A series of 32 heterocyclic analogues based on the structure of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) were synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit monoacylglycerol lipase and fatty acid amide hydrolase activities. The designed compounds feature a hydrophobic moiety and different heterocyclic subunits that mimic the glycerol fragment. This series has allowed us to carry out the first systematic structure-activity relationship study on inhibition of 2-AG hydrolysis. The most promising compounds were oxiran-2-ylmethyl (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-icosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoate (1) and tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2- ylmethyl (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-icosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoate (5). They inhibited cytosolic 2-oleoylglycerol (2-OG) hydrolysis completely (IC50 values of 4.5 and 5.6 μM, respectively). They also blocked, albeit less potently, 2-OG hydrolysis in membrane fractions (IC50 values of 19 and 26 μM, respectively) and anandamide hydrolysis (IC50 values of 12 and 51 μM, respectively). These compounds will be useful in delineating the importance of the cytosolic hydrolytic activity in the regulation of 2-AG levels and, hence, its potential as a target for drug development.

A novel precursor to the distonic O- and C-centered radical cations Oxo+O? and Oxo+C? was designed and synthesized, which represents model systems for radicals produced during polyester degradation. The precursor is equipped with a nitrate functional group, which serves as a masked site for these alkoxyl and carbon radicals that are unleashed through collision-induced dissociation (CID). Oxo+O? and Oxo+C? feature a cyclic carboxonium ion as permanent charge tag to enable monitoring their ion-molecule reactions on the millisecond to second time scale in the ion trap of the mass spectrometer. The reactions of Oxo+O? and Oxo+C? with cyclohexene, cyclohexadiene, ethyl acetate, 1,1-dimethoxyethane, and 1,2-dimethoxyethane, which exhibit structural features present in both intact and defective polyesters, were explored through product and kinetic studies to identify "hot spots" for radical-induced damage in polyesters. All reactions with Oxo+O? were extremely fast and proceeded predominantly through HAT. Oxo+C? was about two orders of magnitude less reactive and did not noticeably damage aliphatic ester moieties through hydrogen abstraction on the time scale of our experiments. Radical addition to alkene π systems was identified as an important pathway for C-radicals, which needs to be included in polymer degradation mechanisms.

Chiral binaphthyl-strapped Zn(II) porphyrins with triazolium halide units were synthesized as bifunctional catalysts for kinetic resolution of epoxides with CO2. Several catalysts were screened by changing the linker length and nucleophilic counteranions, and the optimized catalyst accelerated the enantioselective reaction at ambient temperature to produce optically active cyclic carbonates and epoxides.

The esterification of activated amides, N -acylsaccharins, under transition-metal-free conditions with good functional group tolerance has been developed, resulting in C-N cleavage leading to efficient synthesis of a variety of esters in moderate to good yields. This work demonstrates that esterification may proceed by using simple N -acylsaccharins, haloalkanes, and Cs 2 CO 3 as oxygen source.

Herein we report a novel synthetic reaction to convert unactivated terminal aliphatic epoxide to alkyl vicinal dichloride based on triphosgene-pyridine activation. Our methodology is operationally simple and readily tolerated by a broad of scope of substrates as well as protecting groups. Furthermore, these mild conditions generally yield clean reaction mixtures that are free of byproducts upon aqueous workup.

Catalytic transformation of glycidol while maintaining its epoxide moiety intact is challenging because the terminal epoxide that interacts with the hydroxyl group via a hydrogen bond is labile for the ring-opening reaction. We found that a quaternary alkyl ammonium salt catalyzes the selective transformation of glycidol to glycidyl esters by transesterification of methyl esters. The developed method can be applied to the synthesis of multiglycidyl esters, which are valuable epoxy resin monomers. Mechanistic studies revealed the formation of a binding complex of glycidol and quaternary alkyl ammonium salt in a nonpolar solvent and the generation of the alkoxide anion as a catalyst through the ring-opening reaction of the epoxide. Computational studies of the reaction mechanism indicated that the alkoxide anion derived from glycidol tends to abstract the proton of another glycidol rather than work as a nucleophile, initiating the catalytic transesterification. Payne rearrangement of the deprotonated glycidol, which produces a destabilized base that promotes nonselective reactions, is energetically unfavorable due to the double hydrogen bond between the anion and diol. The minimal interaction between the quaternary alkyl ammonium cation and the epoxide moiety inhibited the random ring-opening pathway leading to polymerization.

Cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR), an endogenous nucleotide derived from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), mobilizes Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via ryanodine receptors (RyRs), yet the bridging protein(s) between cADPR and RyRs remain(s) unknown. Here we synthesized a novel photoaffinity labeling (PAL) cADPR agonist, PAL-cIDPRE, and subsequently applied it to purify its binding proteins in human Jurkat T cells. We identified glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as one of the cADPR binding protein(s), characterized the binding affinity between cADPR and GAPDH in vitro by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay, and mapped cADPR's binding sites in GAPDH. We further demonstrated that cADPR induces the transient interaction between GAPDH and RyRs in vivo and that GAPDH knockdown abolished cADPR-induced Ca2+ release. However, GAPDH did not catalyze cADPR into any other known or novel compound(s). In summary, our data clearly indicate that GAPDH is the long-sought-after cADPR binding protein and is required for cADPR-mediated Ca2+ mobilization from ER via RyRs.

Among chiral macrocycles 1 synthesized, 1m with the 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylethynyl group was the best organocatalyst for the enantioselective synthesis of cyclic carbonates from disubstituted or monosubstituted epoxides and CO2. The X-ray crystal structure of 1m revealed a well-defined chiral cavity with multiple hydrogen-bonding sites that is suitable for the enantioselective activation of epoxides. A catalytic cycle proposed was supported by DFT calculations.
