- Light-Controlled Cell-Cycle Arrest and Apoptosis
-
Cell-cycle interference by small molecules has widely been used to study fundamental biological mechanisms and to treat a great variety of diseases, most notably cancer. However, at present only limited possibilities exist for spatio-temporal control of the cell cycle. Here we report on a photocaging strategy to reversibly arrest the cell cycle at metaphase or induce apoptosis using blue-light irradiation. The versatile proteasome inhibitor MG132 is photocaged directly at the reactive aldehyde function effectively masking its biological activity. Upon irradiation reversible cell-cycle arrest in the metaphase is demonstrated to take place in vivo. Similarly, apoptosis can efficiently be induced by irradiation of human cancer cells. With the developed photopharmacological approach spatio-temporal control of the cell cycle is thus enabled with very high modulation, as caged MG132 shows no effect on proliferation in the dark. In addition, full compatibility of photo-controlled uncaging with dynamic microscopy techniques in vivo is demonstrated. This visible-light responsive tool should be of great value for biological as well as medicinal approaches in need of high-precision targeting of the proteasome and thereby the cell cycle and apoptosis.

- A new class of α-ketoamide derivatives with potent anticancer and anti-SARS-CoV-2 activities
-
Inhibitors of the proteasome have been extensively studied for their applications in the treatment of human diseases such as hematologic malignancies, autoimmune disorders, and viral infections. Many of the proteasome inhibitors reported in the literature target the non-primed site of proteasome's substrate binding pocket. In this study, we designed, synthesized and characterized a series of novel α-keto phenylamide derivatives aimed at both the primed and non-primed sites of the proteasome. In these derivatives, different substituted phenyl groups at the head group targeting the primed site were incorporated in order to investigate their structure-activity relationship and optimize the potency of α-keto phenylamides. In addition, the biological effects of modifications at the cap moiety, P1, P2 and P3 side chain positions were explored. Many derivatives displayed highly potent biological activities in proteasome inhibition and anticancer activity against a panel of six cancer cell lines, which were further rationalized by molecular modeling analyses. Furthermore, a representative α-ketoamide derivative was tested and found to be active in inhibiting the cellular infection of SARS-CoV-2 which causes the COVID-19 pandemic. These results demonstrate that this new class of α-ketoamide derivatives are potent anticancer agents and provide experimental evidence of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 effect by one of them, thus suggesting a possible new lead to develop antiviral therapeutics for COVID-19.

- Synthesis and biological activity of peptide proline-boronic acids as proteasome inhibitors
-
On the basis of the application of proline-boronic acid as pharmacophore in the kinase inhibitors and our previous research results, using proline-boronic acid as warhead, two series of peptide proline-boronic acids, dipeptide proline-boronic acids (I) and tripeptide proline-boronic acids (II), were designed and synthesized. All the synthesized compounds were first evaluated for their biological activity against MGC803 cell, and then, the best compound II-7 was selected to test its anti-tumor spectrum on six human tumor cell lines and proteasome inhibition against three subunits. The results indicated that series II have much better biological activities than series I. The compound II-7 exhibited not only excellent biological activities with IC50 values of nM level in both cell and proteasome models, but also much better subunit selectivity. Thus, proline-boronic acid as warhead is reasonable in the design of proteasome inhibitors.

- Recyclable hypervalent iodine(III) reagent iodosodilactone as an efficient coupling reagent for direct esterification, amidation, and peptide coupling
-
A hypervalent iodine(III) reagent plays a novel role as an efficient coupling reagent to promote the direct condensation between carboxylic acids and alcohols or amines to provide esters, macrocyclic lactones, amides, as well as peptides without racemization. The regeneration of iodosodilactone (1) can also be readily achieved. The intermediate acyloxyphosphonium ion C from the activation of a carboxylic acid is thought to be involved in the present esterification reaction.

- Mixing of peptides and electrophilic traps gives rise to potent, broad-spectrum proteasome inhibitors
-
The synthesis and evaluation of hybrid proteasome inhibitors that contain structural elements of the known inhibitors bortezomib, epoxomicin and peptide vinyl sulfones is described. From the panel of 15 inhibitors some structure activity relationships can be deduced with regard to inhibitory activity in relation to peptide recognition element, inhibitor size and nature of the electrophilic trap. Further, the panel contains one of the most potent peptide-based pan-proteasome inhibitors reported to date. This journal is The Royal Society of Chemistry.

- Selectivity and Specificity in Substrate Binding to Proteases: Novel Hydrolytic Reactions Catalysed by α-Chymotrypsin Suspended in Organic Solvents with Low Water Content and Mediated by Ammonium Hydrogen Carbonate
-
α-Chymotrypsin suspended in organic solvents with low water content catalysed hydrolytic reactions in the presence of ammonium hydrogen carbonate.Molecular modelling studies were carried out and structure-reactivity relationships were established by studying the hydrolysis of amino acid derivatives and analogues.The enzyme was found to be stereoselective with respect to the hydrolysis of L-amino acid derivatives, but no stereoselectivity was observed when α-hydroxy esters were used as substrates.A general procedure for the resolution of aromatic amino acid esters is given.The results are interpreted in terms of molecular modelling based on X-ray crystallographic data and literature data.

- KINETICS OF THE ALKALINE HYDROLYSIS OF SEVERAL N-BENZYLOXYCARBONYLDIPEPTIDE METHYL AND ETHYL ESTERS
-
The reaction rates of the alkaline hydrolysis of synthesized N-protected dipeptide methyl and ethyl esters were studied systematically.From the kinetic data the energies of activation, the pre-exponential factors and the reference values at 40 deg C were calculated.The rate of hydrolysis shows to be strongly dependent on the C-terminal amino acid in the sequence Gly >> Ala/Met/Phe > Leu >> Val/Pro.Surprisingly the N-terminal amino acid also exerts an effect, but in a different sequence.N-Terminal Phe in particular shows a relative accelerating effect.Remarkable is the significantly faster ester hydrolysis of glycine containing dipeptide ethyl esters in ethanol/water compared to the corresponding methyl esters in methanol/water.

- RATES OF PEPTIDE FORMATION INVOLVING IMINO ACID RESIDUES
-
The determination of the rates for peptide coupling in tetrahydrofuran between Z-Aaa-OPcp (Aaa = Ala, (NMe)Ala, Pro, Thz, Pip and (S)Pip) and H-Bbb-OMe (Bbb = (NMe)Ala, Pro, Thz, Pip and (S)Pip) allowed us to evaluate the relative reactivities between these members, either as active components or as amino components.The reactivity of Pro (either as the active species or the amino component) equals that of (NMe)Ala.The reactivity of Pip and (S)Pip as imino components is low while the activation energy is raised by an amount that roughly equals the energy increment needed for bringing the carboxylate grouping from the equatorial to the axial position The reactivities of these six-membered residues are also appreciably low when being the active components during peptide coupling.The presence of a ring-sulfur atom at γ-position of nitrogen additionally decreases the rate for peptidation, especially if (S)Pip is the imino component.
