Synthesis and anti-HCMV activity of 1-[?-(phenoxy)alkyl]uracil derivatives and analogues thereof.

ABSTRACT: HCMV infection represents a life-threatening condition for immunocompromised patients and newborn infants and novel anti-HCMV agents are clearly needed. In this regard, a series of 1-[?-(phenoxy)alkyl]uracil derivatives were synthesized and examined for antiviral properties. Compounds 17, 20, 24 and 28 were found to exhibit highly specific and promising inhibitory activity against HCMV replication in HEL cell cultures with EC50 values within 5.5-12?M range. Further studies should be undertaken to elucidate the mechanism of action of these compounds and the structure-activity relationship for the linker region.

Design, synthesis and anticonvulsant-analgesic activity of new <i>N</i>-[(phenoxy)alkyl]- and <i>N</i>-[(phenoxy)ethoxyethyl]aminoalkanols.

Project description:New derivatives of N-[(phenoxy)alkyl]- and N-[(phenoxy)ethoxyethyl]aminoalkanols have been synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity in maximal electroshock (MES), maximal electroshock seizure threshold (MEST), and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) tests. Their neurotoxicity was evaluated via rotarod and chimney tests. The compounds exhibiting the most beneficial activity and protection indices were evaluated for analgesic activity using the formalin test for neurogenic pain. They were also evaluated for their influence on cytotoxic activity using in vitro cellular models (HepG2 and CRL-2534 cell lines). Experiments performed using MTT and neutral red cytotoxicity assays showed that all evaluated compounds were safe for normal, glial cells (astrocytes) and did not induce hepatotoxic effects. Based on the results from the in vitro studies, the safety of the evaluated compounds was inferred. The most promising compound in this research was 1-{2-[2-(2,3-dimethylphenoxy)ethoxy]ethyl}piperidin-3-ol hydrochloride. Additionally, in silico metabolism prediction for the compound has been performed.

Total synthesis, revised structure, and biological evaluation of biyouyanagin A and analogues thereof.

Project description:Isolated from Hypericum species H. chinese L. var. salicifolium, biyouyanagin A was assigned structure 1a or 1b on the basis of NMR spectroscopic analysis. This novel natural product exhibited significant anti-HIV properties and inhibition of lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokine production. Described herein are the total syntheses of biyouyanagin A and several analogues (3-11), structural revision of biyouyanagin A to 2b, and the biological properties of all synthesized compounds. The total synthesis proceeded through cascade sequences that efficiently produced enantiomerically pure key building blocks 15b (ent-zingiberene) and 18 (hyperolactone C) and featured a novel [2 + 2] photoinduced cycloaddition reaction which occurred with complete regio- and stereoselectivity. Biological investigations with the synthesized biyouyangagins A (2-11) and hyperolactones C (12-16) revealed that the activity of biyouyanagin A most likely resides in its hyperolactone C structural domain.

One-Pot Synthesis of α-Alkyl Styrene Derivatives.

Project description:There is a significant need to develop more rapid and efficient routes to styrene derivatives, since they are extensively used in polymer sciences. This manuscript reports a one-pot synthesis of an array of α-alkyl styrene derivatives from readily available natural products (i.e., estragole and safrole). This method is regioselective, producing a rearranged adduct, under transition metal-free conditions. This methodology has broad nucleophile scope, even tolerating sterically hindered nucleophiles; it is general for carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur nucleophiles.

Total synthesis of viridicatumtoxin B and analogues thereof: strategy evolution, structural revision, and biological evaluation.

Project description:The details of the total synthesis of viridicatumtoxin B (1) are described. Initial synthetic strategies toward this intriguing tetracycline antibiotic resulted in the development of key alkylation and Lewis acid-mediated spirocyclization reactions to form the hindered EF spirojunction, as well as Michael-Dieckmann reactions to set the A and C rings. The use of an aromatic A-ring substrate, however, was found to be unsuitable for the introduction of the requisite hydroxyl groups at carbons 4a and 12a. Applying these previous tactics, we developed stepwise approaches to oxidize carbons 12a and 4a based on enol- and enolate-based oxidations, respectively, the latter of which was accomplished after systematic investigations that revealed critical reactivity patterns. The herein described synthetic strategy resulted in the total synthesis of viridicatumtoxin B (1), which, in turn, formed the basis for the revision of its originally assigned structure. The developed chemistry facilitated the synthesis of a series of viridicatumtoxin analogues, which were evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, including drug-resistant pathogens, revealing the first structure-activity relationships within this structural type.

Ring-alkyl connecting group effect on mesogenic properties of p-carborane derivatives and their hydrocarbon analogues.

Project description:The effect of the phenyl-alkyl connecting group on mesogenic properties of several series of isostructural compounds containing p-carborane (A and B), bicyclo[2.2.2]octane (C), and benzene (D) was investigated using thermal and optical methods. Results demonstrated that mesophase stability in the series containing A-D follows the order (Alk)CH₂CH₂- < (Alk)OOC- < (Alk)CH₂O- < (Alk)COO-. Surprisingly, the connecting groups (Alk)CH₂CH₂- and (Alk)OOC- destabilize the mesophase significantly stronger for carboranes (A and B) than for carbocyclic derivatives (C and D). Analysis indicates that this effect may have quadrupolar and conformational origin.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Methoxylated Ether Lipids: Total Synthesis of Polyunsaturated C18:3 Omega-3 and Omega-6 MEL Triene Derivatives.

