Toward Soluble 5,10-Diheterotruxenes: Synthesis and Reactivity of 5,10-Dioxatruxenes, 5,10-Dithiatruxenes, and 5,10-Diazatruxenes.

ABSTRACT: The following work presents three general approaches allowing, for the first time, the synthesis of 5,10-diheterotruxene derivatives containing two identical heteroatoms, namely, oxygen OOC, nitrogen NNC, or sulfur SSC. Two of described pathways involve the photocyclization of the corresponding triene 2 as a key step leading to a heptacyclic aromatic system. The third approach is based on the acidic condensation between ninhydrin 14 and benzo[b]heteroole 15. Typical functionalizations of the 5,10-diheterotruxene core have also been presented. In addition, the article discusses the advantages and limitations of the three suggested paths for receiving specific 5,10-diheterotruxene derivatives because the universal method suitable for obtaining molecules with any type of heteroatoms is not known so far.

Synthesis of Catechol Derived Rosamine Dyes and Their Reactivity toward Biogenic Amines.

Project description:Functional organic dyes play a key role in many fields, namely in biotechnology and medical diagnosis. Herein, we report two novel 2,3- and 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl substituted rosamines (3 and 4, respectively) that were successfully synthesized through a microwave-assisted protocol. The best reaction yields were obtained for rosamine 4, which also showed the most interesting photophysical properties, specially toward biogenic amines (BAs). Several amines including n- and t-butylamine, cadaverine, and putrescine cause spectral changes of 4, in UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra, which are indicative of their potential application as an effective tool to detect amines in acetonitrile solutions. In the gas phase, the probe response is more expressive for spermine and putrescine. Additionally, we found that methanolic solutions of rosamine 4 and n-butylamine undergo a pink to yellow color change over time, which has been attributed to the formation of a new compound. The latter was isolated and identified as 5 (9-aminopyronin), whose solutions exhibit a remarkable increase in fluorescence intensity together with a shift toward more energetic wavelengths. Other 9-aminopyronins 6a, 6b, 7a, and 7b were obtained from methanolic solutions of 4 with putrescine and cadaverine, demonstrating the potential of this new xanthene entity to react with primary amines.

Synthesis and Anticancer Properties of Water-Soluble Zinc Ionophores 2

Project description:We have demonstrated that water-soluble zinc ionophores can be administered to mice at relatively high doses and inhibit the growth of A549 lung cancer cells grown in xenograft models. Gene expression profiles of tumor specimens harvested from mice four hours after treatment confirmed that the activation of stress responsive genes occurs in vivo. These findings lead us to propose that the pharmacologic delivery of zinc to tumors using water solubilized ionophores is a potential approach to cancer therapy. Keywords: Dose response

Synthesis and Anticancer Properties of Water-Soluble Zinc Ionophores 1

Project description:We have shown that water solubilized versions of a zinc ionophore increase intracellular concentrations of free zinc and have antiproliferative activity in exponential phase A549 lung cancer cultures. The gene expression profiles of A549 lung cancer cultures treated with the lead compound PCI-5002 reveal the activation of stress response pathways. Medium supplementation with zinc (25 μM) led to activation of additional oxidative stress response as well as apoptotic pathways. We propose that the pharmacologic delivery of zinc to tumors using water solubilized ionophores is a potential approach to cancer therapy. Keywords: Dose response

PABA/NO as an anticancer lead: analogue synthesis, structure revision, solution chemistry, reactivity toward glutathione, and in vitro activity.

Project description:PABA/NO is a diazeniumdiolate of structure Me(2)NN(O)=NOAr (where Ar is a 5-substituted-2,4-dinitrophenyl ring whose 5-substituent is N-methyl-p-aminobenzoic acid). It has shown activity against human ovarian cancer xenografts in mice rivaling that of cisplatin, but it is poorly soluble and relatively unstable in water. Here we report structure-based optimization efforts resulting in three analogues with improved solubility and stability in aqueous solution. We sought to explain PABA/NO's physicochemical uniqueness among these four compounds, whose aminobenzoic acid precursors differ structurally only in the presence or absence of the N-methyl group and/or the position of the carboxyl moiety (meta or para). Studies revealed that PABA/NO's N-methyl-p-aminobenzoic acid substituent is bound to the dinitrobenzene ring via its carboxyl oxygen while the other three are linked through the aniline nitrogen. This constitutes a revision of the previously published PABA/NO structure. All four analogues reacted with GSH to produce bioactive nitric oxide (NO), but PABA/NO was the most reactive. Consistent with PABA/NO's potent suppression of A2780 human ovarian cancer xenograft growth in mice, it was the most potent of the four in the OVCAR-3 cell line.

Inhibition of 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase.

