- A new delivery system for auristatin in STxB-drug conjugate therapy
-
A key challenge in anticancer therapy is to gain control over the biodistribution of cytotoxic drugs. The most promising strategy consists in conjugating drugs to tumor-targeting carriers, thereby combining high cytotoxic activity and specific delivery. To target Gb3-positive cancer cells, we exploit the non-toxic B-subunit of Shiga toxin (STxB). Here, we have conjugated STxB to highly potent auristatin derivatives (MMA). A former linker was optimized to ensure proper drug-release upon reaching reducing environments in target cells, followed by a self-immolation step. Two conjugates were successfully obtained, and in vitro assays demonstrated the potential of this targeting system for the selective elimination of Gb3-positive tumors.

- Beyond Gene Transfection with Methacrylate-Based Polyplexes - The Influence of the Amino Substitution Pattern
-
Methacrylate-based polymers represent promising nonviral gene delivery vectors, since they offer a large variety of polymer architectures and functionalities, which are beneficial for specific demands in gene delivery. In combination with controlled radical polymerization techniques, such as the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization, the synthesis of well-defined polymers is possible. In this study we prepared a library of defined linear polymers based on (2-aminoethyl)-methacrylate (AEMA), N-methyl-(2-aminoethyl)-methacrylate (MAEMA), and N,N-dimethyl-(2-aminoethyl)-methacrylate (DMAEMA) monomers, bearing pendant primary, secondary, and tertiary amino groups, and investigated the influence of the substitution pattern on their gene delivery capability. The polymers and the corresponding plasmid DNA complexes were investigated regarding their physicochemical characteristics, cytocompatibility, and transfection performance. The nonviral transfection by methacrylate-based polyplexes differs significantly from poly(ethylene imine)-based polyplexes, as a successful transfection is not affected by the buffer capacity. We observed that polyplexes containing a high content of primary amino groups (AEMA) offered the highest transfection efficiency, whereas polyplexes bearing tertiary amino groups (DMAEMA) exhibited the lowest transfection efficiency. Further insights into the uptake and release mechanisms could be identified by fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy, emphasizing the theory of membrane-pore formation for the time-efficient endosomal release of methacrylate-based vectors.

- The Power of Shielding: Low Toxicity and High Transfection Performance of Cationic Graft Copolymers Containing Poly(2-oxazoline) Side Chains
-
We show the potential of oligo(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (Oxn)-shielded graft copolymers of (2-aminoethyl)-methacrylate and N-methyl-(2-aminoethyl)-methacrylate for pDNA delivery in HEK cells. For the effect of grafting density and side chain length concerning improved transfection properties through the concept of shielding to be investigated, copolymers were synthesized via the macromonomer method using a combination of cationic ring opening polymerization and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization to vary the degree of grafting (DG = 10 and 30%) as well as the side chain degree of polymerization (DP = 5 and 20). Investigations of the polyplex formation, in vitro flow cytometry, and confocal laser scanning microscopy measurements on the copolymer library revealed classical shielding properties of the Ox side chains, including highly reduced cytotoxicity and a partial decrease in transfection efficiency, as also reported for polyethylene glycol shielding. In terms of the transfection efficiency, the best performing copolymers (A-g-Ox5(10) and M-g-Ox5(10)) revealed equal or better performances compared to those of the corresponding homopolymers. In particular, the graft copolymers with low DG and side chain DP transfected well with over 10-fold higher IC50 values. In contrast, a DG of 30% resulted in a loss of transfection efficiency due to missing ability for endosomal release, and a side chain DP of 20 hampered the cellular uptake.

