?-Amino Acid-Isosteric ?-Amino Tetrazoles.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of all 20 common natural proteinogenic and 4 other?-amino acid-isosteric ?-amino tetrazoles has been accomplished, whereby the carboxyl group is replaced by the isosteric 5-tetrazolyl group. The short process involves the use of the key Ugi tetrazole reaction followed by deprotection chemistries. The tetrazole group is bioisosteric to the carboxylic acid and is widely used in medicinal chemistry and drug design. Surprisingly, several of the common ?-amino acid-isosteric ?-amino tetrazoles are unknown up to now. Therefore a rapid synthetic access to this compound class and non-natural derivatives is of high interest to advance the field.

Synthesis of new bile acid-fused tetrazoles using the Schmidt reaction.

Project description:A practical and high-yielding Schmidt reaction for the synthesis of fused tetrazoles from bile acid precursors was developed. Mild reaction conditions using TMSN3 instead of hydrazoic acid as an azide source produced good yields of the desired tetrazoles. These conditions could be applied to other steroidal precursors. Additionally, an improved methodology for the synthesis of different ketone and enone precursors from cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, and chenodeoxycholic acid was established. Newly obtained tetrazole derivatives were characterized by NMR and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. In a number of cases, preliminary antiproliferative tests of new compounds showed strong and selective activity towards certain tumor cell lines.

A Modular Synthetic Approach to Isosteric Sulfonic Acid Analogues of the Anticoagulant Pentasaccharide Idraparinux.

Project description:Heparin-based anticoagulants are drugs of choice in the therapy and prophylaxis of thromboembolic diseases. Idraparinux is a synthetic anticoagulant pentasaccharide based on the heparin antithrombin-binding domain. In the frame of our ongoing research aimed at the synthesis of sulfonic acid-containing heparinoid anticoagulants, we elaborated a modular pathway to obtain a series of idraparinux-analogue pentasaccharides bearing one or two primary sulfonic acid moieties. Five protected pentasaccharides with different C-sulfonation patterns were prepared by two subsequent glycosylation reactions, respectively, using two monosaccharide and four disaccharide building blocks. Transformation of the protected derivatives into the fully O-sulfated, O-methylated sulfonic acid end-products was also studied.

Tetrazoles via Multicomponent Reactions.

Project description:Tetrazole derivatives are a prime class of heterocycles, very important to medicinal chemistry and drug design due to not only their bioisosterism to carboxylic acid and amide moieties but also to their metabolic stability and other beneficial physicochemical properties. Although more than 20 FDA-approved drugs contain 1 H- or 2 H-tetrazole substituents, their exact binding mode, structural biology, 3D conformations, and in general their chemical behavior is not fully understood. Importantly, multicomponent reaction (MCR) chemistry offers convergent access to multiple tetrazole scaffolds providing the three important elements of novelty, diversity, and complexity, yet MCR pathways to tetrazoles are far from completely explored. Here, we review the use of multicomponent reactions for the preparation of substituted tetrazole derivatives. We highlight specific applications and general trends holding therein and discuss synthetic approaches and their value by analyzing scope and limitations, and also enlighten their receptor binding mode. Finally, we estimated the prospects of further research in this field.

Quinone-amino acid conjugates targeting Leishmania amino acid transporters.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to investigate the feasibility of targeting Leishmania transporters via appropriately designed chemical probes. Leishmania donovani, the parasite that causes visceral leishmaniasis, is auxotrophic for arginine and lysine and has specific transporters (LdAAP3 and LdAAP7) to import these nutrients. Probes 1-15 were originated by conjugating cytotoxic quinone fragments (II and III) with amino acids (i.e. arginine and lysine) by means of an amide linkage. The toxicity of the synthesized conjugates against Leishmania extracellular (promastigotes) and intracellular (amastigotes) forms was investigated, as well their inhibition of the relevant amino acid transporters. We observed that some conjugates indeed displayed toxicity against the parasites; in particular, 7 was identified as the most potent derivative (at concentrations of 1 µg/mL and 2.5 µg/mL residual cell viability was reduced to 15% and 48% in promastigotes and amastigotes, respectively). Notably, 6, while retaining the cytotoxic activity of quinone II, displayed no toxicity against mammalian THP1 cells. Transport assays indicated that the novel conjugates inhibited transport activity of lysine, arginine and proline transporters. Furthermore, our analyses suggested that the toxic conjugates might be translocated by the transporters into the cells. The non-toxic probes that inhibited transport competed with the natural substrates for binding to the transporters without being translocated. Thus, it is likely that 6, by exploiting amino acid transporters, can selectively deliver its toxic effects to Leishmania cells. This work provides the first evidence that amino acid transporters of the human pathogen Leishmania might be modulated by small molecules, and warrants their further investigation from drug discovery and chemical biology perspectives.

