Interleukin-1β is a central mediator of innate immune responses and inflammation. It plays a key role in a wide variety of pathologies, ranging from autoinflammatory diseases to metabolic syndrome and malignant tumors. It is well established that its inhibition results in a rapid and sustained reduction in disease severity, underlining the importance of having a repertoire of drugs of this class. At present, there are only three interleukin-1β blockers approved in the clinic. All of them are biologics, requiring parenteral administration and resulting in expensive treatments. In an exercise to identify small molecule allosteric inhibitors of MAP kinases, we discovered a series of compounds that block IL-1β release produced as a consequence of a stimulus involved in triggering an inflammatory response. The present study reports the hit-to-lead optimization process that permitted the identification of the compound 13b (AIK3-305) an orally available, potent and selective inhibitor of IL-1β. Furthermore, the study also reports the results of an in vivo efficacy study of 13b in a LPS endotoxic shock model in male BALB/c mice, where IL-1β inhibition is monitored in different tissues.

A glucose responsive insulin (GRI) that responds to changes in blood glucose concentrations has remained an elusive goal. Here we describe the development of glucose cleavable linkers based on hydrazone and thiazolidine structures. We developed linkers with low levels of spontaneous hydrolysis but increased level of hydrolysis with rising concentrations of glucose, which demonstrated their glucose responsiveness in vitro. Lipidated hydrazones and thiazolidines were conjugated to the LysB29 side-chain of HI by pH-controlled acylations providing GRIs with glucose responsiveness confirmed in vitro for thiazolidines. Clamp studies showed increased glucose infusion at hyperglycemic conditions for one GRI indicative of a true glucose response. The glucose responsive cleavable linker in these GRIs allow changes in glucose levels to drive the release of active insulin from a circulating depot. We have demonstrated an unprecedented, chemically responsive linker concept for biopharmaceuticals.

Biomass-derived hydroxycinnamates (mainly includingp-coumaric acid and ferulic acid), which are natural sources of aromatic compounds, are highly underutilized resources. There is a need to upgrade them to make them economically feasible. Value-added phenolic glycosides and their derivatives, both belonging to a class of plant aromatic natural products, are widely used in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. However, their complex aromatic structures make their efficient biosynthesis a challenging process. To overcome this issue, we created three novel synthetic cascades for the biosynthesis of phenolic glycosides (gastrodin, arbutin, and salidroside) and their derivatives (hydroquinone, tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, and homovanillyl alcohol) fromp-coumaric acid and ferulic acid. Moreover, because the biomass-derived hydroxycinnamates directly provided aromatic units, the cascades enabled efficient biosynthesis. We achieved substantially high production rates (up to or above 100-fold enhancement) relative to the glucose-based biosynthesis. Given the ubiquity of the aromatic structure in natural products, the use of biomass-derived aromatics should facilitate the rapid biosynthesis of numerous aromatic natural products.

This work investigated the biotransformation of ginger constituents (zingerone, [6]-shogaol, [6]-gingerol, and methyl-[6]-gingerol) by the pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Experiments were carried out with and without deuterium-labelled compounds. The product metabolites were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography solid phase extraction-nuclear magnetic resonance. Substrates supplied to the fungus were incorporated into metabolic pathways mostly by oxidation reactions, including aromatic carbon–carbon coupling. Zingerone and [6]-gingerol biotransformation products included biphenol dimers. A biodegradation pathway for biphenol formation was proposed based on the presence of the intermediate 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methoxyphenol, commonly identified from [6]-gingerol and [6]-shogaol biodegradation. This intermediate likely originates from a Baeyer–Villiger reaction followed by hydrolysis. The C–C coupling of molecules could result in phenolic oxidative ortho–ortho coupling, suggesting that biphenol dimers are products of C. gloeosporioides laccase catalysis.

The green and sustainable synthesis of chemicals from renewable feedstocks by a biotransformation approach has gained increasing attention in recent years. In this work, we developed enzymatic cascades to efficiently convert l-phenylalanine into 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) and phenylacetic acid (PAA), l-tyrosine into tyrosol (p-hydroxyphenylethanol, p-HPE) and p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (p-HPAA). The enzymatic cascade was cast into an aromatic aldehyde formation module, followed by an aldehyde reduction module, or aldehyde oxidation module, to achieve one-pot biotransformation by using recombinant Escherichia coli. Biotransformation of 50 mM l-Phe produced 6.76 g/L PAA with more than 99 % conversion and 5.95 g/L of 2-PE with 97 % conversion. The bioconversion efficiencies of p-HPAA and p-HPE from l-Tyr reached to 88 and 94 %, respectively. In addition, m-fluoro-phenylalanine was further employed as an unnatural aromatic amino acid substrate to obtain m-fluoro-phenylacetic acid; '96 % conversion was achieved. Our results thus demonstrated high-yielding and potential industrial synthesis of above aromatic compounds by one-pot cascade biocatalysis.
