Total Synthesis of γ-Hydroxy-α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydic Esters of Cholesterol and 2-Lysophosphatidylcholine
Deng, Yijun,Salomon, Robert G.

Free radical-induced oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty esters in low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) generates 2-lysophosphatidylcholine (PC) and cholesterol esters of γ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated aldehydic acids that covalently modify LDL protein, and protein adducts of the corresponding acids are found in human blood. The chemistry and structures of these compounds resemble those of (E)-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), previously considered the most cytotoxic aldehyde released during peroxidation of linoleate and arachidonate esters. The present report details total syntheses of 2-lyso-PC and cholesteryl esters of (E)-9-hydroxy-12-oxododec-10-enoic and (E)-5-hydroxy-8-oxooct-6-enoic acid that presumably are derived in vivo from linoleate and arachidonate esters, respectively. The syntheses depend on the use of a 3,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxolanyl moiety as a latent aldehyde from which the chemically sensitive γ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated aldehyde array can be generated in the final step. For the cholesteryl esters, generation of the aldehyde group by oxidative cleavage of a vicinal diol could be accomplished in very good yields with periodate. However, for esters of 2-lyso-PC, the target aldehydes were not obtained upon treatment of vicinal diol precursors with periodate owing to a novel oxidative cleavage of the γ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes by periodate. Fortunately, treatment of the vicinal diol precursors with Pb(OAc)4 at -80 deg C delivered good yields (82-85 percent) of the desired phospholipid aldehydes.

Compared to traditional cationic lipids, bola-type lipids have received much less attention despite their advantages including the ability to form more stable and regular-shaped liposomes. In this report, a series of novel symmetric cationic bolalipids based on lysine or cyclen headgroups were designed and synthesized. Structure-activity relationships including the effect of the hydrophobic chain length and cationic headgroup on liposome formation, DNA binding, the physical property of bolasomes, and gene transfection were systematically studied. Results reveal that an appropriate hydrophobic chain length is essential to form nano-sized bolasomes with good DNA binding and condensation ability. MTS-based cell viability assays showed low cytotoxicity of these bolasome/DNA complexes. Lys-14-10, which has a 36-atom-length hydrophobic chain, exhibited the best transfection efficiency in the two cell lines. Flow cytometry and confocal laser microscopy assays reveal that the bolaplexes formed from bolalipids with such a chain might induce the highest cellular uptake. For the cationic headgroup, lysine is more suitable than cyclen for such a bola-type vector. Although the TEs of these bolalipids are still lower than commercially used non-bola lipid lipofectamine 2000, this study may give us some clues for the design of novel bolalipids with higher TE and biocompatibility.

The first total synthesis of (S)-6-(2,9-dihydroxynonyl)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one, 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-6-((2S,4R)-2,4,11-trihydroxyundecyl)-2H-pyran-2-one, and its unnatural 2R,4R-isomer starting from commercially available 1,8-octanediol is described. The synthesis led to the revision of the proposed structural assignment of the natural product as (R)-6-(2,9-dihydroxynonyl)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one. The key steps include chiral auxiliary mediated asymmetric acetate aldol reaction, dianion addition, and base mediated cyclization to form an α-pyrone ring.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) inhibit pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) but the mechanism of inhibition is not well understood. The PUFA, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), inhibits agonist responses of the pLGIC, ELIC, more effectively than pa

Jietacins, an azoxy antibiotic class of chemicals, were isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. KP-197. They have a unique structural motif, including a vinyl azoxy group and a long acyclic aliphatic chain, which is usually branched but non-branched in the case of jietacin C. During a drug discovery program, we found that jietacins display potent anthelmintic activity against parasitic nematodes and that jietacin A has a moderate or low acute toxicity (LD50 > 300 mg/kg) and no mutagenic potential in a mini Ames screen. This suggests that jietacins have potential for drug discovery research. In order to create a novel anthelmintic agent, we performed design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of jietacin derivatives against parasitic nematodes. Of these derivatives, we found that a fully synthesized simplified derivative exhibited better anthelmintic activity against three parasitic nematodes than natural jietacins. In addition, it had a better efficacy in vivo through oral administration against a mouse nematode. This indicated that the azoxy motif could prove useful as a template for anthelmintic discovery, possibly creating a class of anthelmintic with novel skeletons, a potential new mode of action, and providing further insight for rational drug design.

1,4-Benzoquinone derivatives bearing trifluoromethyl, perfluorobutyl and perfluorohexyl groups were prepared and employed in the deprotection of silyl ethers. The fluorous character of these compounds was examined by measuring the partition coefficient between the fluorous and organic solvents. The benzoquinone derivatives showed significant fluorous character, indicating that they can be recovered from the reaction mixtures using a fluorous/organic biphasic system. The oxidising ability of the fluorous benzoquinones was estimated by cyclic voltammetry, and these compounds were found to be strong oxidisers. The fluorous benzoquinones were utilised in the oxidative desilylation of silyl ethers to afford the deprotected alcohols in high yield. In addition, the reduced fluorous benzoquinones were recovered from the reaction mixtures in good yields using a fluorous/organic biphasic system. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.
