Triostin A derived hybrid for simultaneous DNA binding and metal coordination.

ABSTRACT: The natural product triostin A is known as an antibiotic based on specific DNA recognition. Structurally, a bicyclic depsipeptide backbone provides a well-defined scaffold preorganizing the recognition motifs for bisintercalation. Replacing the intercalating quinoxaline moieties of triostin A by nucleobases results in a potential major groove binder. The functionalization of this DNA binding triostin A analog with a metal binding ligand system is reported, thereby generating a hybrid molecule with DNA binding and metal coordinating capability. Transition metal ions can be placed in close proximity to dsDNA by means of non-covalent interactions. The synthesis of the nucleobase-modified triostin A analog is described containing a propargylglycine for later attachment of the ligand by click-chemistry. As ligand, two [1,4,7]triazacyclononane rings were bridged by a phenol. Formation of the proposed binuclear zinc complex was confirmed for the ligand and the triostin A analog/ligand construct by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The complex as well as the respective hybrid led to stabilization of dsDNA, thus implying that metal complexation and DNA binding are independent processes.

Tunable Helicity, Stability and DNA-Binding Properties of Short Peptides with Hybrid Metal Coordination Motifs.

Project description:Given the prevalent role of α-helical motifs on protein surfaces in mediating protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions, there have been significant efforts to develop strategies to induce α-helicity in short, unstructured peptides to interrogate such interactions. Toward this goal, we have recently introduced hybrid metal coordination motifs (HCMs). HCMs combine a natural metal-binding amino acid side chain with a synthetic chelating group that are appropriately positioned in a peptide sequence to stabilize an α-helical conformation upon metal coordination. Here, we present a series of short peptides modified with HCMs consisting of a His and a phenanthroline group at i and i+7 positions that can induce α-helicity in a metal-tunable fashion as well as direct the formation of discrete dimeric architectures for recognition of biological targets. We show that the induction of α-helicity can be further modulated by secondary sphere interactions between amino acids at the i+4 position and the HCM. A frequently cited drawback of the use of peptides as therapeutics is their propensity to be quickly digested by proteases; here, we observe an enhancement of up to ∼100-fold in the half-lifes of the metal-bound HCM-peptides in the presence of trypsin. Finally, we show that an HCM-bearing peptide sequence, which contains the DNA-recognition domain of a bZIP protein but is devoid of the obligate dimerization domain, can dimerize with the proper geometry and in an α-helical conformation to bind a cognate DNA sequence with high affinities (Kd≥ 65 nM), again in a metal-tunable manner.

Effect of heterocycle content on metal binding isostere coordination.

Project description:Bioisostere replacement is a core concept in modern medicinal chemistry and has proven an invaluable strategy to address pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic limitations of therapeutics. The success of bioisostere replacement is often dependent on the scaffold that is being modified (i.e., "context dependence"). The application of bioisostere replacement to a picolinic acid fragment was recently demonstrated as a means to expand a library of metal-binding pharmacophores (MBPs) to modulate their physicochemical properties, while retaining their metal binding and metalloenzyme inhibitory activity. Here, metal binding isosteres (MBIs) with different nitrogen-containing heteroarenes is explored. This resulted in a number of new MBIs that were evaluated for their physicochemical properties and metal binding features. It was observed that the coordination behavior of an MBI is dependent on the identity and arrangement of the heteroatoms within each heteroarene. To further understand the observed coordination chemistry trends, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed. Theory indicates that preferences in coordination geometry are largely determined by the electronic character of the heteroarene scaffold. These results provide important insights into the development of novel MBI scaffolds that can serve to broaden the scope of scaffolds for metalloenzyme inhibitor development.

Heteroleptic Coordination Environments in Metal-Mediated DNA G-Quadruplexes.

