Macrocyclization of bis-indole quinolines for selective stabilization of G-quadruplex DNA structures

, p. 10529 - 10537 (2020)
The recognition of G-quadruplex (G4) DNA structures as important regulatory elements in biological mechanisms, and the connection between G4s and the evolvement of different diseases, has sparked interest in developing small organic molecules targeting G4s. However, such compounds often lack drug-like properties and selectivity. Here, we describe the design and synthesis of a novel class of macrocyclic bis-indole quinolines based on their non-macrocyclic lead compounds. The effects of the macrocyclization on the ability to interact with G4 DNA structures were investigated using biophysical assays and molecular dynamic simulations. Overall, this revealed compounds with potent abilities to interact with and stabilize G4 structures and a clear selectivity for both G4 DNA over dsDNA and for parallel/hybrid G4 topologies, which could be attributed to the macrocyclic structure. Moreover, we obtained knowledge about the structure-activity relationship of importance for the macrocyclic design and how structural modifications could be made to construct improved macrocyclic compounds. Thus, the macrocyclization of G4 ligands can serve as a basis for the optimization of research tools to study G4 biology and potential therapeutics targeting G4-related diseases.

A phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates with 3-methyl-4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles has been developed to afford various multifunctional isoxazoles in moderate to good yields with moderate to excellent diastereoselectivities. With a spirocyclic chiral phosphine as the catalyst, up to 89% ee was obtained.

Fifteen new allyldithiocarbimates were prepared from different allylic bromides and various potassium dithiocarbimates, yielding (Z)-2-(methoxycarbonyl)-3-(X-nitrophenyl)allyl-(N-R-sulfonyl)dithiocarbimates (where X = 2, 3 and 4; R = phenyl, 4-fluorophenyl, 4-chlorophenyl, 4-bromophenyl and 4-iodophenyl). These anions were isolated as tetraphenylphosphonium salts and characterized by HRMS, infrared, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies. Molecular electrostatic potentials were used to evaluate intermolecular interactions present in the new substances and to explain variations observed on their melting points. Single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments confirmed the Z stereochemistry of the allyldithiocarbimate anions. C–H?O, C–H?N, C–H?S and C–H?π intermolecular interactions in the solid state were studied by X-ray diffraction and Hirshfeld surface analyses. The new compounds inhibited the mycelial growth of various fungi species responsible for severe plant diseases. The allylithiocarbimates were especially active against Botrytis cinerea, with IC50 values as low as 20 μM, being more effective than the active principals of the commercial fungicides Ziram and Mancozeb.

On the tandem Morita-Baylis-Hillman/transesterification processes. Mechanistic insights for the role of protic solvents
Carpanez, Arthur G.,Coelho, Fernando,Amarante, Giovanni W.
, p. 83 - 91 (2017/10/24)
Despite the remarkable rate acceleration under protic solvents such as alcohols and water, the use of acrylates as activated alkenes places a problem due to the possibility of ester hydrolysis or transesterification. Therefore, the tandem transesterification/Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reactions were investigated by ESI(+)-MS/(MS) and 1H NMR techniques. For the first time, the MBH back-reaction was fully examined by ESI(+)-MS/(MS) using labelling reagents revealed the complex equilibrium involving the Michael-type addition step of DABCO to acrylate. C- and O-protonation were observed at this stage, showing the transesterification process occurs previous to the aldol step, which is the rate-determining step of the mechanism. At this stage, a short-lived tetrahedral intermediate might be involved and should be considered in these processes.

Leishmaniasis represents a series of severe neglected tropical diseases caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania and is widely distributed around the world. Here, we present the syntheses of Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts (MBHAs) prepared from eugenol, thymol and carvacrol, and their bioevaluation against promastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis. The new MBHAs are prepared in two steps from essential oils in moderate to good yields and present IC50 values in the range of 22.30-4.71 μM. Moreover, the selectivity index to the most potent compound is very high (SIrb > 84.92), far better than that of Glucantime (SIrb 1.39) and amphotericin B (SIrb = 22.34). Conformational analysis were carried out at the M062X//6-31+G(d,p) level of theory to corroborate a hypothesis about the nitroaromatic bioreduction mechanism.
