- Shape Similarity by Fractal Dimensionality: An Application in the de novo Design of (?)-Englerin A Mimetics
-
Molecular shape and pharmacological function are interconnected. To capture shape, the fractal dimensionality concept was employed, providing a natural similarity measure for the virtual screening of de novo generated small molecules mimicking the structurally complex natural product (?)-englerin A. Two of the top-ranking designs were synthesized and tested for their ability to modulate transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channels which are cellular targets of (?)-englerin A. Intracellular calcium assays and electrophysiological whole-cell measurements of TRPC4 and TRPM8 channels revealed potent inhibitory effects of one of the computer-generated compounds. Four derivatives of this identified hit compound had comparable effects on TRPC4 and TRPM8. The results of this study corroborate the use of fractal dimensionality as an innovative shape-based molecular representation for molecular scaffold-hopping.

- Microwave (MW), ultrasound (US) and combined synergic MW-US strategies for rapid functionalization of pharmaceutical use phenols
-
Increasingly stringent regulations aimed at protection of the natural environment have stimulated the search for new synthetic methodologies in organic and medicinal chemistry having no or minimum harmful effect. An interesting approach is the use of alternative activation factors, microwaves (MW) or ultrasounds (US) and also their cross-combination, which has been tested in the fast and efficient creation of new structures. At present, an easy and green hybrid strategy (“Lego” chemistry) is generally recommended for the design of new substances from different chemistry building blocks. Often, selected biologically active components with specific chemical reactivities are integrated by a suitably designed homo- or heterodifunctional linker that modifies the functionality of the starting structure, allowing easy covalent linkage to another molecule. In this study, a fast introduction of heterodifunctional halogenoacidic linker to selected mono-, di- and triphenolic active substances, allowing their functionalization, was investigated. Nucleophilic substitution reaction was chosen to produce final ethers with the reactive carboxylic group from phenols. The functionalization was performed using various green factors initiating and supporting the chemical reactions (MW, US, MW-US). The benefits of the three green supporting methods and different conditions of reactions were analyzed and compared with the results of the reaction performed by conventional methods.
