An easily handled one-pot synthetic procedure was previously developed for the synthesis of bisphosphinates starting from acyl chlorides. Herein, other trivalent derivatives as acid anhydrides and activated esters were tested to form various bisphosphinates. This modulation of the reactivity can be controlled according to the nature of the acid derivative for the use of sensitive and functionalized substrates.

A dimeric dipeptide mimetic of nerve growth factor (NGF), bis-(N-monosuccinyl-L-glutamyl-L-lysine) hexamethylenediamide (GK-2), was previously developed at V. V. Zakusov State Institute of Pharmacology, activated specific TrkA receptors, and exhibited neuroprotective activity in vitro (10–5 – 10–9 M) and in vivo (0.1 – 10 mg/kg i.p. and p.o.). GK-2 was designed based on the beta-turn (-Asp94-Glu95-Lys96-Gln97-) of the NGF 4th loop and preserved the central dipeptide fragment (-Glu95-Lys96-). The Asp94 residue was replaced by its monosuccinyl bioisostere. The dimeric structure of NGF was reproduced using a bivalent hexamethylenediamine spacer. The structure—activity (neuroprotective) relationship for GK-2 was studied in the present work using a glycine scan, i.e., successive replacement of the peptide side groups by H. The bis-(N-acetyl-L-glutamyl-L-lysine) (GK-2Ac), bis-(N-monosuccinylglycyl-L-lysine) (GK-2-Gly1), and bis-(N-monosuccinyl-L-glutamylglycine) hexamethylenediamides (GK-2-Gly2) were less active with neuroprotective activity in vitro under oxidative stress for HT22 cells at concentrations 10 – 100 times greater than GK-2. The conclusion was drawn that each side radical of GK-2 was important for manifestation of the full neuroprotective activity of dimeric dipeptide GK-2, a mimetic of the NGF 4th loop. However, removal of any of the side radicals would probably not change the active structure of the beta-turn so that the two remaining side radicals should retain the ability to bind to their TrkA subsites. This could explain the retention of neuroprotective activity in the GK-2 glycine analogs.
DIPEPTIDE MIMETICS OF NGF AND BDNF NEUROTROPHINS
-
Paragraph 0181; 0182, (2019/04/16)
The invention relates to compounds having either agonist or antagonist activities for the neurotrophins NGF and BDNF and represented by monomeric or dimeric substituted dipeptides that are analogs of the exposed portions of loop 1 or loop 4 regions of these neurotrophins near or at a beta-turn of the respective loop. N-acylated substituents of these dipeptides are biostereoisomers of the amino acid residues preceding these dipeptide sequences in the neurotrophin primary structure. The dimeric structure is produced advantageously by using hexatnethylenediaanine to which dipeptides are attached via their carboxyl groups. The claimed compounds displayed neuroprotective and differentiation-inducing activities in cellular models and enhanced the amount of phosphorylated tyrosine kinase A and the heat shock proteins Hsp32 and Hsp70 in the concentration range of 10 -9 to 10 -5 M. They also displayed neuroprotective, anti-parkinsonian, anti-stroke, anti-ischemic, anti-depressant and anti-amnestic activities in animal models and were active in experimental models of Alzheimer's disease. These in vivo effects of the claimed compounds are displayed in the dose range of 0.01 to 10 mg/kg when administered intraperitoneally.

Sialic acids are a family of acidic monosaccharides often found on the termini of cell surface proteins or lipid glycoconjugates of higher animals. Herein we describe the enzymatic synthesis of the two isotopically labeled sialic acid derivatives d3-X-Gal-a-2,3-Neu5Ac and d3-X-Gal-a-2,3-Neu5Gc. Using deuterium oxide as the reaction solvent, deuterium atoms could be successfully introduced during the enzymatic epimerization and aldol addition reactions when the sialosides were generated. NMR and mass spectrometric analyses confirmed that the resulting sialosides were indeed tri-deuterated. These compounds may be of interest as internal standards in liquid chromatography/mass spectrometric assays for biochemical or clinical studies of sialic acids. This was further exemplified by the use of this tri-deuterated sialosides as internal standards for the quantification of sialic acids in meat and egg samples.

In the present work we describe the synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of a focused library of 30 novel oxazolidines designed by modification of N-substituent, by ring variation, by alkyl variation or by extension of the structure. It was noted that carbamate and N,O-aminal groups were essential for activity. In general, replacement of the phenyl ring with pyridinyl was not tolerated. However, the introduction of a second phenyl ring with an appropriate spacer at the 3- or 4-position of the first phenyl ring generally enhanced the cytotoxic profile. Among all the prepared compounds, 24 was the most potent compound found in this class, being active on four of five cancer cell lines and it was 5-fold and 10-fold more potent than the lead compounds against HL60 and JURKAT cells, respectively. In addition, it showed relevant activity against MCF-7 and HCT-116 cells, which were resistant to lead. Moreover, 24 showed little antiproliferative activity against VERO, indicating low toxicity to normal cells. Thus, this compound has the potential to be developed as an anticancer agent.

