Stereoselective formation of a functionalized dipeptide isostere by zinc carbenoid-mediated chain extension.

ABSTRACT: The application of a zinc carbenoid-mediated chain-extension reaction to a functionalized peptide isostere is reported. The cleavage site of human CVM protease was utilized as a target for testing the synthetic methodology. The utility of this chain-extension reaction is demonstrated in the preparation of an amino acid-derived alpha-unsubstituted gamma-keto ester, which is incorporated into a framework that mimics a tetrapeptide. The identification of a suitable protecting group strategy facilitated the application of a tandem reaction for the incorporation of an alpha-side chain, and the use of an oxazolidinone auxiliary provided excellent diastereocontrol in a tandem chain-extension-aldol reaction. Stereoselectivity of the tandem chain-extension-aldol reaction was determined through application of a CAN-mediated oxidative cleavage reaction.

Synthesis of a Chloroalkene Dipeptide Isostere-Containing Peptidomimetic and Its Biological Application.

Project description:The first rapid and efficient chemical synthesis of a cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide containing a chloroalkene dipeptide isostere (CADI) is reported. By a developed synthetic method, an N-tert-butylsulfonyl protected CADI was obtained utilizing diastereoselective allylic alkylation as a key reaction. This CADI was also transformed into an N-Fmoc protected CADI in a few steps. The CADI was used in Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis. The first synthesis of a CADI-containing cyclic RGD peptide was successful, and the synthesized CADI-containing peptidomimetic was found to be a more potent inhibitor against integrin-mediated cell attachment than the parent cyclic peptide.

UV induced reversible chain extension of 1-(2-anthryl)-1-phenylethylene functionalized polyisobutylene.

Project description:The synthesis of novel 1-(2-anthryl)-1-phenylethylene (APE) di-telechelic polyisobutylenes is described. Utilization of a difunctional cationic initiator and the in situ addition of the non-homopolymerizable APE lead to the formation of di-anthryl telechelic polyisobutylenes. Products were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy and Size Exclusion Chromatography. The polymers were UV irradiated at 365 and 254 nm and the reversible photocycloaddition of anthryl moieties was investigated. The chain extension of di-anthryl telechelic PIBs through photocoupling at 365 nm produced higher molecular weight products from low molecular weight precursors. The effect of precursor polymer concentration on the degree of chain extension was investigated, and intermolecular interactions leading to the formation of tetramers was observed. The photocoupled products were UV irradiated at 254 nm to induce the reversal of photocycloaddition of anthryl groups and to follow the consequent photoscission of polymers.

Site-Selective and Stereoselective O-Alkylation of Glycosides by Rh(II)-Catalyzed Carbenoid Insertion.

Project description:Carbohydrates are synthetically challenging molecules with vital biological roles in all living systems. Selective synthesis and functionalization of carbohydrates provide tremendous opportunities to improve our understanding on the biological functions of this fundamentally important class of molecules. However, selective functionalization of seemingly identical hydroxyl groups in carbohydrates remains a long-standing challenge in chemical synthesis. We herein describe a practical and predictable method for the site-selective and stereoselective alkylation of carbohydrate hydroxyl groups via Rh(II)-catalyzed insertion of metal carbenoid intermediates. This represents one of the mildest alkylation methods for the systematic modification of carbohydrates. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the site selectivity is determined in the Rh(II)-carbenoid insertion step, which prefers insertion into hydroxyl groups with an adjacent axial substituent. The subsequent intramolecular enolate protonation determines the unexpected high stereoselectivity. The most prevalent trans-1,2-diols in various pyranoses can be systematically and predictably differentiated based on the model derived from DFT calculations. We also demonstrated that the selective O-alkylation method could significantly improve the efficiency and stereoselectivity of glycosylation reactions. The alkyl groups introduced to carbohydrates by OH insertion reaction can serve as functional groups, protecting groups, and directing groups.

Structural Analysis of Potent Hybrid HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors Containing Bis-tetrahydrofuran in a Pseudosymmetric Dipeptide Isostere.

Project description:The design, synthesis, and X-ray structural analysis of hybrid HIV-1 protease inhibitors (PIs) containing bis-tetrahydrofuran (bis-THF) in a pseudo-C2-symmetric dipeptide isostere are described. A series of PIs were synthesized by incorporating bis-THF of darunavir on either side of the Phe-Phe isostere of lopinavir in combination with hydrophobic amino acids on the opposite P2/P2' position. Structure-activity relationship studies indicated that the bis-THF moiety can be attached at either the P2 or P2' position without significantly affecting potency. However, the group on the opposite P2/P2' position had a dramatic effect on potency depending on the size and shape of the side chain. Cocrystal structures of inhibitors with wild-type HIV-1 protease revealed that the bis-THF moiety retained similar interactions as observed in the darunavir-protease complex regardless of the position on the Phe-Phe isostere. Analyses of cocrystal structures and molecular dynamics simulations provide insights into optimizing HIV-1 PIs containing bis-THF in non-sulfonamide dipeptide isosteres.

