Super-secondary structure peptidomimetics: design and synthesis of an ?-? hairpin analogue.

ABSTRACT: The ?-? helix motif presents key recognition domains in protein-protein and protein-oligonucleotide binding, and is one of the most common super-secondary structures. Herein we describe the design, synthesis and structural characterization of an ?-? hairpin analogue based on a tetra-coordinated Pd(II) bis-(iminoisoquinoline) complex as a template for the display of two ?-helix mimics. This approach is exemplified by the attachment of two biphenyl peptidomimetics to reproduce the side-chains of the i and i+4 residues of two helices.

Design, synthesis, and optimization of novel epoxide incorporating peptidomimetics as selective calpain inhibitors.

Project description:Hyperactivation of the calcium-dependent cysteine protease calpain 1 (Cal1) is implicated as a primary or secondary pathological event in a wide range of illnesses and in neurodegenerative states, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). E-64 is an epoxide-containing natural product identified as a potent nonselective, calpain inhibitor, with demonstrated efficacy in animal models of AD. By use of E-64 as a lead, three successive generations of calpain inhibitors were developed using computationally assisted design to increase selectivity for Cal1. First generation analogues were potent inhibitors, effecting covalent modification of recombinant Cal1 catalytic domain (Cal1cat), demonstrated using LC-MS/MS. Refinement yielded second generation inhibitors with improved selectivity. Further library expansion and ligand refinement gave three Cal1 inhibitors, one of which was designed as an activity-based protein profiling probe. These were determined to be irreversible and selective inhibitors by kinetics studies comparing full length Cal1 with the general cysteine protease papain.

Hairpin RNA induces secondary small interfering RNA synthesis and silencing in trans in fission yeast

Project description:We provide evidence of the generation of Rdp1-mediated secondary siRNAs in vivo in fission yeast. Secondly, we show that the presence of Ago1-associated siRNAs does not guarantee robust silencing. We obtained sequences from gel purified small RNAs of wt and rdp1delta fission yeast cells and FLAG-ago1 associated small RNAs.

Structure-Based Design of Novel Peptidomimetics Targeting the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein.

Project description:PurposeSARS-CoV-2 is a SARS-like novel coronavirus strain first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The virus has since spread globally, resulting in the current ongoing coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is a critical factor in the COVID-19 pathogenesis via interactions with the host cell angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) PD domain. Worldwide, numerous efforts are being made to combat COVID19. In the current study, we identified potential peptidomimetics against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.MethodsWe utilized the information from ACE2-SARS-CoV-2 binary interactions, and based on crucial interacting interface residues, novel peptidomimetics were designed.ResultsTop scoring peptidomimetics were found to bind at the ACE2 binding site of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.ConclusionsThe current studies could pave the way for further investigations of these novel and potent compounds against the SARS-CoV-2.

Synthesis of isopeptide epoxide peptidomimetics.

Project description:Two epoxide-containing peptidomimetics of the isopeptide, glutamyl-gamma-glutamate, have been synthesized via a route that should be generally applicable to the synthesis of isopeptide analogues in which an oxirane replaces the scissile peptide bond. Enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptides and isopeptides are often susceptible to inactivation by electrophilic substrate analogues. In this research, an epoxide was installed as an electrophilic replacement of the scissile isopeptide bond. The C-terminal glutamyl mimic was accessed by the stereospecific synthesis of suitably substituted cyclopentenes, 8 and 10, as surrogates for either the L- or D-enantiomer. The enantiomeric cyclopentenes were further elaborated to incorporate an appended sulfone that was reacted with a suitably protected glutamyl-gamma-semialdehyde in a Julia-Kocienski olefination reaction. This olefination afforded predominantly the desired E-olefin isosteres of L-glutamyl-gamma-D-glutamate and L-glutamyl-gamma-L-glutamate, following which peracid-mediated epoxidation and deprotection provided the epoxide-containing peptidomimetics, 4 and 5.

Hemi-phorboxazole a: structure confirmation, analogue design and biological evaluation.

Project description:A synthesis providing totally synthetic (+)-hemi-phorboxazole A (1), proceeding in two steps (85% yield) from known vinyl iodide precursor (+)-2, has been achieved in conjunction with the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of two hemi-phorboxazole analogues [(+)-3 and (-)-4] featuring ring replacements inscribed within the macrolide. Although hemi-phorboxazole A (1) displayed no activity when tested against Candida albicans and two human cancer cell lines, analogue (-)-4 exhibited significant tumor cell growth inhibitory activity in the nanomolar range against HCT-116 (colon) and SK-BR-3 (breast), while (+)-3 displayed promising antifungal activity against C. albicans.

Peptidomimetics Based On Dehydroepiandrosterone Scaffold: Synthesis, Antiproliferation Activity, Structure-Activity Relationship, and Mechanisms.

Project description:A series of novel peptidomimetics bearing dehydroepiandrosterone moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibition activities against cell proliferation. According to the preliminary studies on inhibitory activities, some of the newly prepared compounds indicated significantly inhibition activities against human hepatoma cancer (HepG2), human lung cancer (A549), human melanoma (A875) cell lines compared with the control 5-fluorouracil. Especially, compounds Ii (IC50?<?14??M) and Ik (IC50?<?13??M) exhibited obvious inhibition activities against all tested cell lines. The highly potential compound Ik induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the apoptotic effects of compound Ik were further evaluated using Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide dual staining assay, which revealed these highly potential compounds induced cell death in HepG2 cells at least partly by apoptosis.

Design and Synthesis of an Alkynyl Luciferin Analogue for Bioluminescence Imaging.

Project description:Herein, the synthesis and characterization of an alkyne-modified luciferin is reported. This bioluminescent probe was accessed using C-H activation methodology and was found to be stable in solution and capable of light production with firefly luciferase. The luciferin analogue was also cell permeant and emitted more redshifted light than d-luciferin, the native luciferase substrate. Based on these features, the alkynyl luciferin will be useful for a variety of imaging applications.

Structure based antibody-like peptidomimetics.

Project description:Biologics such as monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and soluble receptors represent new classes of therapeutic agents for treatment of several diseases. High affinity and high specificity biologics can be utilized for variety of clinical purposes. Monoclonal antibodies have been used as diagnostic agents when coupled with radionuclide, immune modulatory agents or in the treatment of cancers. Among other limitations of using large molecules for therapy the actual cost of biologics has become an issue. There is an effort among chemists and biologists to reduce the size of biologics which includes monoclonal antibodies and receptors without a reduction of biological efficacy. Single chain antibody, camel antibodies, Fv fragments are examples of this type of deconstructive process. Small high-affinity peptides have been identified using phage screening. Our laboratory used a structure-based approach to develop small-size peptidomimetics from the three-dimensional structure of proteins with immunoglobulin folds as exemplified by CD4 and antibodies. Peptides derived either from the receptor or their cognate ligand mimics the functions of the parental macromolecule. These constrained peptides not only provide a platform for developing small molecule drugs, but also provide insight into the atomic features of protein-protein interactions. A general overview of the reduction of monoclonal antibodies to small exocyclic peptide and its prospects as a useful diagnostic and as a drug in the treatment of cancer are discussed.
