- A new class of fluorinated 5-pyrrolidinylsulfonyl isatin caspase inhibitors for PET imaging of apoptosis
-
Thirteen compounds in a new class of fluorinated 5-pyrrolidinylsulfonyl isatin derivatives were synthesised that have potent and selective inhibitory activity against effector caspases-3 and -7. With in vivo animal PET imaging studies of cerebral ischemia being planned, N-benzylation with selected para-substituted benzylic halides allowed systematic variation of lipophilicity (logP 1.94-3.31) without decreasing inhibition potency (IC50). From this series the p-methoxybenzyl analogue was selected for initial 'proof-of-concept' [18F]-fluoride radiolabelling which proceeded in good yield and purity with no need for a protection/deprotection strategy.

- Larger scale Stahl oxidation with instant Cu removal in convenient synthesis of chiral bidentate N–heterocyclic carbene precursor
-
Commercially available N-Boc protected L-proline can be efficiently converted into a chiral, bidentate, aminoalkyl N-heterocyclic carbene ligand precursor in high yield (50% total after 4 steps) without column chromatography purification at any moment. The developed synthetic path includes: (1) redox step leading to an aldehyde, (2) imine condensation and in situ reduction to 1,2-diamine; (3) heterocyclization; (3) removal of the protecting group. Instant separation of Cu traces after the key Stahl oxidation at gram-scale was facilitated by the use of bis(isocyanide) scavenger, SnatchCat, forming insoluble, easy to remove RNC:→[Cu] complexes that allowed usto obtain crude intermediate suitably pure for next steps without tedious purification.

- X-ray Structure-Guided Discovery of a Potent, Orally Bioavailable, Dual Human Indoleamine/Tryptophan 2,3-Dioxygenase (hIDO/hTDO) Inhibitor That Shows Activity in a Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease
-
Human indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (hIDO1) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (hTDO) have been closely linked to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD); nevertheless, development of dual hIDO1 and hTDO inhibitors to evaluate their potential efficacy against PD is still lacking. Here, we report biochemical, biophysical, and computational analyses revealing that 1H-indazole-4-amines inhibit both hIDO1 and hTDO by a mechanism involving direct coordination with the heme ferrous and ferric states. Crystal structure-guided optimization led to23, which manifested IC50values of 0.64 and 0.04 μM to hIDO1 and hTDO, respectively, and had good pharmacokinetic properties and brain penetration in mice.23showed efficacy against the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced mouse motor coordination deficits, comparable to Madopar, an anti-PD medicine. Further studies revealed that different from Madopar,23likely has specific anti-PD mechanisms involving lowering IDO1 expression, alleviating dopaminergic neurodegeneration, reducing inflammatory cytokines and quinolinic acid in mouse brain, and increasing kynurenic acid in mouse blood.

- l -Proline as a Valuable Scaffold for the Synthesis of Novel Enantiopure Neonicotinoids Analogs
-
In this research, six neonicotinoid analogs derived from l-proline were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated as insecticides against Xyleborus affinis. Most of the target compounds showed good to excellent insecticidal activity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report dealing with the use of enantiopure l-proline to get neonicotinoids. These results highlighted the compound 9 as an excellent candidate used as the lead chiral insecticide for future development. Additionally, molecular docking with the receptor and compound 9 was carried out to gain insight into its high activity when compared to dinotefuran. Finally, the neurotoxic evaluation of compound 9 showed lower toxicity than the classic neonicotinoid dinotefuran.

- Synthesis and photophysics of benzazole based triazoles with amino acid-derived pendant units. Multiparametric optical sensors for BSA and CT-DNA in solution
-
Herein we report the synthesis of a series of amino acid-derived triazoles by an organocatalytic cycloaddition reaction between azides and carbonyl compounds, catalyzed by a simple amine. These compounds present absorption maxima located in the UV-B ascribed to fully spin and symmetry allowed electronic transitions and a main fluorescence emission in the UV-A (~380 nm) with a relatively large Stokes shift (5700 cm?1). No significant solvatochromism was observed in both ground and excited states. Unexpectedly, the benzoxazole derivatives presented much higher fluorescence quantum yield values (40–80%) of compared to the sulfur analogues (3–6%). In addition, the DNA binding assays indicated that these compounds presented strong interaction with CT-DNA, which could be attributed to π-stacking and intermolecular hydrogen-bonding. The interaction of the benzazoles with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was also investigated, where a suppression mechanism was observed. In each case, docking was performed to better understand the observed interactions.

