Synthesis of conformationally restricted glutamate and glutamine derivatives from carbonylation of orthopalladated phenylglycine derivatives.

ABSTRACT: A new method for the regioselective synthesis of 2-alkoxycarbonyl- and 2-(aminocarbonyl)phenylglycinate methyl esters has been developed. The reaction of the orthopalladated complex [Pd(μ-Cl)(C(6)H(4)(CH(CO(2)Me)NMe(2))-2)](2) (1) with nucleophiles HNu under a CO atmosphere results in the selective incorporation of the C(O)Nu moiety to the phenyl ring and formation of the carbonyl species ortho-C(6)H(4)(C(O)Nu)(CH(CO(2)Me)NMe(2)) (2a-j) (Nu = OR, NHR, NR(2)). Compounds 2a-j are conformationally restricted analogues of glutamic acid and glutamine and are interesting due to their biological and pharmacological properties. The reaction of [Pd(μ-Cl)(C(6)H(4)(CH(CO(2)Me)NHTf)-2)](2) (3) with nucleophiles in a CO atmosphere results, however, in the formation of the cyclic isoindolinone or the open 2-carboxyphenylglycine methyl esters, with the reaction outcome being driven by the choice of the solvent.

Synthesis of 1-deoxysphingosine derivatives with conformationally restricted pyrrolidinediol head groups.

Project description:[structure: see text] A family of cyclic 1-deoxysphingolipid derivatives of structure 4 has been designed and synthesized, which may serve as tumorigenesis suppressors for various cancers. Compound 4 is a second-generation analogue developed from sphingosine (1), in which a hydroxyl substituent is moved from C1 to C5 and a methylene is added for conformational rigidity between the C2-nitrogen substituent and C4. The synthetic chemistry for pyrrolidine ring closure at C3-C4 features ring-closing metathesis followed by hydroboration-oxidation.

Conformationally restricted quinazolone derivatives as PI3Kδ-selective inhibitors: the design, synthesis and biological evaluation.

Project description:A series of structurally novel quinazolone-based PI3Kδ-selective inhibitors were designed and synthesized via the approach of conformational restriction. The majority of them exhibited two-digit to single-digit nanomolar IC50 values against PI3Kδ, along with low micromolar to submicromolar GI50 values against human malignant B-cell line SU-DHL-6. The representative compound, with the most potent PI3Kδ inhibitory activity (IC50 = 6.3 nM) and anti-proliferative activity (GI50 = 0.21 μM) in this series, was further evaluated for its PI3Kδ selectivity, capability to down-regulate PI3K signaling in SU-DHL-6 cells, in vitro metabolic stability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties. The experimental results illustrated that this compound, as a promising lead, merits extensive structural optimization for exploring novel PI3Kδ-selective inhibitors as clinical candidates.

Synthesis of Piperidine Nucleosides as Conformationally Restricted Immucillin Mimics.

Project description:The de novo synthesis of piperidine nucleosides from our homologating agent 5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin is herein reported. The structure and conformation of nucleosides were conceived to faithfully resemble the well-known nucleoside drugs Immucillins H and A in their bioactive conformation. NMR analysis of the synthesized compounds confirmed that they adopt an iminosugar conformation bearing the nucleobases and the hydroxyl groups in the appropriate orientation.

Mechanism of partial agonism at NMDA receptors for a conformationally restricted glutamate analog.

Project description:The NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptor is ubiquitous in mammalian central neurons. Because partial agonists bind to the same site as glutamate but induce less channel activation, these compounds provide an opportunity to probe the mechanism of activation of NMDA-type glutamate receptors. Molecular dynamics simulations and site-directed mutagenesis demonstrate that the partial agonist homoquinolinate interacts differently with binding pocket residues than glutamate. Homoquinolinate and glutamate induce distinct changes in the binding pocket, and the binding pocket exhibits significantly more motion with homoquinolinate bound than with glutamate. Patch-clamp recording demonstrates that single-channel activity induced by glutamate or by homoquinolinate has identical single-channel current amplitude and mean open-channel duration but that homoquinolinate slows activation of channel opening relative to glutamate. We hypothesize that agonist-induced conformational changes in the binding pocket control the efficacy of a subunit-specific activation step that precedes the concerted global change in the receptor-channel complex associated with ion channel opening.

Stereocontrolled Synthesis of α-Xylofuranosides Using a Conformationally Restricted Donor.

