Synthesis and biological activity of alkynoic acids derivatives against mycobacteria

2-Alkynoic acids have bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis but their activity fall sharply as the length of the carbon chain increased. In this study, derivatives of 2-alkynoic acids were synthesized and tested against fast- and slow-growing mycobacteria. Their activity was first evaluated in M. smegmatis against their parental 2-alkynoic acids, as well as isoniazid, a first-line antituberculosis drug. The introduction of additional unsaturation or heteroatoms into the carbon chain enhanced the antimycobacterial activity of longer chain alkynoic acids (more than 19 carbons long). In contrast, although the modification of the carboxylic group did not improve the antimycobacterial activity, it significantly reduced the toxicity of the compounds against eukaryotic cells. Importantly, 4-(alkylthio)but-2-ynoic acids, had better bactericidal activity than the parental 2-alkynoic acids and on a par with isoniazid against the slow-grower Mycobacterium bovis BCG. These compounds had also low toxicity against eukaryotic cells, suggesting that they could be potential therapeutic agents against other types of topical mycobacterial infections causing skin diseases including Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium ulcerans, and Mycobacterium leprae. Moreover, they provide a possible scaffold for future drug development.
Synthesis of α-O- and α-S-glycosphingolipids related to sphingomonous cell wall antigens using anomerisation
Pilgrim, Wayne,O'Reilly, Ciaran,Murphy, Paul V.
, p. 11198 - 11218 (2013/10/22)
Analogues of glycolipids from Spingomonadacaece with O- and S- and SO 2-linkages have been prepared using chelation induced anomerisation promoted by TiCl4. Included are examples of the anomerisation of intermediates with O- and S-glycosidic linkages as well as isomerisation of β-thioglycuronic acids (β-glycosyl thiols). The β-O-glucuronide and β-O-galacturonide precursors were efficiently prepared using benzoylated trichloroacetimidates. β-Glycosyl thiols were precursors to β-S-derivatives. Triazole containing mimics of the natural glycolipids were prepared using CuI promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions in THF. The glycolipid antigens are being evaluated currently for their effects on iNKT cells.
Synthesis and evaluation of sphingolipid analogues modification of the hydroxy group at C(1) of 7-oxasphingosine, and of the hydroxy group at C(1) and the amide group of 7-oxaceramides

experimental part, p. 705 - 724 (2010/04/23)
The analogues 7-9 of 7-oxaceramide and 7-oxasphingosine were synthesized from the known azidosphingosine 21. The 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole analogues 10-16 of ceramides were synthesized by the click reaction of the known azide 24. None of the analogues 7-15 was active as inhibitor of SPHK type 1 and of acid sphingomyelinase, whereas 16 is a weak inhibitor of SPHK1. Triazoles 10, 11, and 15 did not inhibit ceramide phosphorylation by CerK, and none of 7, 8, and 10-15 activated invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell clones when presented by human CD1d-transfected antigen-presenting cells (APC) or by plate-bound human CD1d [55]. Triazoles 14 and 15 prevent binding of α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) to plate-bound human CD1d and subsequent T-cell response to α-GalCer. Only 15 reduced activation by α-GalCer significantly and independently of the cytokine measured.
A convenient scalable one-pot conversion of esters and Weinreb amides to terminal alkynes
Dickson, Hamilton D.,Smith, Stephon C.,Hinkle, Kevin W.
, p. 5597 - 5599 (2007/10/03)
Esters and amides undergo reduction to the corresponding aldehydes using DIBAL-H followed by same pot conversion to terminal alkynes utilizing the Bestmann-Ohira reagent in good to excellent yields. Additionally chiral nonracemic substrates undergo this transformation with complete preservation of stereochemical integrity.
A Novel Transformation of Esters to Alkynes with 1-Substituted Benzotriazoles

Reactions of lithio benzotriazol-1-yl derivatives 2, 11, and 25 with aromatic and aliphatic esters 3, 12, and 26 gave α-(benzotriazol-l-yl) ketones 4, 13, and 27, respectively, in high yields. Alternatively, α-(benzotriazol-l-yl) ketones 22 can be accessed by the reaction of α-(benzotriazol-1-yl) esters 20 with Grignard reagents. Condensation of 4, 13, 22, and 27 with (p-toluenesulfonyl)hydrazine provided p-tosylhydrazones 5, 14, 21, and 28. Treatment of hydrazones 5, 21, and 28 with n-butyllithium in diethyl ether resulted in the elimination of the tosyl group, dinitrogen, and benzotriazolyl group to afford the corresponding acetylenes 9, 23, and 29 in good yields. When α-(benzotriazol-l-yl) 1-α-phenoxy hydrazones 14 were treated with methyllithium, n-butyllithium, or phenyllithium, alkynes 18 were obtained, in which phenoxy groups were replaced by the lithium reagents.
