- Demonstrating Ligandability of the LC3A and LC3B Adapter Interface
-
Autophagy is the common name for a number of lysosome-based degradation pathways of cytosolic cargos. The key components of autophagy are members of Atg8 family proteins involved in almost all steps of the process, from autophagosome formation to their selective fusion with lysosomes. In this study, we show that the homologous members of the human Atg8 family proteins, LC3A and LC3B, are druggable by a small molecule inhibitor novobiocin. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of the 4-hydroxy coumarin core scaffold were performed, supported by a crystal structure of the LC3A dihydronovobiocin complex. The study reports the first nonpeptide inhibitors for these protein interaction targets and will lay the foundation for the development of more potent chemical probes for the Atg8 protein family which may also find applications for the development of autophagy-mediated degraders (AUTACs).

- A Structure-Reactivity Relationship of the Tandem Asymmetric Dihydroxylation on a Biologically Relevant Diene: Influence of Remote Stereocenters on Diastereofacial Selectivity
-
The Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) finds widespread use in natural product and drug molecule syntheses, in part, due to its efficiency and predictability. However, the tandem AD of dienes is much less studied, but important in complex molecular synthesis. Herein, a biologically relevant tandem AD is reported, and several anomalies are discovered with the accepted model. These include the formation of unpredicted diastereoisomers, with matched and mismatched stereocenters contradicting the Sharpless mnemonic device. From a structural analysis of the tandem AD, we present a strategy to improve asymmetric induction in sterically hindered alkenes using double diastereodifferentiation from a 9-bond distant stereocenter. A theoretical justification for the unpredicted stereoselectivity, accounting for the influence of steric hindrance and pre-installed chirality, is proposed.

- The curved front row neil intermediate preparation method
-
The invention relates to a preparation method for a treprostinil intermediate (I). The preparation method comprises the steps that: a compound of a formula (II) and a compound of a formula (III) or acidic salt thereof react in the presence of a condensing agent to obtain a compound of a formula (IV); the compound of the formula (IV) and a compound of a formula (V) react to obtain a compound of a formula (I). According to the preparation method for the treprostinil intermediate, weinreb amide and alkyne negative ions react to directly obtain a ketone compound (I), so that environment pollution caused by heavy metal (a PCC oxidant) is avoided, and the adoption of a butyl lithium low-temperature reaction method is also avoided. The preparation method for the treprostinil intermediate has the advantages that reaction conditions are mild, the yield is high, the purity of products is high, and the industrial application prospect is wide. (Formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV) and (V) are shown in the specification)

- Sulfoximine-Assisted One-Pot Unsymmetrical Multiple Annulation of Arenes: A Combined Experimental and Computational Study
-
Discussed herein is an unprecedented Ru-catalyzed one-pot unsymmetrical C-H difunctionalization of arenes comprising intramolecular hydroarylation of olefins and intermolecular annulation of alkynes. This unprecedented 2-fold C-H functionalization is validated on the basis of experimental and density functional theory (DFT) study. The transformation readily occurs with the assistance of methylphenyl sulfoximine (MPS) directing group in the presence of Ru catalyst forming two C-C and one C-N bonds in a single operation. The overall process is atom economical and step-efficient and provides unusual dihydrofuran-fused isoquinolone heterocycles. Further annulation of NH and the proximal o-C-H-arene of isoquinolone with alkynes build highly conjugated novel polycyclic compounds. Overall, three independent annulations in arene motifs are visualized and thoughtfully executed; finally, 5 ring-fused structural entities are constructed forming three C-C and two C-N bonds.

