Acridonylalanine (Acd) is a useful fluorophore for studying proteins by fluorescence spectroscopy, but it can potentially be improved by being made longer wavelength or brighter. Here, we report the synthesis of Acd core derivatives and their photophysical characterization. We also performed ab initio calculations of the absorption and emission spectra of Acd derivatives, which agree well with experimental measurements. The amino acid aminoacridonylalanine (Aad) was synthesized in forms appropriate for genetic incorporation and peptide synthesis. We show that Aad is a superior F?rster resonance energy transfer acceptor to Acd in a peptide cleavage assay and that Aad can be activated by an aminoacyl tRNA synthetase for genetic incorporation. Together, these results show that we can use computation to design enhanced Acd derivatives, which can be used in peptides and proteins.

Cathepsins, also known as lysosomal cysteine peptidases, are members of the papain-like peptidase family, involved in different physiological processes. In addition, cathepsins are implicated in many pathological conditions. This report describes the synthesis and evaluation of a series of N-arylanthranilic acids, acridones, and 4-quinolinones as inhibitors of cathepsins V and L. The kinetics revealed that compounds of the classes of acridones are reversible competitive inhibitors of the target enzyme with affinities in the low micromolar range. They represent promising lead candidates for the discovery of novel competitive cathepsin inhibitors with enhanced selectivity and potency. On the other hand, 4-quinolinones were noncompetitive inhibitors and N-arylanthranilic acids were uncompetitive inhibitors.
