- Potent Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Activity by the Natural Product Gallinamide A and Analogues via Inhibition of Cathepsin L
-
Cathepsin L is a key host cysteine protease utilized by coronaviruses for cell entry and is a promising drug target for novel antivirals against SARS-CoV-2. The marine natural product gallinamide A and several synthetic analogues were identified as potent inhibitors of cathepsin L with IC50 values in the picomolar range. Lead molecules possessed selectivity over other cathepsins and alternative host proteases involved in viral entry. Gallinamide A directly interacted with cathepsin L in cells and, together with two lead analogues, potently inhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro, with EC50 values in the nanomolar range. Reduced antiviral activity was observed in cells overexpressing transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2); however, a synergistic improvement in antiviral activity was achieved when combined with a TMPRSS2 inhibitor. These data highlight the potential of cathepsin L as a COVID-19 drug target as well as the likely need to inhibit multiple routes of viral entry to achieve efficacy.

- Design of Gallinamide A Analogs as Potent Inhibitors of the Cysteine Proteases Human Cathepsin L and Trypanosoma cruzi Cruzain
-
Gallinamide A, originally isolated with a modest antimalarial activity, was subsequently reisolated and characterized as a potent, selective, and irreversible inhibitor of the human cysteine protease cathepsin L. Molecular docking identified potential modifications to improve binding, which were synthesized as a suite of analogs. Resultingly, this current study produced the most potent gallinamide analog yet tested against cathepsin L (10, Ki = 0.0937 ± 0.01 nM and kinact/Ki = 8 730 000). From a protein structure and substrate preference perspective, cruzain, an essential Trypanosoma cruzi cysteine protease, is highly homologous. Our investigations revealed that gallinamide and its analogs potently inhibit cruzain and are exquisitely toxic toward T. cruzi in the intracellular amastigote stage. The most active compound, 5, had an IC50 = 5.1 ± 1.4 nM, but was relatively inactive to both the epimastigote (insect stage) and the host cell, and thus represents a new candidate for the treatment of Chagas disease.

- Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure 3-Substituted Piperazine-2-acetic Acid Esters as Intermediates for Library Production
-
The piperazine heterocycle is broadly exploited in FDA-approved drugs and biologically active compounds, but its chemical diversity is usually limited to ring nitrogen substitutions, leaving the four carbon atoms underutilized. Using an efficient six-step synthesis, chiral amino acids were transformed into 3-substituted piperazine-2-acetic acid esters as diastereomeric mixtures whose cis and trans products (dr 0.56 a? 2.2:1, respectively) could be chromatographically separated. From five amino acids (both antipodes) was obtained a complete matrix of 20 monoprotected chiral 2,3-disubstituted piperazines, each as a single absolute stereoisomer, all but one in multigram quantities. In keeping with our overall purpose of constructing more Csp3-enriched compound libraries for drug discovery, these diverse and versatile piperazines can be functionalized on either nitrogen atom, allowing them to be used as scaffolds for parallel library synthesis and as intermediates for the production of novel piperazine compounds.

- Triazole Ureas Act as Diacylglycerol Lipase Inhibitors and Prevent Fasting-Induced Refeeding
-
Triazole ureas constitute a versatile class of irreversible inhibitors that target serine hydrolases in both cells and animal models. We have previously reported that triazole ureas can act as selective and CNS-active inhibitors for diacylglycerol lipases (DAGLs), enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) that activates cannabinoid CB1 receptor. Here, we report the enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies. We found that 2,4-substituted triazole ureas with a biphenylmethanol group provided the most optimal scaffold. Introduction of a chiral ether substituent on the 5-position of the piperidine ring provided ultrapotent inhibitor 38 (DH376) with picomolar activity. Compound 38 temporarily reduces fasting-induced refeeding of mice, thereby emulating the effect of cannabinoid CB1-receptor inverse agonists. This was mirrored by 39 (DO34) but also by the negative control compound 40 (DO53) (which does not inhibit DAGL), which indicates the triazole ureas may affect the energy balance in mice through multiple molecular targets.

- Synthesis of new (-)-bestatin-based inhibitor libraries reveals a novel binding mode in the S1 pocket of the essential malaria M1 metalloaminopeptidase
-
The malarial PfA-M1 metallo-aminopeptidase is considered a putative drug target. The natural product dipeptide mimetic, bestatin, is a potent inhibitor of PfA-M1. Herein we present a new, efficient, and high-yielding protocol for the synthesis of bestatin derivatives from natural and unnatural N-Boc-d-amino acids. A diverse library of bestatin derivatives was synthesized with variants at the side chain of either the α-hydroxyβ-amino acid (P1) or the adjacent naturalα-amino acid (P1′). Surprisingly, we found that extended aromatic side chains at the P1 position resulted in potent inhibition against PfA-M1. To understand these data, we determined the X-ray cocrystal structures of PfA-M1 with two derivatives having either a Tyr(OMe) 15 or Tyr(OBzl) 16 at the P1 position and observed substantial inhibitor-induced rearrangement of the primary loop within the PfA-M1 pocket that interacts with the P1 side chain. Our data provide important insights for the rational design of more potent and selective inhibitors of this enzyme that may eventually lead to new therapies for malaria.