Project description:The presence of metal centers with often highly conserved coordination environments is crucial for roughly half of all proteins, having structural, regulatory, or enzymatic function. To understand and mimic the function of metallo-enzymes, bioinorganic chemists pursue the challenge of synthesizing model compounds with well-defined, often heteroleptic metal sites. Recently, we reported the design of tailored homoleptic coordination environments for various transition metal cations based on unimolecular DNA G-quadruplex structures, templating the regioselective positioning of imidazole ligandosides L I . Here, we expand this modular system to more complex, heteroleptic coordination environments by combining L I with a new benzoate ligandoside L B within the same oligonucleotide. The modifications still allow the correct folding of parallel tetramolecular and antiparallel unimolecular G-quadruplexes. Interestingly, the incorporation of L B results in strong destabilization expressed in lower thermal denaturation temperatures T m . While no transition metal cations could be bound by G-quadruplexes containing only L B , heteroleptic derivatives containing both L I and L B were found to complex CuII, NiII, and ZnII. Especially in case of CuII we found strong stabilizations of up to ΔT m = +34°C. The here shown system represents an important step toward the design of more complex coordination environments inside DNA scaffolds, promising to culminate in the preparation of functional metallo-DNAzymes.

Toward Coordination Cages with Hybrid Chirality: Amino Acid-Induced Chirality on Metal Centers.

Project description:Tripodal chiral ligands containing amino acid residues and salicyl-acylhydrazone units were synthesized and used to obtain coordination cages through deprotonation and coordination to gallium. These coordination cages have Ga3L2 stoichiometry and pinwheel geometry with two types of chiral centers built into their walls: stereogenic centers at the amino acid backbones and stereoselectively induced centers at metal ions. The pinwheel geometry is unique among analogous cages and originates from the partial flexibility of the ligands. Despite the flexibility, the ligands induce the chirality of metal centers in a highly stereoselective way, leading to the formation of cages that are single diastereoisomers. It has also been demonstrated that stereoselectivity is a unique feature of cage geometry and leads to effective chiral self-sorting: homochiral cages can be obtained selectively from the mixtures of racemic ligands. The configuration of metal centers was determined by circular dichroism, TD DFT calculation, and X-ray crystallography.

Substituent Effects on the Coordination Chemistry of Metal-Binding Pharmacophores.

Project description:A combination of XAS, UV-vis, NMR, and EPR was used to examine the binding of a series of α-hydroxythiones to CoCA. All three appear to bind preferentially in their neutral, protonated forms. Two of the three clearly bind in a monodentate fashion, through the thione sulfur alone. Thiomaltol (TM) appears to show some orientational preference, on the basis of the NMR, while it appears that thiopyromeconic acid (TPMA) retains rotational freedom. In contrast, allothiomaltol (ATM), after initially binding in its neutral form, presumably through the thione sulfur, forms a final complex that is five-coordinate via bidentate coordination of ATM. On the basis of optical titrations, we speculate that this may be due to the lower initial pKa of ATM (8.3) relative to those of TM (9.0) and TPMA (9.5). Binding through the thione is shown to reduce the hydroxyl pKa by ∼0.7 pH unit on metal binding, bringing only ATM's pKa close to the pH of the experiment, facilitating deprotonation and subsequent coordination of the hydroxyl. The data predict the presence of a solvent-exchangeable proton on TM and TPMA, and Q-band 2-pulse ESEEM experiments on CoCA + TM suggest that the proton is present. ESE-detected EPR also showed a surprising frequency dependence, giving only a subset of the expected resonances at X-band.

Effect of donor atom identity on metal-binding pharmacophore coordination.

Project description:The inhibition and binding of three metal-binding pharmacophores (MBPs), 2-hydroxycyclohepta-2,4,6-trien-1-one (tropolone), 2-mercaptopyridine-N-oxide (1,2-HOPTO), and 2-hydroxycyclohepta-2,4,6-triene-1-thione (thiotropolone) to human carbonic anhydrase II (hCAII) and a mutant protein hCAII L198G were investigated. These MBPs displayed bidentate coordination to the active site Zn(II) metal ion, but the MBPs respond to the mutation of L198G differently, as characterized by inhibition activity assays and X-ray crystallography. The L198G mutation increases the active site volume thereby decreasing the steric pressure exerted on MBPs upon binding, allowing changes in MBP coordination to be observed. When comparing the binding mode of tropolone to thiotropolone or 1,2-HOPTO (O,O versus O,S donor sets), structural modifications of the hCAII active site were shown to have a stronger effect on MBPs with an O,O versus O,S donor set. These findings were corroborated with density functional theory (DFT) calculations of model coordination complexes. These results suggest that the MBP binding geometry is a malleable interaction, particularly for certain ligands, and that the identity of the donor atoms influences the response of the ligand to changes in the protein active site environment. Understanding underlying interactions between a MBP and a metalloenzyme active site may aid in the design and development of potent metalloenzyme inhibitors.

