- A facile synthesis of isotope labeled acylcarnitines
-
Acylcarnitines are a big family of small molecule metabolites with various acyl groups attached to the hydroxyl moiety of l-carnitine. They are good indicators of multiple metabolic disorders. For instance, the newborn screening panel uses flow injection tandem mass spectrometry to analyze more than 30 different acylcarnitines and amino acids extracted from dried blood spots. A facile approach has been developed for the synthesis of isotope labeled acylcarnitines whose mass shift over their unlabeled counterparts can be any number in the range of 3 to 12 Da. This strategy makes it more convenient to provide authentic internal standards for acylcarnitines profiling analyses, thereby expanding their clinical applications.

- TARGETED PLASMA PROTEIN DEGRADATION
-
The present invention is directed to the bifunctional compounds and the use of such bifunctional compounds to lower plasma levels of extracellular target molecules by lysosomal degradation. Such bifunctional compounds have a cell surface receptor ligand covalently linked to a ligand that is capable of binding to an extracellular target molecule (such as a ligand for a growth factor, a cytokine, a chemokine, a hormone, a neurotransmitter, a capsid, a soluble receptor, an extracellular secreted protein, an antibody, a lipoprotein, an exosome, a virus, a cell, or a plasma membrane protein), where the cell surface receptor is associated with receptor mediated endocytosis, including asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) mediated lysosomal degradation and mannose-6-phosphate (M6PR) mediated lysosomal degradation. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising such bifunctional compounds and methods of treating a disease or disorder mediated by an extracellular molecule using such bifunctional compounds are also provided herein.

- Design and synthesis of Coenzyme A analogues as Aurora kinase A inhibitors: An exploration of the roles of the pyrophosphate and pantetheine moieties
-
Coenzyme A (CoA) is a highly selective inhibitor of the mitotic regulatory enzyme Aurora A kinase, with a novel mode of action. Herein we report the design and synthesis of analogues of CoA as inhibitors of Aurora A kinase. We have designed and synthesised modified CoA structures as potential inhibitors, combining dicarbonyl mimics of the pyrophosphate group with a conserved adenosine headgroup and different length pantetheine-based tail groups. An analogue with a -SH group at the end of the pantotheinate tail showed the best IC50, probably due to the formation of a covalent bond with Aurora A kinase Cys290.

- Analogue synthesis reveals decoupling of antibiofilm and β-lactam potentiation activities of a lead 2-aminoimidazole adjuvant against Mycobacterium smegmatis
-
Biofilm formation is one of the many mechanisms bacteria utilize to survive antibiotic treatment. It has been demonstrated that when Mycobacterium tuberculosis exists in a biofilm in vitro, it expresses phenotypic resistance to antimicrobial drugs. As the in vivo survival of M.?tuberculosis following drug treatment is potentially linked to a biofilm-like expression of drug tolerance, it is hypothesized that biofilm dispersion should increase antibiotic susceptibility and reduce the duration of the current antibiotic treatment regimen. Previously, we have identified a 2-aminoimidazole (2-AI) compound capable of dispersing and inhibiting M.?tuberculosis and M.?smegmatis biofilms in vitro. Additionally, this compound potentiated the activity of carbenicillin against M.?tuberculosis and, to a lesser degree, M.?smegmatis. Here, we describe a SAR study on this compound evaluating each derivative for biofilm dispersion and β-lactam potentiation capabilities against M.?smegmatis. This study identified a compound that improved upon the biofilm dispersion capabilities of the lead compound. Interestingly, a different compound was identified with an increased ability to potentiate a subset of β-lactam antibiotics. These compounds indicate that biofilm dispersion and potentiation capabilities may not be associated.

