Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) are metalloenzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of phosphate esters under acidic conditions. Their active site contains a Fe(III)Fe(II) metal centre in mammals and a Fe(III)Zn(II) or Fe(III)Mn(II) metal centre in plants. In humans, elevated PAP levels in serum strongly correlate with the progression of osteoporosis and metabolic bone malignancies, which make PAP a target suitable for the development of chemotherapeutics to combat bone ailments. Due to difficulties in obtaining the human enzyme, the corresponding enzymes from red kidney bean and pig have been used previously to develop specific PAP inhibitors. Here, existing lead compounds were further elaborated to create a series of inhibitors with Ki values as low as ～30 μM. The inhibition constants of these compounds were of comparable magnitude for pig and red kidney bean PAPs, indicating that relevant binding interactions are conserved. The crystal structure of red kidney bean PAP in complex with the most potent inhibitor in this series, compound 4f, was solved to 2.40 ? resolution. This inhibitor coordinates directly to the binuclear metal centre in the active site as expected based on its competitive mode of inhibition. Docking simulations predict that this compound binds to human PAP in a similar mode. This study presents the first example of a PAP structure in complex with an inhibitor that is of relevance to the development of anti-osteoporotic chemotherapeutics.
High diastereoselectivity in the yang photocyclization via remote hydrogen abstraction reaction

1-Benzoyl-1-(o-alkoxyphenyl)cyclopropanes undergo Yang photocyclization to form dihydrobenzopyranols in a stereospecific manner. The cyclopropyl group at alpha position to carbonyls gives not only a bias in the most stable geometries of the starting ketones but also conformational restriction on geometries of biradical intermediates. More importantly, intramolecular hydrogen bonds seem to give an additional effect on conformational control of the biradical reactivity.
