Autophagy is the common name for a number of lysosome-based degradation pathways of cytosolic cargos. The key components of autophagy are members of Atg8 family proteins involved in almost all steps of the process, from autophagosome formation to their selective fusion with lysosomes. In this study, we show that the homologous members of the human Atg8 family proteins, LC3A and LC3B, are druggable by a small molecule inhibitor novobiocin. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of the 4-hydroxy coumarin core scaffold were performed, supported by a crystal structure of the LC3A dihydronovobiocin complex. The study reports the first nonpeptide inhibitors for these protein interaction targets and will lay the foundation for the development of more potent chemical probes for the Atg8 protein family which may also find applications for the development of autophagy-mediated degraders (AUTACs).

An efficient method for the synthesis of flavones and γ- benzopyranones has been developed utilizing a mild Sonogashira coupling and 18-crown-6 ether mediated 6-endo cyclization of o-alkynoylphenyl acetates. By using this strategy, flavones and γ-benzopyranones bearing electron-donating groups, halogens, and simple alkyl substituents were synthesized in satisfactory yields. A facile, mild, and selective method for the synthesis of flavones and γ-benzopyranones is reported. o-Alkynoylphenyl acetates were obtained from either acyl chloride derivatives or substituted salicylates. Upon removing the acetate group, flavones and γ- benzopyranones were synthesized within 15 min with the aid of 18-crown-6 ether. A library of flavones and γ-benzopyranones was established. Copyright
