Thiazoline peptides and a tris-phenethyl urea from Didemnum molle with anti-HIV activity.

ABSTRACT: As part of our screening for anti-HIV agents from marine invertebrates, the MeOH extract of Didemnum molle was tested and showed moderate in vitro anti-HIV activity. Bioassay-guided fractionation of a large-scale extract allowed the identification of two new cyclopeptides, mollamides E and F (1 and 2), and one new tris-phenethyl urea, molleurea A (3). The absolute configurations were established using the advanced Marfey's method. The three compounds were evaluated for anti-HIV activity in both an HIV integrase inhibition assay and a cytoprotective cell-based assay. Compound 2 was active in both assays with IC(50) values of 39 and 78 ?M, respectively. Compound 3 was active only in the cytoprotective cell-based assay, with an IC(50) value of 60 ?M.

Cyclic Hexapeptide Dimers, Antatollamides A and B, from the Ascidian Didemnum molle. A Tryptophan-Derived Auxiliary for l- and d-Amino Acid Assignments.

Project description:Two dimerized cyclic hexapeptides, antatollamides A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the colonial ascidian Didemnum molle collected in Pohnpei. The amino acid compositions and sequences were determined by interpretation of MS and 1D and 2D NMR data. Raney Ni reduction of antatollamide A cleaved the dimer to the corresponding monomeric cyclic hexapeptide with replacement of Cys by Ala. The amino acid configuration of 1 was established, after total hydrolysis, by derivatization with a new chiral reagent, (5-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl)-Nα-l-tryptophanamide (FDTA), prepared from l-Trp, followed by LCMS analysis; all amino acids were found to be l-configured except for d-Ala.

(Tetra-oxidoselenato-?O)tris-(thio-urea-?S)zinc(II).

Project description:The title structure, [Zn(SeO(4))(CH(4)N(2)S)(3)], is isomorphous with sulfatotris(thio-urea)zinc(II). In both structures, the Zn(2+) cation is coordinated in a tetra-hedral geometry. The corresponding intra-molecular distances are quite similar except for the Se-O and S-O distances. Although the hydrogen-bonding patterns are similar, there are some differences; in the title structure all the H atoms are involved in the hydrogen-bond pattern, in contrast to the situation in sulfatotris(thio-urea)zinc(II). No reproducible anomalies were detected by differential scanning calorimetry in the range 93-463?K until decomposition started at the higher temperature.

Natural antimicrobial peptides as promising anti-HIV candidates.

Project description:Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection remains to be one of the major global health problems. It is thus necessary to identify novel therapeutic molecules to combat HIV-1. Natural antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been recognized as promising templates for developing topical microbicides. This review systematically discusses over 80 anti-HIV peptides annotated in the antimicrobial peptide database (http://aps.unmc.edu/AP). Such peptides have been discovered from bacteria, plants, and animals. Examples include gramicidin and bacteriocins from bacteria, cyclotides from plants, melittins and cecropins from insects, piscidins from fish, ascaphins, caerins, dermaseptins, esculentins, and maximins from amphibians, and cathelicidins and defensins from vertebrates. These peptides appear to work by different mechanisms and could block viral entry in multiple ways. As additional advantages, such anti-HIV peptides may possess other desired features such as antibacterial, antiparasital, spermicidal, and anticancer activity. With continued optimization of peptide stability, production, formulation and delivery methods, it is anticipated that some of these compounds may eventually become new anti-HIV drugs.

The structure-activity relationship of urea derivatives as anti-tuberculosis agents.

