Efficient synthesis of 4-substituted-ortho-phthalaldehyde analogues: toward the emergence of new building blocks.

ABSTRACT: 4-Methoxy-ortho-phthalaldehyde and 4-hydroxy-ortho-phthalaldehyde are potentially useful molecules for fluorimetric analysis of a variety of amines and for the elaboration of complex molecular architectures. Nevertheless, literature generally describes their synthesis in very low yield (below 5%), mainly due to the inefficiency of the last oxidation step. In this paper, we report a reliable synthesis of 4-substituted-ortho-phthalaldehyde analogues in 51% overall yield owing to the addition of a protecting step of the unstable key intermediate 4,5-dihydroisobenzofuran-5-ol. Oxidation and deprotection steps were also studied in order to provide an effective availability of these two dialdehyde compounds that may increase their future applications.

Dipeptides of S-Substituted Dehydrocysteine as Artzyme Building Blocks: Synthesis, Complexing Abilities and Antiproliferative Properties.

Project description:Dehydropeptides are analogs of peptides containing at least one conjugate double bond between α,β-carbon atoms. Its presence provides unique structural properties and reaction centre for chemical modification. In this study, the series of new class of dipeptides containing S-substituted dehydrocysteine with variety of heterocyclic moieties was prepared. The compounds were designed as the building blocks for the construction of artificial metalloenzymes (artzymes). Therefore, the complexing properties of representative compounds were also evaluated. Furthermore, the acknowledged biological activity of natural dehydropeptides was the reason to extend the study for antiproliferative action of against several cancer cell lines. The synthetic strategy involves glycyl and phenylalanyl-(Z)-β-bromodehydroalanine as a substrate in one pot addition/elimination reaction of thiols. After deprotection of N-terminal amino group the compounds with triazole ring were tested as complexones for copper(II) ions using potentiometric titration and spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis, CD, EPR). Finally, the antiproliferative activity was evaluated by sulforhodamine B assay. A simple and efficient procedure for preparation of dipeptides containing S-substituded dehydrocysteine was provided. The peptides containing triazole appeared to be strong complexones of copper(II) ions. Some of the peptides exhibited promising antiproliferative activities against number of cancer cell lines, including cell lines resistant to widely used anticancer agent.

Efficient synthesis of Fmoc-protected phosphinic pseudodipeptides: Building blocks for the synthesis of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors.

Project description:A convenient route for the synthesis of Fmoc-protected phosphinic dipeptide building blocks is described. The protected amino acid isosteres benzyloxycarbonyl aminomethyl phosphinic acid (glycine surrogate), benzyl ?-isopropyl acrylate (valine surrogate), and benzyl ?-isobutyl acrylate (leucine surrogate) were synthesized starting from commercially available materials. Reaction of either the valine or leucine surrogate with bis(trimethylsilyl) phosphonite generated the pseudodipeptide bond. The synthesis concluded with an efficient one-pot three-step procedure involving a bis-deprotection of the N- and C-termini under catalytic hydrogenation conditions followed by selective capping of the N-terminus with an Fmoc group to yield either Fmoc-NHCH(2) PO(OAd)CH(2) CH(Pr(i) )CO(2) H or Fmoc-NHCH(2) PO(OAd)CH(2) CH(Bu(i) )CO(2) H.

Synthesis of 9-Substituted Triptycene Building Blocks for Solid-Phase Diversification and Nucleic Acid Junction Targeting.

Project description:Triptycenes have been shown to bind nucleic acid three-way junctions, but rapid and efficient methods to diversify the triptycene core are lacking. An efficient synthesis of a 9-substituted triptycene scaffold is reported that can be used as a building block for solid-phase peptide synthesis and rapid diversification. The triptycene building block was diversified to produce a new class of tripeptide-triptycenes, and their binding abilities toward d(CAG)·(CTG) repeat junctions were investigated.

Inhalation of ortho-phthalaldehyde vapor causes respiratory sensitization in mice.