- Selective, Modular Probes for Thioredoxins Enabled by Rational Tuning of a Unique Disulfide Structure Motif
-
Specialized cellular networks of oxidoreductases coordinate the dithiol/disulfide-exchange reactions that control metabolism, protein regulation, and redox homeostasis. For probes to be selective for redox enzymes and effector proteins (nM to μM concentrations), they must also be able to resist non-specific triggering by the ca. 50 mM background of non-catalytic cellular monothiols. However, no such selective reduction-sensing systems have yet been established. Here, we used rational structural design to independently vary thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of disulfide stability, creating a series of unusual disulfide reduction trigger units designed for stability to monothiols. We integrated the motifs into modular series of fluorogenic probes that release and activate an arbitrary chemical cargo upon reduction, and compared their performance to that of the literature-known disulfides. The probes were comprehensively screened for biological stability and selectivity against a range of redox effector proteins and enzymes. This design process delivered the first disulfide probes with excellent stability to monothiols yet high selectivity for the key redox-Active protein effector, thioredoxin. We anticipate that further applications of these novel disulfide triggers will deliver unique probes targeting cellular thioredoxins. We also anticipate that further tuning following this design paradigm will enable redox probes for other important dithiol-manifold redox proteins, that will be useful in revealing the hitherto hidden dynamics of endogenous cellular redox systems.

- Structure-Activity Relationships of Fish Oil Derivatives with Antiallergic Activity in Vitro and in Vivo
-
A series of unsaturated fatty acids in fish oil and their corresponding ethanolamide metabolites were explored to find active fish oil components of antiallergic activity in vitro. Ethanolamides of omega-3 fatty acids (α-linolenic acid, EPA, and DHA) were found to possess promising antiallergic activity, whereas free fatty acids and ethanolamides of other fatty acids exhibited no or weak potency. Based on this finding, structure-activity relationships of DHA-ethanolamide (DHEA) derivatives were investigated to yield better fatty acid derivatives with enhanced antiallergic activity in vitro and in vivo. When the ethanolamide moiety of DHEA was replaced by the substituted sulfonamide functionality, highly promising potency was provided in vitro. Compound 59 showed improved antiallergic activity in vivo over DHEA. The results indicate that optimized DHEA derivatives have enhanced antiallergic activity in vitro and in vivo, and the resulting structures will be an important basis for further development of bioavailable derivatives with promising allergy suppressive activity.

- Investigation of B,C-ring truncated deguelin derivatives as heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors for use as anti-breast cancer agents
-
On the basis of deguelin, a series of the B,C-ring truncated surrogates with N-substituted amide linkers were investigated as HSP90 inhibitors. The structure activity relationship of the template was studied by incorporating various substitutions on the nitrogen of the amide linker and examining their HIF-1α inhibition. Among them, compound 57 showed potent HIF-1α inhibition and cytotoxicity in triple-negative breast cancer lines in a dose-dependent manner. Compound 57 downregulated expression and phosphorylation of major client proteins of HSP90 including AKT, ERK and STAT3, indicating that its antitumor activity was derived from the inhibition of HSP90 function. The molecular modeling of 57 demonstrated that 57 bound well to the C-terminal ATP-binding pocket in the open conformation of the hHSP90 homodimer with hydrogen bonding and pi-cation interactions. Overall, compound 57 is a potential antitumor agent for triple-negative breast cancer as a HSP90 C-terminal inhibitor.

- Structure Guided Lead Generation toward Nonchiral M. tuberculosis Thymidylate Kinase Inhibitors
-
In recent years, thymidylate kinase (TMPK), an enzyme indispensable for bacterial DNA biosynthesis, has been pursued for the development of new antibacterial agents including against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent for the widespread infectious disease tuberculosis (TB). In response to a growing need for more effective anti-TB drugs, we have built upon our previous efforts toward the exploration of novel and potent Mycobacterium tuberculosis TMPK (MtTMPK) inhibitors, and reported here the design of a novel series of non-nucleoside inhibitors of MtTMPK. The inhibitors display hitherto unexplored interactions in the active site of MtTMPK, offering new insights into structure-activity relationships. To investigate the discrepancy between enzyme inhibitory activity and the whole-cell activity, experiments with efflux pump inhibitors and efflux pump knockout mutants were performed. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of particular inhibitors increased significantly when determined for the efflux pump mmr knockout mutant, which partly explains the observed dissonance.

