- Synthesis of novel &β-lactone inhibitors of fatty acid synthase
-
Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is necessary for growth and survival of tumor cells and is a promising drug target for oncology. Here, we report on the syntheses and activity of novel inhibitors of the thioesterase domain of FAS. Using the structure of orlistat as a starting point, which contains a β-lactone as the central pharmacophore, 28 novel congeners were synthesized and examined. Structural features such as the length of the α- and β-alkyl chains, their chemical composition, and amino ester substitutions were altered and the resulting compounds explored for inhibitory activity toward the thioesterase domain of FAS. Nineteen congeners show improved potency for FAS in biochemical assays relative to orlistat. Three of that subset, including the natural product valilactone, also display an increased potency in inducing tumor cell death and improved solubility compared to orlistat. These findings support the idea that an orlistat congener can be optimized for use in a preclinical drug design and for clinical drug development.

- Total synthesis and comparative analysis of orlistat, valilactone, and a transposed orlistat derivative: Inhibitors of fatty acid synthase
-
Concise syntheses of orlistat (Xenical), a two-carbon transposed orlistat derivative, and valilactone are described that employ the tandem Mukaiyama aldol-lactonization (TMAL) process as a key step. This process allows facile modification of the α-side chain. Versatile strategies for modifying the δ-side chain are described, involving cuprate addition and olefin metathesis. Comparative antagonistic activity of these derivatives toward a recombinant form of the thioesterase domain of fatty acid synthase is reported along with comparative activity-based profiling.

- An efficient synthesis of (R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid
-
A short, efficient synthesis of (R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid, a key component of bacterial endotoxins, using (R)-oxirane acetic acid ethyl ester as the source of chirality is described. The method is general and can be used in the preparation of other chiral 3-hydroxy acids.