- Synthesis and evaluation of in vivo anti-hypothermic effect of all stereoisomers of the thyrotropin-releasing hormone mimetic: Rovatirelin Hydrate
-
We discovered the orally active thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) mimetic: (4S,5S)-5-methyl-N-{(2S)-1-[(2R)-2-methylpyrrolidin-1-yl]-1-oxo-3-(1,3-thiazol-4-yl)propan-2-yl}-2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidine-4-carboxamide 1 (rovatirelin). The central nervous system (CNS) effect of rovatirelin after intravenous (iv) administration is 100-fold higher than that of TRH. As 1 has four asymmetric carbons in its molecule, there are 16 stereoisomers. We synthesized and evaluated the anti-hypothermic effect of all stereoisomers of 1, which has the (4S),(5S),(2S),(2R) configuration from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, in order to clarify the structure?activity relationship (SAR) of stereoisomers. The (4R),(5R),(2R),(2S)-isomer 16 did not show any anti-hypothermic effect. Only the (4S),(5S),(2S),(2S)-isomer 10, which has the (2S)-2-methylpyrrolidine moiety at the C-terminus showed the anti-hypothermic effect similar to 1. Stereoisomers, which have the (5R) configuration of the oxazolidinone at the N-terminus and the (2R) configuration at the middle-part, showed a much lower anti-hypothermic effect than that of 1. On the other hand, stereoisomers, which have the (4R) configuration of the oxazolidinone at the N-terminus or the (2S) configuration of the C-terminus, have little influence on the anti-hypothermic effect.

Chiral N,N′-dioxide catalysts were designed based on isosteric approach. Using L-Proline as the starting material, a variety of chiral N,N′-dioxide ligands were obtained via conventional functional group transformations and were utilized in asymmetric Henry reactions between nitromethane and aromatic aldehydes. Using the N,N′-dioxide-copper(II) complexes as the catalysts, asymmetric Henry reaction produced the corresponding β-nitroalcohols in up to 66% yields and up to 83% ee's under mild conditions. The reactions were easy to carry out, and special care such as air or moisture-free conditions was not required.

- Synthesis of Amino Acid-Derived 1,2,3-Triazoles: Development of a Nontrivial Fluorescent Sensor in Solution for the Enantioselective Sensing of a Carbohydrate and Bovine Serum Albumin Interaction
-
A series of amino acid-derived 1,2,3-triazoles presenting the amino acid and the aromatic moieties connected by a triazole-4-carboxylate spacer is discussed in this work. These compounds were achieved in good yields by organocatalytic enamine-azide [3 + 2] cycloadditions. One of the molecules obtained, bearing a 7-chloroquinoline moiety, was photoactive in the UV-violet region and was successfully employed as a probe for substrate-specific enantiomeric sensing using d-(-)-arabinose and l-(+)-arabinose. The potential application as a fluorescent probe to detect protein in phosphate buffer solution was also explored using as model bovine serum albumin (BSA). The studied compounds presented both suppression and association behavior in the presence of BSA. In addition, theoretical calculations were performed at levels ωB97XD/cc-pVDZ and PBE1PBE/6-311+G(d,p) together with the polarizable continuum model to understand the interaction of the molecules with the enantiomers.

- Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction to access Nβ-protected amino alkyl isothiocyanates
-
A unified approach to access Nβ-protected amino alkyl isothiocyanates using Nβ-protected amino alkyl azides through a general strategy of Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction is described. The type of protocol used to access isothiocyanates depends on the availability of precursors and also, especially in the amino acid chemistry, on the behavior of other labile groups towards the reagents used in the protocols; fortunately, we were not concerned about both these factors as precursor-azides were prepared easily by standard protocols, and the present protocol can pave the way for accessing title compounds without affecting Boc, Cbz and Fmoc protecting groups, and benzyl and tertiary butyl groups in the side chains. The present strategy eliminates the need for the use of amines to obtain title compounds and thus, this method is step-economical; additional advantages include retention of chirality, convenient handling and easy purification. A few hitherto unreported compounds were also prepared, and all final compounds were completely characterized by IR, mass, optical rotation, and 1H and 13C NMR studies.

