The cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP199A4, from Rhodopseudomonas palustris strain HaA2, can efficiently demethylate 4-methoxybenzoic acid via hemiacetal formation and subsequent elimination of formaldehyde. Oxidative demethylation of a methoxy group para to the carboxyl moiety is strongly favoured over reaction at one in the ortho or meta positions. Dimethoxybenzoic acids containing a para-methoxy group were also efficiently demethylated exclusively at the para position. The presence of additional methoxy substituents reduces the substrate binding affinity and the activity compared to 4-methoxybenzoic acid. The addition of the smaller hydroxy group to the ortho or meta positions or of a nitrogen heteroatom in the aromatic ring of the 4-methoxybenzoate skeleton was better tolerated by the enzyme and these analogues were also readily demethylated. There was no evidence of methylenedioxy ring formation with 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid, an activity which is observed with certain plant CYP enzymes with analogous substrates. CYP199A4 is also able to deprotect the methylenedioxy group of 3,4-(methylenedioxy)benzoic acid to yield 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid and formic acid. This study defines the substrate range of CYP199A4 and reveals that substrates without a para substituent are not oxidised with any significant activity. Therefore para-substituted benzoic acids are ideal substrate scaffolds for the CYP199A4 enzyme and will aid in the design of optimised probes to investigate the mechanism of this class of enzymes. They also allow an assessment of the potential of CYP199A4 for synthetic biocatalytic processes involving selective oxidative demethylation or demethenylation.

Synthesis of the naturally occurred C- and O-prenylated tetrahydroxystilbenes and O-prenylated cinnamates was carried out by decarbonylative Heck reaction and selenium dioxide catalysed oxidation, respectively. In the decarbonylative Heck synthetic route, fusion of benzoyl chloride and styrene derivatives was catalysed by an N-heterocyclic carbene system generated in situ by palladium acetate and 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl) imidazolinium chloride to form a E-tetrahydroxystilbene derivative. Formation of allyl ether was subsequently carried out by reaction of the deprotected OH in the A phenyl ring of the stilbene with 3,3-dimethylallyl bromide and a base (sodium hydride) to form O-prenylated tetrahydroxystilbene derivatives. [1,5]-Rearrangement of the isoprenyl unit from O- to C-position in the A ring was carried out at elevated temperature in the presence of magnesium silicate (Florisil) to form the corresponding C-prenylated tetrahydroxystilbene. Formation of O-prenylated cinnamate was first carried out by base catalysed allyl ether formation between 3,3-dimethylallyl bromide and hydroxycinnamic acid methyl ester. The methyl group of the isoprenyl unit was subsequently oxidized using selenium dioxide to form a terminal hydroxyl group. The prenylated tetrahydroxystilbenes and cinnamate synthesized in this study were novel derivatives of piceatannol and methyl 4-(3′-methylbut-2′-enyloxy) cinnamate isolated from propolis in Kangaroo Island, South Australia. The synthetic compounds were tested against K562 cancer cells and potent growth inhibitory activity was observed for E-1-[5-hydroxy-3-methoxy-2-(3-methyl-2- butenyl)phenyl]-2-[4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl]ethene, IC50 = 0.10 μM.

The high-resolution X-ray crystal structures of the carbohydrate recognition domain of human galectin-3 were solved in complex with N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) and the high-affinity inhibitor, methyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(3-deoxy-3-[4-methoxy-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzamido] -β-D-galactopyranose)-β-D-glucopyranoside, to gain insight into the basis for the affinity-enhancing effect of the 4-methoxy-2,3,5,6- tetrafluorobenzamido moiety. The structures show that the side chain of Arg144 stacks against the aromatic moiety of the inhibitor, an interaction made possible by a reorientation of the side chain relative to that seen in the LacNAc complex. Based on these structures, synthesis of second generation LacNAc derivatives carrying aromatic amides at 3′-C, followed by screening with a novel fluorescence polarization assay, has led to the identification of inhibitors with further enhanced affinity for galectin-3 (Kd ≥ 320 nM). The thermodynamic parameters describing the binding of the galectin-3 C-terminal to selected inhibitors were determined by isothermal titration calorimetry and showed that the affinity enhancements were due to favorable enthalpic contributions. These enhancements could be rationalized by the combined effects of the inhibitor aromatic structure on a cation-Π interaction and of direct interactions between the aromatic substituents and the protein. The results demonstrate that protein-ligand interactions can be significantly enhanced by the fine-tuning of arginine-arene interactions.

By the novel reaction of 3,5-dimethoxyfluorobenzene with n-alkyl-lithium compounds, followed by carbonation, homologous orsellinic acid dimethyl ethers (6-alkyl-2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acids) have been obtained.The reactions proceeded best with the homologues of methyl-lithium.These reactions are considered to occur by way of 3,5-dimethoxybenzyne. 2,4-Dimethoxyfluorobenzene did not form an aryne but gave 3-fluoro-2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid instead.Decomposition with water of alkyl-lithium reaction mixtures from 3,5-dimethoxyfluorobenzene yielded 5-n-alkylresorcinol dimethyl ethers.Demethylaton of 6-alkyl-2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acids with boron trichloride proceeded partially and selectively to give the 6-alkyl-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acids, and completely with aluminium chloride to give the homologous orsellinic acids.Boron tribromide was less effective, but readily gave the 5-alkyl resorcinols from the corresponding dimethyl ethers.
