An expedient synthesis of 5-n-alkylresorcinols and novel 5-n-alkylresorcinol haptens.

ABSTRACT: The first synthesis of bioactive long alkyl chain 5-n-alkylresorcinols, present in whole grain products, by a novel modification of the Wittig reaction is described. All the main long chain 5-n-alkylresorcinols present in rye and wheat, including C(23) and C(25) analogues and haptens, which have not been previously prepared, were synthesised. Microwave-promoted reactions of a semi-stabilized ylid and alkanals in water gave good yields in both pressurized and open systems. An alternative microwave-promoted synthesis starting from non-stabilized alkyltriphenylphosphonium salts and 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde worked as well. Aqueous media were suitable for the reactions even if the starting materials were not soluble in water. The 5-n-alkylresorcinols are potential biomarkers of whole grain intake, and the new hapten derivatives of 5-n-alkylresorcinols will open the way for the immunochemical detection techniques of alkylresorcinols.

Isolation and characterization of Azotobacter vinelandii mutants impaired in alkylresorcinol synthesis: alkylresorcinols are not essential for cyst desiccation resistance.

Project description:During encystment of Azotobacter vinelandii, a family of alkylresorcinols (ARs) and alkylpyrones (APs) are synthesized. In the mature cyst, these lipids replace the membrane phospholipids and are also components of the layers covering the cyst. In this study, A. vinelandii strains unable to synthesize ARs were isolated after mini-Tn5 mutagenesis. Cloning and nucleotide sequencing of the affected loci revealed the presence of the transposons within the arsA gene of the previously reported arsABCD gene cluster, which encodes a type I fatty acid synthase. A mutant strain (SW-A) carrying an arsA mutation allowing transcription of arsBCD was constructed and shown to be unable to produce ARs, indicating that the ArsA protein is essential for the synthesis of these phenolic lipids. Transcription of arsA was induced 200-fold in cells undergoing encystment, but only 14-fold in aged cultures of A. vinelandii, in accordance with AR synthesis and cyst formation percentages under the two conditions. Although it was previously reported that the inactivation of arsB abolishes AR synthesis and results in a failure in encystment, the arsA mutants were able to form cysts resistant to desiccation. These data indicate that ARs play a structural role in the exine layer of the cysts, but they are not essential for either cyst formation or for desiccation resistance.

Synthesis and immunological effects of C14-linked 4,5-epoxymorphinan analogues as novel heroin vaccine haptens.

Project description:Active immunization is being explored as a potential therapeutic to combat accidental overdose and to mitigate the abuse potential of opioids. Hapten design is one of the crucial factors that determines the efficacy of a candidate vaccine to substance abuse and remains one of the most active areas of research in vaccine development. Herein we report for the first time the synthesis of three novel opiate surrogates with the linker attachment site at C14, 1 (6,14-AmidoHap), 2 (14-AmidoMorHap), and 3 (14-AmidoHerHap) as novel heroin haptens. The compounds 1, 2, and 3 are analogues with different substituents at C6: an acetamide, a hydroxyl moiety, and an acetate, respectively. All three haptens had a phenolic hydroxyl group at C3. The haptens were conjugated to the tetanus toxoid carrier protein, adjuvanted with liposomal monophosphoryl lipid A/aluminum hydroxide and were tested in mice in terms of immunogenicity and efficacy. Immunization of mice resulted in antibody endpoint titers of >105 against all the haptens. Neither of the conjugates of 1, 2, and 3 had induced antibodies with selectivity broad enough to recognize and bind heroin, 6-AM, and morphine resulting in little to no protection against the antinociceptive effects of heroin in vivo. Only the mice immunized with conjugate 3 were partially protected against heroin-induced antinociception. These results contribute to the growing body of knowledge that the linker position and the subtle structural differences in the hapten scaffold impact the selectivity of the induced antibodies. Together, these highlight the importance of rational hapten design for heroin vaccine development.

An Expedient Synthesis of Murrayaquinone A via a Novel Oxidative Free Radical Reaction.

Project description:Murrayaquinones A-D is a group of four bioactive carbazole-1,4-dione natural products isolated from the root bark of the plant Murraya eucrestifolia hayata. Murrayaquinone is synthesized in five steps starting from the commercially available 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde with an overall yield of 45%. The novelty of this murrayaquinone synthesis is in the use of a Mn(OAc)3 mediated oxidative radical reaction of a N-benzylaminoquinone derivative with 2-cyclohexen-1-one for the late-stage indole ring construction.