- Mission ImPOxable-or the unknown utilization of non-toxic poly(2-oxazoline)s as cryoprotectants and surfactants at the same time
-
Polymer based nanoparticles offer great opportunities for diverse applications, i.e. their drug delivery potential is promising. However, their major drawback is identified in preparation via the nanoemulsion technique, which is needed for the encapsulation of hydrophilic drugs and whereby the utilization of surfactants, e.g. poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), is mandatory. Furthermore, the preparation of nanoparticles is critical due to the need of lyophilization for storage. For this reason it is common to use cryoprotectants, which are usually sugar based. In the current study, we present the use of non-toxic, water-soluble poly(2-oxazoline)s (P(Ox)s) in terms of polymeric nanoparticle stabilizers for preparation, purification, and lyophilization. The nanoparticles were characterized via dynamic light scattering (DLS) and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryoTEM). The use of hydrophilic P(Ox)s with a degree of polymerization of about 60 yielded stable nanoparticles. For the preparation via nanoemulsion a PDI below 0.2 could be obtained after adjustment of the surfactant concentration. All nanoparticles were in the size range of 100 to 200 nm according to DLS. Furthermore, the addition of P(Ox) was beneficial during particle purification via centrifugation and filtration as well as lyophilization, yielding nanoparticles with a PDI below 0.3 as determined via DLS and confirmed via cryoTEM measurements. Cytotoxicity, hemolysis and erythrocyte aggregation measurements of these P(Ox)s did not show any harmful effect on the treated cells.

- Design, synthesis and antimalarial evaluation of novel thiazole derivatives
-
As part of our medicinal chemistry program's ongoing search for compounds with antimalarial activity, we prepared a series of thiazole analogs and conducted a SAR study analyzing their in vitro activities against the chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain. The results indicate that modifications of the N-aryl amide group linked to the thiazole ring are the most significant in terms of in vitro antimalarial activity, leading to compounds with high antimalarial potency and low cytotoxicity in HepG2 cell lines. Furthermore, the observed SAR implies that non-bulky, electron-withdrawing groups are preferred at ortho position on the phenyl ring, whereas small atoms such as H or F are preferred at para position. Finally, replacement of the phenyl ring by a pyridine affords a compound with similar potency, but with potentially better physicochemical properties which could constitute a new line of research for further studies.

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of simplified side chain hybrids of the potent actin binding polyketides rhizopodin and bistramide
-
The natural products rhizopodin and bistramide belong to an elite class of highly potent actin binding agents. They show powerful antiproliferative activities against a range of tumor cell lines, with IC50 values in the low-nanomolar range. At the molecular level they disrupt the actin cytoskeleton by binding specifically to a few critical sites of G-actin, resulting in actin filament stabilization. The important biological properties of rhizopodin and bistramide, coupled with their unique and intriguing molecular architectures, render them attractive compounds for further development. However, this is severely hampered by the structural complexity of these metabolites. We initiated an interdisciplinary approach at the interface between molecular modeling, organic synthesis, and chemical biology to support further biological applications. We also wanted to expand structure-activity relationship studies with the goal of accessing simplified analogues with potent biological properties. We report computational analyses of actin-inhibitor interactions involving molecular docking, validated on known actin binding ligands, that show a close match between the crystal and modeled structures. Based on these results, the ligand shape was simplified, and more readily accessible rhizopodin-bistramide mimetics were designed. A flexible and modular strategy was applied for the synthesis of these compounds, enabling diverse access to dramatically simplified rhizopodin-bistramide hybrids. This novel analogue class was analyzed for its antiproliferative and actin binding properties.

Degradable aliphatic polyesters such as poly(lactic acid) are widely used in biomedical applications, however, they lack functional moieties along the polymer backbone that are amenable for functionalization reactions or could be the basis for interactions with biological systems. Here we present a straightforward route for the synthesis of functional α-ω epoxyesters as comonomers for lactide polymerization. Salient features of these highly functionalized epoxides are versatility in functionality and a short synthetic route of less than four steps. The α-ω epoxyesters presented serve as a means to introduce carboxylic acid and amine functional groups into poly(lactic acid) polymers via ring-opening copolymerization.

