Exploring endoperoxides as a new entry for the synthesis of branched azasugars.

ABSTRACT: A new class of nitrogen-containing endoperoxides were synthesised by a photochemical [4 + 2]-cycloaddition between a diene and singlet oxygen. The endoperoxides were dihydroxylated and protected to provide a series of endoperoxide building blocks for organic synthesis, with potential use as precursors for the synthesis of branched azasugars. Preliminary exploration of the chemistry of these building blocks provided access to a variety of derivatives including tetrahydrofurans, epoxides and protected amino-tetraols.

Palladium Catalyzed Cyclopropanation of Unsaturated Endoperoxides. A New Peroxide Preserving Reaction.

Project description:Unsaturated bicyclic endoperoxides are efficiently cyclopropanated with excess diazomethane in the presence of catalytic Pd(OAc)2 in a stereoselective manner. This method represents a new peroxide preserving transformation. Whereas the unsaturated endoperoxides in the [2.2.1] series are attacked by the carbene from the exo face, the analogs with larger bridges are preferentially attacked from the face syn to the peroxo bridge. Only in the case of the benzannelated [2.2.2] system the attack occurs exclusively from the face proximal to the benzene ring. Certain strained cyclopropanated endoperoxides are reduced by diazomethane to give cis-diols. 1-Methylfuran endoperoxide gives rise to cis-1-formyl-2-acetylcyclopropane in excellent yield.

New endoperoxides highly active in vivo and in vitro against artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The emergence and spread of Plasmodium falciparum resistance to artemisinin-based combination therapy in Southeast Asia prompted the need to develop new endoperoxide-type drugs. METHODS:A chemically diverse library of endoperoxides was designed and synthesized. The compounds were screened for in vitro and in vivo anti-malarial activity using, respectively, the SYBR Green I assay and a mouse model. Ring survival and mature stage survival assays were performed against artemisinin-resistant and artemisinin-sensitive P. falciparum strains. Cytotoxicity was evaluated against mammalian cell lines V79 and HepG2, using the MTT assay. RESULTS:The synthesis and anti-malarial activity of 21 new endoperoxide-derived compounds is reported, where the peroxide pharmacophore is part of a trioxolane (ozonide) or a tetraoxane moiety, flanked by adamantane and a substituted cyclohexyl ring. Eight compounds exhibited sub-micromolar anti-malarial activity (IC50 0.3-71.1 nM), no cross-resistance with artemisinin or quinolone derivatives and negligible cytotoxicity towards mammalian cells. From these, six produced ring stage survival <?1% against the resistant strain IPC5202 and three of them totally suppressed Plasmodium berghei parasitaemia in mice after oral administration. CONCLUSION:The investigated, trioxolane-tetrazole conjugates LC131 and LC136 emerged as potential anti-malarial candidates; they show negligible toxicity towards mammalian cells, ability to kill intra-erythrocytic asexual stages of artemisinin-resistant P. falciparum and capacity to totally suppress P. berghei parasitaemia in mice.

Catalytic Enantioselective Peroxidation of ?,?-Unsaturated Aldehydes for the Asymmetric Synthesis of Biologically Important Chiral Endoperoxides.

Project description:We have developed an unprecedented highly enantioselective catalytic peroxidation of enals. Critical to this development is the discovery that varying the structure of the hydroperoxide has a significant impact on the enantioselectivity of the organocatalytic asymmetric peroxidation. This novel transformation enabled the development of an enantioselective route toward the core structure shared by all members of the stolonoxide family of anticancer natural products, a connected trans-3,6-disubstituted-1,2-dioxane and trans-2,5-disubstituted-tetrahydrofuran ring system. Our route also features an unprecedented cyclization cascade of a chiral bis(epoxy)hydroperoxide. The new methodology and synthetic strategy established in this work should be applicable to the enantioselective synthesis of a broad range of chiral 1,2-dioxolanes and 1,2-dioxanes, thereby facilitating biological and medicinal chemistry studies of peroxy natural products.

Diastereoselective synthesis of new O-alkylated and C-branched inositols and their corresponding fluoro analogues.

Project description:Efficient routes were developed for the diastereoselective synthesis of new O-alkylated and C-branched inositols and their corresponding fluoro analogues. The key steps of the synthesis were the easy accessibility of different types of arms in term of configuration (myo and scyllo), the linking method and length, which could modulate the biological properties. These inositol derivatives, bearing an arm terminated either with a hydroxy group or a fluorine atom, could be interesting candidates for diastereoisomeric intermediates and biological evaluations, especially for PET imaging experiments.

Triphenylphosphine reduction of saturated endoperoxides.

