Photoreversible prodrugs and protags: Switching the release of maleimides by using light under physiological conditions
G?stl, Robert,Hecht, Stefan
, p. 4422 - 4427 (2015)
A water-soluble furyl-substituted diarylethene derivative has been prepared that can undergo reversible Diels-Alder reactions with maleimides to yield photoswitchable Diels-Alder adducts. Employing bioorthogonal visible light, the release of therapeutically effective concentrations of maleimide-based reactive inhibitors or labels from these "prodrugs" or "protags" could be photoreversibly triggered in buffered, aqueous solution at body temperature. It is shown how the release properties can be fine-tuned and a thorough investigation of the release dynamics is presented. Our system should allow for spatiotemporal control over the inhibition and labeling of specific protein targets and is ready to be surveyed in living organisms.
9,10-Dibromo-N-aryl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-[3,4]epipyrroloanthracene-12,14-diones: Synthesis and Investigation of Their Effects on Carbonic Anhydrase Isozymes I, II, IX, and XII

N-substituted maleimides were synthesized from maleic anhydride and primary amines. 1,4-Dibromo-dibenzo[e,h]bicyclo-[2,2,2]octane-2,3-dicarboximide derivatives (4a-f) were prepared by the [4+2] cycloaddition reaction of dibromoanthracenes with the N-substituted maleimide derivatives. The carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitory effects of the new derivatives were assayed against the human (h) isozymes hCA I, II, IX, and XII. All tested bicyclo dicarboximide derivatives exhibited excellent inhibitory effects in the nanomolar range, with Ki values in the range of 117.73-232.87 nM against hCA I and of 69.74-111.51 nM against hCA II, whereas they were low micromolar inhibitors against hCA IX and XII. A series of 9,10-dibromo-N-aryl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-[3,4]epipyrroloanthracene-12,14-diones (4a-f) were synthesized from N-substituted maleimide derivatives and 9,10-dibromoanthracene. Compounds 4a-f were assayed against human carbonic anhydrases (hCA) IX and XII, which are the two tumor-associated isozymes, and hCA I and II, which represent the most common off-targets for the development of selective anticancer CA inhibitors.

A metal-free system has been discovered for the efficient α-oxygenation of tertiary amines to the corresponding amides using oxygen as an oxidant. This visible-light-mediated oxygenation reaction exhibited excellent substrates scope under mild reaction conditions and generated water as the only byproduct. The synthetic utility of this approach has been demonstrated by applying onto drug molecules. At the end, detailed mechanistic reactions clearly showed the role of oxygen and the photocatalyst.

The Diels–Alder (DA) reaction, a [4+2] cycloaddition reaction, is highly important in synthetic organic chemistry and is frequently used in the synthesis of natural products containing six-membered rings. Herein, we report an efficient protocol for the DA reaction between 9-hydroxymethylanthracene and N-substituted maleimides using two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO) as a heterogeneous carbocatalyst in an aqueous medium at room temperature. High yields, a wide substrate scope, low temperature, excellent functional group tolerance, atom economy, and water as a green solvent are noteworthy features of this protocol. The heterogeneous GO catalyst can be easily recovered and used multiple times without any significant loss in catalytic activity.