- Nano-dispersed platinum(0) in organically modified silicate matrices as sustainable catalysts for a regioselective hydrosilylation of alkenes and alkynes
-
Nano-dispersed platinum(0) particles stabilized in a range of organically modified silicate (ORMOSIL) matrices are investigated as sustainable catalysts for the hydrosilylation of alkenes and alkynes. In this study, five different siloxane matrices including triethoxysilane (HTEOS), methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), ethyltriethoxysilane (ETES), triethoxyvinylsilane (TEVS) and propyltriethoxysilane (PTES) are investigated, and the distribution of the metal particles in these materials analyzed by transition electron microscopy (TEM). The particles appeared to be generally of a small size, with a diameter of ca. 2-5 nm in each of these catalysts, however the distribution is not equally uniform from one matrix to the other. HTEOS, MTES and ETES that respectively carry a hydrogen, a methyl and an ethyl group on the triethoxysilane moiety, displayed a more uniform distribution, while particles appeared to be more scattered in the remaining matrices. Catalysts with a uniform particles distribution produced higher and consistent yields, while those with poor particles distribution produced lower and almost random yields, suggesting that the uniformity in particle distribution, and by extension the nature of the siloxane matrix, are important for the catalytic properties of these materials. The scope of the reaction was broadened to a range of olefins, with a goal of investigating the tolerability of the reaction toward a number of reactive functional groups, resulting in the preparation of 28 compounds. This catalytic system also enabled the hydrosilylation of a limited number of alkynes under the optimized reaction conditions.

- Ruthenium-Catalyzed Hydroarylation and One-Pot Twofold Unsymmetrical C?H Functionalization of Arenes
-
A methyl phenyl sulfoximine (MPS) is used as a directing group in the ruthenium-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of alkene-tethered benzoic acid derivatives to afford dihydrobenzofurans and indolines in good to excellent yields. A one-pot, unsymmetrical, twofold C?H functionalization involving intramolecular C?C and intermolecular C?C/C?N bond formations is successfully demonstrated by using a single set of catalytic reaction conditions, which is unprecedented thus far. A novel isoquinolone-bearing dihydrobenzofuran is constructed through an unsymmetrical twofold C?H functionalization.

- Design, synthesis and pharmacology of 1,1-bistrifluoromethylcarbinol derivatives as liver X receptor β-selective agonists
-
A novel series of 1,3-bistrifluoromethylcarbinol derivatives that act as liver X receptor (LXR) β-selective agonists was discovered. Structure-activity relationship studies led to the identification of molecule 62, which was more effective (Emax) and selective toward LXRβ than T0901317 and GW3965. Furthermore, 62 decreased LDL-C without elevating the plasma TG level and significantly suppressed the lipid-accumulation area in the aortic arch in a Bio F1B hamster fed a diet high in fat and cholesterol. We demonstrated that our LXRβ agonist would be potentially useful as a hypolipidemic and anti-atherosclerotic agent. In this manuscript, we report the design, synthesis and pharmacology of 1,3-bistrifluoromethylcarbinol derivatives.

- Synthesis of modified carboxyl binding pockets of vancomycin and teicoplanin
-
Sixteen-membered macrocycle 3 and 16+14 bicyclic compound 4, incorporating a terminal primary hydroxyl group in the peptide sequence, have been designed and synthesized. The syntheses feature the use of an efficient cycloetherification based on an intramolecular S(N)Ar reaction for the formation of biaryl ether bonds. Cyclization of linear tetrapeptide 30, prepared via a convergent [2+2] segment coupling between 26 and 29, gave macrocycle 31 (P configuration) as a single isolable atropisomer. Removal of the Boc protecting group afforded the modified carboxyl binding pocket of vancomycin 3. A sequential 2-fold intramolecular S(N)Ar reaction has been used to construct the model bicyclic system (i.e. 4) of the D-O-E-F-O-G ring of teicoplanin. Cyclization conditions (CsF, DMF, room temperature) are sufficiently mild that the configuration of the racemization-prone arylglycine residue was not affected. Chiral building blocks such as D-(1R)-[2-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]1-[3-(allyloxy)phenyl]ethyl]am ine 16, and L-(S)-N-Boc-[3-(isopropyloxy)phenyl]glycine (32) were synthesized employing Evans' asymmetric azidation method, while L-(S)-4-fluoro-3-nitrophenylalanine methyl ester 23 was prepared using Schollkopf's bislactim ether as chiral glycine template. Compound 3 showed interesting conformational properties compared to vancomycin and its binding with Ac-D-Ala was studied by NMR titration experiments. A dissociation constant (Kd) = 5 x 10-4) was calculated by a curve fitting method. Compound 4 is currently the most advanced synthetic intermediate toward the total synthesis of teicoplanin.
