Amide Bond Bioisosteres: Strategies, Synthesis, and Successes.

ABSTRACT: The amide functional group plays a key role in the composition of biomolecules, including many clinically approved drugs. Bioisosterism is widely employed in the rational modification of lead compounds, being used to increase potency, enhance selectivity, improve pharmacokinetic properties, eliminate toxicity, and acquire novel chemical space to secure intellectual property. The introduction of a bioisostere leads to structural changes in molecular size, shape, electronic distribution, polarity, pK_a, dipole or polarizability, which can be either favorable or detrimental to biological activity. This approach has opened up new avenues in drug design and development resulting in more efficient drug candidates introduced onto the market as well as in the clinical pipeline. Herein, we review the strategic decisions in selecting an amide bioisostere (the why), synthetic routes to each (the how), and success stories of each bioisostere (the implementation) to provide a comprehensive overview of this important toolbox for medicinal chemists.

Instability of Amide Bond with Trifluoroacetic Acid (20%): Synthesis, Conformational Analysis, and Mechanistic Insights into Cleavable Amide Bond Comprising β-Troponylhydrazino Acid.

Project description:The instability of an amide bond with dilute trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a rare chemical event. The native amide bonds are stable even in the neat TFA, which is one of the reagents that releases the peptides from the solid support in the solid-supported peptide synthesis method. In the repertoire of unnatural peptidomics, α-/β-hydrazino acids and their peptides are explored for the synthesis of N-amino peptide derivatives, and their amide bonds are stable in TFA (∼100%) as natural amide bonds. This report describes the synthesis of a β-hydrazino acid analogue as β-troponylhydrazino acid, containing a nonbenzenoid natural troponyl scaffold. The structural and conformational studies of their hybrid di-/tripeptides with the natural amino acid show that the 2-aminotroponyl residue is involved in hydrogen bonding. Surprisingly, the amide bond of β-troponylhydrazino peptides is cleavable with TFA (∼20%) through the formation of a new heterocyclic molecule N-troponylpyrazolidinone or troponylpyrazolidinone. Tropolone and related compounds are excellent biocompatible chromophores. Hence, β-troponylhydrazino acid could be employed for tuning the peptide structure and considered a promising chromophoric acid-sensitive protecting group of a free amine of amino acids/peptides. It could be applied for the estimation of the free amine group functionality by a UV-vis spectrophotometer.

Evaluation of Amide Bioisosteres Leading to 1,2,3-Triazole Containing Compounds as GPR88 Agonists: Design, Synthesis, and Structure-Activity Relationship Studies.

Project description:The orphan receptor GPR88 has been implicated in a number of striatal-associated disorders, yet its endogenous ligand has not been discovered. We have previously reported that the amine functionality in the 2-AMPP-derived GPR88 agonists can be replaced with an amide (e.g., 4) without losing activity. Later, we have found that the amide can be replaced with a bioisosteric 1,3,4-oxadiazole with improved potency. Here, we report a further study of amide bioisosteric replacement with a variety of azoles containing three heteroatoms, followed by a focused structure-activity relationship study, leading to the discovery of a series of novel 1,4-disubstituted 1H-1,2,3-triazoles as GPR88 agonists. Collectively, our medicinal chemistry efforts have resulted in a potent, efficacious, and brain-penetrant GPR88 agonist 53 (cAMP EC50 = 14 nM), which is a suitable probe to study GPR88 functions in the brain.

One-Step Biocatalytic Synthesis of Sustainable Surfactants by Selective Amide Bond Formation.

Project description:N-alkanoyl-N-methylglucamides (MEGAs) are non-toxic surfactants widely used as commercial ingredients, but more sustainable syntheses towards these compounds are highly desirable. Here, we present a biocatalytic route towards MEGAs and analogues using a truncated carboxylic acid reductase construct tailored for amide bond formation (CARmm-A). CARmm-A is capable of selective amide bond formation without the competing esterification reaction observed in lipase catalysed reactions. A kinase was implemented to regenerate ATP from polyphosphate and by thorough reaction optimisation using design of experiments, the amine concentration needed for amidation was significantly reduced. The wide substrate scope of CARmm-A was exemplified by the synthesis of 24 commercially relevant amides, including selected examples on a preparative scale. This work establishes acyl-phosphate mediated chemistry as a highly selective strategy for biocatalytic amide bond formation in the presence of multiple competing alcohol functionalities.

Near-Ambient-Temperature Dehydrogenative Synthesis of the Amide Bond: Mechanistic Insight and Applications.

