Proteome profiling by activated esters identified >9000 ligandable lysines but they are limited as covalent inhibitors due to poor hydrolytic stability. Here we report our efforts to design and discover a new series of tunable amine-reactive electrophiles (TAREs) for selective and robust labeling of lysine. The major challenges in developing selective probes for lysine are the high nucleophilicity of cysteines and poor hydrolytic stability. Our work circumvents these challenges by a unique design of the TAREs that form stable adducts with lysine and on reaction with cysteine generate another reactive electrophiles for lysine. We highlight that TAREs exhibit substantially high hydrolytic stability as compared to the activated esters and are non-cytotoxic thus have the potential to act as covalent ligands. We applied these alternative TAREs for the intracellular labeling of proteins in different cell lines, and for the selective identification of lysines in the human proteome on a global scale.

Cancer cells rely on the chaperone heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) for survival and proliferation. Recently, benzothiazole rhodacyanines have been shown to bind an allosteric site on Hsp70, interrupting its binding to nucleotide-exchange factors (NEFs) and promoting cell death in breast cancer cell lines. However, proof-of-concept molecules, such as JG-98, have relatively modest potency (EC50 ≈ 0.7-0.4 μM) and are rapidly metabolized in animals. Here, we explored this chemical series through structure- and property-based design of ~300 analogs, showing that the most potent had >10-fold improved EC50 values (~0.05 to 0.03 μM) against two breast cancer cells. Biomarkers and whole genome CRISPRi screens confirmed members of the Hsp70 family as cellular targets. On the basis of these results, JG-231 was found to reduce tumor burden in an MDA-MB-231 xenograft model (4 mg/kg, ip). Together, these studies support the hypothesis that Hsp70 may be a promising target for anticancer therapeutics.

The radical fluoroalkylation of isocyanides with fluorinated sulfones is enabled by visible-light photoredox catalysis. A wide range of readily available mono-, di-, and trifluoromethyl heteroaryl sulfones can thus be used as efficient radical fluoroalkylation reagents under mild conditions. This method not only describes a new synthetic application of fluorinated sulfones, but also provides a new route to fluoroalkyl radicals.

Targeting quorum sensing signals using quorum sensing inhibitors has opened new avenues for the application of known antibiotics. In this context, twenty five unsymmetrical azines were synthesised and evaluated as quorum sensing inhibitors. An efficient one-pot procedure was adopted that directly links 3-methyl-2-(methylthio)benzo[d]thiazol-3-ium salt, hydrazine hydrate and substituted aldehyde to give the designed compounds. The synthesized compounds were preliminarily tested for their potential to inhibit CviR receptor based QS signals in Chromobacterium violaceum. The bioassay screening results suggested that two compounds exhibited potent QS inhibition activity against CviR receptor, showing violacein inhibition (>50%) at 200 μM. Further, the putative positive hits were checked for their potential to inhibit LasR receptor-based QS using the PlasB-gfp(ASV) biomonitor strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These compounds were found to inhibit the QS-mediated GFP signals in a dose dependant manner. Two active compounds also exhibited biofilm clearance at 50 μM concentration. Docking studies were performed to examine their potential to bind to the LasR protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
