Enantioselective synthesis of isotopically labeled homocitric acid lactone.

ABSTRACT: A concise synthesis of homocitric acid lactone was developed to accommodate systematic placement of carbon isotopes (specifically (13)C) for detailed studies of this cofactor. This new route uses a chiral allylic alcohol, available in multigram quantities from enzymatic resolution, as a starting material, which transposes asymmetry through an Ireland-Claisen rearrangement.

Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of isotopically labeled nicotinamide riboside.

Project description:As a cofactor for numerous reactions, NAD+ is found widely dispersed across many maps of cellular metabolism. This core redox role alone makes the biosynthesis of NAD+ of great interest. Recent studies have revealed new biological roles for NAD+ as a substrate for diverse enzymes that regulate a broad spectrum of key cellular tasks. These NAD+-consuming enzymes further highlight the importance of understanding NAD+ biosynthetic pathways. In this study, we developed a chemo-enzymatic synthesis of isotopically labeled NAD+ precursor, nicotinamide riboside (NR). The synthesis of NR isotopomers allowed us to unambiguously determine that NR is efficiently converted to NAD+ in the cellular environment independent of degradation to nicotinamide, and it is incorporated into NAD+ in its intact form. The versatile synthetic method along with the isotopically labeled NRs will provide powerful tools to further decipher the important yet complicated NAD+ metabolism.

Synthesis of isotopically labeled P-site substrates for the ribosomal peptidyl transferase reaction.

Project description:Isotopomers of the ribosomal P-site substrate, the trinucleotide peptide conjugate CCA-pcb (Zhong, M.; Strobel, S. A. Org. Lett. 2006, 8, 55-58), have been designed and synthesized in 26-35 steps. These include individual isotopic substitution at the alpha-hydrogen, carbonyl carbon, and carbonyl oxygen of the amino acid, the O2' and O3' of the adenosine, and a remote label in the N3 and N4 of both cytidines. These isotopomers were synthesized by coupling cytidylyl-(3',5')-cytidine phosphoramidite isotopomers as the common synthetic intermediates, with isotopically substituted A-Phe-cap-biotin (A-pcb). The isotopic enrichment is higher than 99% for 1-13C (Phe), 2-2H (Phe), and 3,4-15N2 (cytidine), 93% for 2'/3'-18 O (adenosine), and 64% for 1-18 O (Phe). A new synthesis of highly enriched [1-18 O2]phenylalanine has been developed. The synthesis of [3'-18 O]adenosine was improved by Lewis acid aided regioselective ring opening of the epoxide and by an economical SN2-SN2 method with high isotopic enrichment (93%). Such substrates are valuable for studies of the ribosomal peptidyl transferase reaction by complete kinetic isotope effect analysis and of other biological processes catalyzed by nucleic acid related enzymes, including polymerases, reverse transcriptases, ligases, nucleases, and ribozymes.

Synthesis of Isotopically Labeled, Spin-Isolated Tyrosine and Phenylalanine for Protein NMR Applications.

Project description:Isotopically labeled amino acids are widely used to study the structure and dynamics of proteins by NMR. Herein we describe a facile, gram-scale synthesis of compounds 1b and 2b under standard laboratory conditions from the common intermediate 7. 2b is obtained via simple deprotection, while 1b is accessed through a reductive deoxygenation/deuteration sequence and deprotection. 1b and 2b provide improved signal intensity using lower amounts of labeled precursor and are alternatives to existing labeling approaches.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Homocitric Acid Lactone.

Project description:A short, diastereoselective synthesis of homocitric acid lactone is described. The key step is a bioinspired aldol addition to set the stereogenic center in an intermediate that requires only modest oxidation state manipulation to complete the synthesis. This approach enables rapid generation of isotopomers in which carbon and hydrogen can be replaced by heavier nuclei at nearly every position.

Synthesis of an isotopically labeled naphthalene derivative that supports a long-lived nuclear singlet state.

Project description:The synthesis of an octa-alkoxy substituted isotopically labeled naphthalene derivative, shown to have excellent properties in singlet NMR experiments, is described. This highly substituted naphthalene system, which incorporates an adjacent (13)C spin pair, is readily accessed from a commercially available (13)C2-labeled building block via sequential thermal alkynyl- and arylcyclobutenone rearrangements. The synthetic route incorporates a simple desymmetrization approach leading to a small difference in the chemical shifts of the (13)C spin pair, a design constraint crucial for accessing nuclear singlet order.

