Synthesis and evaluation of a phosphonate analogue of the soluble guanylate cyclase activator YC-1

, p. 4938 - 4941 (2007)
Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is activated by the known benzylindazole derivative YC-1 [1-benzyl-3-(5′-hydroxymethyl-2′-furyl)-indazole]. YC-1 also acts synergistically with CO, activating sGC to a level comparable to that achieved upon binding of nitric oxide, the endogenous activator of sGC. We here describe the synthesis of a YC-1 phosphonate analogue with improved aqueous solubility as well as its effects on sGC.

Dihydroxyacetone phospate (DHAP,7) and bromoacetol phospate (BAP,6) were synthesized in four and five steps, respectively, starting from 1,3- dibromoacetone (2). The key step involves desymetrization and ketone protection of 2 to prepare alcohol 3. Phosphorylation of 3 followed by hydrogenolysis and then deprotection of the ketal function afforded 6. A solution of 7 was prepared after treatment of 6 with NaOH. This route allows a short and convenient preparation of DHAP in large scale and high purity for application to the synthesis of sugar derivatives and preparation of BAP for triosephosphate isomerase inhibition.

1-Deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate (DXP) is a key intermediate in the non-mevalonate pathway to terpenoids in bacteria, and it is the substrate for the enzyme 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXP-R). In order to study the mechanism of DXP-R, we required a flexible synthesis of the substrate which would allow the incorporation of isotopic labels, and the variation of the two stereocentres. Thus 1,4-dihydroxypent-2-yne was selectively reduced to give the E-olefin, and selective phosphorylation of the primary alcohol followed by oxidation of the secondary alcohol gave a substrate suitable for dihydroxylation. Dihydroxylation using stoichiometric OsO4 in the presence of chiral ligands gave protected DXP in high ee. Final hydrogenolysis gave DXP in quantitative yield and high purity. DXP-R was produced by rapid cloning of the dxr gene from Escherichia coli through controlled expression and ion exchange chromatography. The synthetic DXP was fully active in enzyme assays catalysed by recombinant DXP-R.

Xanthophyll carotenoids of the C40 series, which includes commercially important compounds such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin, have poor aqueous solubility in the native state. Hawaii Biotech, Inc. (HBI) and others have shown that the aqueous dispersibility of derivatized carotenoids can be increased by varying the chemical structure of the esterified moieties. In the current study, the published series of novel, highly water-dispersible C40 carotenoid derivatives has been extended to include (3R,3′R,6′R)- lutein (β,ε-carotene-3,3′-diol) derivatives. Two novel derivatives were synthesized by esterification with inorganic phosphate and succinic acid, respectively, and subsequently converted to the sodium salts. Red-orange, clear, aqueous suspensions were obtained after addition of these novel derivatives to USP-purified water. Aqueous dispersibility of the disuccinate sodium salt of lutein was 2.85 mg/mL; the diphosphate salt demonstrated a >10-fold increase in dispersibility at 29.27 mg/mL. As reported previously, these aqueous suspensions were obtained without the addition of heat, detergents, co-solvents, or other additives. The direct aqueous superoxide scavenging abilities of these novel derivatives were subsequently evaluated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in a well-characterized in vitro isolated human neutrophil assay. The novel derivatives were nearly identical aqueous-phase scavengers, demonstrating dose-dependent suppression of the superoxide anion signal (as detected by spin-trap adducts of DEPMPO) in the millimolar range. These lutein-based soft drugs will likely find utility in those commercial and clinical applications for which aqueous-phase singlet oxygen quenching and direct radical scavenging may be required.
Silver-Catalyzed Regioselective Phosphorylation of para-Quinone Methides with P(III)-Nucleophiles

A simple and efficient method for the silver-catalyzed regioselective phosphorylation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with P(III)-nucleophiles (P(OR)3, ArP(OR)2, Ar2P-OR) has been established via Michaelis-Arbuzov-type reaction. A broad range of P(III)-nucleophiles and para-quinone methides are well tolerated under the mild conditions, giving the expected diarylmethyl-substituted organophosphorus compounds with good to excellent yields. Moreover, a series of corresponding enantiomers can be obtained by employing dialkyl arylphosphonite (ArP(OR)2) as substrates. The control experiments and 31P NMR tracking experiments were also performed to gain insights for the plausible reaction mechanism. This protocol may have significant implications for the formation of C(sp3)-P bonds in Michaelis-Arbuzov-type reactions.
Latent Ruthenium Benzylidene Phosphite Complexes for Visible-Light-Induced Olefin Metathesis

Herein we report two ruthenium benzylidene complexes with benzylphosphite ligands for olefin metathesis. Unlike the previously reported benzylidene phosphite complexes, the benzylphosphite complexes adopt a cis-dichloro configuration making them latent at ambient temperatures. Irradiation with visible light (420 nm and blue LED) prompts activation of the complexes and induces catalysis of olefin metathesis reactions. One of the complexes, cis-Ru-1, was found to be especially suitable for 3D printing of multilayered polydicyclopentadiene structures with excellent spatial resolutions. Additionally, complex cis-Ru-2 was designed with a chromatic orthogonal "kill switch" based on the 2-nitrobenzyl chemistry, allowing the destruction of the catalyst upon exposure to UV-C light.
Reagents with a Crystalline Coat

Tetrakis(dimethoxyphenyl)adamantane (TDA) readily forms crystalline inclusion complexes with reactive, toxic, or malodorous reagents, such as benzoyl chloride, acetyl chloride, cyclohexyl isocyanide, phosphorus trichloride, and trimethylsilyl chloride. The crystals are stable and largely free of the problematic properties of the free reagents. When exposed to solvents such as DMSO or MeOH, the reagents react, and a large portion of the TDA precipitates. The TDA-coated reagents may lead to a safer way of storing, handling, and delivering reagents, and ultimately to synthetic protocols that do not require fume hoods.

DXP synthase-catalyzed c-n bond formation: Nitroso substrate specificity studies guide selective inhibitor design

1-Deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) synthase catalyzes the first step in the nonmammalian isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway to form DXP from pyruvate and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (D-GAP) in a thiamin diphosphate-dependent manner. Its unique structure and mechanism distinguish DXP synthase from its homologues and suggest that it should be pursued as an anti-infective drug target. However, few reports describe any development of selective inhibitors of this enzyme. Here, we reveal that DXP synthase catalyzes C-N bond formation and exploit aromatic nitroso substrates as active site probes. Substrate specificity studies reveal a high affinity of DXP synthase for aromatic nitroso substrates compared to the related ThDP-dependent enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH). Results from inhibition and mutagenesis studies indicate that nitroso substrates bind to E. coli DXP synthase in a manner distinct from that of D-GAP. Our results suggest that the incorporation of aryl acceptor substrate mimics into unnatural bisubstrate analogues will impart selectivity to DXP synthase inhibitors. As a proof of concept, we show selective inhibition of DXP synthase by benzylacetylphosphonate (BnAP).

Chaperoning an enzyme: Fluorosugar glycosidase inactivators with tunable phosphorus-based leaving groups react quickly with the catalytic nucleophile in β glucocerebrosidase (blue circle; Bn=benzyl). In Western blot analysis, Gaucher patient cells treated with these inactivators show increased intracellular levels of mutant enzyme, presumably because of increased transit from the endoplasmic reticulum (pale blue) to the lysosome (pale pink).
