentration and solvent effects were studied. The best results were obtained using decane as solvent with 50 mM of substrate and 50 mg/mL enzyme/reaction medium; under these conditions, a high enantioselectivity (E >200) was obtained with crude latex. A twofold increase of the initial rate maintaining E >200 was obtained using purified fractions without protease and without esterase. Lipase from Carica papaya latex is the most enantioselective wild-type enzyme ever described for the studied reaction.

- Novel synthetic method of D/L-phenyl glycine
-
The invention relates to a novel synthetic method of D/L-phenyl glycine. An existing synthetic method of D/L-phenylglycine is used for producing D/L-phenyl glycine by using highly toxic raw materials,and the synthetic method is harmful. According to the synthesis method, benzene is used as a solvent and a raw material. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, performing Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction between benzene and dichloroacetic acid or bromochloroacetic acid under the catalystic function of a catalyst, wherein the reaction temperature of Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactionis 55-60 DEG C, the reaction time is 7h, and after Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction, a benzene solution of alpha-chlorophenylacetic acid or alpha-bromophenylacetic acid is obtained; separating thereaction product into a water phase by using 20% ammonia water; adding urotropin into the water phase to carry out catalytic reactions at a temperature of 75-80 DEG C for 12 hours, controlling the temperature to be 70-80 DEG C, neutralizing the solution by 30% sulfuric acid until the pH value is equal to 6.5 to obtain a D/L-phenyl glycine water solution, and performing suction filtration to obtaina filter cake, namely D/L-phenyl glycine. Cyanide is not used, production is safe, energy consumption is reduced, and the raw material quality standard of downstream products is met.

- A metal-free and mild approach to 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3: H)-ones via oxidative C-C bond cleavage using molecular oxygen
-
A mild metal-free approach to 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-ones via 1,3,4-oxadiazin-5(6H)-ones is described. This novel transformation, promoted by the electron-withdrawing p-substituents on the phenyl group at the α-carbonyl position, features a tandem reaction consisting of oxidative hydroxylation and C-C bond cleavage using molecular oxygen. The method utilizes K2CO3 in CH3CN without any oxidants, transition metals, or additives, enabling the tunable synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazin-5(6H)-ones, 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-ones, and α-ketoamides under mild aerobic conditions.

- Benzoxazinone-containing 3,5-dimethylisoxazole derivatives as BET bromodomain inhibitors for treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer
-
The bromodomain and extra-terminal proteins (BET) have emerged as promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). We report the design, synthesis and evaluation of a new series of benzoxazinone-containing 3,5-dimethylisoxazole derivatives as selective BET inhibitors. One of the new compounds, (R)-12 (Y02234), binds to BRD4(1) with a Kd value of 110 nM and blocks bromodomain and acetyl lysine interactions with an IC50 value of 100 nM. It also exhibits selectivity for BET over non-BET bromodomain proteins and demonstrates reasonable anti-proliferation and colony formation inhibition effect in prostate cancer cell lines such as 22Rv1 and C4-2B. The BRD4 inhibitor (R)-12 also significantly suppresses the expression of ERG, Myc and AR target gene PSA at the mRNA level in prostate cancer cells. Treatment with (R)-12 significantly suppresses the tumor growth of prostate cancer (TGI = 70%) in a 22Rv1-derived xenograft model. These data suggest that compound (R)-12 is a promising lead compound for the development of a new class of therapeutics for the treatment of CRPC.

- Catalytic Asymmetric Conjugate Addition and Sulfenylation of Diarylthiazolidin-2,4-diones
-
This work reports the first application of diarylthiazolidin-2,4-diones as nucleophiles in asymmetric catalysis. By utilizing chiral amino acid-based (thio)urea-tertiary amines as the catalysts, we successively established asymmetric conjugate addition to nitroolefins and sulfenylation to N-(sulfanyl)-succinimides of diarylthiazolidin-2,4-diones. Two series of biologically important 5-aryl-5-substituted thiazolidin-2,4-diones were obtained with high enantio- and diastereoselectivities (up to >99% ee and >19:1 dr). The enantioenriched adducts were found to show satisfactory anticancer activities against three different cancer cell lines using the MTT assay. All of these successes depended on the development of a general and expedient synthetic strategy to provide diverse 5H-thiazolidin-2,4-diones.