- Deglycobleomycin A6 analogues modified in the methylvalerate moiety
-
Previous studies have indicated that the methylvalerate subunit of bleomycin (BLM) plays an important role in facilitating DNA cleavage by BLM and deglycoBLM. Eleven methylvalerate analogues have been synthesized and incorporated into deglycoBLM congeners by the use of solid-phase synthesis. The effect of the valerate moiety in the deglycoBLM analogues has been studied by comparison with the parent deglycoBLM A5 using supercoiled DNA relaxation and sequence-selective DNA cleavage assays. All of the deglycoBLM analogues were found to effect the relaxation of the plasmid DNA. Those analogues having aromatic C4-substituents exhibited cleavage efficiency comparable to that of deglycoBLM A5. Some, but not all, of the deglycoBLM analogues were also capable of mediating sequence-selective DNA cleavage.

Systematic alteration of the stereocenters of a potent compound revealed interdependence between the various positions. Although typically less potent than their L-peptidomimetic counterparts, selected all D-amino acid containing analogues were equipotent to their counterparts in a cell-based assay when incubated for extended times.

Diastereoselective synthesis of new psi[(E)-CH=CMe]- and psi[(Z)-CH=CMe]-type alkene dipeptide isosteres corresponding to dipeptides having one N-methylamino acid, and application to bioactive peptides, are described. In a key reaction introducing the chiral alpha-alkyl group of the isosteres, organocopper-mediated alkylation of syn-beta-methylated gamma-mesyloxy-alpha,beta-enoate 26a afforded E- and Z-isomers of anti-S(N)2' products in a solvent-dependent manner. The resulting two isosteres, D-Phe-psi[(E)-CH=CMe]-L-Val 27a and D-Phe-psi[(Z)-CH=CMe]-L-Val 28b, which corresponded to trans- and cis-conformers of D-Phe-L-MeVal, respectively, were utilized in a structure-activity relationship study on cyclic RGD peptides 1 and 2, in company with a psi[(E)-CH=CH]-type alkene dipeptide isostere, D-Phe-psi[(E)-CH=CH]-L-Val. The cyclic isostere-containing pseudopeptides 3, 4, and 40 were synthesized and biological activity against integrin alpha(V)beta(3) and alpha(IIb)beta(3) receptors were also evaluated.

Chiral vinylogous amino sulfonic acids (vs-amino acids) were synthesized starting from either L- or D-α-amino acids via N-Boc-α-amino aldehydes. Wittig-Horner reaction with methyl (or ethyl) diethylphosphoryl methanesulfonate and nBuLi gave the corresponding α,β-unsaturated sulfonates in high yield and complete (E) stereoselectivity. Cleavage of the methyl (ethyl) ester was effected by treatment of the sulfonates with nBu4NI in refluxing acetone. Treatment of the nBu4N+ sulfonate salts with SO2Cl2/PPh3/CH2Cl2 gave the corresponding sulfonyl chlorides as stable chromatographable compounds. The synthetic sequence proved successful not only starting from α-amino acids carrying unfunctionalized side-chains (Ala, Val, Phe, Leu, Pro), but also with functionalized α-amino acids (Ser, Tyr, Gln) provided that the side chains were suitably protected. The sulfonyl chlorides were coupled with the amine salts to give vs-dipeptides. Amine hydrochlorides were prepared from N-Boc derivatives by treatment with HCl in methanol or ethyl acetate. The process was further iterated to give vstripeptides and vs-tetrapeptides. The above procedure was also used to synthesize "mixed" peptides, which incorporate both proteinogenic α-amino acids and vs-amino acids. Proteinogenic α-amino acids were incorporated at both the C-terminal and the N-terminal position.

A series of 2-(1'-aminoalkyl)-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid derivatives was synthesized by condensation of (R)- or (S)-Cys with the amino aldehydes obtained from N-Boc-protected (S)-Ile, (S)-Leu, O-Bzl-(S)-Tyr, (S)- and (R)-Phe, and N-Z-(S)-Phe, N-Pht-(S)-Phe and N-(Pht)-(R)-Phe. All compounds were studied by 1H NMR and CD. The 2D NOESY experiments were carried out to determine the configuration of the newly formed stereogenic centre in position 2 of the thiazolidine ring. It was found that the configuration on the thiazolidine C2 atom is R or S when N-Boc- and N-Z-(S)-amino aldehydes or N-Boc- and N-Z-(R)-amino aldehydes are used in the reaction, respectively. The situation is opposite in the case of N-Pht-Phe derived amino aldehydes. The relation between the C2 atom configuration and the shape of CD spectra is discussed. Key words: 2-(1'-aminoalkyl)-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids, amino aldehydes, cysteine, stereoselectivity, absolute configuration, NMR, CD.
