Diversity-oriented approach to pyrrole-imidazole alkaloid frameworks.

ABSTRACT: An exploration of imidazolylpropargyl amides as linchpin synthons for the construction of a diverse array of heterocyclic frameworks, many of which are related to those found in the oroidin derived alkaloids, is described. One such intermediate has been used in a formal total synthesis of cyclooroidin.

Diversity-Oriented Synthesis and Optical Properties of Bichromophoric Pyrrole-Fluorophore Conjugates.

Project description:The mild reaction conditions of the palladium-copper coupling-isomerization reaction open a highly convergent, chromogenic route to blue emissive pyrroles in the sense of a consecutive four-component reaction. By virtue of this strategy a phenol derivative can be readily accessed, which can be transformed in a level-2 transformation to a library of bichromophoric pyrrol-fluorophore conjugates by facile alkylation with fluorophore halides. The photophysics of the underlying blue emitter derivative and the conjugates is studied by absorption and emission spectroscopy, furnishing intramolecular energy transfer at short distances as well as competing fluorescence quenching. In some cases partial energy transfer results in the occurrence of dual emission, for instance seen as magenta-rose emission arising from blue and red orange luminescence. The experimental photophysical studies are rationalized by DFT and TD-DFT calculations.

Antitumor activity of a pyrrole-imidazole polyamide

Project description:We report that a DNA minor groove binding hairpin pyrrole-imidazole (Py-Im) polyamide interferes with RNA polymerase II (RNAP2) activity in cell culture. Genome-wide mapping of RNAP2 binding shows reduction of occupancy preferentially at transcription start sites (TSS), while occupancy at enhancer sites are is unchanged. Genome-wide mapping of RNA polymerase II in LNCaP cells treated with DHT and DHT with Py-Im polyamide.

Solution-phase synthesis of pyrrole-imidazole polyamides.

Project description:Pyrrole-imidazole polyamides are DNA-binding molecules that are programmable for a large repertoire of DNA sequences. Typical syntheses of this class of heterocyclic oligomers rely on solid-phase methods. Solid-phase methodologies offer rapid assembly on a micromole scale sufficient for biophysical characterizations and cell culture studies. In order to produce gram-scale quantities necessary for efficacy studies in animals, polyamides must be readily synthesized in solution. An 8-ring hairpin polyamide 1, which targets the DNA sequence 5'-WGWWCW-3', was chosen for our synthesis studies as this oligomer exhibits androgen receptor antagonism in cell culture models of prostate cancer. A convergent solution-phase synthesis of 1 from a small set of commercially available building blocks is presented which highlights principles for preparing gram quantities of pyrrole-imidazole oligomers with minimal chromatography.

Antitumor activity of a pyrrole-imidazole polyamide.

Project description:Many cancer therapeutics target DNA and exert cytotoxicity through the induction of DNA damage and inhibition of transcription. We report that a DNA minor groove binding hairpin pyrrole-imidazole (Py-Im) polyamide interferes with RNA polymerase II (RNAP2) activity in cell culture. Polyamide treatment activates p53 signaling in LNCaP prostate cancer cells without detectable DNA damage. Genome-wide mapping of RNAP2 binding shows reduction of occupancy, preferentially at transcription start sites, but occupancy at enhancer sites is unchanged. Polyamide treatment results in a time- and dose-dependent depletion of the RNAP2 large subunit RPB1 that is preventable with proteasome inhibition. This polyamide demonstrates antitumor activity in a prostate tumor xenograft model with limited host toxicity.

Two-directional synthesis as a tool for diversity-oriented synthesis: Synthesis of alkaloid scaffolds.

Project description:Two-directional synthesis represents an ideal strategy for the rapid elaboration of simple starting materials and their subsequent transformation into complex molecular architectures. As such, it is becoming recognised as an enabling technology for diversity-oriented synthesis. Herein, we provide a thorough account of our work combining two-directional synthesis with diversity-oriented synthesis, with particular reference to the synthesis of polycyclic alkaloid scaffolds.

