New Thailandepsin B pseudo-natural products have been prepared. Our synthetic strategy offers the possibility to introduce varying warheads via late stage modification. Additionally, it gives access to the asymmetric branched allylic ester moiety of the natural product in a highly diastereoselective manner applying rhodium-catalyzed hydrooxycarbonylation. The newly developed pseudo-natural products are extremely potent and selective HDAC inhibitors. The non-proteinogenic amino acid d-norleucine was obtained enantioselectively by a recently developed method of rhodium-catalyzed hydroamination.
AMINO ACID ANALOGUES AND METHODS FOR THEIR SYNTHESIS
-
Page/Page column 48-49, (2014/01/18)
A method for the synthesis of an amino acid analogue or a salt, solvate, derivative, isomer or tautomer thereof comprising the steps of: (i) subjecting an amino acid containing a metathesisable group to metathesis with a compound containing a complementary metathesisable group of formula (I) or (II): (Formulae (I), (II)) wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from H and substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C4 alkyl; each R3 is either absent or independently selected from a heteroatom, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 alkyl, and a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C20 alkyl group interrupted by one or more heteroatoms; and each X is independently selected from H and an effector molecule; in the presence of a reagent to catalyse the metathesis to form a dicarba bridge between the amino acid containing a metathesisable group and the compound containing a complementary metathesisable group; and (ii) reducing the dicarba bridge to form a saturated dicarba bridge, wherein the reagent used to catalyse step (i) also catalyses step (ii).
Novel selective inhibitors of the interaction of individual nuclear hormone receptors with a mutually shared steroid receptor coactivator 2

Nuclear hormone receptor (NR) signaling, currently a therapeutic target in multiple diseases, involves an ordered series of protein interactions to regulate transcription in response to changing hormone levels. Later steps in the process of ligand-dependent signaling are driven by a highly conserved interaction between the NRs and the steroid receptor coactivators (SRCs) that is effected by a conserved interaction motif (L1XXL2L3), known as an NR box. Using computational design and combinatorial chemistry, we have produced novel ∞-helical proteomimetics of the second NR box of SRC2 that exploit structural differences between human estrogen receptor ∞ (hER∞), human estrogen receptor β (hERβ), and human thyroid hormone receptor β (hTRβ). The resulting library sequentially replaced each leucine with non-natural side chains. Screening this library using a quantitative competition assay revealed compounds that selectively inhibit the interaction of SRC2-2 with each individual NR in preference to its interaction with the other NR. This approach generated highly selective compounds from one that had no specificity for a particular family member. These compounds represent the first family-member-selective competitive inhibitors of the protein interactions of transcription factors. Copyright
