Conformationally Constrained Penta(hetero)cyclic Molecular Architectures via Photoassisted Diversity-Oriented Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Intramolecular cycloadditions of photogenerated azaxylylenes provide access to unprecedented polyheterocyclic scaffolds, suitable for subsequent postphotochemical modifications to further grow molecular complexity. Here we explore approaches to rapid "assembly" of novel photoprecursors with nitrogen/oxygen-rich tethers capable of producing potential pharmacophores and also compatible with subsequent 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to furnish pentacyclic heterocycles with new structural cores, minimal number of rotatable bonds, and a high content of sp3 hybridized carbons. The modular "assembly" of the photoprecursors and potential variety of postphotochemical modifications of primary photoproducts provide framework for combinatorial implementation of this synthetic strategy.

Protein synthesis with conformationally constrained cyclic dipeptides.

Project description:We have synthesized several conformationally constrained dipeptide analogues as possible substrates for incorporation into proteins. These have included three cyclic dipeptides formed from Boc derivatives of 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, ornithine and lysine, having 5-, 6-, and 7-membered lactam rings, respectively. These dipeptides were used to activate a suppressor tRNA transcript, the latter of which had been prepared by in vitro transcription. Using modified E. coli ribosomes described previously, these activated suppressor tRNAs enabled the incorporation of the three cyclic dipeptides into dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) at positions 18 and 49. The suppression yields increased with increasing lactam ring size and were found to proceed in suppression yields ranging from 3.4 to 8.9% at two different protein sites for the 5-, 6- and 7-membered lactam dipeptides. The greater facility of incorporation of the 7-membered lactam prompted us to prepare two 7-membered cyclic acylhydrazides (4 and 5) by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDCI)-mediated cyclization of amino acids having selectively protected hydrazine functional groups in their side chains. In common with the lactam dipeptides, acylhydrazide dipeptides 4 and 5 could be used to activate the same suppressor tRNA transcript and to incorporate the cyclic dipeptides into DHFR. They were incorporated into the same two DHFR sites in suppression yields ranging from 8.3 to 11.2%.

Photoassisted diversity-oriented synthesis: accessing 2,6-epoxyazocane (oxamorphan) cores.

Project description:The modular synthesis of photoprecursors and their photoinduced cyclization into substituted 1-benzazocanes of two distinct topologies is described. The key step producing an extended polyheterocyclic system involves the photogeneration of azaxylylenes and their subsequent intramolecular cycloaddition with furan-containing pendants tethered either via the aniline nitrogen or through the carbonyl group containing arm. The primary photoproducts-secondary or tertiary anilines which are not acylated at the nitrogen atom-undergo facile acid-catalyzed or spontaneous ring-opening-ring-closing rearrangement to yield fused polyheterocyclic structures possessing a 2,6-epoxyazocane (or oxamorphan) core.

Photoassisted access to enantiopure conformationally locked ribofuranosylamines spiro-linked to oxazolidino-diketopiperazines.

Project description:N-Furoylated L-threonine-, serine-, or cysteine-based aminoacetals are coupled with o-aminoketones or aldehydes to offer rapid access to diverse enantiopure polyheterocycles possessing conformationally locked aminoglycoside-containing molecular scaffolds. The key step involves photogeneration of azaxylylenes which undergo [4 + 4] or [4 + 2] cycloadditions to the tethered furoyl pendants.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Conformationally Constrained Inhibitors Targeting EGFR.

Project description:This letter describes the construction of conformationally constrained quinazoline analogues. Structure-activity relationship studies led to the identification of the lead compound 9n . Compound 9n exhibits effective in vitro activity against A431(WT,overexpression) and H1975([L858R/T790M]) cancer cell lines but is significantly less effective against EGFR negative cancer cell lines (SW620, A549, and K562). Compound 9n was also assessed for potency in enzymatic assays and in vivo antitumor studies. The results indicated that 9n is a potent kinase inhibitor against both wild-type and T790M mutant EGFR kinase. Meanwhile, an oral administration of 9n at a dose of 200 mg/kg produced a considerable antitumor effect in a A431 xenograft model, as compared to gefitinib. A preliminary pharmacokinetic study of 9n also indicates it has good pharmacokinetic properties, and therefore, it is a good starting point for further development.

Synthesis and characterization of oligonucleotides containing conformationally constrained bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane pseudosugar analogs.