Project description:The treatment of tuberculosis is becoming more difficult due to the ever increasing prevalence of drug resistance. Thus, it is imperative that novel anti-tuberculosis agents, with unique mechanisms of action, be discovered and developed. The direct anti-tubercular testing of a small compound library led to discovery of adamantyl urea hit compound 1. In this study, the hit was followed up through the synthesis of an optimization library. This library was generated by systematically replacing each section of the molecule with a similar moiety until a clear structure-activity relationship was obtained with respect to anti-tubercular activity. The best compounds in this series contained a 1-adamantyl-3-phenyl urea core and had potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis plus an acceptable therapeutic index. It was noted that the compounds identified and the pharmacophore developed is consistent with inhibitors of epoxide hydrolase family of enzymes. Consequently, the compounds were tested for inhibition of representative epoxide hydrolases: M. tuberculosis EphB and EphE; and human soluble epoxide hydrolase. Many of the optimized inhibitors showed both potent EphB and EphE inhibition suggesting the antitubercular activity is through inhibition of multiple epoxide hydrolase enzymes. The inhibitors also showed potent inhibition of humans soluble epoxide hydrolase, but limited cytotoxicity suggesting that future studies must be towards increasing the selectivity of epoxide hydrolase inhibition towards the M. tuberculosis enzymes.

Tetra-aqua-bis-(thio-urea-?S)cadmium(II) triaqua-tris(thio-urea-?S)cadmium(II) disulfate.

Project description:The title compound, [Cd(CH(4)N(2)S)(2)(H(2)O)(4)][Cd(CH(4)N(2)S)(3)(H(2)O)(3)](SO(4))(2), contains two mol-ecules of each of the Cd complexes and four sulfate ions in the asymmetric unit: all the Cd atoms exhibit distorted octa-hedral geometries. The Cd-S and Cd-O bond lengths around the Cd atoms in the bis-(thio-urea) cations are in the ranges 2.580?(4)-2.599?(4) and 2.323?(8)-2.421?(9)?Å, respectively, and the S atoms are in a cis orientation. In the tris-(thio-urea) cations, the corresponding bond lengths around the Cd atoms are slightly longer and are in the ranges 2.559?(4)-2.706?(3) and 2.303?(7)-2.480?(10)?Å, respectively, and the S atoms are in a fac disposition. The crystal structure features numerous N-H?O, N-H?N, O-H?O and O-H?N hydrogen bonds. Two O atoms of a sulfate anion were found to be disordered over two orientations in a 0.620?(9):0.380?(9) ratio. The crystal studied was a racemic twin with BASF = 0.17?(5).

Isatin thiazoline hybrids as dual inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.

Project description:A series of 3-3-{2-[2-3-methyl-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-2-ylidene]hydrazin-1-ylidene-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-2-one derivatives has been designed and synthesized to study their activity on both HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1) RT (Reverse Transcriptase) associated functions. These derivatives are analogs of previously reported series whose biological activity and mode of action have been investigated. In this work we investigated the influence of the introduction of a methyl group in the position 3 of the dihydrothiazole ring and of a chlorine atom in the position 5 of the isatin nucleus. The new synthesized compounds are active towards both DNA polymerase and ribonuclease H in the µM range. The nature of the aromatic group in the position 4 of the thiazole was relevant in determining the biological activity.

Macrophages show unprecedented anti-HIV activity in HIV-infected iHMD-NSG mice

Project description:Very little is known about the role of macrophages as immune mediators during natural HIV infection. Humanized mice are a highly valuable in vivo model to study HIV pathogenesis. Still, the presence of murine mononuclear phagocytes in these models represents a significant limitation for the study of their human counterpart. Therefore, we generated a novel humanized mouse model for the selective depletion of human myeloid cells at a time point of our choosing. These inducible human myeloid cell depletion (iHMD) mice showed specific human myeloid cell depletion with no adverse events for the animals. We used this model to demonstrate that human mononuclear phagocytes restrict HIV replication in vivo by secreting antiviral cytokines and chemokines. These in vivo data were validated by a co-culture assay, showing soluble factors are at the basics of macrophage-mediated restriction of HIV. Transcriptomic data confirmed macrophages restrict HIV replication via upregulation of antiviral cytokines and chemokines. RNA sequencing CD4+ T-cells showed cellular activation, up-regulation of HIV restriction factors and the downregulation of DNA transcription and RNA translation in the presence of macrophages. This work describes a novel role of macrophages as effector cells acting against HIV replication and disease progression.
