In cancer cells, glutaminolysis is the primary source of biosynthetic precursors, fueling the TCA cycle with glutamine-derived α-ketoglutarate. The enhanced production of α-ketoglutarate is critical to cancer cells as it provides carbons for the TCA cycle to produce glutathione, fatty acids, and nucleotides, and contributes nitrogens to produce hexosamines, nucleotides, and many nonessential amino acids. Efforts to inhibit glutamine metabolism in cancer using amino acid analogs have been extensive.l-γ-Methyleneglutamine was shown to be of considerable biochemical importance, playing a major role in nitrogen transport inArachisandAmorphaplants. Herein we report for the first time an efficient synthetic route tol-γ-methyleneglutamine and its amide derivatives. Many of thesel-γ-methyleneglutamic acid amides were shown to be as efficacious as tamoxifen or olaparib at arresting cell growth among MCF-7 (ER+/PR+/HER2?), and SK-BR-3 (ER?/PR?/HER2+) breast cancer cells at 24 or 72 h of treatment. Several of these compounds exerted similar efficacy to olaparib at arresting cell growth among triple-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells by 72 h of treatment. None of the compounds inhibited cell growth in benign MCF-10A breast cells. Overall,N-phenyl amides andN-benzyl amides, such as3,5,9, and10, arrested the growth of all three (MCF-7, SK-BR-3, and MDA-MB-231) cell lines for 72 h and were devoid of cytotoxicity on MCF-10A control cells;N-benzyl amides with an electron withdrawing group at theparaposition, such as5and6, inhibited the growth of triple-negative MDA-MB-231 cells commensurate to olaparib. These compounds hold promise as novel therapeutics for the treatment of multiple breast cancer subtypes.

, p. 813 - 816 (2019/04/25)
A conceptually novel and stereoselective synthesis of the enantiopure octahydroindole building block and its conversion into the ACE inhibitor trandolapril was achieved. Key steps include the α-allylation of a protected l -pyroglutamic acid derivative, a highly diastereoselective Hosomi-Sakurai reaction and a Ru-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis of a 4,5-diallylated proline. This way, the synthesis of trandolapril was efficiently achieved in 25% overall yield (12 steps).

In the course of our studies towards the synthesis of proline-based secondary-structure mimetics, we developed a straightforward methodology for the diastereoselective preparation of 4-alkyl-5-vinyl-substituted proline derivatives. Starting from N-Boc-protected tert-butyl pyroglutamate, α-alkylation, lactam reduction and acid-catalyzed methanolysis afforded 4-alkyl-5-methoxyproline derivatives. After BF3-induced formation of an N-acyl-iminium intermediate, the introduction of the 5-vinyl side chain was achieved with high diastereoselectivity by using vinylmagnesium bromide in the presence of AlCl3 or CuBr·SMe2 to afford either the cis- or the trans-product, respectively. The utility of the method was demonstrated in the rapid and efficient construction of new diproline mimetics rigidified in a polyproline-type II helix (PPII) conformation.

The very common protection reactions of scaffolds by introduction of Boc or tert-butyl groups on lactams or acids in the pyroglutamic series have been revisited in a green perspective. Particularly, reaction conditions allowing a quantitative yield in substitution of bromine in tert-butyl bromide were discovered for the first time, allowing the synthesis of tert-butyl pyroglutamate 4. This synthesis of tert-butyl ester by nucleophilic substitution, realized without using concentrated perchloric or sulfuric acid, could be of interest for acid sensitive compounds. On the other hand, we demonstrated that non toxic N-methylimidazole and tert-butanol can pleasantly replace the problematic toxic 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and dichloromethane utilized for the N-carbamoylation of lactam 4. This environmentally improved route to compound 4 allowed the development of a multi-gram supply of protected N-aminoethyl and N-hydroxyethyl γ-glutamine 1 and 2.

The biocatalytic versatility of wildtype and engineered carboxymethylproline synthases (CMPSs) is demonstrated by the preparation of functionalized 5-carboxymethylproline derivatives methylated at C-2, C-3, C-4, or C-5 of the proline ring from appropriately substituted amino acid aldehydes and malonyl-coenzyme A. Notably, compounds with a quaternary center (at C-2 or C-5) were prepared in a stereoselective fashion by engineered CMPSs. The substituted-5-carboxymethyl-prolines were converted into the corresponding bicyclic β-lactams using a carbapenam synthetase. The results demonstrate the utility of the crotonase superfamily enzymes for stereoselective biocatalysis, the amenability of carbapenem biosynthesis pathways to engineering for the production of new bicyclic β-lactam derivatives, and the potential of engineered biocatalysts for the production of quaternary centers.
