Exploring sources of catalysis in the basic elimination of 5-nitrobenzisoxazole
Hannak, Renate B.,Rojas, Christian M.
, p. 3465 - 3468 (1998)
A C-shaped, bifunctional host with a highly preorganized cleft was used as a host system to investigate the sources of catalysis in the base-promoted conversion of 5-nitrobenzisoxazole to 2-cyano-5-nitrophenolate. Kinetic studies with compounds that partly conserve structural elements of the host suggest that π-stacking interactions and solvation effects mainly contribute to the observed rate acceleration of the host compared to the acetate promoted reaction.

Following computational analyses, potential non-nucleoside inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase have been pursued through synthesis and assaying for anti-viral activity. The general class Het-NH-Ph-U has been considered, where Het is an aromatic heterocycle and U is an unsaturated, hydrophobic group. Results for compounds with Het = 2-thiazoyl and 2-pyrimidinyl are the focus of this report.

Nonspecific medium effects versus specific group positioning in the antibody and albumin catalysis of the base-promoted ring-opening reactions of benzisoxazoles
Hu, Yunfeng,Houk,Kikuchi, Kazuya,Hotta, Kinya,Hilvert, Donald
, p. 8197 - 8205 (2007/10/03)
The mechanisms by which solvents, antibodies, and albumins influence the rates of base-catalyzed reactions of benzisoxazoles have been explored theoretically. New experimental data on substituent effects and rates of reactions in several solvents, in an antibody, and in an albumin are reported. Quantum mechanical calculations were carried out for the reactions in water and acetonitrile, and docking of the transition state into a homology model of antibody 34E4 and an X-ray structure of human serum albumin was accomplished. A microenvironment made up of catalytic polar groups (glutamate in antibody 34E4 and lysine in human serum albumin) surrounded by relatively nonpolar groups is present in both catalytic proteins.
On the magnitude and specificity of medium effects in enzyme-like catalysts for proton transfer
Hollfelder,Kirby,Tawfik
, p. 5866 - 5874 (2007/10/03)
Medium effects are normally studied by comparing the rates of reactions in different solvents. However, medium effects at the active site of enzymes differ dramatically from bulk solvents, both in their diversity (the presence of more than one type of "so
Exploiting subsite S1 of trypsin-like serine proteases for selectivity: Potent and selective inhibitors of urokinase-type plasminogen activator

A nonselective inhibitor of trypsin-like serine proteases, 2-(2-hydroxybiphenyl-3-yl)-lH-indole-5-carboxamidine (1) (Verner, E.; Katz, B. A.; Spencer, J.; Allen, D.; Hataye, J.; Hruzewicz, W.; Hui, H. C.; Kolesnikov, A.; Li, Y.; Luong, C.; Martelli, A.; Radika. K.; Rai, R.; She, M.; Shrader, W.; Sprengeler, P. A.; Trapp, S.; Wang, J.; Young, W. B.; Mackman, R. L. J. Med. Chem. 2001, 44, 2753-2771) has been optimized through minor structural changes on the S1 binding group to afford remarkably selective and potent inhibitors of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA). The trypsin-like serine proteases1 that comprise drug targets can be broadly categorized into two subfamilies, those with Ser190 and those with Ala190. A single-atom modification, for example, replacement of hydrogen for chlorine at the 6-position of the 5-amidinoindole P1 group on 1, generated up to 6700-fold selectivity toward the Ser190 enzymes and against the Alal90 enzymes. The larger chlorine atom displaces a water molecule (H2O1s1) that binds near residue 190 in all the complexes of 1, and related inhibitors, in uPA, thrombin, and trypsin. The water molecule, H2O1s1, in both the Ser190 or Ala190 enzymes, hydrogen bonds with the amidine N1 nitrogen of the inhibitor. When it is displaced, a reduction in affinity toward the Ala190 enzymes is observed due to the amidine N1 nitrogen of the bound inhibitor being deprived of a key hydrogen-bonding partner. In the Ser190 enzymes the affinity is maintained since the serine hydroxyl oxygen Oγser190 compensates for the displaced water molecule. Highresolution crystallography provided evidence for the displacement of the water molecule and validated the design rationale. In summation, a novel and powerful method for engineering selectivity toward Ser190 proteases and against Ala190 proteases without substantially increasing molecular weight is described.

As part of a study of fluorophores for selective Al3+ detection and of potential use in the study of intracellular Al3+, the preparative, UV- visible and fluorescence spectroscopic, and Al3+ coordination characteristics of five ligands containing the conjugated phenolic substituted thiazoline chromophore of the natural siderophore, pyochelin, 2- [2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]-3-methyl-1,3-thiazolane-4- carboxylic acid) 1, are reported. The five ligands are 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)- 4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid, 2, 2-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2- yl)phenol, 3, 4-bromo-2-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)phenol, 4, 2-(4,5- dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-5-nitrophenol, 5, and 2-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2- yl)-4-nitrophenol, 6. All form stable binary Al3+ complexes in 75% methanol and 25% water in the case of 2, and 73.2% methanol, 24.4% water and 2.4% N,N- dimethylformamide in the case of 3-6, and exhibit substantial UV-visible absorbance changes on coordination. However, while 2, 3 and 4 fluoresce strongly when coordinated to Al3+, 5 and 6 do not, probably because their fluorescence is quenched through a twisted intramolecular charge transfer process. All five ligands show selectivity in complexing for Al3+ over other metal ions and, in the case of 2, 3 and 4, represent an initial stage in the development of Al3+ specific fluorophores for biological use.

Monoclonal antibodies were generated against a 3-phenyl-1,2-benzisoxazole derivative and shown to catalyze the solvent-sensitive decarboxylation of 3-carboxy-1,2-benzisoxazoles. In addition to rate accelerations up to 2300-fold over background, the antibo