- Prolinamides of Aminouracils, Organocatalyst Modifiable by Complementary Modules
-
We report the synthesis and evaluation of prolinamide organocatalysts that incorporate aminouracils. The features of these catalysts are enhanced NH acidity of the amide because of the electron-withdrawing nature of the heterocycle, an additional hydrogen-bond donor at the α or β positions of this functional group (using 6-aminouracil or 5,6-diaminouracil respectively), and it can be recovered due to its low solubility and used again without decreasing the enantioselectivity. A unique feature of these systems is the self-assembly capability with complementary modules by Watson–Crick interactions. These supramolecular adducts behave differently from the catalyst alone, some of them have lower performance but others improve the selectivity of the product. Therefore, this approach avoids the synthesis of many catalysts.

- Induction of cell killing and autophagy by amphiphilic pyrrolidine derivatives on human pancreatic cancer cells
-
We have synthesized a wide array of structurally related amphiphilic compounds, containing a functionalized pyrrolidine polar group coupled to different ether-linked hydrocarbon chains, to generate novel structures with antitumor activity. These newly synthesized amphiphilic pyrrolidine-derived compounds were classified in three different sub-libraries regarding the number of hydroxyl groups substituting the pyrrolidine moiety at C3 and C4. Pyrrolidine compounds with one or none hydroxyl groups showed a potent cell killing activity against pancreatic cancer cells, but they lacked selectivity for tumor cells. Pyrrolidine compounds with two hydroxyl groups induced cell death in a wide variety of pancreatic cancer cell lines, and they were somewhat less cytotoxic to normal non-tumor cells. Among these latter compounds, the diol-derived pyrrolidine 20 ((2R,3R,4S)-2-{(9Z)-hexadec-9-en-1-yloxy]methyl}pyrrolidine-3,4-diol) induced autophagy and a potent apoptotic response in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells, which was inhibited by Bcl-XL overexpression and by caspase inhibition, in a way similar to that of the amphiphilic ether lipid edelfosine, with which it was compared. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of autophagy potentiated 20-mediated apoptosis. These structure-activity relationship studies point out the importance of the diol polar group and aliphatic side chain of 20 in promoting apoptosis against pancreatic cancer cells in a rather controlled way, and some additional subtle modifications were found to be potential modulators of the cytotoxic activity.

- Enantioselective Synthesis of 6,6-Disubstituted Pentafulvenes Containing a Chiral Pendant Hydroxy Group
-
Simple enantioselective synthesis of 6,6-disubstituted pentafulvenes bearing chiral pendant hydroxy groups are attained by cascade reactivity using commercially available proline-based organocatalysts. Condensation of cyclopentadiene with the acetyl function of a 1,2-formylacetophenone, followed by cyclization of a resulting fulvene-stabilized carbanion with the formyl group, generates bicyclic chiral alcohols with initial er values up to 94:6. Exceptional enantio-enrichment of the resultant alcohols results upon crystallization—even near racemic samples spontaneously de-racemize. This enables new families of substituted cyclopentadienes that are both enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure to be rapidly attained.

Homologation of readily available α-boryl pyrrolidines with metal carbenoids is especially challenging even when good leaving groups (Cl?) are employed. By performing a solvent switch from Et2O to CHCl3, efficient 1,2-metalate rearrangement of the intermediate boronate occurs with both halide and ester leaving groups. The methodology was used in the total synthesis of the Stemona alkaloid (?)-stemaphylline in just 11 steps (longest linear sequence), with high stereocontrol (>20:1 d.r.) and 11 % overall yield. The synthesis also features a late-stage lithiation–borylation reaction with a tertiary amine containing carbenoid.

The stereoselective syntheses of N-Boc-Dap (4a) and N-Boc-(2S)-iso-Dap (4b) were performed by employing crotylation of N-Boc-L-prolinal as a key step. Barbier-type allylation of N-Boc-L-isoleucinal provided a mild and convenient approach for the synthesis of N-Boc-Dil (5a) and N-Boc-(3S)-iso-Dil (5b). Ten dolastatin 10 analogues have been designed and synthesized with N-terminal modifications based on the known compound monomethylauristatin F (MMAF, 3). In comparison with MMAF (3), four of the compounds showed enhanced potency against HCT 116 human colon cancer cells in?vitro.

