Photoisomerization of the 11-cis-retinal chromophore of rod and cone visual pigments to an all-trans-configuration is the initiating event for vision in vertebrates. The regeneration of 11-cis-retinal, necessary for sustained visual function, is an endergonic process normally conducted by specialized enzyme systems. However, 11-cis-retinal also can be formed through reverse photoisomerization from all-trans-retinal. A nonvisual opsin known as retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-retinal G-protein- coupled receptor (RGR) was previously shown to mediate visual chromophore regeneration in photic conditions, but conflicting results have cast doubt on its role as a photoisomerase. Here, we describe high-level production of 11-cis-ret-inal from RPE membranes stimulated by illumination at a narrow band of wavelengths. This activity was associated with RGR and enhanced by cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP), which binds the 11-cis-retinal produced by RGR and prevents its re-isomerization to all-trans-retinal. The activity was recapitulated with cells heterologously expressing RGR and with purified recombinant RGR. Using an RGR variant, K255A, we confirmed that a Schiff base linkage at Lys-255 is critical for substrate binding and isomerization. Single-cell RNA-Seq analysis of the retina and RPE tissue confirmed that RGR is expressed in human and bovine RPE and Müller glia, whereas mouse RGR is expressed in RPE but not in Müller glia. These results provide key insights into the mechanisms of physiological retinoid photoisomerization and suggest a novel mechanism by which RGR, in concert with CRALBP, regenerates the visual chromophore in the RPE under sustained light conditions.

Peterson reaction of 7E,9E-β-ionylideneacetaldehyde-tricarbonyliron complex with ethyl trimethylsilyl acetate afforded Z-olefin in high stereoselectivity, which was converted to the corresponding 11Z-retinal in excellent yield.

Anthocyanins have been suggested to improve visual functions. This study examined the effect of four anthocyanins in black currant fruits on the regeneration of rhodopsin using frog rod outer segment (ROS) membranes. Cyanidin 3-glycosides, glucoside and rutinoside, stimulated the regeneration, but the corresponding delphinidins showed no significant effect. The formation of a regeneration intermediate was suggested to be accelerated by cyanidin 3-rutinoside. Their effects on the cGMP-phosphodiesterase activity in the ROS membranes were also investigated but found to be negligible. It was concluded that the major effect of anthocyanins in rod photoreceptors is on the regeneration of rhodopsin.

Catalytic Z-isomerization of retinoids to their thermodynamically less stable Z-isomer remains a challenge. In this report, we present a photochemical approach for the catalytic Z-isomerization of retinoids using monochromatic wavelength UV irradiation treatment. We have developed a straightforward approach for the synthesis of Z-retinoids in high yield, overcoming common obstacles normally associated with their synthesis. Calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) have allowed us to correlate the experimentally observed Z-isomer distribution of retinoids with the energies of chemically important intermediates, which include ground- and excited-state potential energy surfaces. We also demonstrate the application of the current method by synthesizing gram-scale quantities of 9-cis-retinyl acetate 9Z-a. Operational simplicity and gram-scale ability make this chemistry a very practical solution to the problem of Z-isomer retinoid synthesis.

Our previous study suggested the presence of a novel conespecific redox reaction that generates 11-cis-retinal from 11-cisretinol in the carp retina. This reaction is unique in that 1) both 11-cis-retinol and all-trans-retinal were required to produce 11-cis-retinal; 2) together with 11-cis-retinal, all-trans-retinol was produced at a 1:1 ratio; and 3) the addition of enzyme cofactors such as NADP(H) was not necessary. This reaction is probably part of the reactions in a cone-specific retinoid cycle required for cone visual pigment regeneration with the use of 11-cis-retinol supplied from Mueller cells. In this study, using purified carp cone membrane preparations, we first confirmed that the reaction is a redox-coupling reaction between retinals and retinols. We further examined the substrate specificity, reaction mechanism, and subcellular localization of this reaction. Oxidation was specific for 11-cis-retinol and 9-cis-retinol. In contrast, reduction showed low specificity: many aldehydes, including all-trans-, 9-cis-, 11-cis-, and 13-cis-retinals and even benzaldehyde, supported the reaction. On the basis of kinetic studies of this reaction (aldehyde-alcohol redox-coupling reaction), we found that formation of a ternary complex of a retinol, an aldehyde, and a postulated enzyme seemed to be necessary, which suggested the presence of both the retinol- and aldehydebinding sites in this enzyme. A subcellular fractionation study showed that the activity is present almost exclusively in the cone inner segment. These results suggest the presence of an effective production mechanism of 11-cis-retinal in the cone inner segment to regenerate visual pigment.

This paper presents a full account of the use of Hiyama cross-coupling reactions in a highly convergent approach to retinoids in which the key step is construction of the central C10-C11 bond. Representatives of two families of oxygen-activated dienyl silanes (ethoxysilanes and silanols) and of all reported families of "safety-catch" silanols (siletanes, silyl hydrides, allyl-, benzyl-, aryl-, 2-pyridyl- and 2-thienylsilanes) were regio- and stereoselectively prepared and stereospecifically coupled to an appropriate electrophile by treatment with a palladium catalyst and a nucleophilic activator. Both all-trans and 11-cis-retinoids, and their chain-demethylated analogues, were obtained in good yields regardless of the geometry (E/Z) and of the steric congestion in each fragment. This comprehensive study conclusively establishes the Hiyama cross-coupling reaction, with its mild reaction conditions and stable, easily prepared, ecologically advantageous silicon-based coupling partners, as the most effective route to retinoids reported to date.
Synthesis of 11-cis-retinoids by hydrosilylation-protodesilylation of an 11,12-didehydro precursor: Easy access to 11- and 12-mono- and 11,12-dideuteroretinoids

An expeditious, highly efficient approach to 11-cis-retinoids was achieved by semihydrogenation of a readily available 11-yne precursor through a hydrosilylation-protodesilylation protocol. The complete chemo-, regio-, and syn-stereoselectivity of the method also allowed direct access to 11- and 12-monodeutero-, and 11,12-dideutero-11-cis-retinoids. The analogous trans series was not accessible by this route, and was synthesized by means of Hiyama coupling. Copyright

To enable solid-state NMR investigations of the rhodopsin chromophore and its photointermediates, a series of 11Z-retinal isotopomers have been synthesised containing pairs of adjacent 13C labels at C9/C10, C10/C11 or C11/C12, respectively. The C9 labelled carbon atom was introduced through the Heck reaction of a 13C-labelled Weinreb acrylamide derivative, and the label at the C12 position derived from a 13C-containing ethoxy Bestmann-Ohira reagent. The 13C labels at C10 and C11 were introduced through the reaction of β-ionone with labelled triethyl phosphonoacetate.
Hiyama cross-coupling reaction in the stereospecific synthesis of retinoids

body text, p. 141 - 144 (2009/07/04)
The first application of the Hiyama reaction to the synthesis of retinoids is reported. A range of organosilicon moieties (siloxanes, silanols and three kinds of "safety-catch" silanols) were successfully coupled, under activation, to obtain trans-retinol or 11-cis-retinol with high yield and stereoselectivity. The advantageous properties of the silicon-based coupling partners and the mild reaction conditions firmly establish the Hiyama reaction as a viable (even superior) alternative to the traditional Suzuki and Stille couplings in the retinoid field.