Project description:The current existing methods for the amide bond synthesis via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of amines and alcohols all require high reaction temperatures for effective catalysis, typically involving reflux in toluene, limiting their potential practical applications. Herein, we report a system for this reaction that proceeds under mild conditions (reflux in diethyl ether, boiling point 34.6 °C) using ruthenium PNNH complexes. The low-temperature activity stems from the ability of Ru-PNNH complexes to activate alcohol and hemiaminals at near-ambient temperatures through the assistance of the terminal N-H proton. Mechanistic studies reveal the presence of an unexpected aldehyde-bound ruthenium species during the reaction, which is also the catalytic resting state. We further utilize the low-temperature activity to synthesize several simple amide bond-containing commercially available pharmaceutical drugs from the corresponding amines and alcohols via the dehydrogenative coupling method.

Saccharin Aza Bioisosteres-Synthesis and Preclinical Property Comparisons.

Project description:Saccharin is a well-known scaffold in drug discovery. Herein, we report the synthesis and preclinical property comparisons of three bioisosteres of saccharin: aza-pseudosaccharins (cluster B), and two new types of aza-saccharins (clusters C and D). We demonstrate a convenient protocol to selectively synthesize products in cluster C or D when primary amines are used. Preclinical characterization of selected matched-pair products is reported. Through comparison of two diastereomers, we highlight how stereochemistry affects the preclinical properties. Given that saccharin-based derivatives are widely used in many chemistry fields, we foresee that structures exemplified by clusters C and D offer new opportunities for novel drug design, creating a chiral center on the sulfur atom and the option of substitution at two different nitrogens.

1,2,3-Triazoles as Amide Bioisosteres: Discovery of a New Class of Potent HIV-1 Vif Antagonists.

Project description:RN-18 based viral infectivity factor (Vif), Vif antagonists reduce viral infectivity by rescuing APOBEC3G (A3G) expression and enhancing A3G-dependent Vif degradation. Replacement of amide functionality in RN-18 (IC50 = 6 ?M) by isosteric heterocycles resulted in the discovery of a 1,2,3-trizole, 1d (IC50 = 1.2 ?M). We identified several potent HIV-1 inhibitors from a 1d based library including 5ax (IC50 = 0.01 ?M), 5bx (0.2 ?M), 2ey (0.4 ?M), 5ey (0.6 ?M), and 6bx (0.2 ?M).

Biocatalytic Synthesis of Moclobemide Using the Amide Bond Synthetase McbA Coupled with an ATP Recycling System.

Project description:The biocatalytic synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids and primary amines in aqueous media can be achieved using the ATP-dependent amide bond synthetase McbA, via an adenylate intermediate, using only 1.5 equiv of the amine nucleophile. Following earlier studies that characterized the broad carboxylic acid specificity of McbA, we now show that, in addition to the natural amine substrate 2-phenylethylamine, a range of simple aliphatic amines, including methylamine, butylamine, and hexylamine, and propargylamine are coupled efficiently to the native carboxylic acid substrate 1-acetyl-9H-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid by the enzyme, to give amide products with up to >99% conversion. The structure of wild-type McbA in its amidation conformation, coupled with modeling and mutational studies, reveal an amine access tunnel and a possible role for residue D201 in amine activation. Amide couplings were slower with anilines and alicyclic secondary amines such as pyrrolidine and piperidine. The broader substrate specificity of McbA was exploited in the synthesis of the monoamine oxidase A inhibitor moclobemide, through the reaction of 4-chlorobenzoic acid with 1.5 equiv of 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine, and utilizing polyphosphate kinases SmPPK and AjPPK in the presence of polyphosphoric acid and 0.1 equiv of ATP, required for recycling of the cofactor.

Design and Synthesis of Novel Helix Mimetics Based on the Covalent H-Bond Replacement and Amide Surrogate.

Project description:A novel hydrogen bond surrogate-based (HBS) α-helix mimetic was designed by the combination of covalent H-bond replacement and the use of an ether linkage to substitute an amide bond within a short peptide sequence. The new helix template could be placed in position other than the N-terminus of a short peptide, and the CD studies demonstrate that the template adopts stable conformations in aqueous buffer at exceptionally high temperatures.

Total synthesis of feglymycin based on a linear/convergent hybrid approach using micro-flow amide bond formation.

Project description:Feglymycin is a naturally occurring, anti-HIV and antimicrobial 13-mer peptide that includes highly racemizable 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycines (Dpgs). Here we describe the total synthesis of feglymycin based on a linear/convergent hybrid approach. Our originally developed micro-flow amide bond formation enabled highly racemizable peptide chain elongation based on a linear approach that was previously considered impossible. Our developed approach will enable the practical preparation of biologically active oligopeptides that contain highly racemizable amino acids, which are attractive drug candidates.