Project description:Ortho-Phthalaldehyde (OPA) has been approved for high-level sterilization of heat-sensitive medical instruments and is increasingly being used as a replacement in the healthcare industry for glutaraldehyde, a known sensitizer. Numerous case reports have been published indicating workers and patients experiencing respiratory problems, anaphylaxis, skin reactivity, and systemic antibody production. Our laboratory previously demonstrated that OPA is a dermal sensitizer in mice. The goal of the present study was to determine if OPA is a respiratory sensitizer following inhalation exposure. Mice were exposed to OPA vapor and airway and lymph nodes were examined for cytokine gene expression and alterations in lymphocyte populations. Inhalation of OPA for 3 days resulted in a concentration-dependent increase in lymphocyte proliferation, mainly B lymphocytes, in the draining lymph nodes. A secondary challenge of mice with OPA resulted in a dramatic increase in the population of B lymphocytes expressing IgE. Expression of Th2 (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) and anti/proinflammatory (IL-10, TNFα, and IL-1β) cytokine genes was upregulated in the lymph nodes and the nasal mucosa. Mice exposed to the higher concentrations of OPA-produced OPA-specific IgG(1) antibodies indicating systemic sensitization. These findings provide evidence that OPA has the potential to cause respiratory sensitization in mice.

2-Substituted dATP Derivatives as Building Blocks for Polymerase-Catalyzed Synthesis of DNA Modified in the Minor Groove.

Project description:2'-Deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP) derivatives bearing diverse substituents (Cl, NH2 , CH3 , vinyl, ethynyl, and phenyl) at position 2 were prepared and tested as substrates for DNA polymerases. The 2-phenyl-dATP was not a substrate for DNA polymerases, but the dATPs bearing smaller substituents were good substrates in primer-extension experiments, producing DNA substituted in the minor groove. The vinyl-modified DNA was applied in thiol-ene addition and the ethynyl-modified DNA was applied in a CuAAC click reaction to form DNA labelled with fluorescent dyes in the minor groove.

Diverse N-Substituted Azole-Containing Amino Acids as Building Blocks for Cyclopeptides.

Project description:The preparation of 16 oxazole- or thiazole-containing amino esters bearing a wide array of N-substitution is reported. These were accessed in 40-92% yield via an AgClO4-promoted substitution reaction between a primary amine and a chloromethyl-functionalized thiazole or oxazole. These new synthetic building blocks will be useful for the preparation of new cyclopeptide analogues bearing heterocyclic backbone modifications. Four macrocyclic N-substituted oligoamides that include thiazole or oxazole heterocycles were obtained, following cyclooligomerization reactions of azole-modified N-substituted amino acids.

Ribozyme-catalysed RNA synthesis using triplet building blocks.

Project description:RNA-catalyzed RNA replication is widely believed to have supported a primordial biology. However, RNA catalysis is dependent upon RNA folding, and this yields structures that can block replication of such RNAs. To address this apparent paradox, we have re-examined the building blocks used for RNA replication. We report RNA-catalysed RNA synthesis on structured templates when using trinucleotide triphosphates (triplets) as substrates, catalysed by a general and accurate triplet polymerase ribozyme that emerged from in vitro evolution as a mutualistic RNA heterodimer. The triplets cooperatively invaded and unraveled even highly stable RNA secondary structures, and support non-canonical primer-free and bidirectional modes of RNA synthesis and replication. Triplet substrates thus resolve a central incongruity of RNA replication, and here allow the ribozyme to synthesise its own catalytic subunit '+' and '-' strands in segments and assemble them into a new active ribozyme.

Diversity-Oriented Enzymatic Synthesis of Cyclopropane Building Blocks.

Project description:While biocatalysis is increasingly incorporated into drug development pipelines, it is less commonly used in the early stages of drug discovery. By engineering a protein to produce a chiral motif with a derivatizable functional handle, biocatalysts can be used to help generate diverse building blocks for drug discovery. Here we show the engineering of two variants of Rhodothermus marinus nitric oxide dioxygenase (RmaNOD) to catalyze the formation of cis- and tran- diastereomers of a pinacolboronate-substituted cyclopropane which can be readily derivatized to generate diverse stereopure cyclopropane building blocks.