- Synthesis and Th1-immunostimulatory activity of α-galactosylceramide analogues bearing a halogen-containing or selenium-containing acyl chain
-
A novel series of CD1d ligand α-galactosylceramides (α-GalCers) were synthesized by incorporation of the heavy atoms Br and Se in the acyl chain backbone of α-galactosyl-N-cerotoylphytosphingosine. The synthetic analogues are potent CD1d ligands and stimulate mouse invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells to selectively enhance Th1 cytokine production. These synthetic analogues would be efficient X-ray crystallographic probes to disclose precise atomic positions of alkyl carbons and lipid–protein interactions in KRN7000/CD1d complexes.

- Peptide conjugates of 4-aminocyclophosphamide as prodrugs of phosphoramide mustard for selective activation by prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
-
In our continued effort to develop prodrugs of phosphoramide mustard, conjugates of 4-aminocyclophosphamide (4-NH2-CPA) with three PSA-specific peptides were synthesized and evaluated as substrates of PSA. These include conjugates of cis-(2R,4R)-4-NH2-CPA with a tetrapeptide Succinyl-Ser-Lys-Leu-Gln-OH, a hexapeptide Succinyl-His-Ser-Ser-Lys-Leu-Gln-OH, and a pentapeptide Glutaryl-Hyp-Ala-Ser-Chg-Gln-OH. These conjugates were cleaved by PSA efficiently and exclusively after the expected glutamine residue to release 4-NH2-CPA, the activated prodrug form of phosphoramide mustard. The cleavage was most efficient for the pentapeptide conjugate 3 (Glutaryl-Hyp-Ala-Ser-Chg-Gln-NH-CPA), which showed a half-life of 55 min with PSA, followed by the hexapeptide conjugate 2 (Succinyl-His-Ser-Ser-Lys-Leu-Gln- NH-CPA) and the tertrapeptide conjugate 1 (Succinyl-Ser-Lys-Leu-Gln-NH-CPA) with half-lives of 6.5 and 12 h, respectively. These results indicate a potential of the conjugate 3 as an anticancer prodrug of phosphoramide mustard for selective PSA activation.

Reaction of dicarboxylic acid with benzyl alcohol under the microwave irradiation proceeds faster as compared to the thermal conditions. The main reaction products are alkyl dicarboxylates, and the monoester and dibenzyl ether are formed as the side products. A proposal about the nature of the nonthermal effect in the reactions stimulated by the microwave irradiation is considered.

- Enantioselective esterase activity of an industrial glutaryl acylase
-
The unexpected esterase activity of an industrial glutaryl acylase was investigated. Glutaryl esters of a series of primary and secondary alcohols as well as of phenols were all efficiently hydrolyzed, the only exception being the sterically hindered glutarate of thymol. The enantioselectivities of the acylase, which were evaluated with three of these substrates, were quite low (E values ranging between 1.9 and 7.2), but were significantly improved by substrate and/or solvent engineering. Enantiomerically enriched hydrolyzed alcohols and unreacted glutarates can be easily separated by selective extraction, thus avoiding chromatographic steps.

- Dipeptidyl aspartyl fluoromethylketones as potent caspase inhibitors: SAR of the N-protecting group
-
The synthesis and biological evaluation of a group of N-protected Val-Asp-fmk as caspase inhibitors is reported. This article describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of a group of N-protected Val-Asp-fmk as caspase inhibitors. The protecting group was found to contribute to caspase-3 inhibiting activity, and compounds with a large group such as Cbz are more active than compounds with a small group such as Ac. Compounds with more hydrophobic protecting groups were found to be more active in cell apoptosis protection assays, probably due to increased cell permeability. MX1122, 2,4-di-Cl-Cbz-Val-Asp-fmk, is identified as a potent broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor and is selective for caspases versus other proteases, with good activity in the cell apoptosis protection assays as well as good efficacy in the mouse liver apoptosis model.