The pH low insertion peptide (pHLIP) offers the potential to deliver drugs selectively to the cytoplasm of cancer cells based on tumor acidosis. The WT pHLIP inserts into membranes with a pH50 of 6.1, while most solid tumors have extracellular pH (pHe) of 6.5-7.0. To close this gap, a SAR study was carried out to search for pHLIP variants with improved pH response. Replacing Asp25 with α-aminoadipic acid (Aad) adjusts the pH50 to 6.74, matching average tumor acidity, and replacing Asp14 with γ-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) increases the sharpness of pH response (transition over 0.5 instead of 1 pH unit). These effects are additive: the Asp14Gla/Asp25Aad double variant shows a pH50 of 6.79, with sharper transition than Asp25Aad. Furthermore, the advantage of the double variant over WT pHLIP in terms of cargo delivery was demonstrated in turn-on fluorescence assays and anti-proliferation studies (using paclitaxel as cargo) in A549 lung cancer cells at pH 6.6.

Current strategies for identification and quantification of 3-nitrotyrosine (3NT) post-translationally modified proteins (PTM) generally rely on biotin/avidin enrichment. Quantitative approaches have been demonstrated which employ isotopic labeling or isobaric tagging in order to quantify differences in the relative abundances of 3NT-modified proteins in two or potentially eight samples, respectively. Here, we present a novel strategy which uses combined precursor isotopic labeling and isobaric tagging (cPILOT) to increase the multiplexing capability of quantifying 3NT-modified proteins to 12 or 16 samples using commercially available tandem mass tags (TMT) or isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ), respectively. This strategy employs "light" and "heavy" labeled acetyl groups to block both N-termini and lysine residues of tryptic peptides. Next, 3NT is reduced to 3-aminotyrosine (3AT) using sodium dithionite followed by derivatization of light and heavy labeled 3AT-peptides with either TMT or iTRAQ multiplex reagents. We demonstrate the proof-of-principle utility of cPILOT with in vitro nitrated bovine serum albumin (BSA) and mouse splenic proteins using TMT 0, TMT6, and iTRAQ8 reagents and discuss limitations of the strategy.

A study of the structure - activity relationships of 5′-O-[N- (salicyl)sulfamoyl]adenosine (6), a potent inhibitor of the bifunctional enzyme salicyl-AMP ligase (MbtA, encoded by the gene Rv2384) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is described, targeting the salicyl moiety. A systematic series of analogues was prepared exploring the importance of substitution at the C-2 position revealing that a hydroxy group is required for optimal activity. Examination of a series of substituted salicyl derivatives indicated that substitution at C-4 was tolerated. Consequently, a series of analogues at this position provided 4-fluoro derivative, which displayed an impressive MIC 99 of 0.098 μM against whole-cell M. tuberculosis under iron-limiting conditions. Examination of other heterocyclic, cycloalkyl, alkyl, and aminoacyl replacements of the salicyl moiety demonstrated that these nonconserative modifications were poorly tolerated, a result consistent with the fairly strict substrate specificities of related non-ribosomal peptide synthetase adenylation enzymes.

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) catalyzes the conversion of L-arginine to L- citrilline and nitric oxide (NO). Selective inhibition of the isoforms of NOS could have great therapeutic potential in the treatment of certain disease states arising from pathologically elevated synthesis of NO. Recently, we reported dipeptide amides containing a basic amine side chain as potent and selective inhibitors of neuronal NOS (Huang, H.; Martasek, P.; Roman, L. J.; Masters, B. S. S.; Silverman, R. B. J. Med. Chem. 1999, 42, 3147). The most potent nNOS inhibitor among these compounds is L-Arg(NO2)-L-Dbu-NH2 (1) (K(i) = 130 nM), which also exhibits the highest selectivity over eNOS (>1500-fold) with excellent selectivity over iNOS (190-fold). Here we describe the design and synthesis of a series of peptidomimetic analogues of this dipeptide as potential selective inhibitors of nNOS. The biochemical evaluation of these compounds also revealed the binding requirements of the dipeptide inhibitors with NOS. Incorporation of protecting groups at the N- terminus of the dipeptide amide 1 (compounds 4 and 5) resulted in dramatic decreases in the inhibitory potency of nNOS. Masking the NH group of the peptide bond (peptoids 6-8 and N-methylated compounds 9-11) also gave much poorer nNOS inhibitors than 1. Both of the results demonstrate the importance of the α-amine of the dipeptide and the NH moiety of the peptide bond for binding at the active site. Modifications at the C-terminus of the peptide included converting the amide to the methyl ester (12), tert-butyl ester (13), and carboxylic acid (14) and also descarboxamide analogues (15-17), which revealed less restricted binding requirements for the C-terminus of the dipeptide. Further optimization should be possible when we learn more about the binding requirements at the active sites of NOSs.