Project description:A number of biologically relevant glycoconjugates possess 1,2- cis-furanosidic linkages, a class of glycosidic bond that remains challenging to introduce with high stereoselectivity. In this paper, we report an approach to one family of such linkages, α-xylofuranosides, via the use of thioglycoside donors possessing a conformationally restricting xylylene protecting group. The method was shown to provide the desired targets in good to excellent yield and stereoselectivity. Computational investigations support the proposal that the protecting group locks the electrophilic intermediate in these reactions into a conformation that leads to the high selectivity. The power of the methodology was demonstrated through the synthesis of a complex hexasaccharide motif from lipoarabinomannan, an immunomodulatory polysaccharide from mycobacteria.

Synthesis and SAR of conformationally restricted inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase.

Project description:A series of conformationally restricted inhibitors of human soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has been developed. Inhibition potency of the described compounds ranges from 4.2 microM to 1.1 nM against recombinant sEH. N-(1-Acetylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(adamant-1-yl) urea (5a) was found to be a potent inhibitor (IC(50) = 7.0 nM) that was also orally bioavailable in canines.

Conformationally restricted calpain inhibitors.

Project description:The cysteine protease calpain-I is linked to several diseases and is therefore a valuable target for inhibition. Selective inhibition of calpain-I has proved difficult as most compounds target the active site and inhibit a broad spectrum of cysteine proteases as well as other calpain isoforms. Selective inhibitors might not only be potential drugs but should act as tools to explore the physiological and pathophysiological roles of calpain-I. α-Mercaptoacrylic acid based calpain inhibitors are potent, cell permeable and selective inhibitors of calpain-I and calpain-II. These inhibitors target the calcium binding domain PEF(S) of calpain-I and -II. Here X-ray diffraction analysis of co-crystals of PEF(S) revealed that the disulfide form of an α-mercaptoacrylic acid bound within a hydrophobic groove that is also targeted by a calpastatin inhibitory region and made a greater number of favourable interactions with the protein than the reduced sulfhydryl form. Measurement of the inhibitory potency of the α-mercaptoacrylic acids and X-ray crystallography revealed that the IC50 values decreased significantly on oxidation as a consequence of the stereo-electronic properties of disulfide bonds that restrict rotation around the S-S bond. Consequently, thioether analogues inhibited calpain-I with potencies similar to those of the free sulfhydryl forms of α-mercaptoacrylic acids.

Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of conformationally restricted bicyclic hexahydroisobenzofuran nucleoside analogs.

Project description:A chiral synthesis of a series of hexahydroisobenzofuran (HIBF) nucleosides has been accomplished via glycosylation of a stereo-defined (syn-isomer) sugar motif 16 with the appropriate silylated bases. All nucleoside analogs were obtained in 52-71% yield as a mixture of alpha- and beta-anomeric products increasing the breadth of the novel nucleosides available for screening. The structure of the novel bicyclic HIBF nucleosides was established by a single crystal X-ray structure of the beta-HIBF thymine analog 22b. Furthermore, the sugar conformation for these nucleosides was established as N-type. Among the novel HIBF nucleosides synthesized, twenty-five compounds were tested as inhibitor of HIV-1 in human peripheral blood mononuclear (PBM) cells and seven were found to be active (EC(50) = 12.3-36.2 microM). Six of these compounds were purine analogs with beta-HIBF inosine analog 22o being the most potent (EC(50) = 12.3 microM) among all compounds tested. The striking resemblance between didanosine (ddI) and 22o may explain the potent anti-HIV activity.

Stereoselectivity of Conformationally Restricted Glucosazide Donors.

Project description:Glycosylations of 4,6-tethered glucosazide donors with a panel of model acceptors revealed the effect of acceptor nucleophilicity on the stereoselectivity of these donors. The differences in reactivity among the donors were evaluated in competitive glycosylation reactions, and their relative reactivities were found to be reflected in the stereoselectivity in glycosylations with a set of fluorinated alcohols as well as carbohydrate acceptors. We found that the 2-azido-2-deoxy moiety is more β-directing than its C-2-O-benzyl counterpart, as a consequence of increased destabilization of anomeric charge development by the electron-withdrawing azide. Additional disarming groups further decreased the α-selectivity of the studied donors, whereas substitution of the 4,6-benzylidene acetal with a 4,6-di-tert-butyl silylidene led to a slight increase in α-selectivity. The C-2-dinitropyridone group was also explored as an alternative for the nonparticipating azide group, but this protecting group significantly increased β-selectivity. All studied donors exhibited the same acceptor-dependent selectivity trend, and good α-selectivity could be obtained with the weakest acceptors and most reactive donors.
