Efficient, enantioselective assembly of silanediol protease inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: A five-step assembly of silicon-protected dipeptide mimics from commercially available reagents is described. This methodology makes silanediol protease inhibitors readily available for the first time. The sequence features asymmetric hydrosilylation, a novel reduction of a silyl ether to a silyllithium reagent, and addition of this dianion to a sulfinimine, to produce the complete inhibitor skeleton with full control of stereochemistry. Oxidation of the primary alcohol to an acid completes the synthesis.

Silanediol Anion Binding and Enantioselective Catalysis.

Project description:Silanediols possess unique and complementary catalytic activity in reactions that are likely to proceed through anion binding. This article directly compares silanediols, thioureas, and squaramides in three separate anion-binding processes. The catalytic abilities of select members of each family are directly correlated to association constant.

Serine protease inhibition by a silanediol peptidomimetic.

Project description:Silanediol peptidomimetics are demonstrated to inhibit a serine protease. Asymmetric synthesis of the inhibitor was accomplished using Brown hydroboration and CBS reduction of an acylsilane intermediate. The silanediol product was found to inhibit the serine protease chymotrypsin with a K(i) of 107 nM. Inhibition of the enzyme may involve exchange of a silane hydroxyl with the active site serine nucleophile, contrasting with previous silanediol protease inhibitors.

Enantioselective Catalyst Systems from Copper(II) Triflate and BINOL-Silanediol.

Project description:Silanediol and copper catalysis are merged, for the first time, to create an enhanced Lewis acid catalyst system for enantioselective heterocycle functionalization. The promise of this silanediol and copper catalyst combination is demonstrated in the enantioselective addition of indoles to alkylidene malonates to give rise to the desirable adducts in excellent yield and high enantiomeric excess. From these studies, 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL)-based silanediols emerge as one-of-a-kind cocatalysts. Their potential role in the reaction pathway is also discussed.

Efficient Strategy to Design Protease Inhibitors: Application to Enterovirus 71 2A Protease.

Project description:One strategy to counter viruses that persistently cause outbreaks is to design molecules that can specifically inhibit an essential multifunctional viral protease. Herein, we present such a strategy using well-established methods to first identify a region present only in viral (but not human) proteases and find peptides that can bind specifically to this "unique" region by maximizing the protease-peptide binding free energy iteratively using single-point mutations starting with the substrate peptide. We applied this strategy to discover pseudosubstrate peptide inhibitors for the multifunctional 2A protease of enterovirus 71 (EV71), a key causative pathogen for hand-foot-and-mouth disease affecting young children, along with coxsackievirus A16. Four peptide candidates predicted to bind EV71 2A protease more tightly than the natural substrate were experimentally validated and found to inhibit protease activity. Furthermore, the crystal structure of the best pseudosubstrate peptide bound to the EV71 2A protease was determined to provide a molecular basis for the observed inhibition. Since the 2A proteases of EV71 and coxsackievirus A16 share nearly identical sequences and structures, our pseudosubstrate peptide inhibitor may prove useful in inhibiting the two key pathogens of hand-foot-and-mouth disease.

Enantioselective Synthesis of Dioxatriquinane Structural Motifs for HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors Using a Cascade Radical Cyclization.

Project description:Synthesis of novel HIV-1 protease inhibitors incorporating dioxatriquinane-derived P2-ligands is described. The tricyclic ligand alcohol contains five contiguous chiral centers. The ligand alcohols were prepared in optically active form by an enzymatic asymmetrization of mesodiacetate, cascade radical cyclization, and Lewis acid catalyzed reduction as the key steps. Inhibitors with dioxatriquinane-derived P2-ligands exhibited low nanomolar HIV-1 protease activity.

An enantioselective enzymatic desymmetrization route to hexahydro-4H-furopyranol, a high-affinity ligand for HIV-1 protease inhibitors.

Project description:An enantioselective synthesis of (3aS,4S,7aR)-hexahydro-4H-furo[2,3-b]pyran-4-ol, a high-affinity nonpeptide ligand for a variety of potent HIV-1 protease inhibitors is described. The key steps involved a highly enantioselective enzymatic desymmetrization of meso-diacetate, an efficient transacetalization, and a highly diastereoselective reduction of a ketone. This route is amenable to large-scale synthesis using readily available starting materials.