- Structure-property relationships of antibacterial amphiphilic polymers derived from 2-aminoethyl acrylate
-
The findings from the investigation of an ensemble of amphiphilic polymers derived from 2-aminoethyl acrylate establish significant effects of variation in the topographical position of the cationic center and hydrophobic segments on their biological activities. For example, the isomeric polymer pair of poly(6-aminohexylacrylate) and poly(2-(butylamino)ethyl acrylate) show striking differences in their biological activities, with the former having biological activities orders of magnitude higher. The trend of the activities of alkyl tails attached to the charge center shows an abrupt increase in biological activity at butyl length in the series of methyl to butyl tail. The distribution and interaction of the charge center in the chain domain is one of the main parameters in influencing polymer activities. Within the 2-aminoethyl acrylate system of homo- and copolymer, the homopolymer has its cationic centers closely distributed along the amphiphilic macromolecular chain with proximity to the backbone leading to rigid conformations not conducive to the attachment of the polymer to the cell surface. In copolymers, the incorporation of uncharged counits increases the distance between the cationic centers, resulting in significant reduction of charge repulsion and thus enhancing the flexibility of the chain conformation. This is conducive for polymer-cell association, leading to a remarkable surge in orders of magnitude of biological activity but with low selectivity against bacteria over red blood cells.

- New organic nitrate-containing benzyloxy isonipecotanilide derivatives with vasodilatory and anti-platelet activity
-
Abstract A number of new nitric oxide (NO)-precursors were synthesized by grafting nitrate-containing moieties on the structures of the benzyloxy isonipecotanilide derivatives 1 and 2 already reported as moderately potent antiplatelet agents. Various nitrooxy (ONO2)-alkyl side chains were covalently linked to the piperidine nitrogen of the parent compounds through carbamate and amide linkage, and the synthesis of a benzyl nitrate analog (15) of compound 1 was also achieved. The in vitro vasodilatory activities, as well as platelet anti-aggregatory effects, of the newly synthesized organic nitrates were assessed. The (ONO2)methyl carbamate-based derivative 5a and the benzyl nitrate analog 15, which on the other hand retain activity as inhibitors of ADP-induced platelet aggregation, exhibited strong NO-mediated vasodilatory effects on pre-contracted rat aorta strips, with EC50 values in the low nanomolar range (13 and 29 nM, respectively). Experiments carried out with the selectively inhibited soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), which is the key enzyme of the NO-mediated pathway leading to vascular smooth muscle relaxation, confirmed the involvement of NO in the observed vasodilation. The nitrate derivatives proved to be stable in acidic aqueous solution and at pH 7.4. In human serum, unlike 5a, which showed not to undergo enzyme-catalyzed decomposition, the other tested (ONO2)-alkyl carbamate-based compounds (5b and 5e) and benzyl nitrate 15 underwent a faster degradation. However, their decomposition rates in serum were quite slow (t1/2 > 2.6 h), which suggests that nitrate moiety is poorly metabolized in blood plasma and that much of the in vitro anti-platelet activity has to be attributed to the intact (ONO2)-containing molecules.

- Profluorogenic reductase substrate for rapid, selective, and sensitive visualization and detection of human cancer cells that overexpress NQO1
-
Achieving the vision of identifying and quantifying cancer-related events and targets for future personalized oncology is predicated on the existence of synthetically accessible and economically viable probe molecules fully able to report the presence of these events and targets in a rapid and highly selective and sensitive fashion. Delineated here are the design and evaluation of a newly synthesized turn-on probe whose intense fluorescent reporter signature is revealed only through probe activation by a specific intracellular enzyme present in tumor cells of multiple origins. Quenching of molecular probe fluorescence is achieved through unique photoinduced electron transfer between the naphthalimide dye reporter and a covalently attached, quinone-based enzyme substrate. Fluorescence of the reporter dye is turned on by rapid removal of the quinone quencher, an event that immediately occurs only after highly selective, two-electron reduction of the sterically and conformationally restricted quinone substrate by the cancer-associated human NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase isozyme 1 (hNQO1). Successes of the approach include rapid differentiation of NQO1-expressing and -nonexpressing cancer cell lines via the unaided eye, flow cytometry, fluorescence imaging, and two-photon microscopy. The potential for use of the turn-on probe in longer-term cellular studies is indicated by its lack of influence on cell viability and its in vitro stability.

