Weckenmann, Nicole M.,Nachtsheim, Boris J.
, p. 6624 - 6630 (2015)
An efficient asymmetric synthesis of D-α-(uracil-5-yl)glycine derivatives using an enzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of D,L-hydantoin intermediates with an immobilized D-hydantoinase (D-Hyd-1) is described. In addition, mild conditions for a racemization-free solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) using the Fmoc strategy have been found.

MicroRNA families are ubiquitous in the human transcriptome, yet targeting of individual members is challenging because of sequence homology. Many secondary structures of the precursors to these miRNAs (pri- and pre-miRNAs), however, are quite different. Here, we demonstrate both in vitro and in cellulis that design of structure-specific small molecules can inhibit a particular miRNA family member to modulate a disease pathway. The miR-200 family consists of five miRNAs, miR-200a, -200b, -200c, -141, and -429, and is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We designed a small molecule that potently and selectively targets pre-miR-200c's structure and reverses a pro-apoptotic effect in a pancreatic β cell model. In contrast, an oligonucleotide targeting the RNA's sequence inhibited all family members. Global proteomics and RNA sequencing analyses further demonstrate selectivity for miR-200c. Collectively, these studies establish that miR-200c plays an important role in T2D, and small molecules targeting RNA structure can be an important complement to oligonucleotides.

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition is a convenient method for construction of various heterocyclic systems. We applied this method for the synthesis 5-hetaryluracil derivatives where substituted uracils played the role of 1,3-dipoles or dipolarophiles. Treatment of the nitrile oxide derived from 5-formyluracil and substituted alkenes gave the appropriate 5-(4,5-dihydroisoxazol-3-yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones, which by oxidation with N-bromosuccinimide were transformed into appropriate 5-(isoxazol-3-yl)uracils. When 5-cyanouracil was used as a dipolarophile in the reaction with nitrile oxides, generated from aromatic aldoximes, several 5-(1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)uracils were obtained. An alternative reaction of 5-formyluracil with an excess of nitriles in the presence of cerium ammonium nitrate as an oxidant gave 1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl derivatives in moderate yields.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A number of aldimines have been obtained in very good yield in reaction of 5-formyl-1,3-dimethyluracil with various substituted anilines in boiling methanol. Selected aldimines were treated with nitrile oxides generated from 4-chlorobenzaldoxime or 4-methylbenzaldoxime forming the appropriate 1,3-cycloadducts in moderate yields.

Stereoselective routes to substituted β-amino carbonyl compounds via heterodiene [4π+2π] cycloadditions of auxiliary-based C2 symmetric ketene acetals

, p. 341 - 352 (2007/10/03)
Heterodiene [4π+2π] cycloadditions of (S,S)-4,5-diaryl-2-methylene-1,3-dioxolanes 1 to a series of β-amido-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are diastereoselective (d.r.≥4:1). The products can be purified by trituration or crystallisation and hydrolysed with acid to generate the corresponding β-amido carbonyl compounds, the overall sequence effecting an auxiliary-based enantioselective conjugate addition of an acetate enolate, leading to β-aminoacid derivatives.

The oxidation of the title substrates with Oxone in the presence of camphor in the solid to solid state afforded a simple and efficient method for epoxidation under mild reaction condition.
Oxidation of 1,3-dimethylthymine with oxone catalyzed by 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrinatomanganese (III) pentaacetate

The reaction of 1,3-dimethylthymine 2 with KHSO5 (oxone) catalyzed by 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis-(4N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrinatomanganese (III) pentaacetate 1 [T4MPyPMn (III) (OAc)5] in phosphate buffer gives 1,3-dimethyl-5-hydroxymethyluracil 3, 1,3-dimethyl-5-formyluracil 4, 1,3-dimethyluracil-5-carboxylic acid 5, cis-1,3-dimethylthymine-5,6-glycol 6 and 1,3,5-trimethyl-5-hydroxybarbituric acid 8 in different yields depending on the pH of the reaction medium. Oxidation of the 5-methyl group of 1,3-dimethylthymine to 1,3-dimethyl-5-hydroxymethyluracil 3, 1,3-dimethyl-5-formyluracil 4 and the corresponding acid 5 with oxone catalyzed by T4MPyPMn (III) (OAc)5 may be explained by hydrogen abstraction and recombination mechanism, whereas oxidation of 5,6-double bond of thymine to cis-1,3-dimethylthymine-5,6-glycol 6 and 1,3,5-trimethyl-5-hydroxybarbituric acid 8 may be explained either by electron transfer followed by oxygen atom transfer or by the involvement of hydroxy radicals.

, p. 2257 - 2264 (2007/10/02)
The treatment of nucleic acid bases, nucleosides, and nucleotides with peroxodisulfate ion in a phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.0 or water at 70-75°C was investigated. The reaction of thymine and 5-methylcytosine nucleosides and nucleotides resulted in the oxidation of the 5-methyl groups. The oxidation products from 1,3-dimethyluracils and the time-course of the reaction of uracils led to two plausible reaction mechanisms for the oxidation of uracils.
