- Repurposing an Aldolase for the Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Substituted Quinolines
-
Quinoline derivatives are important natural products and pharmaceuticals, but their synthesis can be challenging due to poor yields, harsh reaction conditions, and instability of starting materials. Here we report the chemoenzymatic synthesis of quinaldic acids under mild conditions using an aldolase, trans-o-hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate hydratase-aldolase (NahE, or HBPA). A series of 2-aminobenzaldehydes derived from reduction of the corresponding nitro analogue were reacted with pyruvate in the presence of NahE to give substituted quinolines in up to 93% isolated yield. This reaction differs from the aldol condensation catalyzed by NahE in vivo, instead resembling the heterocycle formation catalyzed by its homologue, dihydrodipicolinate synthase.

- Identification of Inhibitors of Cholesterol Transport Proteins Through the Synthesis of a Diverse, Sterol-Inspired Compound Collection
-
Cholesterol transport proteins regulate a vast array of cellular processes including lipid metabolism, vesicular and non-vesicular trafficking, organelle contact sites, and autophagy. Despite their undoubted importance, the identification of selective modulators of this class of proteins has been challenging due to the structural similarities in the cholesterol-binding site. Herein we report a general strategy for the identification of selective inhibitors of cholesterol transport proteins via the synthesis of a diverse sterol-inspired compound collection. Fusion of a primary sterol fragment to an array of secondary privileged scaffolds led to the identification of potent and selective inhibitors of the cholesterol transport protein Aster-C, which displayed a surprising preference for the unnatural-sterol AB-ring stereochemistry and new inhibitors of Aster-A. We propose that this strategy can and should be applied to any therapeutically relevant sterol-binding protein.

- Vasicine from Adhatoda vasica as an organocatalyst for metal-free Henry reaction and reductive heterocyclization of o-nitroacylbenzenes
-
Vasicine, a quinazoline alkaloid, from the leaves of Adhatoda vasica, has been utilized as an efficient catalyst for metal and base free Henry reaction of various aldehydes with nitro alkanes. The method can be used in the synthesis of various β-nitro alcohols under mild reaction conditions without use of hazardous organic solvents and expensive catalysts. Vasicine is also applied successfully for one pot synthesis of 2,1-benzisoxazoles from o-nitroacylbenzenes in good yields under mild conditions.

- Synthesis of quinolines and naphthyridines: Via catalytic retro-aldol reaction of β-hydroxyketones with ortho -aminobenzaldehydes or nicotinaldehydes
-
A Cu(i)-catalyzed retro-aldol reaction of β-hydroxyketones with ortho-aminobenzaldehydes and nicotinaldehydes is reported that produces a range of quinolines and naphthyridines with high efficiency and selectivity. This reaction uses β-hydroxyketones as a regiospecific ketone-protected enolate source via copper-catalyzed retro-aldol Cα-Cβ bond cleavage. The in situ generated copper enolate undergoes kinetically favorable cyclization with ortho-amino aryl aldehydes to produce quinolines and naphthyridines in a chemo- and regioselective manner. The mild and weakly basic reaction conditions also suppress possible side reactions of benzaldehydes under strongly basic conditions, resulting in improved reaction yields.

- Chemoselective Oxidation of Benzyl, Amino, and Propargyl Alcohols to Aldehydes and Ketones under Mild Reaction Conditions
-
Catalytic oxidation reactions often suffer from drawbacks such as low yields and poor selectivity. Particularly, selective oxidation of alcohols becomes more difficult when a compound contains more than one oxidizable functional group. In order to deliver a methodology that addresses these issues, herein we report an efficient, aerobic, chemoselective and simplified approach to oxidize a broad range of benzyl and propargyl alcohols containing diverse functional groups to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones in excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Optimal yields were obtained at room temperature using 1 mmol substrate, 10 mol% copper(I) iodide, 10 mol% 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), ands 1 mol% 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO) in acetonitrile, under an oxygen balloon. The catalytic system can be applied even when sensitive and oxidizable groups such as alkynes, amines, and phenols are present; starting materials and products containing such groups were found to be stable under the developed conditions.

- Synthesis of quinolinomorphinan derivatives as highly selective δ opioid receptor ligands
-
We have reported previously the novel δ opioid agonist KNT-127 which showed high affinity and selectivity for the δ receptor. Moreover, the analgesic effect of subcutaneously administered KNT-127 was more potent than that of a prototypical δ agonist (-)-TAN-67 in the acetic acid writhing test. This study of the structure-activity relationship of KNT-127 derivatives focused on the introduction of substituents onto the 5′-, 6′-, 7′- or 8′-position of the quinoline ring and revealed that many derivatives with 5′- or 8′-substituents showed high affinities and selectivities for the δ receptor. Especially, SYK-153 with an 8′-OH group showed the highest affinity and the most balanced and highest selectivity for the δ receptor among the synthesized compounds.
