Expedient on-resin synthesis of peptidic benzimidazoles.

ABSTRACT: The benzimidazole moiety is a ubiquitous pharmacophore present in numerous anthelmintic, antibacterial, antiviral, antineoplastic, and antifungal drugs. While the polypharmacology of this heterocycle has spurred the development of numerous solution-phase syntheses, only a handful of disparate and inefficient methods detailing its synthesis on-resin have been reported. Here we report the concise and expedient syntheses of internal and C-terminal peptidic benzimidazoles - an emerging class of peptide deformylase (PDF)-inhibiting antimicrobials. This method benefits from being performed wholly on solid-phase at room temperature resulting in minimal purification and tolerance of temperature-sensitive functionality.

Expedient on-resin modification of a peptide C-terminus through a benzotriazole linker.

Project description:A convenient and efficient chemical toolbox was developed for the on-resin C-terminal functionalization of various peptides. By transforming resin-bound 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid species with isoamyl nitrite, the resulting resin-bound benzotriazole entity can be efficiently displaced by nucleophiles during cleavage of the peptide-resin connection in a short reaction time. The resin cleavage step allowed for the use of various nucleophiles including water, EtOH, amines, thiol, and G5 poly(amidoamino) dendrimers with yields ranging from 66% to 82% within 5 h. This method was successfully applied to prepare the elastin sequence (VPGVG)4 through on-resin ligation in 77% yield in one day and a head-to-tail cyclic peptide, sunflower trypsin inhibitor-1, in 42% yield.

Expedient enantioselective synthesis of cermizine D.

Project description:An efficient enantioselective synthesis of cermizine D has been developed that exploits the use of a common intermediate to access over 85% of the carbon backbone. Key steps include an organocatalyzed heteroatom Michael addition, a diastereoselective alkylation with ?-iodomethyl phenyl sulfide, a conjugate addition to a vinyl sulfone species, and a sulfone coupling/desulfurization sequence to join the two major subunits.

Expedient synthesis of α-substituted fluoroethenes.

Project description:A mild and efficient synthesis of 1-aryl-1-fluoroethenes from benzothiazolyl (aryl)fluoromethyl sulfones and paraformaldehyde, under DBU- or Cs(2)CO(3)-mediated conditions at room temperature, is described. A comparable diethyl fluoro(naphthalen-2-yl)methylphosphonate reagent does not react with paraformaldehyde under these mild conditions. The utility of the methodology for synthesis of terminal α-fluoroalkenes bearing electron-withdrawing functionalities is also shown.

Synthesis of N-alkoxy-substituted 2H-benzimidazoles.

Project description:Treatment of 2-nitro-N-(2-methyl-1-propen-1-yl)benzenamines with potassium tert-butoxide in tert-butanol followed by the addition of an electrophile affords N-alkoxy-2H-benzimidazoles. Electrophiles including methyl iodide, allylic bromides, propargylic bromides, benzyl bromide, and acetyl chloride gave good to excellent yields of product while 1-iodo- and 2-iodo-butane afforded very low yields.

Expedient Synthesis of SMAMPs via Click Chemistry.

Project description:A novel series of synthetic mimics of antimicrobial peptides (SMAMPs) containing triazole linkers were assembled using click chemistry. While only moderately active in buffer alone, an increase in antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was observed when these SMAMPs were administered in the presence of mouse serum. One compound had minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 0.39 μg/mL and 6.25 μg/mL, respectively, and an HC50 of 693 μg/mL. These values compared favorably to peptide-based antimicrobials. A correlation between the net positive charge and SMAMP antimicrobial activity was observed. The triazole linker, an amide surrogate, was found to provide better antimicrobial activity against both S. aureus and E. coli when compared to other analogues.

Copper-Promoted One-Pot Approach: Synthesis of Benzimidazoles.

Project description:A facile, one-pot, and proficient method was developed for the production of various 2-arylaminobenzimidazoles. This methodology is based for the first time on a copper catalyst promoted domino C-N cross-coupling reaction for the generation of 2-arylaminobenzimidazoles. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the synthetic pathway involves a copper-based desulphurization/nucleophilic substitution and a subsequent domino intra and intermolecular C-N cross-coupling reactions. Some of the issues typically encountered during the synthesis of 2-arylaminobezimidazoles, including the use of expensive catalytic systems and the low reactivity of bromo precursors, were addressed using this newly developed copper-catalyzed method. The reaction procedure is simple, generally with excellent substrate tolerance, and provides good to high yields of the desired products.

General and expedient synthesis of 1,4-dioxygenated xanthones.

Project description:A facile entry to 1,4-dioxygenated xanthones having a variety of substitution patterns and substituents was developed that features a novel application of the Moore cyclization using substrates that were readily assembled in a highly convergent fashion by an acetylide stitching process. The practical utility of the methodology was demonstrated by an efficient synthesis of a naturally occurring xanthone and correction of the structure of dulcisxanthone C.

Expedient synthesis of a modular phosphate affinity reagent.

Project description:Isolation and identification of phosphorylated macromolecules is essential for the deconvolution of most biological regulatory networks. Koike and co-workers recently reported the application of a dinuclear zinc-(pyridylmethyl)amine complex to phosphate-specific affinity purifications and gave it the shorthand name "phos-tag". This complex is valuable for studying phosphorylation because it binds selectively to phosphate dianion in the presence of acidic functional groups at physiological pH, and because the binding is largely independent of molecular context. These properties of phos-tag recommend it for applications in phosphoproteomics, metabolomics, and nucleic acid biology. The catch has been that the molecule is difficult to make and prohibitively expensive to buy. Here, we describe an efficient and inexpensive synthesis of a phos-tag derivative with a versatile alkyne handle. The alkyne handle allows for attachment of phos-tag to alkyl azides via the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction ("click chemistry"). We characterize the phosphate binding behavior of the new phos-tag derivative in a variety of experimental assays, including its conjugation to a fluorescent reporter, to acrylamide gels, and to sepharose chromatography resin. The synthesis we report should enable a broader use of phos-tag for phosphate-related biochemistry, as both an analytical and a preparative reagent.

Expedient synthesis of electronically modified luciferins for bioluminescence imaging.

Project description:Bioluminescence imaging with luciferase enzymes requires access to light-emitting, small-molecule luciferins. Here, we describe a rapid method to synthesize d-luciferin, the substrate for firefly luciferase (Fluc), along with a novel set of electronically modified analogues. Our procedure utilizes a relatively rare, but synthetically useful dithiazolium reagent to generate heteroaromatic scaffolds in a divergent fashion. Two of the luciferin analogues produced with this approach emit light with Fluc in vitro and in live cells. Collectively, our work increases the number of substrates that can be used for bioluminescence imaging and provides a general strategy for synthesizing new collections of luciferins.
