Chemoselective protection of alpha-ketoacids by direct annulations with oximes.

ABSTRACT: Oximes and alpha-ketoacids undergo an unexpectedly facile and chemoselective annulation to afford 2,5-dihydrooxazole 3-oxides. The resulting cyclic nitrones serve as chemically and configurationally stable masked alpha-ketoacids that can be easily elaborated and manipulated. Deprotection is achieved by mild reduction with zinc metal and hydrolysis. This methodology allows for the protection, elaboration, and deprotection of enantiopure peptide derived alpha-ketoacids, which are the key starting materials for the chemoselective ketoacid-hydroxylamine peptide ligation.

Structural basis for the potent calpain inhibitory activity of peptidyl alpha-ketoacids.

Project description:A series of peptidyl alpha-ketoacids and alpha-ketoesters was synthesized and studied as mu-calpain inhibitors. Docking studies revealed that the mu-calpain inhibitory activity of the compounds is influenced by hydrogen bonding interactions and the potential for ionic interaction with active site residues as well as placement of a planar N-terminal capping group into the S 3 pocket of the enzyme.

Branched-chain α-ketoacids are preferentially reaminated and activate protein synthesis in the heart.

Project description:Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and their cognate α-ketoacids (BCKA) are elevated in an array of cardiometabolic diseases. Here we demonstrate that the major metabolic fate of uniformly-13C-labeled α-ketoisovalerate ([U-13C]KIV) in the heart is reamination to valine. Activation of cardiac branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) by treatment with the BCKDH kinase inhibitor, BT2, does not impede the strong flux of [U-13C]KIV to valine. Sequestration of BCAA and BCKA away from mitochondrial oxidation is likely due to low levels of expression of the mitochondrial BCAA transporter SLC25A44 in the heart, as its overexpression significantly lowers accumulation of [13C]-labeled valine from [U-13C]KIV. Finally, exposure of perfused hearts to levels of BCKA found in obese rats increases phosphorylation of the translational repressor 4E-BP1 as well as multiple proteins in the MEK-ERK pathway, leading to a doubling of total protein synthesis. These data suggest that elevated BCKA levels found in obesity may contribute to pathologic cardiac hypertrophy via chronic activation of protein synthesis.

Phosphine-Catalyzed Intramolecular Cyclizations of α-Nitroethylallenoates Forming (Z)-Furanone Oximes.

Project description:A novel and efficient phosphine-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of α-nitroethylallenic esters is reported. This process appears to be practical for the stereoselective syntheses of (Z)-furan-2(3H)-one oxime derivatives in excellent yields. Mechanistically, the reaction involves a phosphine-catalyzed Michael addition of an alkylideneazinate and rearrangement of the cyclic nitronate to the α-nitrosodihydrofuran.

Chemoselective α-Sulfidation of Amides Using Sulfoxide Reagents.

Project description:The direct α-sulfidation of tertiary amides using sulfoxide reagents under electrophilic amide activation conditions is described. Employing convenient and readily available reagents, selective functionalization takes place to generate isolable sulfonium ions en route to α-sulfide amides. Mechanistic studies identified activated sulfoxides as promoters of the desired transformation and enabled the extension of the methodology from benzylic to aliphatic amide substrates.

A plausible metal-free ancestral analogue of the Krebs cycle composed entirely of α-ketoacids.

Project description:Efforts to decipher the prebiotic roots of metabolic pathways have focused on recapitulating modern biological transformations, with metals typically serving in place of cofactors and enzymes. Here we show that the reaction of glyoxylate with pyruvate under mild aqueous conditions produces a series of α-ketoacid analogues of the reductive citric acid cycle without the need for metals or enzyme catalysts. The transformations proceed in the same sequence as the reverse Krebs cycle, resembling a protometabolic pathway, with glyoxylate acting as both the carbon source and reducing agent. Furthermore, the α-ketoacid analogues provide a natural route for the synthesis of amino acids by transamination with glycine, paralleling the extant metabolic mechanisms and obviating the need for metal-catalysed abiotic reductive aminations. This emerging sequence of prebiotic reactions could have set the stage for the advent of increasingly sophisticated pathways operating under catalytic control.

Chemoselective Alpha-Deuteration of Amides via Retro-ene Reaction.

Project description:A synthetically convenient approach for the direct α-deuteration of amides is reported. This mechanistically unusual process relies on a retro-ene-type process, triggered by the addition of deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide to a keteniminium intermediate, generated through electrophilic amide activation. The transformation displays broad functional-group tolerance and high deuterium incorporation.

The protective effects of alpha-ketoacids against oxidative stress on rat spermatozoa in vitro.

Project description:The aim of this study was to determine the effects of antioxidants, including alpha-ketoacids (alpha-ketoglutarate and pyruvate), lactate and glutamate/malate combination, against oxidative stress on rat spermatozoa. Our results showed that H(2)O(2) (250 micromol L(-1))-induced damages, such as impaired motility, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion, inhibition of sperm protein phosphorylation, reduced acrosome reaction and decreased viability, could be significantly prevented by incubation of the spermatozoa with alpha-ketoglutarate (4 mmol L(-1)) or pyruvate (4 mmol L(-1)). Without exogenous H(2)O(2) in the medium, the addition of pyruvate (4 mmol L(-1)) significantly increased the superoxide anion (O(2)(-).) level in sperm suspension (P < or = 0.01), whereas the addition of alpha-ketoglutarate (4 mmol L(-1)) and lactate (4 mmol L(-1)) significantly enhanced tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins with the size of 95 kDa (P < or = 0.04). At the same time, alpha-ketoglutarate, pyruvate, lactate, glutamate and malate supplemented in media can be used as important energy sources and supply ATP for sperm motility. In conclusion, the present results show that alpha-ketoacids could be effective antioxidants for protecting rat spermatozoa from H(2)O(2) attack and could be effective components to improve the antioxidant capacity of Biggers, Whitten and Whittingham media.

This method provides good to excellent yields with fully controlled chemoselectivity. Unusually, iminobenzo[b]thiolanes are very stable under mild acidic conditions. A plausible mechanism is proposed for the chemoselective S-arylation process.

Unified Approach to the Chemoselective α-Functionalization of Amides with Heteroatom Nucleophiles.

Project description:Functionalization at the α-position of carbonyl compounds has classically relied on enolate chemistry. As a result, the generation of a new C-X bond, where X is more electronegative than carbon requires an oxidation event. Herein we show that, by rendering the α-position of amides electrophilic through a mild and chemoselective umpolung transformation, a broad range of widely available oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and halogen nucleophiles can be used to generate α-functionalized amides. More than 60 examples are presented to establish the generality of this process, and calculations of the mechanistic aspects underline a fragmentation pathway that accounts for the broadness of this methodology.