Expedient synthesis of α-substituted fluoroethenes.

Project description:A mild and efficient synthesis of 1-aryl-1-fluoroethenes from benzothiazolyl (aryl)fluoromethyl sulfones and paraformaldehyde, under DBU- or Cs(2)CO(3)-mediated conditions at room temperature, is described. A comparable diethyl fluoro(naphthalen-2-yl)methylphosphonate reagent does not react with paraformaldehyde under these mild conditions. The utility of the methodology for synthesis of terminal α-fluoroalkenes bearing electron-withdrawing functionalities is also shown.

Expedient enantioselective synthesis of cermizine D.

Project description:An efficient enantioselective synthesis of cermizine D has been developed that exploits the use of a common intermediate to access over 85% of the carbon backbone. Key steps include an organocatalyzed heteroatom Michael addition, a diastereoselective alkylation with α-iodomethyl phenyl sulfide, a conjugate addition to a vinyl sulfone species, and a sulfone coupling/desulfurization sequence to join the two major subunits.

Preliminary Study on Novel Expedient Synthesis of 5-Azaisocoumarins by Transition Metal-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization.

Project description:A preliminary study to develop a novel synthetic method for 3-aryl-5-azaisocoumarins was performed herein. The cycloisomerization of N-pyranonyl propargylamines in the AgOTf-catalyzed system efficiently afforded the desired 3-aryl-5-azaisocoumarins in a highly regioselective manner. This unprecedented method is expected as an expedient alternative synthetic route to 5-azaisocoumarins because the regioselectivity problem is circumvented, and it is easier to introduce substituents on the pyridine ring compared to previously reported intramolecular lactonization approaches.

Expedient on-resin synthesis of peptidic benzimidazoles.

Project description:The benzimidazole moiety is a ubiquitous pharmacophore present in numerous anthelmintic, antibacterial, antiviral, antineoplastic, and antifungal drugs. While the polypharmacology of this heterocycle has spurred the development of numerous solution-phase syntheses, only a handful of disparate and inefficient methods detailing its synthesis on-resin have been reported. Here we report the concise and expedient syntheses of internal and C-terminal peptidic benzimidazoles - an emerging class of peptide deformylase (PDF)-inhibiting antimicrobials. This method benefits from being performed wholly on solid-phase at room temperature resulting in minimal purification and tolerance of temperature-sensitive functionality.

Expedient Synthesis of SMAMPs via Click Chemistry.

Project description:A novel series of synthetic mimics of antimicrobial peptides (SMAMPs) containing triazole linkers were assembled using click chemistry. While only moderately active in buffer alone, an increase in antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was observed when these SMAMPs were administered in the presence of mouse serum. One compound had minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 0.39 μg/mL and 6.25 μg/mL, respectively, and an HC50 of 693 μg/mL. These values compared favorably to peptide-based antimicrobials. A correlation between the net positive charge and SMAMP antimicrobial activity was observed. The triazole linker, an amide surrogate, was found to provide better antimicrobial activity against both S. aureus and E. coli when compared to other analogues.

Expedient synthesis of a modular phosphate affinity reagent.

Project description:Isolation and identification of phosphorylated macromolecules is essential for the deconvolution of most biological regulatory networks. Koike and co-workers recently reported the application of a dinuclear zinc-(pyridylmethyl)amine complex to phosphate-specific affinity purifications and gave it the shorthand name "phos-tag". This complex is valuable for studying phosphorylation because it binds selectively to phosphate dianion in the presence of acidic functional groups at physiological pH, and because the binding is largely independent of molecular context. These properties of phos-tag recommend it for applications in phosphoproteomics, metabolomics, and nucleic acid biology. The catch has been that the molecule is difficult to make and prohibitively expensive to buy. Here, we describe an efficient and inexpensive synthesis of a phos-tag derivative with a versatile alkyne handle. The alkyne handle allows for attachment of phos-tag to alkyl azides via the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction ("click chemistry"). We characterize the phosphate binding behavior of the new phos-tag derivative in a variety of experimental assays, including its conjugation to a fluorescent reporter, to acrylamide gels, and to sepharose chromatography resin. The synthesis we report should enable a broader use of phos-tag for phosphate-related biochemistry, as both an analytical and a preparative reagent.
