Despite of proven efficacy and well tolerability, albomycin is not used clinically due to scarcity of material. Several attempts have been made to increase the production of albomycin by chemical or biochemical methods. In the current study, we have synthesized the active moiety of albomycin δ1 and investigated its binding mode to its molecular target seryl-trna synthetase (SerRS). In addition, isoleucyl and aspartyl congeners were prepared to investigate whether the albomycin scaffold can be extrapolated to target other aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) from both class I and class II aaRSs, respectively. The synthesized analogues were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the corresponding aaRSs by an in vitro aminoacylation experiment using purified enzymes. It was observed that the diastereomer having the 5′S, 6′R-configuration (nucleoside numbering) as observed in the crystal structure, exhibits excellent inhibitory activity in contrast to poor activity of its companion 5′R,6′S-diasteromer obtained as byproduct during synthesis. Moreover, the albomycin core scaffold seems well tolerated for class II aaRSs inhibition compared with class I aaRSs. To understand this bias, we studied X-ray crystal structures of SerRS in complex with the albomycin δ1 core structure 14a, and AspRS in complex with compound 16a. Structural analysis clearly showed that diastereomer selectivity is attributed to the steric restraints of the active site of SerRS and AspRS.

Abstract: A continuous flow procedure for the synthesis of methyl glycosides (Fischer glycosylation) of various monosaccharides using a heterogenous catalyst has been developed. In-depth analysis of the isomeric composition was undertaken and high consistency with corresponding results observed under microwave heating was obtained. Even in cases where addition of water was needed to achieve homogeneity—a prerequisite for the flow experiments—no detrimental effect on the conversion was found. The scalability was demonstrated on a model case (mannose) and as part of the target-oriented synthesis of d-glycero-d-manno heptose, both performed on multigram scale.

Random copolymers of ?-caprolactone with O-benzyl-protected 4-hydroxy- or 2,4-dihydroxy-δ-valerolactone after hydrogenation form γ-hydroxy functionalized polyesters that degrade via the cyclization to γ-butyrolactone fragments without carboxylic acid formation.
