- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel 2′-methyl-2′-fluoro-6-methyl-7-alkynyl-7-deazapurine nucleoside analogs as anti-Zika virus agents
-
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus and outbreaks of ZIKV have been reported in Africa, Americas and other parts of the world lately. The ZIKV epidemic has received extensive attention due to its ability to cause serious medical consequences and complications such as microcephaly and Guillain-Barre syndrome in recent years. Up to now, there are no specific treatments or vaccines available for ZIKV infection, which highlights the urgent need for developing new therapies. In this work, we designed and synthesized a series of novel 6-methyl-7-acetylenenyl-7-deazapurine nucleoside analogs as potential inhibitors of ZIKV replication. The biological activities against ZIKV replication were evaluated and the structure-activity relationship (SAR) was also studied. Among the compounds evaluated, nucleoside analog 38 (EC50 = 2.8 ± 0.8 μM, EC90 = 6.8 ± 2.3 μM) showed the most potent anti-ZIKV activity with low cytotoxicity (CC50 = 54.1 ± 6.9 μM) in an A549 based cellular model. The inhibitory activity of 38 was about 5 times more potent than the positive control NITD008. Notably, 38 showed similar inhibition potency against different ZIKV strains (ZG-01 and MR766) in a variety of host cell types including SNB19, A549, Huh7, Vero. In addition, 38 (Kd = 1.87 μM) has a stronger affinity to ZIKV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) protein than NITD008 (Kd = 3.43 μM) in the non-phosphorylation assay. These results indicated that compound 38 may serve as a promising candidate in future anti-ZIKV drug discovery.

- Design and characterization of a heterocyclic electrophilic fragment library for the discovery of cysteine-targeted covalent inhibitors
-
A fragment library of electrophilic small heterocycles was characterized through cysteine-reactivity and aqueous stability tests that suggested their potential as covalent warheads. The analysis of theoretical and experimental descriptors revealed correlations between the electronic properties of the heterocyclic cores and their reactivity against GSH that are helpful in identifying suitable fragments for cysteines with specific nucleophilicity. The most important advantage of these fragments is that they show only minimal structural differences from non-electrophilic counterparts. Therefore, they could be used effectively in the design of targeted covalent inhibitors with minimal influence on key non-covalent interactions.

- Design and synthesis of potent and selective inhibitors of BRD7 and BRD9 bromodomains
-
Emerging evidence suggests bromodomain-containing proteins 7 and 9 (BRD7 and BRD9) have roles in the regulation of human transcription and disease including cancer. We describe potent and selective inhibitors of the BRD7 and BRD9 bromodomains intended for use as tools to elucidate the biological roles of BRD7 and BRD9 in healthy and diseased cells.

- Synthesis of functionalized arylpyridines and -pyrimidines by domino [4+2]/retro [4+2] cycloadditions of electron-rich dienes with alkynylpyridines and -pyrimidines
-
Aryl-substituted pyridines and pyrimidines were prepared by [4+2] cycloadditions of alkynyl-substituted pyridines and -pyrimidines with electron-rich dienes. The reactions proceed by formation of a bridged cycloadduct and subsequent thermal extrusion of ethylene. The pyridine moiety plays a crucial role for the success of the reaction.

- Design and synthesis of O-GlcNAcase inhibitors via 'click chemistry' and biological evaluations
-
Protein O-GlcNAcylation has been shown to play an important role in a number of biological processes, including regulation of the cell cycle, DNA transcription and translation, signal transduction, and protein degradation. O-GlcNAcase (OGA) is responsible for the removal of O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) from serine or threonine residues, and thus plays a key role in O-GlcNAc metabolism. Potent OGA inhibitors are useful tools for studying the cellular processes of O-GlcNAc, and may be developed as drugs for the treatment neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, Cu(I)-catalyzed 'Click' cycloaddition reactions between glycosyl azides and alkynes were exploited to generate inhibitory candidates of OGA. Enzymatic kinetic screening revealed that compound 7 was a potent competitive inhibitor of human O-GlcNAcase (Ki = 185.6 μM). Molecular docking simulations of compound 7 into CpOGA (Clostridium perfringens OGA) suggested that strong π-π stacking interaction between the compound and W490 considerably contributed to improving the inhibitory activity.

- Enhanced triple-helix and double-helix formation with oligomers containing modified pyrimidines
-
Novel oligomers are disclosed which have enhanced ability with respect to forming duplexes or triplexes compared with oligomers containing only conventional bases. The oligomers contain the bases 5-(1-propynyl)uracil, 5-(1-propynyl)cytosine or related analogs. The oligomers of the invention are capable of (i) forming triplexes with various target sequences such as virus or oncogene sequences by coupling into the major groove of a target DNA duplex at physiological pH or (ii) forming duplexes by binding to single-stranded DNA or to RNA encoded by target genes. The oligomers of the invention can be constructed to have any desired sequence, provided the sequence normally includes one or more bases that is replaced with the analogs of the invention. Compositions of the invention can be used used for diagnostic purposes in order to detect viruses or disease conditions.