- Prolyl 4-hydroxylase: Substrate isosteres in which an (E)- or (Z)-alkene replaces the prolyl peptide bond
-
Collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylases (CP4Hs) catalyze a prevalent posttranslational modification, the hydroxylation of (2S)-proline residues in protocollagen strands. The ensuing (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline residues are necessary for the conformational stability of the collagen triple helix. Prolyl peptide bonds isomerize between cis and trans isomers, and the preference of the enzyme is unknown. We synthesized alkene isosteres of the cis and trans isomers to probe the conformational preferences of human CP4H1. We discovered that the presence of a prolyl peptide bond is necessary for catalysis. The cis isostere is, however, an inhibitor with a potency greater than that of the trans isostere, suggesting that the cis conformation of a prolyl peptide bond is recognized preferentially. Comparative studies with a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii P4H, which has a similar catalytic domain but lacks an N-terminal substrate-binding domain, showed a similar preference for the cis isostere. These findings support the hypothesis that the catalytic domain of CP4Hs recognizes the cis conformation of the prolyl peptide bond and inform the use of alkenes as isosteres for peptide bonds.

- Trisubstituted Pyridinylimidazoles as Potent Inhibitors of the Clinically Resistant L858R/T790M/C797S EGFR Mutant: Targeting of Both Hydrophobic Regions and the Phosphate Binding Site
-
Inhibition of the epidermal growth factor receptor represents one of the most promising strategies in the treatment of lung cancer. Acquired resistance compromises the clinical efficacy of EGFR inhibitors during long-term treatment. The recently discovered EGFR-C797S mutation causes resistance against third-generation EGFR inhibitors. Here we present a rational approach based on extending the inhibition profile of a p38 MAP kinase inhibitor toward mutant EGFR inhibition. We used a privileged scaffold with proven cellular potency as well as in vivo efficacy and low toxicity. Guided by molecular modeling, we synthesized and studied the structure-activity relationship of 40 compounds against clinically relevant EGFR mutants. We successfully improved the cellular EGFR inhibition down to the low nanomolar range with covalently binding inhibitors against a gefitinib resistant T790M mutant cell line. We identified additional noncovalent interactions, which allowed us to develop metabolically stable inhibitors with high activities against the osimertinib resistant L858R/T790M/C797S mutant.

- Novel reversible methionine aminopeptidase-2 (MetAP-2) inhibitors based on purine and related bicyclic templates
-
The natural product fumagillin 1 and derivatives like TNP-470 2 or beloranib 3 bind to methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP-2) irreversibly. This enzyme is critical for protein maturation and plays a key role in angiogenesis. In this paper we describe the synthesis, MetAP-2 binding affinity and structural analysis of reversible MetAP-2 inhibitors. Optimization of enzymatic activity of screening hit 10 (IC50: 1?μM) led to the most potent compound 27 (IC50: 0.038?μM), with a concomitant improvement in LLE from 2.1 to 4.2. Structural analysis of these MetAP-2 inhibitors revealed an unprecedented conformation of the His339 side-chain imidazole ring being co-planar sandwiched between the imidazole of His331 and the aryl-ether moiety, which is bound to the purine scaffold. Systematic alteration and reduction of H-bonding capability of this metal binding moiety induced an unexpected 180° flip for the triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimdine bicyclic template.

- Design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel Akt1 inhibitors based on an indole scaffold
-
A new series of potential Akt1 inhibitors with indole scaffold were designed and synthesized. The antiproliferative activity against PC-3 cell line and enzyme inhibitory activity against Akt1 were evaluated. Among them, some compounds showed much more potent antiproliferative activity and stronger Akt1 inhibitory activity compared to the positive control of GSK690693. In particular, compound 19b exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against Akt1 with inhibition rate of 70.3% at a concentration of 10?nm. Furthermore, compound 19b could dose dependently reduce the phosphorylation of the downstream GSK3β protein in the PC-3 cell line and displayed fivefold higher antiproliferative activity against PC-3 cell line with IC50 value of 3.1?±?0.1?μm than positive control (15.5?±?0.4?μm). Herein, compound 19b may serve as a promising lead for further optimization and development of novel Akt1 inhibitors based on an indole scaffold.

