Rhodesain is a major cysteine protease of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, a pathogen causing Human African Trypanosomiasis, and a validated drug target. Recently, we reported the development of α-halovinylsulfones as a new class of covalent reversible cysteine protease inhibitors. Here, α-fluorovinylsulfones/-sulfonates were optimized for rhodesain based on molecular modeling approaches. 2d, the most potent and selective inhibitor in the series, shows a single-digit nanomolar affinity and high selectivity toward mammalian cathepsins B and L. Enzymatic dilution assays and MS experiments indicate that 2d is a slow-tight binder (Ki = 3 nM). Furthermore, the nonfluorinated 2d-(H) shows favorable metabolism and biodistribution by accumulation in mice brain tissue after intraperitoneal and oral administration. The highest antitrypanosomal activity was observed for inhibitors with an N-terminal 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxine group and a 4-Me-Phe residue in P2 (2e/4e) with nanomolar EC50 values (0.14/0.80 μM). The different mechanisms of reversible and irreversible inhibitors were explained using QM/MM calculations and MD simulations.

Paragraph 0113-0115, (2020/08/18)
The invention belongs to the field of chemical pharmacy, and relates to active ingredient tanshinol and H in Chinese herbal medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza. 2 S/NO Donors and its preparation method and use in pharmacy, especially in the preparation of medicines for preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and inflammation related diseases. To the invention, through in-vitro oxidative stress injury and inflammation model experiments, the results show that H is obviously inhibited. 2 O2 In vivo activity experiment results show that the conjugate is capable of remarkably inhibiting the release of inflammatory cytokines induced by LPS (LPS), reducing inflammation-induced mouse peritoneal macrophages, obviously inhibiting the release of inflammatory cytokines induced by LPS, and showing the result that the compound can be used for preparing drugs for preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and inflammatory diseases.

L-Ser is often used to synthesize some significant l-noncanonical α-amino acids(l-ncAAs), which are the prevalent intermediates and precursors for functional synthetic compounds. In this study, threonine aldolase from Escherichia coli k-12 MG1655 has been used to synthesize l-Ser. In contrast to the maximum catalytic capacity (20 g/L) for l-threonine aldolase(LTA), d-Ser was synthesized with high yield (240 g/L) from cheap Gly and paraformaldehyde using d-threonine aldolase (DTA) from Arthrobacter sp ATCC. In order to fully utilize d-Ser and expand the resource of l-Ser, a dynamic kinetic resolution system was constructed to convert d/dl-Ser to l-Ser through combining alanine racemase (Alr) from Bacillus subtilis with l-tryptophan synthase (TrpS) from Escherichia coli k-12 MG1655, and l-ncAAs including l-Trp and l-Cys derivatives were synthesized with excellent enantioselectivity and in high yields. The results indicated l-ncAAs could be efficiently synthesized from d-Ser using this original and green dynamic kinetic resolution system, and the reliable l-Ser resource has been established from simple and achiral substrates.
