Synthesis and Evaluation of a Linkable Functional Group-Equipped Analogue of the Epothilones.

ABSTRACT: An approach to the validation of a linker strategy for the epothilone family of microtubule-stabilizing agents is reported. An analogue of epothilone B in which the C(6) methyl group has been replaced with a 4-azidobutyl group has been prepared by total chemical synthesis, and amides derived from the azido group have been shown to retain the activity of the parent compound. These results set the stage for an evaluation of the potential of the epothilones to serve as the drug component of antibody-drug conjugates and other selective tumor cell-targeting conjugates.

Synthesis and biochemical evaluation of cephalosporin analogues equipped with chemical tethers.

Project description:Molecular probes typically require structural modifications to allow for the immobilisation or bioconjugation with a desired substrate but the effects of these changes are often not evaluated. Here, we set out to determine the effects of attaching functional handles to a first-generation cephalosporin. A series of cephalexin derivatives was prepared, equipped with chemical tethers suitable for the site-selective conjugation of antibiotics to functionalised surfaces. The tethers were positioned remotely from the β-lactam ring to ensure minimal effect to the antibiotic's pharmacophore. Herein, the activity of the modified antibiotics was evaluated for binding to the therapeutic target, the penicillin binding proteins, and shown to maintain binding interactions. In addition, the deactivation of the modified drugs by four β-lactamases (TEM-1, CTX-M-15, AmpC, NDM-1) was investigated and the effect of the tethers on the catalytic efficiencies determined. CTX-M-15 was found to favour hydrolysis of the parent antibiotic without a tether, whereas AmpC and NDM-1 were found to favour the modified analogues. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of the derivatives was evaluated to investigate the effect of the structural modifications on the antimicrobial activity of the parent drug, cephalexin.

A new antiproliferative noscapine analogue: chemical synthesis and biological evaluation.

Project description:Noscapine, a naturally occurring opium alkaloid, is a widely used antitussive medication. Noscapine has low toxicity and recently it was also found to possess cytotoxic activity which led to the development of many noscapine analogues. In this paper we report on the synthesis and testing of a novel noscapine analogue. Cytotoxicity was assessed by MTT colorimetric assay using SKBR-3 and paclitaxel-resistant SKBR-3 breast cancer cell lines using different concentrations for both noscapine and the novel compound. Microtubule polymerization assay was used to determine the effect of the new compound on microtubules. To compare the binding affinity of noscapine and the novel compound to tubulin, we have done a fluorescence quenching assay. Finally, in silico methods using docking calculations were used to illustrate the binding mode of the new compound to α,β-tubulin. Our cytotoxicity results show that the new compound is more cytotoxic than noscapine on both SKBR-3 cell lines. This was confirmed by the stronger binding affinity of the new compound, compared to noscapine, to tubulin. Surprisingly, our new compound was found to have strong microtubule-destabilizing properties, while noscapine is shown to slightly stabilize microtubules. Our calculation indicated that the new compound has more binding affinity to the colchicine-binding site than to the noscapine site. This novel compound has a more potent cytotoxic effect on cancer cell lines than its parent, noscapine, and hence should be of interest as a potential anti-cancer drug.

Synthesis and Characterization of Alkyne-Functionalized Photo-Cross-Linkable Polyesters.

Project description:An alkyne-functionalized elastomer derived from sebacic acid, 1,3-propanediol, and alkyne-functionalized serinol is synthesized via melt condensation. A low-power UV lamp triggers the cross-linking rapidly via thiol-yne click chemistry. The cross-linking behavior is studied by photorheology and NMR spectroscopy. The resultant elastomer possesses mechanical properties similar to those of human soft tissues and exhibits in vitro degradability and good cytocompatibility.

Design of α/β-Hybrid Peptide Ligands of α4β1 Integrin Equipped with a Linkable Side Chain for Chemoselective Biofunctionalization of Microstructured Materials.

Project description:Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-binding integrins, e.g., αvβ3, αvβ1, αvβ5 integrins, are currently regarded as privileged targets for the delivery of diagnostic and theranostic agents, especially in cancer treatment. In contrast, scarce attention has been paid so far to the diagnostic opportunities promised by integrins that recognize other peptide motifs. In particular, α4β1 integrin is involved in inflammatory, allergic, and autoimmune diseases, therefore, it represents an interesting therapeutic target. Aiming at obtaining simple, highly stable ligands of α4β1 integrin, we designed hybrid α/β peptidomimetics carrying linkable side chains for the expedient functionalization of biomaterials, nano- and microparticles. We identified the prototypic ligands MPUPA-(R)-isoAsp(NHPr)-Gly-OH (12) and MPUPA-Dap(Ac)-Gly-OH (13) (MPUPA, methylphenylureaphenylacetic acid; Dap, 2,3-diamino propionic acid). Modification of 12 and 13 by introduction of flexible linkers at isoAsp or Dap gave 49 and 50, respectively, which allowed for coating with monolayers (ML) of flat zeolite crystals. The resulting peptide-zeolite MLs were able to capture selectively α4β1 integrin-expressing cells. In perspective, the α4β1 integrin ligands identified in this study can find applications for preparing biofunctionalized surfaces and diagnostic devices to control the progression of α4β1 integrin-correlated diseases.

