The number of reported cases of Human African Trypanosmiasis (HAT), caused by kinetoplastid protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei, is declining in sub-Saharan Africa. Historically, such declines are generally followed by periods of higher incidence, and one of the lingering public health challenges of HAT is that its drug development pipeline is historically sparse. As a continuation of our work on new antitrypanosomal agents, we found that partially saturated quinoline-based vinyl sulfone compounds selectively inhibit the growth of T. brucei but displayed relatively weak inhibitory activity towards T. brucei's cysteine protease rhodesain. While two nitroaromatic analogues of the quinoline-based vinyl sulfone compounds displayed potent inhibition of T. brucei and rhodesain. The quinoline derivatives and the nitroaromatic-based compounds discovered in this work can serve as leads for ADME-based optimization and pre-clinical investigations.

Emerging infectious diseases like those caused by arboviruses such as Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) pose a serious threat to public health systems. Development of medical countermeasures against emerging infectious diseases are of utmost importance. In this work, an acrylate and vinyl sulfone-based chemical series was investigated as promising starting scaffolds against VEEV and as inhibitors of the cysteine protease domain of VEEV's nonstructural protein 2 (nsP2). Primary screen and dose response studies were performed to evaluate the potency and cytotoxicity of the compounds. The results provide structural insights into a new class of potent nonpeptidic covalent inhibitors of nsP2 cysteine protease represented by compound 11 (VEEV TrD, EC50= 2.4 μM (HeLa), 1.6 μM (Vero E6)). These results may facilitate the evolution of the compounds into selective and broad-spectrum anti-alphaviral drug leads.

The synthesis of novel dipeptidyl α-fluorovinyl sulfones using a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons approach on N-Boc-l-phenylalaninal is described. Inhibitory assays against a Leishmania mexicana cysteine protease (CPB2.8ΔCTE) revealed low biological activity. Relative rates of Michael additions of 2′-(phenethyl)thiol with vinyl sulfone and α-fluorovinyl sulfone were determined, and ab initio calculations on several Michael acceptor model structures were performed; both were in agreement with the biological testing results.

A new series of peptidyl allyl sulfone inhibitors was discovered while trying to synthesize epoxy sulfone inhibitors from vinyl sulfones using basic oxidizing conditions. The various dipeptidyl allyl sulfones were evaluated with calpain I, papain, cathepsins B and L, cruzain and rhodesain and found to be potent inhibitors. In comparison to the previously developed class of vinyl sulfone inhibitors, the novel dipeptidyl allyl sulfones were more potent inhibitors than the corresponding dipeptidyl vinyl sulfones. It was observed that the stereochemistry of the vinyl sulfone precursor played a role in the potency of the dipeptidyl allyl sulfone inhibitor.

A set of diversely substituted N-Boc-γ-amino vinyl sulfones has been prepared by a four-step procedure from readily available, highly enantiopure anti-N-Boc-3-amino-1,2-alkanediols. This new route, which does not depend on the accessibility of α-amino acids as starting materials, is noteworthy for its efficiency, for its generality, and for the fact that both enantiomers of a given γ-amino vinyl sulfone can be obtained with equal ease.