Irreversible inhibitors of the 3C protease of Coxsackie virus through templated assembly of protein-binding fragments.

Project description:Small-molecule fragments binding to biomacromolecules can be starting points for the development of drugs, but are often difficult to detect due to low affinities. Here we present a strategy that identifies protein-binding fragments through their potential to induce the target-guided formation of covalently bound, irreversible enzyme inhibitors. A protein-binding nucleophile reacts reversibly with a bis-electrophilic warhead, thereby positioning the second electrophile in close proximity of the active site of a viral protease, resulting in the covalent de-activation of the enzyme. The concept is implemented for Coxsackie virus B3 3C protease, a pharmacological target against enteroviral infections. Using an aldehyde-epoxide as bis-electrophile, active fragment combinations are validated through measuring the protein inactivation rate and by detecting covalent protein modification in mass spectrometry. The structure of one enzyme-inhibitor complex is determined by X-ray crystallography. The presented warhead activation assay provides potent non-peptidic, broad-spectrum inhibitors of enteroviral proteases.

The Catalytic Activity of the Ubp3 Deubiquitinating Protease Is Required for Efficient Stress Granule Assembly in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:The interior of the eukaryotic cell is a highly compartmentalized space containing both membrane-bound organelles and the recently identified nonmembranous ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules. This study examines in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the assembly of one conserved type of the latter compartment, known as the stress granule. Stress granules form in response to particular environmental cues and have been linked to a variety of human diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. To further our understanding of these structures, a candidate genetic screen was employed to identify regulators of stress granule assembly in quiescent cells. These studies identified a ubiquitin-specific protease, Ubp3, as having an essential role in the assembly of these RNP granules. This function was not shared by other members of the Ubp protease family and required Ubp3 catalytic activity as well as its interaction with the cofactor Bre5. Interestingly, the loss of stress granules was correlated with a decrease in the long-term survival of stationary-phase cells. This phenotype is similar to that observed in mutants defective for the formation of a related RNP complex, the Processing body. Altogether, these observations raise the interesting possibility of a general role for these types of cytoplasmic RNP granules in the survival of G0-like resting cells.

Efficient Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1b Core-NS5A Recombinants Permit Efficacy Testing of Protease and NS5A Inhibitors.

Project description:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) strains belong to seven genotypes with numerous subtypes that respond differently to antiviral therapies. Genotype 1, and primarily subtype 1b, is the most prevalent genotype worldwide. The development of recombinant HCV infectious cell culture systems for different variants, permitted by the high replication capacity of strain JFH1 (genotype 2a), has advanced efficacy and resistance testing of antivirals. However, efficient infectious JFH1-based cell cultures of subtype 1b are limited and comprise only the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR)-NS2, NS4A, or NS5A regions. Importantly, it has not been possible to develop efficient 1b infectious systems expressing the NS3/4A protease, an important target of direct-acting antivirals. We developed efficient infectious JFH1-based cultures with genotype 1b core-NS5A sequences of strains DH1, Con1, and J4 by using previously identified HCV cell culture adaptive substitutions A1226G, R1496L, and Q1773H. These viruses spread efficiently in Huh7.5 cells by acquiring additional adaptive substitutions, and final recombinants yielded peak supernatant infectivity titers of 4 to 5 log10 focus-forming units (FFU)/ml. We subsequently succeeded in adapting a JFH1-based 5'UTR-NS5A DH1 recombinant to efficient growth in cell culture. We evaluated the efficacy of clinically relevant NS3/4A protease and NS5A inhibitors against the novel genotype 1b viruses, as well as against previously developed 1a viruses. The inhibitors were efficient against all tested genotype 1 viruses, with NS5A inhibitors showing half-maximal effective concentrations several orders of magnitude lower than NS3/4A protease inhibitors. In summary, the developed HCV genotype 1b culture systems represent valuable tools for assessing the efficacy of various classes of antivirals and for other virological studies requiring genotype 1b infectious viruses.
