Synthesis of mono- and dideoxygenated alpha,alpha-trehalose analogs.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we describe the synthesis and NMR characterization of four mono- and four dideoxygenated analogs of alpha,alpha-D-trehalose. The symmetrical (2,2'-, 3,3'-, 4,4'- and 6,6'-) dideoxy analogs were obtained via selective protection and subsequent radical deoxygenation of the desired hydroxyl group set. The unsymmetrical (2'-, 3'-, 4'- and 6'-) monodeoxy analogs were synthesized by desymmetrization of alpha,alpha-trehalose and subsequent deoxygenation under radical conditions. Complete assignment of all (1)H and (13)C resonances in the spectra of these deoxytrehaloses was achieved through the extensive use of 2D [(1)H,(1)H] and [(1)H,(13)C] correlation NMR experiments. The synthesis of these trehalose analogs sets the stage for future biochemical and NMR-based studies to probe the substrate interactions of trehalose with the recently identified mycobacterial sulfotransferase Stf0.

Synthesis of fluorescent analogs of alpha-conotoxin MII.

Project description:Alpha-conotoxins (alpha-CTxs) are small peptides that are competitive inhibitors of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and have been used to study the kinetics of nAChRs. Alpha-CTx MII, from the venom of Conus magus, has been shown to potently block both rat alpha3beta2 and rat chimeric alpha6/alpha3beta2beta3 cloned nAChRs expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Tetramethylrhodamine (TMR), Bodipy FL, Alexa Fluor 488, and terbium chelates (TbCh) are fluorescent molecules that can be reacted with the N-terminus of the conopeptide to produce fluorescent conjugates. TMR and Bodipy FL were individually conjugated to alpha-CTx MII using different succinimidyl ester amine labeling reactions resulting in the formation of carboxamide conjugates. Alexa Fluor 488 succinimidyl ester conjugation reaction yielded low amounts of conjugate. TbCh was also individually reacted with the N-terminus of MII using the isothiocyanate conjugation reaction resulting in the formation of a thiourea conjugate. The conjugates were purified using reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and their masses verified by matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization with time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF MS). When tested on target nAChRs expressed in Xenopus oocytes, TMR-MII, Bodipy FL-MII, and TbCh-MII potently blocked the response to acetylcholine with slow off-rate kinetics. These fluorescent conjugates can be used to localize specific subtypes of neuronal nAChRs or ligand-binding sites within receptors in various tissue preparations; additionally, they may also be used to study conformational changes in receptors using fluorescence or lanthanide-based resonance energy transfer.

6,6'-Aryl trehalose analogs as potential Mincle ligands.

Project description:6,6'-Aryl trehalose derivatives have been synthesized with a view towards identifying novel Th-17-inducing vaccine adjuvants based on the high affinity Mincle ligand Brartemicin. The initial structure-activity relationships of these novel trehalose-based compounds were investigated. All compounds have been evaluated for their ability to engage the Mincle receptor and induce a potential pro-Th17 cytokine profile from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells based on IL-6 production in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The preliminary biological characterization of the designed analogs presented in this paper should aid in the future design and testing of more affine ligands that may foster the discovery of novel adjuvants with improved pharmacological properties.

Design, Synthesis, and Antitumor Evaluation of Novel Mono-Carbonyl Curcumin Analogs in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell.

Project description:Curcumin is a polyphenolic natural product that has promising anticancer properties. However, its clinical utility is limited by its chemical instability and poor metabolic properties. In this paper, a series of new curcumin analogs were synthesized and found to be potent antiproliferative agents against the HepG2 cell line by MTT assay. In general, Group B with single ketone and group C with chalcone were markedly more cytotoxic than group A with diketone. Compound B5 was found as the most potent analog (IC50 = 11.33 μM) compared to curcumin (IC50 = 32.83 μM) and the mechanism of its cytotoxicity was investigated. The result of the wound healing assay indicated B5 strong potential to suppress HepG2 cell migration in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Subsequent assays (including JC-1 staining, Bcl-2, and caspase 3 protein levels by Western blotting) confirmed that B5 exposure induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Curcumin-induced comprehensive transcriptomes profile, Western blotting, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics analysis showed that the mechanism may relate to the regulation of cellular metabolic process and the expression of AKT protein. Taken together, we could conclude that curcumin and its analogs induced HepG2 cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis via AKT signaling pathway and the mitochondrial death pathway. This study could lay the foundation for optimizing curcumin and provide valuable information for finding novel anti-HCC drugs.

Efficient synthesis of α-galactosylceramide and its C-6 modified analogs.

Project description:The synthesis of α-galactosylceramide (KRN7000) and its C-6 modified analogs remains a challenge due to the difficult α-1,2-cis-glycosidic bond. A non-participating benzyl (Bn) protecting group has been commonly used to favor the α-glycosylation product. Here, we report the α-selective glycosylation by using a bulky 4,6-O-di-tert-butylsilylene (DTBS) galactosyl donor, regardless of the 2-benzoyl (Bz) participating group. Compared with Bn, Bz groups can be selectively removed in basic conditions without impacting the C-6 azide modification. The azide has the potential for clicking with alkyne or being easily transformed to other functional groups.