Project description:The interaction of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate analogs with murine methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (MTHFS) was investigated using steady-state kinetics, molecular modeling, and site-directed mutagenesis. MTHFS catalyzes the irreversible cyclization of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate to 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate. Folate analogs that cannot undergo the rate-limiting step in catalysis were inhibitors of murine MTHFS. 5-Formyltetrahydrohomofolate was an effective inhibitor of murine MTHFS (K(i)=0.7 microM), whereas 5-formyl,10-methyltetrahydrofolate was a weak inhibitor (K(i)=10 microM). The former, but not the latter, was slowly phosphorylated by MTHFS. 5-Formyltetrahydrohomofolate was not a substrate for murine MTHFS, but was metabolized when the MTHFS active site Y151 was mutated to Ala. MTHFS active site residues do not directly facilitate N10 attack on the on the N5-iminium phosphate intermediate, but rather restrict N10 motion around N5. Inhibitors specifically designed to block N10 attack appear to be less effective than the natural 10-formyltetrahydrofolate polyglutamate inhibitors.

Tuning SpyTag-SpyCatcher mutant pairs toward orthogonal reactivity encryption.

Project description:Genetically encoded covalent peptide tagging technology, such as the SpyTag-SpyCatcher reaction, has emerged as a unique way to do chemistry with proteins. Herein, we report the reactivity engineering of SpyTag-SpyCatcher mutant pairs and show that distinct reactivity can be encrypted for the same reaction based on protein sequences of high similarity. Valuable features, including high selectivity, inverse temperature dependence and (nearly) orthogonal reactivity, could be achieved based on as few as three mutations. This demonstrates the robustness of the SpyTag-SpyCatcher reaction and the plasticity of its sequence specificity, pointing to a family of engineered protein chemistry tools.

Reactivity of diphenylpropynone derivatives toward metal-associated amyloid-? species.

Project description:In Alzheimer's disease (AD), metal-associated amyloid-? (metal-A?) species have been suggested to be involved in neurotoxicity; however, their role in disease development is still unclear. To elucidate this aspect, chemical reagents have been developed as valuable tools for targeting metal-A? species, modulating the interaction between the metal and A?, and subsequently altering metal-A? reactivity. Herein, we report the design, preparation, characterization, and reactivity of two diphenylpropynone derivatives (DPP1 and DPP2) composed of structural moieties for metal chelation and A? interaction (bifunctionality). The interactions of these compounds with metal ions and A? species were confirmed by UV-vis, NMR, mass spectrometry, and docking studies. The effects of these bifunctional molecules on the control of in vitro metal-free and metal-induced A? aggregation were investigated and monitored by gel electrophoresis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Both DPP1 and DPP2 showed reactivity toward metal-A? species over metal-free A? species to different extents. In particular, DPP2, which contains a dimethylamino group, exhibited greater reactivity with metal-A? species than DPP1, suggesting a structure-reactivity relationship. Overall, our studies present a new bifunctional scaffold that could be utilized to develop chemical reagents for investigating metal-A? species in AD.

Laccase/Mediator Systems: Their Reactivity toward Phenolic Lignin Structures.

Project description:Laccase-mediator systems (LMS) have been widely studied for their capacity to oxidize the nonphenolic subunits of lignin (70-90% of the polymer). The phenolic subunits (10-30% of the polymer), which can also be oxidized without mediators, have received considerably less attention. Consequently, it remains unclear to what extent the presence of a mediator influences the reactions of the phenolic subunits of lignin. To get more insight in this, UHPLC-MS was used to study the reactions of a phenolic lignin dimer (GBG), initiated by a laccase from Trametes versicolor, alone or in combination with the mediators HBT and ABTS. The role of HBT was negligible, as its oxidation by laccase occurred slowly in comparison to that of GBG. Laccase and laccase/HBT oxidized GBG at a comparable rate, resulting in extensive polymerization of GBG. In contrast, laccase/ABTS converted GBG at a higher rate, as GBG was oxidized both directly by laccase but also by ABTS radical cations, which were rapidly formed by laccase. The laccase/ABTS system resulted in C? oxidation of GBG and coupling of ABTS to GBG, rather than polymerization of GBG. Based on these results, we propose reaction pathways of phenolic lignin model compounds with laccase/HBT and laccase/ABTS.

Synthesis and reactivity of dibenzoselenacycloheptynes.

Project description:Dibenzoselenacycloheptynes were prepared in three steps from commercially available reagents and trapped in situ with benzyl azide to form the corresponding triazoles. Surprisingly, the dibenzoselenacycloheptynes also abstracted hydrogen atoms from solvents such as THF or toluene, forming dibenzoselenacycloheptene products. These alkenyl compounds arise from a hydrogen transfer reaction from solvent to the unisolable intermediate, and we postulate that the reaction proceeds via a radical mechanism originating from the strained alkynyl bond that has unusually high radical character.

Synthesis and Reactivity of Triazaphenanthrenes.

Project description:Pyridonaphthyridines (triazaphenanthrenes) were prepared in 4 steps and in 13-52% overall yield using Negishi cross-couplings between iodopicolines and 2-chloro-pyridylzinc derivatives. After chlorination, Gabriel amination and spontaneous ring-closure, the final aromatization leading to the triazaphenanthrenes was achieved with chloranil. This heterocyclic scaffold underwent a nucleophilic addition at position 6 leading to further functionalized pyridonaphthyridines. The influence of these chemical modifications on the optical properties was studied by steady-state and time-resolved optical spectroscopy. While the thiophene-substituted heterocycles exhibited the most extended absorption, the phenyl- and furan-substituted compounds showed a stronger photoluminescence, reaching above 20% quantum yield and lifetimes of several nanoseconds.