Characterization and solubilization of pyrrole-imidazole polyamide aggregates.

Project description:To optimize the biological activity of pyrrole-imidazole polyamide DNA-binding molecules, we characterized the aggregation propensity of these compounds through dynamic light scattering and fractional solubility analysis. Nearly all studied polyamides were found to form measurable particles 50-500 nm in size under biologically relevant conditions, while HPLC-based analyses revealed solubility trends in both core sequences and peripheral substituents that did not correlate with overall ionic charge. The solubility of both hairpin and cyclic polyamides was increased upon addition of carbohydrate solubilizing agents, in particular, 2-hydroxypropyl-?-cyclodextrin (Hp?CD). In mice, the use of Hp?CD allowed for improved injection conditions and subsequent investigations of the availability of polyamides in mouse plasma to human cells. The results of these studies will influence the further design of Py-Im polyamides and facilitate their study in animal models.

Diversity-Oriented Metal Decoration on UiO-Type Metal-Organic Frameworks: an Efficient Approach to Increase CO2 Uptake and Catalytic Conversion to Cyclic Carbonates.

Project description:A library of metallo-bipyridine UiO-type metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been successfully synthesized by postmetallation of a wide range of metal complexes into bidentate bipyridine moieties. Then, a systematic investigation is devoted to a catalytic evaluation of the resultant MOFs containing a binary Lewis acid function for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide (CO2). The result indicated that the metal-grafted MOFs exhibit improvement in terms of CO2 uptake capacity and catalytic activity in comparison with their nonmetallated counterparts. The comprehensive investigation provides a valuable insight into the synergetic effects of MOF functionalities including metal node, grafted metal, and its counterion in the cycloaddition reaction. Furthermore, the metal coordination modulation due to its benefits such as being a solvent-free process, nearly full conversion to cyclic carbonates, high selectivity and high CO2 uptake, applying atmospheric CO2 pressure, and excellent stability and easy recyclability of the catalyst demonstrates them as promising candidates for practical utilization of CO2 conversion into value-added chemicals.

Photocontrolled DNA minor groove interactions of imidazole/pyrrole polyamides.

Project description:Azobenzenes are photoswitchable molecules capable of generating significant structural changes upon E-to-Z photoisomerization in peptides or small molecules, thereby controlling geometry and functionality. E-to-Z photoisomerization usually is achieved upon irradiation at 350 nm (?-?* transition), while the Z-to-E isomerization proceeds photochemically upon irradiation at >400 nm (n-?* transition) or thermally. Photoswitchable compounds have frequently been employed as modules, e.g., to control protein-DNA interactions. However, their use in conjunction with minor groove-binding imidazole/pyrrole (Im/Py) polyamides is yet unprecedented. Dervan-type Im/Py polyamides were equipped with an azobenzene unit, i.e., 3-(3-(aminomethyl)phenyl)azophenylacetic acid, as the linker between two Im/Py polyamide strands. Only the (Z)-azobenzene-containing polyamides bound to the minor groove of double-stranded DNA hairpins. Photoisomerization was exemplarily evaluated by 1H NMR experiments, while minor groove binding of the (Z)-azobenzene derivatives was proven by CD titration experiments. The resulting induced circular dichroism (ICD) bands of the bound ligands, together with the photometric determination of the dsDNA melting temperature, revealed a significant stabilization of the DNA upon association with the ligand. The (Z)-azobenzene acted as a building block inducing a reverse turn, which favored hydrogen bonds between the pyrrole/imidazole amide and the DNA bases. In contrast, the E-configured polyamides did not induce any ICD characteristic for minor groove binding. The incorporation of the photoswitchable azobenzene unit is a promising strategy to obtain photoswitchable Im/Py hairpin polyamides capable of interacting with the dsDNA minor groove only in the Z-configuration.