- Enantioselective construction of tetrasubstituted stereogenic carbons through bronsted base catalyzed michael reactions: α′-hydroxy enones as key enoate equivalent
-
Catalytic and asymmetric Michael reactions constitute very powerful tools for the construction of new C-C bonds in synthesis, but most of the reports claiming high selectivity are limited to some specific combinations of nucleophile/electrophile compound types, and only few successful methods deal with the generation of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. A contribution to solve this gap is presented here based on chiral bifunctional Bronsted base (BB) catalysis and the use of α′-oxy enones as enabling Michael acceptors with ambivalent H-bond acceptor/donor character, a yet unreported design element for bidentate enoate equivalents. It is found that the Michael addition of a range of enolizable carbonyl compounds that have previously demonstrated challenging (i.e., α-substituted 2-oxindoles, cyanoesters, oxazolones, thiazolones, and azlactones) to α′-oxy enones can afford the corresponding tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters in high diastereo- and enantioselectivity in the presence of standard BB catalysts. Experiments show that the α′-oxy ketone moiety plays a key role in the above realizations, as parallel reactions under identical conditions but using the parent α,β-unsaturated ketones or esters instead proceed sluggish and/or with poor stereoselectivity. A series of trivial chemical manipulations of the ketol moiety in adducts can produce the corresponding carboxy, aldehyde, and ketone compounds under very mild conditions, giving access to a variety of enantioenriched densely functionalized building blocks containing a fully substituted carbon stereocenter. A computational investigation to rationalize the mode of substrate activation and the reaction stereochemistry is also provided, and the proposed models are compared with related systems in the literature.

- Synthesis of enantiomerically enriched-bromonitriles from amino acids
-
Two methods were investigated for the preparation of six chiral-bromonitriles with different optic purities. The nitrous deamination of amino acids gives-bromoacids, which react with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate followed by triethylamine to afford-bromonitriles with moderate enantiomeric excess. However, the dehydration of corresponding-bromoamids using thionyl chloride gives-bromonitriles with good enantiomeric excess up to 94%. The use of phosphoryl chloride instead of thionyl chloride results in more than 30% racemization as determined by high-performance liquid chromatograpic analysis.

- Reactions of α-mercaptocarboxylic acid hydrazides with triethyl orthoesters: Synthesis of 1,3,4-thiadiazin-5(6H)-ones and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles
-
Reactions of α-mercapto-β-phenylpropionic and α-mercaptophenylacetic acid hydrazides with triethyl orthoesters were conducted under N2 in glacial acetic acid and resulted in the formation of two groups of products, derivatives of 1,3,4-thiadiazin-5(6H)-ones and 2-(1-mercaptomethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. When conducting the same transformations on α-mercaptophenylacetic acid hydrazide in the presence of air, two different products from the 1,3,4-oxadiazole family, the appropriate bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-phenylmethyl) disulfides and 2-benzyl-1,3,4- oxadiazoles, were formed with the liberation of free sulfur. The oxygenated bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-phenylmethyl) disulfides were reduced to the corresponding 2-(1-mercaptomethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles with the use of zinc powder under mild conditions.

-
Reactions of symmetrical 1,1′-diphenylthiodiacetic acid dihydrazide and triethyl orthoesters in the presence of catalytic amount of glacial acetic acid resulted in the formation of three heterocyclic products: the appropriate bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-phenylmethyl) sulfides, 2-benzyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 2-benzoyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The presence of the latter two compounds is connected with carbon-sulfur fission in the molecule of the starting hydrazide. The identity of the unexpected fission products was confirmed by parallel syntheses of the model 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from phenylacetic acid hydrazide and 2-hydroxymethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives.