Enantioselective total synthesis and biological evaluation of (+)-kibdelone A and a tetrahydroxanthone analogue.

Project description:The total synthesis of kibdelone A has been accomplished via In(III)-catalyzed arylation of a heterocyclic quinone monoketal and iodine-mediated oxidative photochemical electrocyclization for construction of the ABCD ring moiety. Enzymatic dihydroxylation of methyl 2-halobenzoate substrates was employed for synthesis of activated 2-halo-cyclohexene F-ring fragments. A one pot oxa-Michael/Friedel-Crafts process allowed access to the first simplified DEF ring analogues of the kibdelones.

Total synthesis of epothilones B and D: stannane equivalents for beta-keto ester dianions.

Project description:Studies leading to a total synthesis of epothilones B and D are described. The overall synthetic plan was based on late-stage fragment assembly of two segments representing C(1)-C(9) and C(10)-C(21) of the structure. The C(1)-C(9) fragment was prepared by elaboration of commercially available (2R)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate at both ends of the three-carbon unit. Introduction of carbons 1-4 containing the gem-dimethyl unit was achieved in a convergent manner using a diastereoselective addition of a stannane equivalent of a beta-keto ester dianion. An enantioselective addition of such a stannane equivalent for a beta-keto ester dianion was also used to fashion one version of the C(10)-C(21) subunit; however, the fragment assembly (using bimolecular esterification followed by ring-closing metathesis) with this subunit failed. Therefore, fragment assembly was achieved using a Wittig reaction; this was followed by macrolactonization to close the macrocycle. The C(10)-C(21) subunit needed for this approach was prepared in an efficient manner using the Corey-Kim reaction as a key element. Other key reactions in the synthesis include a stereoselective SmI(2) reduction of a beta-hydroxy ketone and a critical opening of a valerolactone with aniline which required extensive investigation.

Functional evaluation of a novel kisspeptin analogue on the reproduction of female goldfish.

Project description:Kisspeptin (kp) is a key regulator of reproduction, which stimulates sexual maturation and gametogenesis in mammals, amphibians, and teleosts. In the present study, to enhance the biological activity of kp10, a novel analog (referred to as M-kp10) was designed based on the endogenous goldfish variant, in which phenylalanine 6 was substituted by tryptophan and the N-terminus was acetylated. Compared with the native kp-10 and salmon gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH3), the effect of M-kp10 on sexual hormones and reproductive indices as well as the expression of kiss1, cyp19a1, and kiss1ra genes in goldfish (Carassius auratus) was investigated. In practice, peptides were synthesized based on the standard Fmoc-solid-phase peptide synthesis and purified by employing RP-HPLC, followed by approving their structure using ESI-MS. The results showed that M-kp10 increased significantly 17,20β-DHP, LH, FSH and E2 as well as fecundity, hatching and fertilization percentages than the other peptides. Histological studies revealed that M-kp10 led to the faster growth of ovarian follicles compared to the kp-10 and GnRH3. The genes of cyp19a1, kiss1ra, and kiss1 were remarkably more expressed after treatment with M-kp10. In conclusion, the results indicated the superiority of M-kp10 over kp-10 in inducing sexual maturation and accelerating the percentage of fecundity, suggesting that M-kp10 could be a promising candidate for application in the artificial breeding of fish.

CF<sub>3</sub>-Cyclobutanes: Synthesis, Properties, and Evaluation as a Unique <i>tert</i>-Butyl Group Analogue.

Project description:Isosteric replacement of functional groups is an emerging strategy for optimizing bioactive molecules in drug discovery. tert-Butyl group is a particularly important moiety, yet its isosteric replacement with 1-trifluoromethyl-cyclobutyl group has been rather neglected. To enable the advance of this molecular fragment in drug discovery programs, we report the synthesis of over 30 small-molecule building blocks featuring the trifluoromethyl-cyclobutyl fragment, achieved by reacting sulfur tetrafluoride with cyclobutylcarboxylic acids on a gram-to-multigram scale. Furthermore, we characterized the structural properties of this group through X-ray analysis, studied its effect on acid-base transitions, and evaluated its Hammett parameters. Finally, we evaluated the replacement of tert-butyl with 1-trifluoromethyl-cyclobutyl in several bioactive compounds that represent commercial drugs and agrochemicals. Our findings indicate that while the trifluoromethyl-cyclobutyl group exhibited slightly larger steric size and moderately increased lipophilicity, it preserved the original mode of bioactivity in the examined cases and, in some cases, enhanced resistance to metabolic clearance.