- In vitro and in vivo investigation of dexibuprofen derivatives for CNS delivery
-
Aim:Dexibuprofen, the S(+)-isomer of ibuprofen, is an effective therapeutic agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. However, its clinical use is hampered by a limited brain distribution. The aim of this study was to design and synthesize brain-targeting dexibuprofen prodrugs and to evaluate their brain-targeting efficiency using biodistribution and pharmacokinetic analysis.Methods:In vitro stability, biodistribution and pharmacokinetic studies were performed on male Sprague-Dawley rats. The concentrations of dexibuprofen in biosamples, including the plasma, brain, heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney, were measured using high pressure lipid chromatography (HPLC). The pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug in the plasma and tissues were calculated using obtained data and statistics.Results:Five dexibuprofen prodrugs that were modified to contain ethanolamine-related structures were designed and synthesized. Their chemical structures were confirmed using 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, IR, and HRMS. In the biodistribution study, 10min after intravenous administration of dexibuprofen (11.70 mg/kg) and its prodrugs (the dose of each compound was equivalent to 11.70 mg/kg of dexibuprofen) in male Sprague-Dawley rats, the dexibuprofen concentrations in the brain and plasma were measured. The C brain /C plasma ratios of prodrugs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were 17.0-, 15.7-, 7.88-, 9.31-, and 3.42-fold higher than that of dexibuprofen, respectively (P0.01). Thus, each of the prodrugs exhibited a significantly enhanced brain distribution when compared with dexibuprofen. In the pharmacokinetic study, prodrug 1 exhibited a brain-targeting index of 11.19 {DTI=(AUC brain /AUC plasma) 1 /(AUC brain /AUC plasma) dexibuprofen }.Conclusion:The ethanolamine-related structures may play an important role in transport across the brain blood barrier.

- Engineering an antibiotic to fight cancer: Optimization of the novobiocin scaffold to produce anti-proliferative agents
-
Development of the DNA gyrase inhibitor, novobiocin, into a selective Hsp90 inhibitor was accomplished through structural modifications to the amide side chain, coumarin ring, and sugar moiety. These species exhibit ?700- fold improved anti-proliferative activity versus the natural product as evaluated by cellular efficacies against breast, colon, prostate, lung, and other cancer cell lines. Utilization of structure- activity relationships established for three novobiocin synthons produced optimized scaffolds, which manifest midnanomolar activity against a panel of cancer cell lines and serve as lead compounds that manifest their activities through Hsp90 inhibition.

- Design and synthesis of novel human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)/epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dual inhibitors bearing a pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine scaffold
-
Dual inhibitors of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have been investigated for breast, lung, gastric, prostate, and other cancers; one, lapatinib, is currently approved for breast cancer. To develop novel HER2/EGFR dual kinase inhibitors, we designed and synthesized pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives capable of fitting into the receptors' ATP binding site. Among the prepared compounds, 34e showed potent HER2 and EGFR (HER1) inhibitory activities as well as tumor growth inhibitory activity. The X-ray cocrystal structures of 34e with both HER2 and EGFR demonstrated that 34e interacts with the expected residues in their respective ATP pockets. Furthermore, reflecting its good oral bioavailability, 34e exhibited potent in vivo efficacy in HER2-overexpressing tumor xenograft models. On the basis of these findings, we report 34e (TAK-285) as a promising candidate for clinical development as a novel HER2/EGFR dual kinase inhibitor.
