A stereoselective and flexible synthesis to access both enantiomers of N-acetylgalactosamine and peracetylated N-acetylidosamine.

ABSTRACT: Synthetic approaches towards N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) have been attracting considerable interest since this compound is known for its pivotal role in cell-cell interaction and receptor induced cell signaling. Herein, we present a synthetic route in which two of the four stereogenic centers present in the target compound are derived from enantiopure tartaric acid being selectively converted to epoxy alcohols. The key step is the Pd-catalyzed, stereo- and regioselective epoxide opening and subsequent nucleophilic substitution of an azide functionality. This approach enables the synthesis of the naturally D- and unnaturally L-configured GalNAc, as well as both enantiomers of the largely unknown N-acetylidosamine (IdoNAc).

First chemoenzymatic stereodivergent synthesis of both enantiomers of promethazine and ethopropazine.

Project description:Enantioenriched promethazine and ethopropazine were synthesized through a simple and straightforward four-step chemoenzymatic route. The central chiral building block, 1-(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)propan-2-ol, was obtained via a lipase-mediated kinetic resolution protocol, which furnished both enantiomeric forms, with superb enantioselectivity (up to E = 844), from the racemate. Novozym 435 and Lipozyme TL IM have been found as ideal biocatalysts for preparation of highly enantioenriched phenothiazolic alcohols (up to >99% ee), which absolute configurations were assigned by Mosher's methodology and unambiguously confirmed by XRD analysis. Thus obtained key-intermediates were further transformed into bromide derivatives by means of PBr3, and subsequently reacted with appropriate amine providing desired pharmacologically valuable (R)- and (S)-stereoisomers of title drugs in an ee range of 84-98%, respectively. The modular amination procedure is based on a solvent-dependent stereodivergent transformation of the bromo derivative, which conducted in toluene gives mainly the product of single inversion, whereas carried out in methanol it provides exclusively the product of net retention. Enantiomeric excess of optically active promethazine and ethopropazine were established by HPLC measurements with chiral columns.

Enzymatic synthesis and chemical inversion provide both enantiomers of bioactive epoxydocosapentaenoic acids.

Project description:Epoxy PUFAs are endogenous cytochrome P450 (P450) metabolites of dietary PUFAs. Although these metabolites exert numerous biological effects, attempts to study their complex biology have been hampered by difficulty in obtaining the epoxides as pure regioisomers and enantiomers. To remedy this, we synthesized 19,20- and 16,17-epoxydocosapentaenoic acids (EDPs) (the two most abundant EDPs in vivo) by epoxidation of DHA with WT and the mutant (F87V) P450 enzyme BM3 from Bacillus megaterium WT epoxidation yielded a 4:1 mixture of 19,20:16,17-EDP exclusively as (S,R) enantiomers. Epoxidation with the mutant (F87V) yielded a 1.6:1 mixture of 19,20:16,17-EDP; the 19,20-EDP fraction was ∼9:1 (S,R):(R,S), but the 16,17-EDP was exclusively the (S,R) enantiomer. To access the (R,S) enantiomers of these EDPs, we used a short (four-step) chemical inversion sequence, which utilizes 2-(phenylthio)ethanol as the epoxide-opening nucleophile, followed by mesylation of the resulting alcohol, oxidation of the thioether moiety, and base-catalyzed elimination. This short synthesis cleanly converts the (S,R)-epoxide to the (R,S)-epoxide without loss of enantiopurity. This method, also applicable to eicosapentaenoic acid and arachidonic acid, provides a simple, cost-effective procedure for accessing larger amounts of these metabolites.

Stereoselective synthesis of both tetrahydropyran rings of the antitumor macrolide, (-)-lasonolide A.

Project description:Stereoselective syntheses of both functionalized tetrahydropyran subunits of (-)-lasonolide A are described. These tetrahydropyran rings were constructed using catalytic asymmetric hetero Diels-Alder reactions as the key steps. The C22 quaternary stereocenter present in the upper tetrahydropyran ring was constructed by a stereoselective alkylation, and the C9 hydroxy stereochemistry of the bottom tetrahydropyran was constructed by a stereoselective epoxidation followed by a regioselective epoxide opening reaction.

Enantioselective syntheses of both enantiomers of noranabasamine.

Project description:Both the R and S enantiomers of the amphibian alkaloid noranabasamine were prepared in >30% overall yield with 80% ee and 86% ee, respectively. An enantioselective iridium-catalyzed N-heterocyclization reaction with either (R)- or (S)-1-phenylethylamine and 1-(5-methoxypyridin-3-yl)-1,5-pentanediol was employed to generate the 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-piperidine ring system in 69-72% yield.

A high-yielding synthesis of allyl glycosides from peracetylated glycosyl donors.

Project description:?-Configured peracetylated sugars are often used as easily accessible glycosyl donors that are typically activated with common Lewis acids such as boron trifluoride or trimethylsilyltrifluoromethane sulfonate. Often these glycosylations occur with unsatisfactory yields due to incomplete reactions or extensive byproduct formation, primarily as a result of loss of an additional acetyl group generating partially unprotected glycosides. Here we report a simple glycosylation-reacetylation protocol for the generation of predominantly ?-configured peracetylated allyl glucoside, -galactoside, -lactoside, and -maltoside with substantially improved reaction yields.

Peracetylated alpha-D-glucopyranosyl fluoride and peracetylated alpha-maltosyl fluoride.