Design and synthesis of a novel ZB716-d6 as a stable isotopically labeled internal standard.

Project description:ZB716 is a synthetic, steroidal, orally active anti-estrogen agent that is under clinical development for the treatment of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive metastatic breast cancer. The stable isotope-labeled ZB716 was required for use as an internal standard in LC-MS/MS assays. Therefore, a novel deuterated ZB716 (ZB716-d6) as an isotopically labeled internal standard was designed and synthesized through a newly developed route, which prepared ZB716-d6 in eight steps from the commercially available deuterium-labeled starting material [2H6]pentafluoropentanol. This procedure is very practicable and gives the final compound in good yield (19% total yield) and high purity (D, >99%, chemical purity 98%). At present, ZB716-d6 has been successfully used as an internal standard in clinical bioanalysis.

Chemoenzymatic Semi-synthesis Enables Efficient Production of Isotopically Labeled α-Synuclein with Site-Specific Tyrosine Phosphorylation.

Project description:Post-translational modifications (PTMs) can affect the normal function and pathology of α-synuclein (αS), an amyloid-fibril-forming protein linked to Parkinson's disease. Phosphorylation of αS Tyr39 has recently been found to display a dose-dependent effect on fibril formation kinetics and to alter the morphology of the fibrils. Existing methods to access site-specifically phosphorylated αS for biochemical studies include total or semi-synthesis by native chemical ligation (NCL) as well as chemoenzymatic methods to phosphorylate peptides, followed by NCL. Here, we investigated a streamlined method to produce large quantities of phosphorylated αS by co-expressing a kinase with a protein fragment in Escherichia coli. We also introduced the use of methyl thioglycolate (MTG) to enable one-pot NCL and desulfurization. We compare our optimized methods to previous reports and show that we can achieve the highest yields of site-specifically phosphorylated protein through chemoenzymatic methods using MTG, and that our strategy is uniquely well suited to producing 15 N-labeled, phosphorylated protein for NMR studies.

Tracking isotopically labeled oxidants using boronate-based redox probes.

Project description:Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species have been implicated in many biological processes and diseases, including immune responses, cardiovascular dysfunction, neurodegeneration, and cancer. These chemical species are short-lived in biological settings, and detecting them in these conditions and diseases requires the use of molecular probes that form stable, easily detectable, products. The chemical mechanisms and limitations of many of the currently used probes are not well-understood, hampering their effective applications. Boronates have emerged as a class of probes for the detection of nucleophilic two-electron oxidants. Here, we report the results of an oxygen-18-labeling MS study to identify the origin of oxygen atoms in the oxidation products of phenylboronate targeted to mitochondria. We demonstrate that boronate oxidation by hydrogen peroxide, peroxymonocarbonate, hypochlorite, or peroxynitrite involves the incorporation of oxygen atoms from these oxidants. We therefore conclude that boronates can be used as probes to track isotopically labeled oxidants. This suggests that the detection of specific products formed from these redox probes could enable precise identification of oxidants formed in biological systems. We discuss the implications of these results for understanding the mechanism of conversion of the boronate-based redox probes to oxidant-specific products.

Isotopically Labeled Clickable Glutathione to Quantify Protein S-Glutathionylation.

Project description:Protein S-glutathionylation is one of the important cysteine oxidation events that regulate various redox-mediated biological processes. Despite several existing methods, there are few proteomic approaches to identify and quantify specific cysteine residues susceptible to S-glutathionylation. We previously developed a clickable glutathione approach that labels intracellular glutathione with azido-Ala by using a mutant form of glutathione synthetase. In this study, we developed a quantification strategy with clickable glutathione by using isotopically labeled heavy and light derivatives of azido-Ala, which provides the relative quantification of glutathionylated peptides in mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis. We applied isotopically labeled clickable glutathione to HL-1 cardiomyocytes, quantifying relative levels of 1398 glutathionylated peptides upon addition of hydrogen peroxide. Importantly, we highlight elevated levels of glutathionylation on sarcomere-associated muscle proteins while validating glutathionylation of two structural proteins, α-actinin and desmin. Our report provides a chemical proteomic strategy to quantify specific glutathionylated cysteines.
