Synthesis of sequence-specific DNA-protein conjugates via a reductive amination strategy.

ABSTRACT: DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are ubiquitous, structurally diverse DNA lesions formed upon exposure to bis-electrophiles, transition metals, UV light, and reactive oxygen species. Because of their superbulky, helix distorting nature, DPCs interfere with DNA replication, transcription, and repair, potentially contributing to mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. However, the biological implications of DPC lesions have not been fully elucidated due to the difficulty in generating site-specific DNA substrates representative of DPC lesions formed in vivo. In the present study, a novel approach involving postsynthetic reductive amination has been developed to prepare a range of hydrolytically stable lesions structurally mimicking the DPCs produced between the N7 position of guanine in DNA and basic lysine or arginine side chains of proteins and peptides.

Asymmetric synthesis of ?-branched amines via rhodium-catalyzed reductive amination.

Project description:Amines bearing ?-stereocenters are highly important structural motifs in many biologically active compounds. However, reported enantioselective syntheses of these molecules are indirect and often require multiple steps. Herein, we report a general asymmetric route for the one-pot synthesis of chiral ?-branched amines through the highly enantioselective isomerization of allylamines, followed by enamine exchange and subsequent chemoselective reduction. This protocol is suitable for establishing various tertiary stereocenters, including those containing dialkyl, diaryl, cyclic, trifluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, and silyl substituents, which allows for a rapid and modular synthesis of many chiral ?-branched amines. To demonstrate the synthetic utility, Terikalant and Tolterodine are synthesized using this method with high levels of enantioselectivity.

Optimized Inhibitors of MDM2 via an Attempted Protein-Templated Reductive Amination.

Project description:Innovative and efficient hit-identification techniques are required to accelerate drug discovery. Protein-templated fragment ligations represent a promising strategy in early drug discovery, enabling the target to assemble and select its binders from a pool of building blocks. Development of new protein-templated reactions to access a larger structural diversity and expansion of the variety of targets to demonstrate the scope of the technique are of prime interest for medicinal chemists. Herein, we present our attempts to use a protein-templated reductive amination to target protein-protein interactions (PPIs), a challenging class of drug targets. We address a flexible pocket, which is difficult to achieve by structure-based drug design. After careful analysis we did not find one of the possible products in the kinetic target-guided synthesis (KTGS) approach, however subsequent synthesis and biochemical evaluation of each library member demonstrated that all the obtained molecules inhibit MDM2. The most potent library member (Ki =0.095 μm) identified is almost as active as Nutlin-3, a potent inhibitor of the p53-MDM2 PPI.

Synthesis of DNA Duplexes Containing Site-Specific Interstrand Cross-Links via Sequential Reductive Amination Reactions Involving Diamine Linkers and Abasic Sites on Complementary Oligodeoxynucleotides.

Project description:Interstrand DNA cross-links are important in biology, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Accordingly, methods for the targeted installation of interstrand cross-links in DNA duplexes may be useful in diverse fields. Here, a simple procedure is reported for the preparation of DNA duplexes containing site-specific, chemically defined interstrand cross-links. The approach involves sequential reductive amination reactions between diamine linkers and two abasic (apurinic/apyrimidinic, AP) sites on complementary oligodeoxynucleotides. Use of the symmetrical triamine, tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, in this reaction sequence enabled the preparation of a cross-linked DNA duplex bearing a derivatizable aminoethyl group.

Site-specific N-alkylation of DNA oligonucleotide nucleobases by DNAzyme-catalyzed reductive amination.

Project description:DNA and RNA nucleobase modifications are biologically relevant and valuable in fundamental biochemical and biophysical investigations of nucleic acids. However, directly introducing site-specific nucleobase modifications into long unprotected oligonucleotides is a substantial challenge. In this study, we used in vitro selection to identify DNAzymes that site-specifically N-alkylate the exocyclic nucleobase amines of particular cytidine, guanosine, and adenosine (C, G and A) nucleotides in DNA substrates, by reductive amination using a 5'-benzaldehyde oligonucleotide as the reaction partner. The new DNAzymes each require one or more of Mg2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+ as metal ion cofactors and have kobs from 0.04 to 0.3 h-1, with rate enhancement as high as ∼104 above the splinted background reaction. Several of the new DNAzymes are catalytically active when an RNA substrate is provided in place of DNA. Similarly, several new DNAzymes function when a small-molecule benzaldehyde compound replaces the 5'-benzaldehyde oligonucleotide. These findings expand the scope of DNAzyme catalysis to include nucleobase N-alkylation by reductive amination. Further development of this new class of DNAzymes is anticipated to facilitate practical covalent modification and labeling of DNA and RNA substrates.