Project description:The X-ray analyses of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl fluoride, C(14)H(19)FO(9), (I), and the corresponding maltose derivative 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl fluoride, C(26)H(35)FO(17), (II), are reported. These add to the series of published alpha-glycosyl halide structures; those of the peracetylated alpha-glucosyl chloride [James & Hall (1969). Acta Cryst. A25, S196] and bromide [Takai, Watanabe, Hayashi & Watanabe (1976). Bull. Fac. Eng. Hokkaido Univ. 79, 101-109] have been reported already. In our structures, which have been determined at 140 K, the glycopyranosyl ring appears in a regular (4)C(1) chair conformation with all the substituents, except for the anomeric fluoride (which adopts an axial orientation), in equatorial positions. The observed bond lengths are consistent with a strong anomeric effect, viz. the C1-O5 (carbohydrate numbering) bond lengths are 1.381 (2) and 1.381 (3) A in (I) and (II), respectively, both significantly shorter than the C5-O5 bond lengths, viz. 1.448 (2) A in (I) and 1.444 (3) A in (II).

Easy access to Evans' oxazolidinones. Stereoselective synthesis and antibacterial activity of a new 2-oxazolidinone derivative.

Project description:An interesting new approach was developed for the synthesis of Evans' chiral auxiliaries with excellent yields. In turn, another new stereoselective and efficient strategy has also allowed for the preparation of a 2-oxazolidinone derivative in 34% overall yield from the Morita-Baylis-Hillman adduct. The antibacterial activity of this oxazolidinone was tested against Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from animals with mastitis infections.

Stereoselective formation and metabolism of 4-hydroxy-retinoic Acid enantiomers by cytochrome p450 enzymes.

Project description:All-trans-retinoic acid (atRA), the major active metabolite of vitamin A, plays a role in many biological processes, including maintenance of epithelia, immunity, and fertility and regulation of apoptosis and cell differentiation. atRA is metabolized mainly by CYP26A1, but other P450 enzymes such as CYP2C8 and CYP3As also contribute to atRA 4-hydroxylation. Although the primary metabolite of atRA, 4-OH-RA, possesses a chiral center, the stereochemical course of atRA 4-hydroxylation has not been studied previously. (4S)- and (4R)-OH-RA enantiomers were synthesized and separated by chiral column HPLC. CYP26A1 was found to form predominantly (4S)-OH-RA. This stereoselectivity was rationalized via docking of atRA in the active site of a CYP26A1 homology model. The docked structure showed a well defined niche for atRA within the active site and a specific orientation of the ?-ionone ring above the plane of the heme consistent with stereoselective abstraction of the hydrogen atom from the pro-(S)-position. In contrast to CYP26A1, CYP3A4 formed the 4-OH-RA enantiomers in a 1:1 ratio and CYP3A5 preferentially formed (4R)-OH-RA. Interestingly, CYP3A7 and CYP2C8 preferentially formed (4S)-OH-RA from atRA. Both (4S)- and (4R)-OH-RA were substrates of CYP26A1 but (4S)-OH-RA was cleared 3-fold faster than (4R)-OH-RA. In addition, 4-oxo-RA was formed from (4R)-OH-RA but not from (4S)-OH-RA by CYP26A1. Overall, these findings show that (4S)-OH-RA is preferred over (4R)-OH-RA by the enzymes regulating atRA homeostasis. The stereoselectivity observed in CYP26A1 function will aid in better understanding of the active site features of the enzyme and the disposition of biologically active retinoids.

Synthesis of Both Enantiomers of Chiral Phenylalanine Derivatives Catalyzed by Cinchona Alkaloid Quaternary Ammonium Salts as Asymmetric Phase Transfer Catalysts.

Project description:A practical synthesis of both enantiomers of unnatural phenylalanine derivatives by using two pseudoenantiomeric phase transfer catalysts is described. Through asymmetric ?-alkylation of glycine Schiff base with substituted benzyl bromides and 1-(bromomethyl)naphthalene under the catalysis of O-allyl-N-(9-anthracenmethyl) cinchoninium bromide (1f) and O-allyl-N-(9-anthracenylmethyl)cinchonidium bromide (1i), respectively, a series of both (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of unnatural ?-amino acid derivatives were obtained in excellent yields and enantioselectivity. The synthetic method is simple and scalable, and the stereochemistry of the products is fully predictable and controlled: the cinchonine-type phase transfer catalyst 1f resulted in (R)-?-amino acid derivatives, and the cinchonidine-type phase transfer catalyst 1i afforded (S)-?-amino acid derivatives.

Stereoselective binding of doxazosin enantiomers to plasma proteins from rats, dogs and humans in vitro.

Project description:AIM: (±)Doxazosin is a long-lasting inhibitor of α1-adrenoceptors that is widely used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms. In this study we investigated the stereoselective binding of doxazosin enantiomers to the plasma proteins of rats, dogs and humans in vitro. METHODS: Human, dog and rat plasma were prepared. Equilibrium dialysis was used to determine the plasma protein binding of each enantiomer in vitro. Chiral HPLC with fluorescence detection was used to measure the drug concentrations on each side of the dialysis membrane bag. RESULTS: Both the enantiomers were highly bound to the plasma proteins of rats, dogs and humans [(-)doxazosin: 89.4%-94.3%; (+)doxazosin: 90.9%-95.4%]. (+)Doxazosin exhibited significantly higher protein binding capacities than (-)doxazosin in all the three species, and the difference in the bound concentration (Cb) between the two enantiomers was enhanced as their concentrations were increased. Although the percentage of the plasma protein binding in the dog plasma was significantly lower than that in the human plasma at 400 and 800 ng/mL, the corrected percentage of plasma protein binding was dog>human>rat. CONCLUSION: (-)Doxazosin and (+)doxazosin show stereoselective plasma protein binding with a significant species difference among rats, dogs and humans.