Project description:The asymmetric synthesis of polyunsaturated triene C18:3 n-3 and C18:3 n-6 methoxylated ether lipids (MEL) of the 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol type is described as possible structural candidates for a triene C18:3 MEL of an unknown identity found in a mixture of shark and dogfish liver oil. Their C18:3 hydrocarbon chains constitute an all-cis methylene skipped n-3 or n-6 triene framework, along with a methoxyl group at the 2'-position and R-configuration of the resulting stereogenic center. The methoxylated polyenes are attached by an ether linkage to the pro-S hydroxymethyl group of the glycerol backbone. The syntheses were based on the polyacetylene approach that involves a semi-hydrogenation of the resulting triynes. Both syntheses were started from our previously described enantio- and diastereomerically pure isopropylidene-protected glyceryl glycidyl ether, a double-C3 building block that was designed as a head group synthon for the synthesis of various types of MELs.

Scalable Preparation of Enantioenriched (S)-5-methylhept-2-en-4-one. Synthesis and Aroma Properties of Achiral Analogues Thereof.

Project description:(S)-5-Methylhept-2-en-4-one is a key flavour compound in hazelnuts. We have performed its chiral-pool-based chemoenzymatic synthesis with 39% overall yield (73% ee). The four-step aldol-based sequence avoids the use of highly reactive and/or toxic reagents, does not require anhydrous conditions and uses only distillation as the purification method. Thus, such methodology represents a green and scalable alternative to only two stereoselective approaches towards this natural product known so far. In addition, we have designed and prepared a set of new (di)enones as achiral synthetic analogues of the title compound. The results of their sensory analyses clearly show that relatively minor structural changes of the natural molecule significantly alter its olfactory properties. Thus, simple (poly)methylation completely changes the original hazelnut aroma of (S)-5-methylhept-2-en-4-one and shifts the odour of its analogues to eucalyptus, menthol, camphor, and sweet aroma.

Synthesis of New Imidazopyridine Nucleoside Derivatives Designed as Maribavir Analogues.

Project description:The strong inhibition of Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication by benzimidazole nucleosides, like Triciribine and Maribavir, has prompted us to expand the structure-activity relationships of the benzimidazole series, using as a central core the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine scaffold. We have thus synthesized a number of novel amino substituted imidazopyridine nucleoside derivatives, which can be considered as 4-(or 7)-aza-d-isosters of Maribavir and have evaluated their potential antiviral activity. The target compounds were synthesized upon glycosylation of suitably substituted 2-aminoimidazopyridines, which were prepared in six steps starting from 2-amino-6-chloropyridine. Even if the new compounds possessed only a slight structural modification when compared to the original drug, they were not endowed with interesting antiviral activity. Even so, three derivatives showed promising cytotoxic potential.

Synthesis and cytostatic evaluation of 4-N-alkanoyl and 4-N-alkyl gemcitabine analogues.

Project description:The coupling of gemcitabine with functionalized carboxylic acids (C9-C13) or reactions of 4-N-tosylgemcitabine with the corresponding alkyl amines afforded 4-N-alkanoyl and 4-N-alkyl gemcitabine derivatives. The analogues with a terminal hydroxyl group on the alkyl chain were efficiently fluorinated under conditions that are compatible with protocols for (18)F labeling. The 4-N-alkanoylgemcitabines showed potent cytostatic activities in the low nanomolar range against a panel of tumor cell lines, whereas cytotoxicity of the 4-N-alkylgemcitabines were in the low micromolar range. The cytotoxicity for the 4-N-alkanoylgemcitabine analogues was reduced approximately by 2 orders of magnitude in the 2'-deoxycytidine kinase (dCK)-deficient CEM/dCK(-) cell line, whereas cytotoxicity of the 4-N-alkylgemcitabines was only 2-5 times lower. None of the compounds acted as efficient substrates for cytosolic dCK; therefore, the 4-N-alkanoyl analogues need to be converted first to gemcitabine to display a significant cytostatic potential, whereas 4-N-alkyl derivatives attain modest activity without measurable conversion to gemcitabine.

Chemical synthesis and biological activities of 3-alkyl pyridinium polymeric analogues of marine toxins.

Project description:UnlabelledTwo new large poly-1,3-dodecylpyridinium salts, APS12 and APS12-2 of 12.5- and 14.7-kDa size, respectively, were synthesised and tested for their pore-forming and transfection capabilities in HEK 293 and undifferentiated mouse ES cells using patch-clamp recording, Ca(2+) imaging and flow cytometry. Polymerisation reactions were enhanced by microwaves, and the product sizes were controlled by altering the irradiation time. This method can also be applied to obtain polymers with variable linking chains as shown by the preparation of poly-(1,3-octylpyridinium) salt of 11.9-kDa size. Molecular weights of the final products were determined using ESIMS analysis, which also indicated the products to be amongst the largest macro-cycles ever recorded, up to a 900-membered ring. Anti-bacterial, haemolytic and anti-acetylcholinesterase activities were also reported for the two dodecyl pyridinium polymers. These biological activities are characteristic to the structurally related marine toxin, poly-APS.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s12154-010-0036-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
