Design and synthesis of novel benzoxazole analogs as Aurora B kinase inhibitors

A novel series of benzoxazole analogs was designed and synthesized, and their inhibitory activities against Aurora kinases were evaluated. Some of the tested compounds exhibited a promising activity with respect to the inhibition of Aurora B kinase. A structure-activity relationship study indicated that linker length, regiochemistry, and halogen substitution play important roles in kinase inhibitory potency. The binding modes between representative compounds and Aurora kinases were interpreted through a molecular docking study to explain the inhibitory activity and selectivity for Aurora A and B kinases. Compounds 13l and 13q also show an antiproliferative effect on the human tumor cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. The most potent 13q demonstrated good efficacy in the prostate cancer PC-3 tumor xenograft model.

Stereoconversion of amino acids and peptides in uryl-pendant binol schiff bases

(S)-2-Hydroxy-2′-(3-phenyl-uryl-benzyl)-1,1′-binaphthyl-3- carboxaldehyde (1) forms Schiff bases with a wide range of nonderivatized amino acids, including unnatural ones. Multiple hydrogen bonds, including resonance-assisted ones, fix the whole orientation of the imine and provoke structural rigidity around the imine C=N bond. Due to the structural difference and the increase in acidity of the a proton of the amino acid, the imine formed with an L-amino acid (1-L-aa) is converted into the imine of the D-amino acid (1-D-aa), with a D/L ratio of more than 10 for most amino acids at equilibrium. N-terminal amino acids in dipeptides are also predominantly epimerized to the D form upon imine formation with 1. Density functional theory calculations show that 1-D-Ala is more stable than 1-L-Ala by 1.64 kcal mol-1, a value that is in qualitative agreement with the experimental result. Deuterium exchange of the a proton of alanine in the imine form was studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy and the results support a stepwise mechanism in the L-into-D conversion rather than a concerted one; that is, deprotonation and protonation take place in a sequential manner. The deprotonation rate of L-Ala is approximately 16 times faster than that of D-Ala. The protonation step, however, appears to favor L-amino acid production, which prevents a much higher predominance of the D form in the imine. Receptor 1 and the predominantly D-form amino acid can be recovered from the imine by simple extraction under acidic conditions. Hence, 1 is a useful auxiliary to produce D-amino acids of industrial interest by the conversion of naturally occurring L-amino acids or relatively easily obtainable racemic amino acids.

Enantioselective recognition of 1,2-amino alcohols by reversible formation of imines with resonance-assisted hydrogen bonds

(Chemical Equation Presented) A chiral aldehyde with three H-bond donating groups (2) has been synthesized. This aldehyde binds a variety of chiral 1,2-amino alcohols in benzene with the same sense of stereoselectivity. Computational and experimental data
