While direct photo-addition of glycine-methyl-esters (GME) to [60]fullerene (C60) can yield a complex product mixture, only a fulleropyrrolidine (FP) mono-adduct has been characterized and the mechanism remains to be ascertained. We show here that visible light irradiation of a mixture of C 60 and GME in the presence of oxygen is a direct route to synthesize sequentially higher FP poly-adducts through an unprecedented cyclization-deamination mechanism. Each step of this mechanism leads to a FP adduct involving the correlated addition of two GME radicals and the departure of an ammonia molecule.

The dissociation of anionic dipeptides Phe*Gly and GlyPhe*, where Phe* refers to sulfonated phenyl alanine, has been investigated by using ion trap mass spectrometry. The dipeptides undergo collision-induced dissociation (CID) to give the same products, indicating that they rearrange to a common structure before dissociation. The rearrangement does not occur with the dipeptide methyl esters. The structures of the b2 ions were investigated to determine the effect that having a remote, anionic site has on product formation. Comparison with the CID spectra for authentic structures shows that the b2 ion obtained from GlyPhe* has predominantly a diketopiperazine structure. The CID spectra for the Phe*Gly b2 ion and the authentic oxazolone are similar, but differences in intensity suggest a two-component mixture. Isotopic labeling studies are consistent with the formation of two products, with one resulting from loss of a non-mobile proton on the Gly α-carbon. The results are attributed to the formation of an oxazole and oxazolone enol product. Electronic structure calculations predict that the enol structure of the Phe*Gly b2 ion is lower in energy than the keto version due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the sulfonate group.

Modification of amino acids is an important strategy in organic and bioorganic chemistry. In contrast to common side-chain functionalization, backbone modification is much less explored. Especially glycine units seem to be attractive and versatile since a wide range of functionality can be potentially introduced. We report here oxidative modification of glycinates that are stable and enable further functionalization. Selective glycinate enolate oxidation by TEMPO or a FeCp2PF6/TEMPO reagent combination provides stable alkoxyamines in good to excellent yields. The methodology is expanded to glycine-containing dipeptides demonstrating selective oxygenation at the glycine unit. The orthogonal reactivity potential of oxygenated glycines for transformation to other amino acid derivatives is explored.

Psammaplin A (PsA) is a bromotyrosine disulfide dimer with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition and acts through reduced monomer PsA-SH. We studied the connection of HDAC inhibition, cell growth inhibition, and apoptosis induction of PsA-SH by modifying the -SH group with deletion (6a) or replacement with hydroxamic acid (10b) or benzamide (12g). PsA-SH inhibits HDAC1/2/3 and 6a loses the HDAC inhibition ability. 10b inhibits HDAC1/2/3/6 while 12g shows selective inhibition of HDAC3. PsA-SH and 10b, but neither 6a nor 12g, induce apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60 cells associated with increased acetylation of Histone H3. PsA-SH and 10b inhibit growth of several solid tumor cell lines in vitro and Lewis lung cancer cell growth in vivo. PsA-SH is a simple scaffold for developing selective HDAC inhibitors and induces apoptosis through inhibiting HDAC1/2.

Aiming to discover novel high-efficient antifungal leads that possess an innovative action mechanism, twenty-three carboxylated pyrroline-2-one derivatives, bearing a phenylhydrazine moiety, were rationally designed and firstly prepared in this letter. The in vitro bioassays showed that most of the compounds possessed excellent antifungal effects with the EC50 values of less than 1 μg/mL against the phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium graminearum (Fg), Botrytis cinerea (Bc), Rhizoctonia solani (Rs) and Colletotrichum capsici (Cc). The further bioassays showed that the compound 6u showed the comparable in vivo control effect with carbendazim against fusarium head blight and rice sheath blight. The 3D-QSAR model revealed the pivotal effects of a bulky electron-donating group at the 1-position of pyrrole ring, a bulky electron-withdrawing group at the 4-position of phenyl ring and a small alkyl at the carbonate group on the anti-Rs activities of target compounds. The abnormal mycelial morphology and delayed spore germination were observed in the treatments of compound 6u. Given the excellent and broad-spectrum antifungal effects the target compounds have, we unfeignedly anticipated that the above finding could motivate the discovery of high-efficient antifungal leads, which might possess an innovative action mechanism against phytopathogenic fungi.

Pyrimidine antimetabolic agents are the essential drugs in treatment of various tumors. Novel synthesis and biological evaluation of the pyrimidine derivatives incorporating selenium element and amino acid carrier as potential antitumor agents have not been tried and studied. Based on the biological significance of pyrimidine structure, these two additional elemental fragments maybe enhance the antitumor effect and reduce toxic side effects of pyrimidine agents. The aim of this paper is to synthesis a series of 4-selenopyrimidine derivatives in order to find more potent lead compounds against cancer. In this study, 12 new 4-selenopyrimidine derivatives that are unstable in acidic solutions but very stable in alkaline and neutral solutions avoiding light were synthesized, and the antitumor activities on HepG2 cell lines of these compounds were evaluated by MTT assay. The results have shown that these compounds could reduce the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent fashion, and the inhibitory activity of compounds a6 was greater than that of positive control 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), the IC50 for a6 was 3.63 μM. In the comprehensive analysis of the structure–activity relationship, we could draw the antitumor effect of selenouracil derivatives is stronger than those of selenothymine derivatives. These results suggest that the substituent groups of selenium element and amino acid on the pyrimidine derivatives are vital for their antitumor activities on HepG2 cells.

Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) mediate a series of events related to cell growth, proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Overexpression of PI3Ks can lead to the dysregulation of cell homeostasis and cause tumorigenesis. In this study, rationally designed compounds were investigated as PI3Kα-selective inhibitors. Our efforts culminated in the discovery of a series of quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives with 2-substituted-N-methylpropanamide substitutions as PI3Kα-selective inhibitors. The best compound, 10, has PI3Kα enzymatic and cellular IC50 values of 1.8 and 12.1 nM, respectively. It exhibits biochemical selectivities for PI3Kα over PI3Kβ/δ/γof 150/7.72/7.67-fold and cellular selectivities of 115/15.1/>826-fold, respectively. Compound 10 is 59% orally bioavailable with a dose-normalized AUC of 3090 nM. These effects translated into in vivo conditions, as 10 significantly time- and dose-dependently inhibited phosphorylation of Akt in BT-474 subcutaneous xenograft mice and inhibited tumor growth.

The cleavage of amide bonds under mild acidic conditions is a rare chemical event. N-Acetamide bond of peptides is extremely stable even under the strongest organic acid trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. This report mechanistically describes a new cleavable amide bond in 4-aminopyrazolyloxy acetamide peptide analogues under mild acidic conditions such as trifluoroacetic acid (10-20%) or HCl (0.1-4.0 N) at room temperature, and the formation of unusual lactam from 4-aminopyrazolyloxy acetic acid after evaporation of solvent. This is a rare chemical event in peptide bond, which could be explored as acid-sensitive protecting group of free amines.
