Three human G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)—GPR34/LPS1, P2Y10/LPS2, and GPR174/LPS3—are activated specifically by lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS), an endogenous hydrolysis product of a cell membrane component, phosphatidylserine (PS). LysoPS consists of-serine, glycerol, and fatty acid moieties connected by phosphodiester and ester linkages. We previously generated potent and selective GPCR agonists by modification of the three modules and the ester linkage. Here, we show that a novel modification of the hydrophilic serine moiety, that is, N-acylations of the serine amine, converted a GPR174 agonist to potent GPR174 antagonists. Structural exploration of the amide functionality provided access to a range of activities from agonist to partial agonist to antagonist. The present study would provide a new strategy for the development of lysophospholipid receptor antagonists.

The aplyronines are a family of antimitotic marine macrolides that disrupt cytoskeletal dynamics by dual targeting of both actin and tubulin. Given their picomolar cytotoxicity profile and unprecedented mode of action, the aplyronines represent an excellent candidate as a novel payload for the development of next-generation antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for cancer chemotherapy. Enabled by an improved second-generation synthesis of the macrolactone core 5, we have achieved the first total synthesis of the most potent congener aplyronine D together with a highly stereocontrolled synthesis of aplyronine A. To facilitate step economy, an adventurous site-selective esterification of the C7 hydroxyl group was performed to install the N,N,O-trimethylserine pharmacophore to directly afford aplyronines A and D. Toward the assembly of ADCs incorporating an aplyronine warhead, the C29-ester derivative 4 featuring an Fmoc-amino substituted linker attached to the actin-binding tail region was also prepared by adapting this flexible endgame.

An efficient and facile synthesis of D-cycloserine has been developed from D-serine with 61% overall yield employing protectiondeprotection strategy. Different parameters affecting the impurities content and yield of D-cycloserine have been studied. Mild reaction conditions provided the product with remarkable purity (>99%) and high stability.