Uptake of unnatural trehalose analogs as a reporter for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Project description:The detection of tuberculosis currently relies upon insensitive and unspecific techniques; newer diagnostics would ideally co-opt specific bacterial processes to provide real-time readouts. The trehalose mycolyltransesterase enzymes (antigens 85A, 85B and 85C (Ag85A, Ag85B, Ag85C)) serve as essential mediators of cell envelope function and biogenesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Through the construction of a systematically varied sugar library, we show here that Ag85 enzymes have exceptionally broad substrate specificity. This allowed exogenously added synthetic probes to be specifically incorporated into M. tuberculosis growing in vitro and within macrophages. Even bulky substituents, such as a fluorescein-containing trehalose probe (FITC-trehalose), were incorporated by growing bacilli, thereby producing fluorescent bacteria; microscopy revealed selective labeling of poles and membrane. Addition of FITC-trehalose to M. tuberculosis-infected macrophages allowed selective, sensitive detection of M. tuberculosis within infected mammalian macrophages. These studies suggest that analogs of trehalose may prove useful as probes of function and for other imaging modalities.

A method for the synthesis of unsymmetric bisphosphoric analogs of α-amino acids.

Project description:Herein, we describe the first universal strategy for the synthesis of unsymmetric phosphonyl-phosphinyl and phosphonyl-phosphinoyl analogs of N-protected 1-aminobisphosphonates. The proposed user-friendly procedure, based on a one-pot reaction of the α-ethoxy derivatives of phosphorus analogs of protein and non-protein α-amino acids with triphenylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate and an appropriate phosphorus nucleophile (diethyl phenylphosphonite or methyl diphenylphosphinite), provides good to very good yields of 53-91% under mild catalyst-free conditions (temperature: rt to 40 °C, time: 1 to 6 hours). The progress of the transformation, running through the corresponding phosphonium salt as a reactive intermediate, was monitored by 31P NMR spectroscopy, which is a convenient tool for the identification of the transient species formed here. In this paper, we present the full characteristics of the spectroscopic properties of all 13 synthesized models of structurally diverse N-protected unsymmetric bisphosphoric analogs of α-amino acids. Therefore, these results contribute to increasing the practical applicability of our recently reported synthesis protocol of symmetric models of α-aminobisphosphonates derivatives and thus justify its universality.

Phosphonoxins III: synthesis of α-aminophosphonate analogs of antifungal polyoxins with anti-Giardia activity.

Project description:A synthesis of α-aminophosphonate analogs of polyoxins, termed phosphonoxin C1, C2, and C3, has been achieved. The key step was the addition of lithium dimethyl phosphite to the aldehyde of a protected threose derivative. α-Hydroxyphosphonate analogs C4 and C5 were also obtained by taking advantage of an unprecedented conversion of an azide to hydroxyl during treatment with hydrogen on palladium on carbon. The resulting phosphonoxin C5 inhibited the growth of an intestinal protozoan, Giardia lamblia, at low micromolar concentration.

Synthesis of Benzylidene Analogs of Oleanolic Acid as Potential <i>α</i>-Glucosidase and <i>α</i>-Amylase Inhibitors.

Project description:A series of benzylidene analogs of oleanolic acid 4a∼4s were synthesized and assessed for their α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activities. The results presented that all synthesized analogs exhibited excellent-to-moderate inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and α-amylase. Analog 4i showed the highest α-glucosidase inhibition (IC50: 0.40 μM), and analog 4o presented the strongest α-amylase inhibition (IC50: 9.59 μM). Inhibition kinetics results showed that analogs 4i and 4o were reversible and mixed-type inhibitors against α-glucosidase and α-amylase, respectively. Simulation docking results demonstrated the interaction between analogs and two enzymes. Moreover, analogs 4i and 4o showed a high level of safety against 3T3-L1 and HepG2 cells.

Synthesis of 4'-Substituted-2'-Deoxy-2'-α-Fluoro Nucleoside Analogs as Potential Antiviral Agents.

Project description:Nucleoside analogs are widely used for the treatment of viral diseases (Hepatitis B/C, herpes and human immunodeficiency virus, HIV) and various malignancies. ALS-8176, a prodrug of the 4'-chloromethyl-2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro nucleoside ALS-8112, was evaluated in hospitalized infants for the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), but was abandoned for unclear reasons. Based on the structure of ALS-8112, a series of novel 4'-modified-2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro nucleosides were synthesized. Newly prepared compounds were evaluated against RSV, but also against a panel of RNA viruses, including Dengue, West Nile, Chikungunya, and Zika viruses. Unfortunately, none of the compounds showed marked antiviral activity against these viruses.

Short-Distance Intermolecular Correlations of Mono- and Disaccharides in Condensed Solutions: Bulky Character of Trehalose.

Project description:Organisms with tolerance to extreme environmental conditions (cryptobiosis) such as desiccation and freezing are known to accumulate stress proteins and/or sugars. Trehalose, a disaccharide, has received considerable attention in the context of cryptobiosis. It has already been shown to have the highest glass-transition temperature and different hydration properties from other mono- and disaccharides. In spite of the importance of understanding cryptobiosis by experimentally clarifying sugar-sugar interactions such as the clustering in concentrated sugar solutions, there is little direct experimental evidence of sugar solution structures formed by intermolecular interactions and/or correlation. Using a wide-angle X-ray scattering method with the real-space resolution from ?3 to 120 Å, we clarified the characteristics of the structures of sugar solutions (glucose, fructose, mannose, sucrose, and trehalose), over a wide concentration range of 0.05-0.65 g/mL. At low concentrations, the second virial coefficients obtained indicated the repulsive intermolecular interactions for all sugars and also the differences among them depending on the type of sugar. In spite of the presence of such repulsive force, a short-range intermolecular correlation was found to appear at high concentrations for every sugar. The concentration dependence of the observed scattering data and p(r) functions clearly showed that trehalose prefers a more disordered arrangement in solution compared to other sugars, that is, bulky arrangement. The present findings will afford a new insight into the molecular mechanism of the protective functions of the sugars relevant to cryptobiosis, particularly that of trehalose.
