, p. 16374 - 16378 (2015)
Constrained aminols from oxazanorbornene derivatives have the geometrical features to be used as β-turn inducers. Four different stereoisomers were prepared and spectroscopically characterized (MD calculations, NMR-titration and VT-NMR experiments). Temperature coefficients in DMSO are indicative for the existence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond. Chirooptical properties revealed a β-turn arrangement of all the synthesized compounds, where, depending on the absolute configuration of the cyclopentane spacer, they can be labeled as left- or right-handed turns.

Developing an efficient, concise synthesis of the fungal natural product illudalic acid has been a long-standing challenge, made more pressing by the recent discovery that illudalic acid and analogs are selective phosphatase inhibitors. Syntheses of illudalic acid have become progressively more efficient over the decades yet remain strategically grounded in a 17-step synthesis reported in 1977. Here we validate a two-step process—convergent [4 + 2] benzannulation and one-pot coordinated functional group manipulations—for preparing the key trifunctional pharmacophore of illudalic acid. The modular building blocks are readily available in 2-3 steps, for a longest linear sequence (LLS) of 5 steps to illudalic acid from 3,3-dimethylcyclopentanone. A small collection of analogous indanes and tetralins featuring the same pharmacophore were prepared by a similar route. These compounds potently and selectively inhibit the human leukocyte common antigen-related (LAR) subfamily of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Evidence supporting a postulated covalent ligation mechanism is provided herein.
Synthesis and evaluation of new 4-peptidamido-2-fluorobenzyl phosphoramide mustard conjugates as prodrugs activated by prostate-specific antigen

In our continued efforts to develop targeted prodrugs activated by prostate-specific antigen (PSA), we designed and synthesized novel phosphoramide mustard peptide conjugates using previously optimized PSA substrates. Initial Nu/Nu mouse PK studies indicated that prodrug I (glutaryl-Hyp-Ala-Ser-Chg-Gln-NH-2-F-Bn-phosphoramide mustard) exhibits high clearance with significant extrahepatic metabolism in vivo. Substrate optimization studies were thus carried out to further improve PSA specificity and enable the design of prodrugs with reduced in vivo clearance and enhanced tumor selectivity. To assess the utility of the newly optimized sequences as promoieties, they were coupled to phosphoramide mustard using a 4-amino-2-fluorobenzyl alcohol linker akin to prodrug I. In the presence of human PSA, prodrug I was rapidly cleaved with a half-life (t1/2) of 35 min. Prodrugs II (glutaryl-Ser-Ala-Ser-Chg-Gln-NH-2-F-Bn-phosphoramide mustard) and III (GABA ← mGly-Ala-Ser-Chg-Gln-NH-2-F-Bn-phosphoramide mustard) were hydrolyzed at slower rates with t1/2 values of 80 and 107 min, respectively. These results we observed here are different from our previously reported data but may be explained by the fact that PSA-activated release of phosphoramide mustard and reactive quinonimine methides resulted in mechanism-based inhibition of PSA, thereby preventing further hydrolysis of prodrugs I–III. Prodrug I was cytotoxic to PSA-producing LNCaP cells with an IC50 value of 7.3 μM and demonstrated 14-fold selectivity over the non-PSA-producing DU145. Despite its poor in vitro antiproliferative activity (IC50 = 30 μM), prodrug III was found to be more stable against non-PSA-mediated hydrolysis compared with prodrug I as revealed by metabolite profiling studies, which was in agreement with its improved stability in human hepatocyte cultures. These results suggested that a combination of the peptide sequence GABA ← mGly-Ala-Ser-Chg-Gln with optimal linkers and/or other cytotoxic agents can help achieve an adequate balance between PSA cleavage rate and enhanced resistance to non-PSA-mediated hydrolysis.

Biomimetic regioselective and high-yielding Cu(i)-catalyzed dimerization of sinapate esters in green solvent Cyrene: Towards sustainable antioxidant and anti-UV ingredients

Naturally occurring sinapic acid and its esters are anti-UV and antiradical chemicals. This work aimed at designing an industrially relevant sustainable synthetic pathway allowing their selective β-β′ dimerization to enhance their properties with a view to use them in commercial applications such as functional additives for cosmetics, plastics and food/feed. A copper(i)-catalyzed procedure involving pyridine and O2 from air was developed and greened up using the REACH-compliant bio-based solvent Cyrene. Upon optimizing further through design of experiments, this sustainable synthetic process was successfully implemented to various sinapate esters and was validated on the multigram scale. Antiradical activities of the resulting β-β′ disinapate esters were benchmarked against commercial antioxidants, whereas their UV absorbance was compared to that of sinapoyl malate, a natural anti-UV compound found in plants and that of Octinoxate, a widely used commercial sunscreen ingredient. Results showed that these dimers were better radical scavengers, and not only exhibited a better UV absorbance but also covered both UV-A and UV-B regions.

To improve aqueous solubility and anti-ischemic activity of 3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), we designed and synthesized the ring-opened derivative of NBP-ferulic acid-glucose trihybrids (S1-S8). These hybrids inhibited adenosine diphosphate (ADP)- or arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation, among them, S2 was 30-fold more water-soluble, and over 10-fold more potent in inhibition of platelet aggregation, as well as reduced ROS generation and protected primary neuronal cells from OGD/R-induced damage, in comparison with NBP. Additionally, S2 was more active than its three moieties alone or in combination, suggesting that the activity of S2 may be attributed to the synergistic effects of these moieties. Importantly, in vivo studies indicated that S2 not only possessed good pharmacokinetic profile, but also improved NBP distribution in rodent brain, suggesting that the glucose moiety in S2 may be recognized by glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) on blood-brain barrier (BBB), promoting it to penetrate through BBB. Our findings suggest that S2 may be a promising candidate for the intervention of ischemic stroke, warranting further study.

The Cs2CO3-mediated annulations ("Deslongchamps annulations") of three spirocyclic benzoquinone monoketals 5b-d with an ester or acyl substituent at C-2 to two tert-butyl esters of λδ-unsaturated β-ketocarboxyl acids ("Nazarov reagents" 2a,b) were monitored 1H NMR spectroscopically. This revealed that a primary product, by all likelihood the Michael adduct, forms fast and prior to the appearance of the Deslongchamps adduct. These primary products form reversibly. This was proved by two crossover and four scavenging experiments. Therein, components already incorporat.

Development of catalytic deacylative alkylations (DaA) of 3-acyl-2-oxindoles: total synthesis of meso-chimonanthine and related alkaloids

We present an effective deacylative alkylation strategy for the construction of a variety of 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary center at the pseudobenzylic position. A wide variety of products with quaternary centers could be accessed by employing simple Pd(0) catalysis under mild reaction conditions. Importantly, the same strategy works equally well for the dimeric 2-oxindole system, furnishing products with a vicinal quaternary center in favour of meso-isomer as the major product. Eventual application to the total syntheses of meso-chimonanthine and meso-folicanthine very well demonstrates the synthetic potential of this strategy.

The synthesis of a variety of 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary center at the pseudo benzylic position has been achieved via a 'transition-metal-free' intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling (IDC). The construction of 2-oxindole moieties was carried out through formation of carbon-carbon bonds using KOt-Bu-catalyzed one pot C-alkylation of β-N-arylamido esters with alkyl halides followed by a dehydrogenative coupling. Experimental evidences indicated toward a radical-mediated path for this reaction.