- Kinetic resolution of (R,S)-pyrazolides containing substituents in the leaving pyrazole for increased lipase enantioselectivity
-
With hydrolysis of (R,S)-azolides in water-saturated methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) via Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) as the model system, (R,S)-pyrazolides containing a leaving 3-, 4- or 3,4-substituted-pyrazole moiety are selected as the best substrates for preparing various optically pure carboxylic acids containing an α-chiral center. Great improvements of enzyme activity for the (R)-enantiomers with excellent enantioselectivity (VR/VS > 100) are obtainable, if (R,S)-pyrazolides containing a leaving 3- or 3,4-substituted-pyrazole moiety are employed for the hydrolysis or alcoholysis by methanol in anhydrous MTBE. A detailed kinetic analysis for (R,S)-N-2-phenylpropionylpyrazoles indicates that a bulky 3-substituent such as 3-(3-bromophenyl) or 3-(2-pyridyl) in the leaving pyrazole moiety has profound effects on decreasing the nucleophilic attack and proton transfer of catalytic serine for the slow-reacting enantiomer in anhydrous MTBE, as well as that and substrate affinity for both enantiomers in water-saturated MTBE. The resolution platform is also successfully applied to the hydrolysis of (R,S)-pyrazolides in water-saturated cyclohexane via Candida rugosa lipase (Lipase MY) having opposite enantioselectivity to CALB.

- A variant of Yarrowia lipolytica lipase with improved activity and enantioselectivity for resolution of 2-bromo-arylacetic acid esters
-
A variant of Lip2p lipase from Yarrowia lipolytica yeast was used for the resolution of 2-bromophenyl and o-tolyl acid esters, an important class of chemical intermediates for the pharmaceutical industry. In comparison with wild-type Lip2p, this variant, which contains one single amino acid change in the active site of the enzyme, V232A, displayed an enantioselectivity enhanced by one order of magnitude for the resolution of 2-bromo-phenylacetic acid ethyl ester (E-value increased from 5.5 to 59 for wild-type and V232A, respectively) and by fourfold for the resolution of 2-bromo-o-tolylacetic acid ethyl ester (going from an E-value of 27 to 111 for the wild-type and V232A, respectively). A remarkable increase in reaction velocity was also observed for both compounds, as a result of a significant gain in reactivity towards the favoured (S)-enantiomer (3- and 16-fold increase for 2-bromo-phenylacetic and -o-tolylacetic acid ethyl esters, respectively). These results demonstrate the key role of the V232 amino acid in enantiomer recognition and selectivity.

- Synthesis, characterization, and application of chiral ionic liquids and their polymers in micellar electrokinetic chromatography
-
Two amino acid-derived (leucinol and N-methylpyrrolidinol) chiral ionic liquids are synthesized and characterized in both monomeric and polymeric forms. Leucinol-based chiral cationic surfactant is a room-temperature ionic liquid, and pyrrolidinol-based chiral cationic surfactant melts at 30-35 °C to form an ionic liquid (IL). The monomeric and polymeric ILs are thoroughly characterized to determine critical micelle concentration, aggregation number, polarity, optical rotation, and partial specific volume. Herein, we present the first enantioseparation using chiral IL as a pseudostationary phase in capillary electrophoresis. Chiral separation of two acidic analytes, (±)-α- bromophenylacetic acid and (±)-2-(2-chlorophenoxy)propanoic acid (±)-(2-PPA) can be achieved with both monomers and polymers of undecenoxycarbonyl-L-pryrrolidinol bromide (L-UCPB) and undecenoxycarbonyl-L- leucinol bromide (L-UCLB) at 25 mM surfactant concentration using phosphate buffer at pH 7.50. The chiral recognition seems to be facilitated by the extent of interaction of the acidic analytes with the cationic head-group of chiral selectors. Polysodium N-undecenoxycarbonyl-L-leucine sulfate (poly-L-SUCLS) and polysodium N-undecenoxycarbonyl-L-leucinate (poly-L-SUCL) were compared at high and low pH for the enantioseparation of (±)-(2-PPA). AtpH 7.5, poly-L-SUCLS, poly-L-SUCL, and (±)-(2-PPA) are negatively charged resulting in no enantioseparation. However, chiral separation was observed for (±)-(2-PPA) using poly-L-SUCLS at low pH (pH 2.00) at which the analyte is neutral. The comparison of chiral separation of anionic and cationic surfactants demonstrates that the electrostatic interaction between the acidic analyte and cationic micelle plays a profound role in enantioseparation.

- Imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazines, novel nucleus with potent and broad spectrum activity against human picornaviruses: Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation
-
A novel structural class of picornavirus inhibitors comprising an imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine nucleus was discovered. 2-Aminoimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazines (6d, (E/Z)-7b, (E)-7d, (Z)-7d, (E/ Z)-8b, (E)-10b, (E)-13a, (Z)-13a, (E)-13b, (Z)-13b, (E)-13c, and (Z)-13c) were designed and synthesized in an effort to identify potent broad spectrum antirhinoviral agents. A practical synthetic route to this chemical scaffold has been developed. The target compounds were evaluated in a plaque reduction assay and in a cytopathic effect assay. Our preliminary SAR studies highlight the minimum structural features required for antirhinovirus activity. Our data suggest that the nature of the linker between the phenyl and the imidazopyridazine moieties has a significant influence on the activity of these compounds. Oximes are slightly better than vinyl carboxamides at this position. The oximes are the most potent analogues against human rhinovirus 14 (HRV-14), and at the concentrations evaluated, no apparent cellular toxicity is noted. Furthermore, the E geometry appears to be a key element for activity; the Z isomer leads to a considerable loss in potency. Of particular interest, analogue 7b exhibits potent broad-spectrum antirhinoviral and antienteroviral activity when evaluated against a panel of seven additional rhino- and enteroviruses. The chemistry and the biological evaluations are discussed.

Lipases from Candida antarctica, Pseudomonas cepacia and Rhizomucor miehei were tested in the resolution of seven racemic substrates belonging to the (RS)-2-bromo tolyl acetate ester category, but differing either in the position of the methyl substituent on the acyl part of the aromatic ring, or in the structure of the alkyl group. Lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution via transesterification reaction between the ester and octanol in octane revealed that, of the three enzymes tested, P. cepacia lipase is the most efficient for resolution of the various racemates, with R-enantiopreference. In addition, the position of the methyl substituent was found to play a key role in governing the enantioselectivity of the reaction. Using P. cepacia lipase and 2-bromo-m/p-tolyl- or 2-bromophenylacetic acid esters E-values of 6.

- Enantioselective protonation of silyl enol ethers and ketene disilyl acetals with Lewis acid-assisted chiral Bronsted acids: Reaction scope and mechanistic insights
-
Enantioselective protonation is a potent and efficient way to construct chiral carbons. Here we report details of the reaction using Lewis acid-assisted chiral Bronsted acids (chiral LBAs). The 1:1 coordinate complex of tin tetrachloride and optically active binaphthol ((R)- or (S)-BINOL) can directly protonate various silyl enol ethers and ketene disilyl acetals to give the corresponding α-aryl ketones and α-arylcarboxylic acids, respectively, with high enantiomeric excesses (up to 98% ee). A catalytic version of enantioselective protonation has also been achieved using stoichiometric amounts of 2,6-dimethylphenol and catalytic amounts of monomethyl ether of optically active BINOL in the presence of tin tetrachloride. This protonation is also effective for producing α-halocarbonyl compounds (up to 91% ee). DFT calculations on the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level show that the conformational structure of the chiral LBA and the orientation of activated proton on (R)-BINOLs are important for understanding the absolute stereochemistry of the products.

- 2-amino-3-substituted-6-[(E)-1-phenyl-2-(N- methylcarbamoyl)vinyl]imidazo-[1,2-a]pyridines as a novel class of inhibitors of human rhinovirus: Stereospecific synthesis and antiviral activity
-
A series of 2-amino-3-substituted-6-[(E)-1-phenyl-2-(N- methylcarbamoyl)vinyl]imidazo[1,2-a]-pyridines 1a-i, structurally related to Enviroxime and its analogous benzimidazoles, was designed and prepared for testing as antirhinovirus agents. The imidazo ring in this class of compounds was constructed starting from the aminopyridine after tosylation and subsequent treatment with the appropriate acetamides. The key steps in the synthesis include the development and use of a new Horner-Emmons reagent for the direct incorporation of methyl vinylcarboxamide. The reaction was stereospecific in the substrates 5a-f leading exclusively to the desired E- isomer and avoiding the use of reverse-phase preparative HPLC for the separation of both possible isomers before antiviral activity evaluation. The isopropylsulfonyl group, known as the best substituent at the 1-position in the benzimidazole SAR in terms of activity, was introduced in this new series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines via halogen-metal exchange and subsequent treatment with isopropyl isopropanethiolsulfonate. Compounds 1a-i were evaluated in plaque reduction assay and in a cytopathic effect assay. Compounds 1b-d,h exhibited a strong antirhinovirus activity, and no apparent cellular toxicity was visible. The substitution at the 3-position was required for activity. Surprisingly the isopropylsulfonyl in this family of compounds did not enhance the activity as in the case of benzimidazoles. Instead, compound 1i was 4 times less active than its phenyl and sulfide partners. The chemistry as well as the biological evaluation are discussed.