Synthesis of site-specific DNA-protein conjugates and their effects on DNA replication.

Project description:DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are bulky, helix-distorting DNA lesions that form in the genome upon exposure to common antitumor drugs, environmental/occupational toxins, ionizing radiation, and endogenous free-radical-generating systems. As a result of their considerable size and their pronounced effects on DNA-protein interactions, DPCs can interfere with DNA replication, transcription, and repair, potentially leading to mutagenesis, genotoxicity, and cytotoxicity. However, the biological consequences of these ubiquitous lesions are not fully understood due to the difficulty of generating DNA substrates containing structurally defined, site-specific DPCs. In the present study, site-specific cross-links between the two biomolecules were generated by copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] Huisgen cycloaddition (click reaction) between an alkyne group from 5-(octa-1,7-diynyl)-uracil in DNA and an azide group within engineered proteins/polypeptides. The resulting DPC substrates were subjected to in vitro primer extension in the presence of human lesion bypass DNA polymerases ?, ?, ?, and ?. We found that DPC lesions to the green fluorescent protein and a 23-mer peptide completely blocked DNA replication, while the cross-link to a 10-mer peptide was bypassed. These results indicate that the polymerases cannot read through the larger DPC lesions and further suggest that proteolytic degradation may be required to remove the replication block imposed by bulky DPC adducts.

Co-Catalyzed Synthesis of Primary Amines via Reductive Amination employing Hydrogen under very mild Conditions.

Project description:Nanostructured and reusable 3d-metal catalysts that operate with high activity and selectivity in important chemical reactions are highly desirable. Here, a cobalt catalyst was developed for the synthesis of primary amines via reductive amination employing hydrogen as the reducing agent and easy-to-handle ammonia, dissolved in water, as the nitrogen source. The catalyst operates under very mild conditions (1.5 mol% catalyst loading, 50 °C and 10 bar H2 pressure) and outperforms commercially available noble metal catalysts (Pd, Pt, Ru, Rh, Ir). A broad scope and a very good functional group tolerance were observed. The key for the high activity seemed to be the used support: an N-doped amorphous carbon material with small and turbostratically disordered graphitic domains, which is microporous with a bimodal size distribution and with basic NH functionalities in the pores.

Intramolecular asymmetric reductive amination: synthesis of enantioenriched dibenz[c,e]azepines.

Project description:An Ir-catalyzed intramolecular asymmetric reductive amination (ARA) of bridged biaryl derivatives has been described. Using this unprecedented approach, synthetically useful dibenz[c,e]azepines containing both central and axial chiralities are obtained with excellent enantiocontrol (up to 97% ee). This methodology represents a rare example of enantioselective chemocatalytic synthesis of chiral dibenz[c,e]azepines featuring a broad substrate scope, and their synthetic utilities are exhibited by derivatizing the products into a chiral amino acid derivative and chiral phosphoramidite ligands, which display excellent enantiocontrol in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-dehydroamino acid derivatives. Remarkably, our method is also applicable to enantioselectively synthesize an allocolchicine analogue.

Sequence-specific DNA cleavage mediated by bipyridine polyamide conjugates.

Project description:The design of molecules that damage a selected DNA sequence provides a formidable opportunity for basic and applied biology. For example, such molecules offer new prospects for controlled manipulation of the genome. The conjugation of DNA-code reading molecules such as polyamides to reagents that induce DNA damages provides an approach to reach this goal. In this work, we showed that a bipyridine conjugate of polyamides was able to induce sequence-specific DNA breaks in cells. We synthesized compounds based on two polyamide parts linked to bipyridine at different positions. Bipyridine conjugates of polyamides were found to have a high affinity for the DNA target and one of them produced a specific and high-yield cleavage in vitro and in cultured cells. The bipyridine conjugate studied here, also presents cell penetrating properties since it is active when directly added to cell culture medium. Harnessing DNA damaging molecules such as bipyridine to predetermined genomic sites, as achieved here, provides an attractive strategy for targeted genome modification and DNA repair studies.

Asymmetric Synthesis of N-Substituted α-Amino Esters from α-Ketoesters via Imine Reductase-Catalyzed Reductive Amination.

Project description:N-Substituted α-amino esters are widely used as chiral intermediates in a range of pharmaceuticals. Here we report the enantioselective biocatalyic synthesis of N-substituted α-amino esters through the direct reductive coupling of α-ketoesters and amines employing sequence diverse metagenomic imine reductases (IREDs). Both enantiomers of N-substituted α-amino esters were obtained with high conversion and excellent enantioselectivity under mild reaction conditions. In addition >20 different preparative scale transformations were performed highlighting the scalability of this system.