- Synthesis and physicochemical assessment of novel 2-substituted 3-hydroxypyridin-4-ones, novel iron chelators
-
Novel 3-hydroxypyridin-4-one containing tridentate ligands were synthesised and their physicochemical properties characterised, including ionisation constants and stoichiometric titration with Fe(III). There is an urgent demand for orally active iron chelators with potential for the treatment of thalassaemia. In principle, tridentate ligands are likely to be more kinetically stable than bidentate molecules, but to date no satisfactory molecules have been identified. Fe(III) stability constants were assessed by competition with the hexadentate ligand EDTA. In all cases no evidence was found for a tridentate mode of iron chelation; instead the ligands behaved as bidentate hydroxypyridinones. As a consequence they provide no advantage over the more simple alkyl hydroxypyridinones.

- Regioselective synthesis of acyclovir and its various prodrugs
-
High-yield regioselective synthesis of 9-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]guanine (Acyclovir 1, Scheme 1) was achieved from guanine via trisilylated guanine. N2-acylacyclovir 9a-9b were prepared from N2, O-diacylacyclovir (4, 8b-8d) using regioselective deacylation procedure. N2-Acylacyclovir 11 and 13 were prepared via protection of primary hydroxyl groups. Three amino acid esters of acyclovir were synthesized as water-soluble prodrugs, which form protonated cations in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer. Two water-soluble ester prodrugs with free carboxylic acids, which form anionic species in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer, were also synthesized.

This paper describes our recent study of glycosyl phosphites for glycosylation reactions, with particular emphasis on the investigation of protecting group and stereochemistry effects on the anomeric reactivity and stereoselectivity, and the application of this methodology to the synthesis of Lewis X (Le(x)), Lewis Y (Le(y)), glycopeptides, and sialyl Lewis X (SLe(x)) mimetics. Both α-O-fucosyl-L-threonine and α-O-fucosyl-(1R,2R)-2-aminocyclohexanol were found to be effective templates for the chemical/enzymatic synthesis of SLe(x) mimetics, and some fucopeptides prepared were 5-10 times more active than SLe(x) as inhibitors of E-selectin.

- The potential application of catalytic antibodies to protecting group removal: Catalytic antibodies with broad substrate tolerance
-
A catalytic antibody was developed to selectively cleave the alcohol ester of 4-nitrophenylacetyl moiety while also tolerating a wide variety of structural variation on the alcohol portion of the molecule. The basis to the success of this study was that antibody epitope recognition was directed toward only key elements contained within the 4-nitrophenylacetyl group and not the entire haptenic molecule. This study offers the potential application of catalytic antibodies as practical reagents for the selective deprotection of complex multifunctionalized molecules possessing class similar protecting groups. Such a chemoabzymatic approach could eventually minimize synthetic complications which can arise from functional group protection in the synthesis of complex natural products.

- Orally effective acid prodrugs of the β-lactamase inhibitor sulbactam
-
Sulbactam (1) is a β-lactamase inhibitor with limited oral bioavailability. Lipophilic double-ester prodrug sulbactam pivoxil (2) significantly improves the oral absorption of sulbactam, as does the mutual prodrug double ester sultamicillin (3). We have found that double-ester prodrugs of sulbactam terminating in a carboxyl group (8) also were effective oral-delivery vehicles in rats. Carboxyl-terminated double esters have several potential advantages over their nonionizable lipophilic counterparts, including water solubility, crystallinity, choice of salts for dosage forms, and formation of innocuous byproducts on hydrolysis.

- SELECTIVE MONOETHERIFICATION AND MONOESTERIFICATION OF DIOLS AND DIACIDS UNDER PHASE-TRANSFER CONDITIONS

Research on the selectivity of etherification reactions of diols and esterification reactions of diacids by alkyl halides under phase-transfer catalysis has shown that under such conditions, selectivity of monoetherification increases in the order prim sec tert diols, though overall yield of monoether decreases from sec to tert diols.Monoesterification of diacids was accomplished with a high degree of selectivity.Optimal extraction of diols and diacids was found to correspond in general to chain lengths of around 5 carbons.This could mean that the complex formed between the catalyst and the anion to react is stabilized for certain carbon lengths by inner solvation in virtue of its spatial conformation.
