- Synthesis and biological activity of novel ester derivatives of N3-(4-metoxyfumaroyl)-(S)-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid containing amide and keto function as inhibitors of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase
-
A short series of novel ester derivatives of N3-4-metoxyfumaroyl-(S)-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid (FMDP) containing amide or keto functions have been designed and synthesized. Their antifungal activity and inhibitory properties toward fungal glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase has also been evaluated. The obtained compounds 11–13 and 15–17 demonstrated good antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Compounds 11–13 displayed also potent inhibitory activity against fungal glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase, comparable to that of FMDP.

- Expanded substrate scope and improved reactivity of ether-forming cross-coupling reactions of organotrifluoroborates and acetals
-
Mixed acetals and organotrifluoroborates undergo BF3· OEt2-promoted cross-couplings to give dialkyl ethers under simple, mild conditions. A survey of reaction partners identified a hydroxamate leaving group that improves the regioselectivity and product yield in the BF 3·OEt2-promoted coupling reaction of mixed acetals and potassium alkynyl-, alkenyl-, aryl- and heteroaryltrifluoroborates to access substituted dialkyl ethers. This leaving group enables the reaction to proceed rapidly under mild conditions (0 °C, 5-60 min) and permits reactions with electron-deficient potassium aryltrifluoroborates that are less reactive with other acetal substrates. A study of the reaction mechanism and characterization of key intermediates by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography identified a role for the hydroxamate moiety as a reversible leaving group that serves to stabilize the key oxocarbenium intermediate and the need for a slight excess of organodifluoroborane to serve as a catalyst. A secondary role for the boron nucleophile as an activating ligand was also considered. These studies provide the basis for a general class of reagents that lead to dialkyl ethers by a simple, predictable cross-coupling reaction.

- Hydrolytic profile for ester- or amide-linkage by carboxylesterases pI 5.3 and 4.5 from human liver
-
Carboxylesterases (EC 3.1.1.1) from human liver were purified using Q- Sepharose, Sephadex G-150, isoelectrofocusing and Con A-Sepharose. The calculated molecular mass of the pI 5.3 enzyme was 120 kDa and 61 kDa from the results of Sephadex G-150 gel filtration and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), respectively, suggesting that this enzyme is a dimer. On the other hand, carboxylesterase pI 4.5, with a molecular-mass of 64 kDa, was a monomer. The activities of both enzymes were inhibited by typical serine enzyme inhibitors. Amino acid sequence analysis of the purified enzymes pI 5.3 and 4.5 showed high homology with rabbit carboxylesterase form 1 and 2, respectively. The results also suggested that carboxylesterase pI 5.3 is identical to the deduced amino acid sequence from cDNA for HUI, and that carboxylesterase pI 4.5 is identical to the deduced amino acid sequence from the cDNA registered as human carboxylesterase (hCE-2) in GenBank. We first purified carboxylesterase pI 4.5 and investigated its hydrolytic activity upon various drugs. The two enzymes differed in substrate specificity. Prodrugs of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, such as delapril and imidapril, were converted to active metabolites by carboxylesterase pI 5.3, but not by carboxylesterase pI 4.5. The hydrolysis velocity of temocapril by carboxylesterase pI 5.3 was 12-fold faster than by carboxylesterase pI 4.5. In contrast, aspirin oxybutynin and procaine were hydrolyzed by only carboxylesterase pI 4.5. We also found that an amide- linkage in drugs, except for that in aniracetam was not a good substrate for the two enzymes. Consequently, carboxylesterases pI 5.3 and 4.5 maybe involved in the metabolism of various drugs containing an ester-linkage.