- Rhodium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis of β-Branched Amides
-
A general asymmetric route for the one-step synthesis of chiral β-branched amides is reported through the highly enantioselective isomerization of allylamines, followed by enamine exchange, and subsequent oxidation. The enamine exchange allows for a rapid and modular synthesis of various amides, including challenging β-diaryl and β-cyclic.

- Stereoselective Modulation of P-Glycoprotein by Chiral Small Molecules
-
Inhibition of drug efflux pumps such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an approach toward combating multidrug resistance, which is a significant hurdle in current cancer treatments. To address this, N-substituted aryloxymethyl pyrrolidines were designed and synthesized in their homochiral forms in order to investigate the stereochemical requirements for the binding site of P-gp. Our study provides evidence that the chiral property of molecules could be a strategy for improving the capacity for interacting with P-gp, as the most active compounds of the series stereoselectively modulated this efflux pump. The naphthalene-1-yl analogue (R)-2-[(2,3-dichlorophenoxy)methyl]-1-(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)pyrrolidine) [(R)-7 a] emerged foremost for its potency and stereoselectivity toward P-gp, with the S enantiomer being nearly inactive. The modulation of P-gp by (R)-7 a involved consumption of ATP, thus demonstrating that the compound behaves as a P-gp substrate.

- Organocatalysis Intermediates as Platforms to Study Noncovalent Interactions: Integrating Fluorine Gauche Effects in Iminium Systems to Facilitate Acyclic Conformational Control
-
Achieving acyclic conformational control over several bonds has been realized by the strategic installation of a vicinal difluoroethane bridge in a generic proline-derived organocatalyst. The torsion angle φFCCF is governed by stabilizing hyperconjugative interactions (σ→σ?), thus ensuring a 60° relationship. This effect has been telescoped by positioning a stereogenic fluorine center proximal to the nucleophilic amine. Upon iminium formation, this center is rendered electron deficient, thus triggering a dynamic fluorine iminium ion gauche effect. Consequently, conformational control over five atoms and four bonds can be achieved by reversible formation of an iminium π-bond.

- Pyrrolidine modified PANF catalyst for asymmetric Michael addition of ketones to nitrostyrenes in aqueous phase
-
Three chiral pyrrolidine functionalized polyacrylonitrile fiber catalysts have been designed, prepared, and evaluated for their catalytic performance in asymmetric Michael addition of ketones to nitrostyrenes in water. With the optimized catalysts and conditions in hand, their reaction scope for nitrostyrenes was explored. Then the fiber catalysts were further applied to a packed-bed reactor for continuous-flow Michael addition. Based on the fact that organic solvent can inhibit the catalytic activity, a novel microenvironment catalytic mechanism is proposed.

- The discovery of potent nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) inhibitors with a unique resistance profile - Part 1
-
Nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) represents a novel target for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Daclatasvir, recently reported by Bristol-Myers-Squibb, is a potent NS5A inhibitor currently under investigation in phase 3 clinical trials. While the performance of daclatasvir has been impressive, the emergence of resistance could prove problematic and as such, improved analogues are being sought. By varying the biphenyl-imidazole unit of daclatasvir, novel inhibitors of HCV NS5A were identified with an improved resistance profile against mutant strains of the virus while retaining the picomolar potency of daclatasvir. One compound in particular, methyl ((S)-1-((S)-2-(4-(4-(6-(2-((S)-1-((methoxycarbonyl)-L-valyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl) -1H-imidazol-5-yl)quinoxalin-2-yl)phenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyrrolidin-1-yl) -3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)carbamate (17), exhibited very promising activity and showed good absorption and a long predicted human pharmacokinetic half-life. This compound represents a promising lead that warrants further evaluation. Resisting resistance: An investigation into the anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) replicon activity of a series of biaryl-linked pyrrolidine NS5A inhibitors explored a diverse range of core structure modifications as key determinants of antiviral activity and susceptibility to common resistance mutations. Further evaluation of several core structure designs identified a compound with excellent pharmacokinetics, suitable for once daily dosing.
