, p. 6765 - 6768 (2015)
A facile hydrogelation of a p-pyridylenevinylene derivative (PV) bearing oxyethylene chains in the presence of orotic acid (OA) occurs via various non-covalent interactions. Depending on the PV:OA molar ratio, the hydrogel shows vesicle to either cluster-

Cruzain, an essential cysteine protease of the parasitic protozoan, Trypanosoma cruzi, is an important drug target for Chagas disease. We describe here a new series of reversible but time-dependent inhibitors of cruzain, composed of a dipeptide scaffold appended to vinyl heterocycles meant to provide replacements for the irreversible reactive "warheads" of vinyl sulfone inactivators of cruzain. Peptidomimetic vinyl heterocyclic inhibitors (PVHIs) containing Cbz-Phe-Phe/homoPhe scaffolds with vinyl-2-pyrimidine, vinyl-2-pyridine, and vinyl-2-(N-methyl)-pyridine groups conferred reversible, time-dependent inhibition of cruzain (Ki? = 0.1-0.4 μM). These cruzain inhibitors exhibited moderate to excellent selectivity versus human cathepsins B, L, and S and showed no apparent toxicity to human cells but were effective in cell cultures of Trypanosoma brucei brucei (EC50 = 1-15 μM) and eliminated T. cruzi in infected murine cardiomyoblasts (EC50 = 5-8 μM). PVHIs represent a new class of cruzain inhibitors that could progress to viable candidate compounds to treat Chagas disease and human sleeping sickness.

1-Deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) in the nonmevalonate isoprene biosynthesis pathway is a target for developing antimalarial drugs. Fosmidomycin, a potent DXR inhibitor, showed safety as well as efficacy against Plasmodium falciparum malaria in clinical trials. On the basis of our previous quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) and crystallographic studies, several novel pyridine-containing fosmidomycin derivatives were designed, synthesized, and found to be highly potent inhibitors of P. falciparum DXR (PfDXR) having Ki values of 1.9-13 nM, with the best one being ~11× more active than fosmidomycin. These compounds also potently block the proliferation of multidrug resistant P. falciparum with EC 50 values as low as 170 nM. A 2.3 A? crystal structure of PfDXR in complex with one of the inhibitors is reported, showing that the flexible loop of the protein undergoes conformational changes upon ligand binding and a hydrogen bond and favorable hydrophobic interactions between the pyridine group and the PfDXR account for the enhanced activity.

Upon UV-irradiation, the C-P bond of (4-pyridylmethyl)phosphonic acid cleaved only near the isoelectronic point to give 4-methylpyridinium phophate, while (1-benzyl-4-pyridiniomethyl)phosphonic acid underwent C-P bond cleavage above pH 4 to give 1-benzyl-4-methylpyridinium phosphate.On the other hand, the C-P bond of (2-pyridylmethyl)phosphonic acid cleaved under pH region of about 1 to 2, while (1-benzyl-2-pyridiniomethyl)phosphonic acid underwent C-P bond cleavage above pH4.
Synthesis and Pharmacology of a Series of 3- and 4-(Phosphonoalkyl)pyridine- and piperidine-2-carboxylic Acids. Potent N-Methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Antagonists

We recently prepred a series of 3- and 4-(phosphonoalkyl)pyridine- and piperidine-2-carboxylic acids as antagonists of neurotransmission at N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) preferring receptors.NMDA antagonists may prove to be useful therapeutic agents, for instance, as anticonvulsants, in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and in the prevention of neuronal damage that occurs during cerebral ischemia.The compounds prepared were evaluated for their ability to displace CPP binding (an assay shown to be selective for compounds that bind at the NMDA receptor) and for their ability to block NMDA-induced lethality in mice (an assay that is also specific for competitive and noncompetitive NMDA antagonists).Two of the compounds, cis-4-(phosphonomethyl)piperidine-2-carboxylic acid (11a) and cis-4-(3-phosphonoprop-1-yl)piperidine-2-carboxylic acid (11c) proved to be potent NMDA antagonists. 11a and 11c displaced CPP binding with IC 50's of 95 and 120 nM, respectively, and both protected mice from NMDA-induced lethality, with MEDs (minimum effective dose, the dose at which three of the five animals tested survived) of 10 and 40 mg/kg ip, respectively.The rest of the compounds prepared were weakly active or inactive in these assays.The pattern of activity observed for this series parallels that observed for the acyclic series of ω-phosphono-α-amino acids, where AP5 and AP7 possessed NMDA antagonist activity while AP6 and AP8 were inactive.Reduction of conformational mobility by incorporation of the piperidine ring led to enhanced potency relative to the acyclic analogues.