Project description:Triphenylphosphine reduction of saturated endoperoxides derived from 6,6-dimethylfulvene and spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene in the presence of nucleophiles results in the formation of products that mainly stem from deoxygenation followed by carbocation formation. Nucleophilic attack by solvent proceeds by an S(N)1 like mechanism; allyl shifts and cyclopropylcarbinyl-cyclobutyl rearrangements also occur. With the systems lacking carbocation-stabilizing groups, the deoxygenation step is preceded by attack of H(2)O at the phosphorus.

Multicomponent synthesis of alpha-branched amides.

Project description:Alpha-branched amides are prepared by multicomponent reactions in which nitriles undergo hydrozirconation to form metalloimines that react with acyl chlorides. The resulting acylimines react with a variety of pi-nucleophiles in the presence of Lewis acids to form the desired amides.

Synthesis of New Branched 2-Nitroimidazole as a Hypoxia Sensitive Linker for Ligand-Targeted Drugs of Paclitaxel.

Project description:Because of the low selectivity and efficiency of normal antitumor agents, the strategy of ligand-targeted drugs was put forward. In this paper, we designed and synthesized a new bioreductive linker based on 2-nitroimidazole, which was used in three paclitaxel (PTX) prodrugs. The drug release mechanism via six-membered ring was demonstrated by chemical reduction and nitroreductase assay. Glucose and acetazolamide, which have been reported widely as ligands, were attached to compound 7 to afford Glu-PTX and AZO-PTX. The prodrugs were considerably stable in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) and plasma. What is more, PTX releasing could be triggered by nitroreductase rapidly. In in vitro cytotoxicity assay, the prodrugs exhibited moderate selectivity toward hypoxic tumor cells. We considered that the 2-nitroimidazole linker could accelerate the release of prodrugs under hypoxic condition. It was promising in the development of ligand-targeted drugs.

Synthesis of Branched Triubiquitin Active-Site Directed Probes.

Project description:Active-site directed probes are powerful tools for studying the ubiquitin conjugation and deconjugation machinery. Branched ubiquitin chains have emerged as important proteasome-targeting signals for aggregation-prone proteins and cell cycle regulators. By implementing a new synthetic strategy for the electrophilic warhead, we herein report on the generation and reactivity of a series of branched triubiquitin active-site directed probes. These new tools can be used to dissect the molecular basis of branched chain assembly and disassembly.

Short-Chained Anthracene Strapped Porphyrins and their Endoperoxides.

Project description:The syntheses of short-chained anthracene-strapped porphyrins and their Zn(II)complexes are reported. The key synthetic step is a [2+2] condensation between a dipyrromethane and an anthracene bisaldehyde, 2,2'-((anthracene-9,10-diylbis(methylene))bis(oxy))dibenzaldehyde. Following exposure to white light, self-sensitized singlet oxygen and the anthracene moieties underwent [4+2] cycloaddition reactions to yield the corresponding endoperoxides. 1H NMR studies demonstrate that the endoperoxide readily formed in [D]chloroform and decayed at 85 °C. X-ray crystallography and absorption spectroscopy were used to confirm macrocyclic distortion in the parent strapped porphyrins and endoperoxides. Additionally, X-ray crystallography indicated that endoperoxide formation occurred exclusively on the outside face of the anthracene moiety.

Pamidronate-Conjugated Biodegradable Branched Copolyester Carriers: Synthesis and Characterization.

Project description:The need for development of comprehensive therapeutic systems, (e.g., polymer-apatite composites) as a bone substitute material has previously been highlighted in many scientific reports. The aim of this study was to develop a new multifunctional composite based on hydroxyapatite porous granules doped with selenite ions (SeO?2-) and a biodegradable branched copolymer-bisphosphonate conjugate as a promising bone substitute material for patients with bone tumours or bone metastasis. A series of biodegradable and branched copolymer matrices, adequate for delivery of bisphosphonate in the bone-deficient area were synthesized and physico-chemically and biologically (cyto- and genotoxicity assays) characterized. Branched copolymers were obtained using a hyperbranched bis-MPA polyester-16-hydroxyl initiator and Sn(Oct)?, a (co)catalyst of the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of l,l-lactide (LLA) and ?-caprolactone (CL). A new amide bond was formed between the hydroxyl end groups of the synthesized copolymer carriers and an amine group of pamidronate (PAM)-the drug inhibiting bone resorption and osteoclast activity in bone. The dependence of the physico-chemical properties of the copolymer matrices on the kinetic release of PAM from the synthesized branched copolymer conjugate-coated hydroxyapatite granules doped with selenite ions was observed. Moreover, the correlation of these results with the hydrolytic degradation data of the synthesized matrices was evidenced. Therefore, the developed composite porous hydroxyapatite doped with SeO?2- ions/biodegradable copolymer-PAM conjugate appears most attractive as a bone substitute material for cancer patients.
