Dimethyl sulfide-mediated electrochemical synthetic strategy for esterification of amino acids has been reported. A series of amino acids could react smoothly with alcohols, affording the desired esterification products with good efficiency. Importantly, the tolerance of peptides and gram-scale synthesis shed light on the utility of this protocol. Mechanistically, the dimethyl sulfide as a mediator plays an essential role in the transformation of amino acids.

Subunit-selective proteasome inhibitors are valuable tools to assess the biological and medicinal relevance of individual proteasome active sites. Whereas the inhibitors for the β1c, β1i, β5c, and β5i subunits exploit the differences in the substrate-binding channels identified by X-ray crystallography, compounds selectively targeting β2c or β2i could not yet be rationally designed because of the high structural similarity of these two subunits. Here, we report the development, chemical synthesis, and biological screening of a compound library that led to the identification of the β2c- and β2i-selective compounds LU-002c (4; IC50 β2c: 8 nM, IC50 β2i/β2c: 40-fold) and LU-002i (5; IC50 β2i: 220 nM, IC50 β2c/β2i: 45-fold), respectively. Co-crystal structures with β2 humanized yeast proteasomes visualize protein-ligand interactions crucial for subunit specificity. Altogether, organic syntheses, activity-based protein profiling, yeast mutagenesis, and structural biology allowed us to decipher significant differences of β2 substrate-binding channels and to complete the set of subunit-selective proteasome inhibitors.
COMBINATION OF A SELECTIVE HISTONE DEACETYLASE 3 (HDAC3) INHIBITOR AND AN IMMUNOTHERAPY AGENT FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER

Paragraph 0807; 0821; 0822, (2019/07/29)
Aspects of the disclosure relate to compositions, kits, and methods for the treatment of cancer that utilize a selective histonc deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) inhibitor. In some aspects, the compositions, kits, and methods relate to use of a selective HDAC3 inhibitor in combination with an immunotherapy agent (e.g., an immune checkpoint inhibitor).

A series of novel tetrapeptidyl epoxyketone inhibitors of 20S proteasome was designed and synthesized. To fully understand the SAR, various groups at R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 positions, including aromatic and aliphatic substituents were designed, synthesized and biologically assayed. Based on the enzymatic results, seven compounds were selected to evaluate their cellular activities and soluble compound 36 showed strong potency against human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines. Microsomal stability results indicated that compound 36 was more stable in mice, rat and human microsomes than marketed carfilzomib. The in vivo activities of this compound were evaluated with the xenograft mice models of MM cell lines ARH77 and RPMI-8226 with luciferase expression and the T/C value of the two models were 49.5% and 37.6%, respectively. To evaluate the potential cardiovascular toxicity, inhibition of hERG ion channel in HEK293 cells by compound 36 and carfilzomib was carried out. The results indicated that 36 had no binding affinity for the hERG ion channel while carfilzomib could bind it with IC50 of 92.1 μM.

An efficient and straightforward orthogonal methodology was successfully developed to achieve constrained l-prolyl-l-leucylglycinamide (PLG) analogues starting from two proline mimetics based on a 2-azanorbornane scaffold. A preliminary dopamine D2 receptor radiolabeled binding assay with [3H]-N-propylnorapomorphine shows that enantiopurity of PLG peptidomimetics based on 2-azanorbornane is a requirement to achieve statistically significant positive modulators of the D2 receptor. This is the first documented active peptidomimetic of PLG whose bioactivity is not correlated with the C-terminal carboxamide pharmacophore and which cannot adopt the hypothesized type II β-turn conformation.

Selective inhibition of KDAC isoforms while maintaining potency remains a challenge. Using the largazole macrocyclic depsipeptide structure as a starting point for developing new KDACIs with increased selectivity, a combination of four different simplified largazole analogue (SLA) scaffolds with diverse zinc-binding groups (for a total of 60 compounds) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated against class I KDACs 1, 3, and 8, and class II KDAC6. Experimental evidence as well as molecular docking poses converged to establish the cyclic tetrapeptides (CTPs) as the primary determinant of both potency and selectivity by influencing the correct alignment of the zinc-binding group in the KDAC active site, providing a further basis for developing new KDACIs of higher isoform selectivity and potency.