- Hydrogen-bond-mediated folding in depsipeptide models of β-turns and α-helical turns
-
The folding of several depsipeptides constructed from α-amino acids [L-proline (P) and L-alanine (A)] and α-hydroxy acids [L-lactic acid (L) and glycolic acid (G)] has been examined in methylene chloride solution by variable- temperature IR spectroscopy. Additional studies have been conducted in some cases, involving variable-temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy and molecular mechanics calculations. The depsipeptides include three-residue molecules (PLL, ALL, and PLG) that can form a 13-membered-ring amide-to-amide hydrogen bond, which, for a peptide backbone, would correspond to a single turn of an α-helix. These depsipeptides can also form 10-membered-ring amide-to-ester hydrogen bonds, which would correspond to β-trun formation for a peptide backbone. For PLL and PLG, distinct N-H stretch bands can be identified for three folding patterns: non-hydrogen-bonded, β-turn, and α-helical turn. IR-based van't Hoff analyses for PLL indicate that the α-helical turn and the β-turn are both modestly enthalpically favored relative to the non-hydrogen-bonded state, but neither turn is enthalpically preferred over the other. For PLG, in contrast, the α-helical turn appears to be enthalpically preferred over both of the alternative folding patterns. Comparison between PLL and ALL indicates that the N-terminal proline residue favors α-helical turn formation. The strengths of amide-to-amide and amide-to-ester hydrogen bonds have been compared in the context of a β-turn geometry by analyzing LG and AG in CH2Cl2. The amide-to-amide hydrogen bond is enthalpically favored by ca. 1.6 kcal/mol, but formation of this enthalpically stronger intramolecular hydrogen bond is more costly entropically. Extrapolation from the behavior of these depsipeptides leads us to predict that for tripeptides in a nonpolar environment, a β-turn will generally be enthalpically preferred over an isolated α-helical turn. β-Turn folding has previously been widely studied in model peptides and depsipeptides; however, the present report appears to represent the first experimental effort to model formation of a single α-helical turn.

- Prodrug derivatives of carboxylic acid drugs
-
Novel ester derivatives of carboxylic acid medicaments of formula (I), wherein R--COO--represents the acyloxy residue of a carboxylic acid drug or medicament, n is an integrer from 1 to 3, and R1 and R2 are the same or different and are selected from a group consisting of an alkyl, an alkenyl, an aryl, an aralkyl, a cycloalkyl and which group may be unsubstituted or substituted, or R1 and R2 together with the N forms a 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-membered heterocyclic ring, which in addition to the nitrogen atom may contain one or two further heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur and which heterocyclic group may be substituted. These compounds are highly biolabile prodrug forms of the corresponding carboxylic acid compounds and are highly susceptible to undergoing enzymatic hydrolysis in vivo whereas they are highly stable in aqueous solution. The novel derivatives are less irritating to mucosa than the parent carboxylic acids and may provide an improved bio-availability of the drugs.

- Glycolamide esters as biolabile prodrugs of carboxylic acid agents: synthesis, stability, bioconversion, and physicochemical properties.
-
Benzoic acid esters of various substituted 2-hydroxyacetamides (glycolamides) were found to be hydrolyzed extremely rapidly in human plasma solutions, the half-lives of hydrolysis being less than 5 s in 50% plasma solutions for some N,N-disubstituted glycolamide esters. The rapid rate of hydrolysis could be largely attributed to cholinesterase (also called pseudocholinesterase) present in plasma. From a study of a variety of substituted glycolamide esters and structurally related esters, the most prominent structural requirement needed for a rapid rate of hydrolysis was found to be the glycolamide ester structure combined with the presence of two substituents on the amide nitrogen atom. A structural similarity of such esters with benzoylcholine, a good substrate for cholinesterase, was put forward. Esters of N,N-disubstituted glycolamides are suggested to be a useful biolabile prodrug type for several carboxylic acid agents. The esters combine a high susceptibility to undergo enzymatic hydrolysis in plasma with a high stability in aqueous solution. Furthermore, as demonstrated with the benzoic acid model esters, it is feasible to obtain ester derivatives with almost any desired water solubility or lipophilicity with retainment of marked lability to enzymatic hydrolysis.