A mechanistic investigation into the zinc carbenoid-mediated homologation reaction by DFT methods: is a classical donor-acceptor cyclopropane intermediate involved?

Project description:An extensive density functional theory (DFT, M05-2X) investigation has been performed on the zinc carbenoid-mediated homologation reaction of ?-keto esters. The mechanistic existence of a classical donor-acceptor cyclopropane intermediate was probed to test the traditional school of thought regarding these systems. Calculations of the carbenoid insertion step, following enolate formation, unmasked two possible pathways. Pathway B was shown to explain the proposed, but spectroscopically unobservable donor-acceptor cyclopropane intermediate, while the second (pathway A) reveals an alternative to the classical intermediate in that a cyclopropane transition state leads to product.

Stereoselective flunoxaprofen-S-acyl-glutathione thioester formation mediated by acyl-CoA formation in rat hepatocytes.

Project description:Flunoxaprofen (FLX) is a chiral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that was withdrawn from clinical use because of concerns of potential hepatotoxicity. FLX undergoes highly stereoselective chiral inversion mediated through the FLX-S-acyl-CoA thioester (FLX-CoA) in favor of the (R)-(-)-isomer. Acyl-CoA thioester derivatives of acidic drugs are chemically reactive species that are known to transacylate protein nucleophiles and glutathione (GSH). In this study, we investigated the relationship between the stereoselective metabolism of (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-FLX to FLX-CoA and the subsequent transacylation of GSH forming FLX-S-acyl-glutathione (FLX-SG) in incubations with rat hepatocytes in suspension. Thus, when hepatocytes (2 million cells/ml) were treated with (R)-(-)- or (S)-(+)-FLX (100 microM), both FLX-CoA and FLX-SG were detected by sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry techniques. However, these derivatives were observed primarily from (R)-(-)-FLX incubation extracts, for which the formation rates of FLX-CoA and FLX-SG were rapid, reaching maximum concentrations of 42 and 2.8 nM, respectively, after 6 min of incubation. Incubations with (S)-(+)-FLX over 60 min displayed 8.1 and 2.7% as much FLX-CoA and FLX-SG area under the concentration versus time curves, respectively, compared with corresponding incubations with (R)-(-)-FLX. Coincubation of lauric acid (1000 microM) with (R)-(-)-FLX (10 microM) led to the complete inhibition of FLX-CoA formation and a 98% inhibition of FLX-SG formation. Reaction of authentic (R,S)-FLX-CoA (2 microM) with GSH (10 mM) in buffer (pH 7.4, 37 degrees C) showed the quantitative formation of FLX-SG after 3 h of incubation. Together, these results demonstrate the stereoselective transacylation of GSH in hepatocyte incubations containing (R)-(-)-FLX, which is consistent with bioactivation by stereoselective (R)-FLX-CoA formation.

One-pot synthesis of highly functionalized pyridines via a rhodium carbenoid induced ring expansion of isoxazoles.

Project description:A concise one-pot synthesis of highly functionalized pyridines has been developed. The first step in the reaction sequence is the formal insertion of rhodium vinylcarbenoids across the N-O bond of isoxazoles. Upon heating, the insertion products undergo a rearrangement to give 1,4-dihydropyridines. DDQ oxidation then affords the corresponding pyridines in 31-84% yield. The process has proven general with a range of carbenoid and isoxazole components and represents a unique disconnection strategy for the synthesis of functionalized pyridines.

Chain-end-functionalized polyphosphazenes via a one-pot phosphine-mediated living polymerization.

Project description:A simple polymerization of trichlorophosphoranimine (Cl3 P = N-SiMe3 ) mediated by functionalized triphenylphosphines is presented. In situ initiator formation and the subsequent polymerization progress are investigated by (31) P NMR spectroscopy, demonstrating a living cationic polymerization mechanism. The polymer chain lengths and molecular weights of the resulting substituted poly(organo)phosphazenes are further studied by (1) H NMR spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography. This strategy facilitates the preparation of polyphosphazenes with controlled molecular weights and specific functional groups at the α-chain end. Such well-defined, mono-end-functionalized polymers have great potential use in bioconjugation, surface modification, and as building blocks for complex macromolecular constructs.