Project description:Oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing pseudorotationally locked sites derived from bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane pseudosugars have been synthesized using adenosine, thymidine and abasic versions of North- and South-methanocarba nucleosides. The reaction conditions for coupling and oxidation steps of oligonucleotide synthesis have been investigated and optimized to allow efficient and facile solid-phase synthesis using phosphoramidite chemistry. Our studies demonstrate that the use of iodine for P(III) to P(V) oxidation leads to strand cleavage at the sites where the pseudosugar is North. In contrast, the same cleavage reaction was not observed in the case of South pseudosugars. Iodine oxidation generates a 5'-phosphate oligonucleotide fragment on the resin and releases the North pseudosugar into the solution. This side reaction, which is responsible for the extremely low yields observed for the incorporation of the North pseudosugar analogs, has been studied in detail and can be easily overcome by replacing iodine with t-butylhydroperoxide as oxidant.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of conformationally constrained glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase inhibitors.

Project description:Glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) isozymes are central control points for fat synthesis in mammals. Development of inhibitors of these membrane-bound enzymes could lead to an effective treatment for obesity, but is thwarted by an absence of direct structural information. Based on a highly successful study involving conformationally constrained glycerol 3-phosphate analogs functioning as potent glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase inhibitors, several series of cyclic bisubstrate and transition state analogs were designed, synthesized, and tested as GPAT inhibitors. The weaker in vitro inhibitory activity of these compounds compared to a previously described benzoic acid series was then examined in docking experiments with the soluble squash chloroplast GPAT crystal structure. These in silico experiments indicate that cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl scaffolds prepared in this study may be occluded from the enzyme active site by two protein loops that sterically guard the phosphate binding region. In view of these findings, future GPAT inhibitor design will be driven toward compounds based on planar frameworks able to slide between these loops and enter the active site, resulting in improved inhibitory activity.

Discovery of Conformationally Constrained ALK2 Inhibitors.

Project description:Despite decades of research on new diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) treatments, little or no progress has been made on improving patient outcomes. In this work, we explored novel scaffold modifications of M4K2009, a 3,5-diphenylpyridine ALK2 inhibitor previously reported by our group. Here we disclose the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a first-in-class set of 5- to 7-membered ether-linked and 7-membered amine-linked constrained inhibitors of ALK2. This rigidification strategy led us to the discovery of the ether-linked inhibitors M4K2308 and M4K2281 and the amine-linked inhibitors M4K2304 and M4K2306, each with superior potency against ALK2. Notably, M4K2304 and M4K2306 exhibit exceptional selectivity for ALK2 over ALK5, surpassing the reference compound. Preliminary studies on their in vivo pharmacokinetics, including blood-brain barrier penetration, revealed that these constrained scaffolds have favorable exposure and do open a novel chemical space for further optimization and future evaluation in orthotopic models of DIPG.

Diversity-oriented synthesis of macrocyclic peptidomimetics.

Project description:Structurally diverse libraries of novel small molecules represent important sources of biologically active agents. In this paper we report the development of a diversity-oriented synthesis strategy for the generation of diverse small molecules based around a common macrocyclic peptidomimetic framework, containing structural motifs present in many naturally occurring bioactive compounds. Macrocyclic peptidomimetics are largely underrepresented in current small-molecule screening collections owing primarily to synthetic intractability; thus novel molecules based around these structures represent targets of significant interest, both from a biological and a synthetic perspective. In a proof-of-concept study, the synthesis of a library of 14 such compounds was achieved. Analysis of chemical space coverage confirmed that the compound structures indeed occupy underrepresented areas of chemistry in screening collections. Crucial to the success of this approach was the development of novel methodologies for the macrocyclic ring closure of chiral ?-azido acids and for the synthesis of diketopiperazines using solid-supported N methylmorpholine. Owing to their robust and flexible natures, it is envisaged that both new methodologies will prove to be valuable in a wider synthetic context.

Diversity-oriented synthesis of 17-spirosteroids.

Project description:A diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) approach has been used to functionalize 17-ethynyl-17-hydroxysteroids through a one-pot procedure involving a ring-closing enyne metathesis (RCEYM) and a Diels-Alder reaction on the resulting diene, under microwave irradiations. Taking advantage of the propargyl alcohol moiety present on commercially available steroids, this classical strategy was applied to mestranol and lynestrenol, giving a collection of new complex 17-spirosteroids.