Bimetallic Metal-Organic Framework Derived Metal-Carbon Hybrid for Efficient Reversible Oxygen Electrocatalysis.

Project description:Development of cost-effective electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is key to enabling advanced electrochemical energy conversion technologies. Here, a novel nitrogen-doped metal-carbon hybrid (NiCo/CN) with a unique 3D hierarchical structure, consisting of uniformly distributed bimetallic nanoparticles encapsulated by partially graphitized N-doped carbon shells, is fabricated by a one-step pyrolysis of a nanoscale metal-organic framework as precursor, which exhibits excellent activity for both ORR and OER. The surface chemical changes on the carbon hybrid probed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveal the presence of favorable electronic interaction at the metal-nitrogen-carbon interface. Remarkably, the NiCo/CN catalyst prepared at high temperature (800°C) manifests a comparable performance to a commercial Pt/C catalyst for the ORR, but also superior stability, path selectivity and methanol tolerance. On the other hand, the E onset (1.48 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode) and E j = 10 mA/cm 2 of NiCo/CN-800 for OER is very close to the state-of-the-art noble catalyst RuO2 (Eonset = 1.46 and E j = 10 mA/cm 2 ) along with superior stability over 20 h of operation. The excellent catalytic property is attributable to the unique nanostructure, high porosity and the constructive synergistic effects of the elements M, N, and C.

Tailored Transition-Metal Coordination Environments in Imidazole-Modified DNA G-Quadruplexes.

Project description:Two types of imidazole ligands were introduced both at the end of tetramolecular and into the loop region of unimolecular DNA G-quadruplexes. The modified oligonucleotides were shown to complex a range of different transition-metal cations including NiII , CuII , ZnII and CoII , as indicated by UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy and ion mobility mass spectrometry. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to obtain structural insight into the investigated systems. Variation of ligand number and position in the loop region of unimolecular sequences derived from the human telomer region (htel) allows for a controlled design of distinct coordination environments with fine-tuned metal affinities. It is shown that CuII , which is typically square-planar coordinated, has a higher affinity for systems offering four ligands, whereas NiII prefers G-quadruplexes with six ligands. Likewise, the positioning of ligands in a square-planar versus tetrahedral fashion affects binding affinities of CuII and ZnII cations, respectively. Gaining control over ligand arrangement patterns will spur the rational development of transition-metal-modified DNAzymes. Furthermore, this method is suited to combine different types of ligands, for example, those typically found in metalloenzymes, inside a single DNA architecture.

A hybrid blue perovskite@metal-organic gel (MOG) nanocomposite: simultaneous improvement of luminescence and stability.

Project description:Blue light-emitting hybrid perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are promising candidates for optoelectronic applications. However, these NCs suffer severely from low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and inferior stability under working conditions. Herein, we report, for the first time, a simultaneous dramatic improvement in both the luminescence and the stability of hybrid perovskite NCs through embedding in a porous metal-organic gel (MOG) matrix. The nanocomposite (EAPbBr3@MOG, EA: ethylammonium) shows sharp emission in the intense blue region (? max < 440 nm), with a substantial ten-fold enhancement in the PLQY (?53%) compared with EAPbBr3 NCs (PLQY ?5%). Incorporation of perovskite NCs into the soft MOG matrix provides the additional benefits of flexibility as well as water stability. As a proof of principle, these nanocomposites were further utilized to fabricate a white light-emitting diode. The combination of high brightness, stability and flexibility of these nanocomposites could render them viable contenders in the development of efficient, blue light-emitting diodes for practical applications.

Binding optimization through coordination chemistry: CXCR4 chemokine receptor antagonists from ultrarigid metal complexes.

Project description:A new copper(II) containing bis-macrocyclic CXCR4 chemokine receptor antagonist is shown to have improved binding properties to the receptor protein in comparison to the drug AMD3100 (Plerixafor, Mozobil). The interaction of the metallodrug has been optimized by using ultrarigid chelator units that offer an equatorial site for coordination to the amino acid side chains of the protein. Binding competition assays with anti-CXCR4 antibodies show that the new compound stays bound longer and it has improved anti-HIV potency in vitro (EC(50) = 4.3 nM). X-ray structural studies using acetate as a model for carboxylate amino acid side chains indicate the nature of the coordination interaction.
