8‐[(1H‐1,2,3‐benzotriazol‐1‐yl)amino]octanoic acid (8-BOA) was recently identified as a selective and potent mechanism-based inactivator (MBI) of breast cancer-associated CYP4Z1 and exhibited favourable inhibitory activity in vitro, thus meriting in vivo characterization. The pharmacokinetics and metabolism of 8-BOA in rats was examined after a single IV bolus dose of 10 mg/kg. A biphasic time-concentration profile resulted in relatively low clearance and a prolonged elimination half-life. The major circulating metabolites identified in plasma were products of β-oxidation; congeners losing two and four methylene groups accounted for >50% of metabolites by peak area. The –(CH2)2 product was characterized previously as a CYP4Z1 MBI and so represents an active metabolite that may contribute to the desired pharmacological effect. Ex vivo analysis of total CYP content in rat liver and kidney microsomes showed that off-target CYP inactivation was minimal; liver microsomal probe substrate metabolism also demonstrated low off-target inactivation. Standard clinical chemistries provided no indication of acute toxicity. In silico simulations using the free concentration of 8-BOA in plasma suggested that the in vivo dose used here may effectively inactivate CYP4Z1 in a xenografted tumour.

Flavoprotein oxidases can catalyze oxidations of alcohols and amines by merely using molecular oxygen as the oxidant, making this class of enzymes appealing for biocatalysis. The FAD-containing (FAD=flavin adenine dinucleotide) alcohol oxidase from P. chrysosporium facilitated double and triple oxidations for a range of aliphatic diols. Interestingly, depending on the diol substrate, these reactions result in formation of either lactones or hydroxy acids. For example, diethylene glycol could be selectively and fully converted into 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid. Such a facile cofactor-independent biocatalytic route towards hydroxy acids opens up new avenues for the preparation of polyester building blocks.

Rational design of ligands for regioselective transformations is one of the long pursuing targets in the field of transition metal catalysis. In the current contribution, we report OrthoDIMphos (L2), a ligand that was designed for regioselective hydroformylation of 3-butenoic acid and its derivatives. The previously reported ParaDIMphos (L1) based hydroformylation catalyst was very selectively producing the linear aldehyde when substrates were bound in its pocket via hydrogen bonding. However, the distance between the binding site and the rhodium center was too large to also address 3-butenoic acid and its derivatives. We therefore designed OrthoDIMphos (L2) as new ligand which has a shorter distance between the DIM-receptor and the catalytic center. The OrthoDIMphos (L2) based catalyst displays high regioselectivity in the hydroformylation of 3-butenoic acid and challenging internal alkene analogue (l/b up to 84, TON up to 630), which cannot be achieved with the ParaDIMphos (L1) catalyst. Detailed studies show that the OrthoDIMphos (L2) based catalyst forms a dimeric structure, in which the two ligands coordinate to two different rhodium metals. Substrate binding to the DIM-receptor is required to break up the dimeric structure, and as only the monomeric analogue is a selective catalyst, the outcome of the reaction is dependent on substrate concentration used in catalysis.