- Optimal recognition of neutral endopeptidase and angiotensin-converting enzyme active sites by mercaptoacyldipeptides as a means to design potent dual inhibitors
-
An interesting approach for the treatment of congestive heart failure and chronic hypertension could be to avoid the formation of angiotensin II by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and to protect atrial natriuretic factor by blocking neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP). This is supported by recent results obtained with potent dual inhibitors of the two zinc metallopeptidases, such as RB 105, HSCH2CH(CH3)PhCONHCH(CH3)COOH (Fournie-Zaluski et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 1994, 91, 4072-4076), which reduces blood pressure in experimental models of hypertension, independently of the salt and renin angiotensin system status. In order to develop new dual inhibitors with improved affinities, long duration of action, and/or better bioavailabilities, various series of mercaptoacyldipeptides corresponding to the general formula HSCH(R1)CONHCH(R1')CON(R)CH(R2')COOH have been synthesized. The introduction of well-selected β-branched chains in positions R1 and R1', associated with a tyrosine or a cyclic amino acid in the C-terminal position, led to potent dual inhibitors of NEP and ACE such as 21 [N-[(2S)-2-mercapto- 3-methylbutanoyl]-Ile-Tyr] and 22 [N-[(2S)-2-mercapte-3-phenylpropanoyl]Ala- Pro] which have IC50 values in the nanomolar range for NEP and subnanomolar range for ACE. These compounds could have different modes of binding to the two peptidases. In NEP, the dual inhibitors seem to interact only with the S1' and S2' subsites, whereas additional interactions with the S1 binding subsite of ACE probably account for their subnanomolar inhibitory potencies for this enzyme. The localization of the Pro residue of 22 outside the NEP active site is supported by biochemical data using (Arg102,Glu)NEP and molecular modeling studies with thermolysin used as model of NEP. One hour after oral administration in mice of a single dose (2.7 x 10-5 mol/kg), 21 inhibited 80% and 36% of kidney NEP and lung ACE, respectively, while 22 inhibited 40% of kidney NEP and 56% of lung ACE.

- Optical Resolution and Asymmetric Transformation of (RS)-N-Alkyl- and (RS)-N,N-Dialkyl-2-phenylglycines
-
Optical resolution of (RS)-N-methyl-2-phenylglycine and (RS)-N-ethyl-2-phenylglycine was carried out by using (1S)-10-camphorsulfonic acid as resolving agents, and that of (RS)-N-ethyl-N-methyl-2-phenylglycine by (R)- and (S)-1-phenylethylamine.Racemization rates of optically active Mpg, Epg, Emp, N,N-dimethyl-2-phenylglycine , and six α-amino acids were measured by heating in carboxylic acids.The electron-donating amino acid side chain and N-substituted alkyl group decreased therate to inhibit the formation of intermediary carbanions, whereas the electron-withdrawing side chain increased it.Asymmetric transformation of (RS)-Mpg, (RS)-Epg, and (RS)-Dmp was carried out on the basis of the results of optical resolution and racemization to give the corresponding enantiomers of approximately 100percent optical purities in over 70percent yield based on the sterting racemates.

- Reactions of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives with Superoxide
-
The mechanisms of the reactions of superoxide with carboxylic esters, acyl peroxides, and the acyl chlorides of α- and β-bromocarboxylic acids have been investigated.Experimental evidence is presented supporting the view that (a) conversion of an ester into its carboxylic acid does not proceed via the corresponding acyl peroxide; (b) conversion of acyl peroxide into carboxylic acid by superoxide involves either electron transfer to or an SN2 reaction on the peroxidic group; (c) α-bromoacyl chlorides with superoxide give the corresponding aldehyde via a cyclic peroxidic intermediate.