Amino acid substituents as a response to amino acid restriction

Project description:Correct charging of tRNAs with their corresponding amino acid is crucial for accurate translation of the genetic code into proteins. However, a growing body of evidence shows that unicellular organisms (bacteria and yeast) can sacrifice translational fidelity to preserve protein synthesis under deprivation of specific essential amino acids.1 Several weeks ago, Pataskar and colleagues described the first instance of codon reassignments caused by amino acid restriction in mammalian cells. Specifically, when human cancer cells were deprived of tryptophan (W), tRNATrp was misacylated with the structurally similar amino acid phenylalanine (F) by tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (WARS1), resulting in W>F substitutions in synthesized proteins.2 The authors show that W>F substitutions do preserve translation, but generally result in dysfunctional proteins and that presentation of W>F peptides stimulates T cell-mediated killing. Together this would impair survival of cancer cells that incorporate W>F substitutions in their proteome.2 In the context of growing interest in amino acid depletion diets and related disorders,2 we wondered whether amino acid substitutions are restricted to pathological states like cancer or may represent a more generalized mechanism to maintain translation despite unfavorable circumstances. It is known that ARSs can misactivate tRNAs with structurally similar amino acids3, but editing activity ensures extreme specificity under physiological conditions.4,5 Given the structural similarities between isoleucine and valine, we speculated that isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IARS1) would misacylate tRNAIle with valine under isoleucine restriction, leading to I>V substitutions in the proteome. Not only did these substitutions occur in healthy primary human cells, but they also preserved translation and promoted cell viability upon nutritional stress.

Amino acid catabolism fuels microalgal lipogenesis

Project description:Microalgal lipid, a feasible substrate for biofuel, is typically accumulated during the stationary growth phase. Generating strains which trigger lipogenesis from the exponential growth phase will enhance lipid productivity, reduce cost of biofuel production. We characterized a lipid-rich microalgal mutant, Dunaliella tertiolecta, which exhibited a six-fold enhancement of neutral lipids production in the exponential growth phase with marginal compromise on growth (4%). Using transcriptomics and metabolomics, regulatory mechanisms of the mutant were uncovered.

Amino acid misincorporation promotes mRNA instability

Project description:Messenger RNA (mRNA) translation can lead to higher rates of mRNA decay, suggesting a role for the ribosome in mRNA destruction. Furthermore, features of an mRNA, such as codon identities, that are directly probed by the ribosome also correlate with mRNA decay rates. Specifically, many amino acids are encoded by synonymous codons, and some synonymous codons are decoded by more abundant tRNAs leading to more optimal translation and increased mRNA stability. In addition to different translation rates, the presence of individual codons can lead to higher or lower rates of amino acid misincorporation which could potentially lead to protein misfolding if an individual amino acid makes many critical contacts in a structure. Here, we directly test whether amino acid misincorporation affects mRNA stability, taking advantage of an aminoglycoside antibiotic (G418) which promotes higher error rates in the ribosome. We observe that G418 decreases firefly luciferase mRNA stability in an in vitro system, and we similarly observe that G418 reduces mRNA stability in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). G418-sensitive mRNAs are enriched for suboptimal hydrophobic amino acid codons as well as other codons that are known to result in higher rates of amino acid misincorporation. Since protein folding is highly sensitive to the identity of hydrophobic amino acids, these results strongly suggest that defects in protein folding are linked to mRNA decay.

Amino acid disorders.

Project description:Amino acids serve as key building blocks and as an energy source for cell repair, survival, regeneration and growth. Each amino acid has an amino group, a carboxylic acid, and a unique carbon structure. Human utilize 21 different amino acids; most of these can be synthesized endogenously, but 9 are "essential" in that they must be ingested in the diet. In addition to their role as building blocks of protein, amino acids are key energy source (ketogenic, glucogenic or both), are building blocks of Kreb's (aka TCA) cycle intermediates and other metabolites, and recycled as needed. A metabolic defect in the metabolism of tyrosine (homogentisic acid oxidase deficiency) historically defined Archibald Garrod as key architect in linking biochemistry, genetics and medicine and creation of the term 'Inborn Error of Metabolism' (IEM). The key concept of a single gene defect leading to a single enzyme dysfunction, leading to "intoxication" with a precursor in the metabolic pathway was vital to linking genetics and metabolic disorders and developing screening and treatment approaches as described in other chapters in this issue. Amino acid disorders also led to the evolution of the field of metabolic nutrition and offending amino acid restricted formula and foods. This review will discuss the more common disorders caused by inborn errors in amino acid metabolism.
