Synthesis of Piperidine Nucleosides as Conformationally Restricted Immucillin Mimics.

ABSTRACT: The de novo synthesis of piperidine nucleosides from our homologating agent 5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin is herein reported. The structure and conformation of nucleosides were conceived to faithfully resemble the well-known nucleoside drugs Immucillins H and A in their bioactive conformation. NMR analysis of the synthesized compounds confirmed that they adopt an iminosugar conformation bearing the nucleobases and the hydroxyl groups in the appropriate orientation.

Stereocontrolled Synthesis of α-Xylofuranosides Using a Conformationally Restricted Donor.

Project description:A number of biologically relevant glycoconjugates possess 1,2- cis-furanosidic linkages, a class of glycosidic bond that remains challenging to introduce with high stereoselectivity. In this paper, we report an approach to one family of such linkages, α-xylofuranosides, via the use of thioglycoside donors possessing a conformationally restricting xylylene protecting group. The method was shown to provide the desired targets in good to excellent yield and stereoselectivity. Computational investigations support the proposal that the protecting group locks the electrophilic intermediate in these reactions into a conformation that leads to the high selectivity. The power of the methodology was demonstrated through the synthesis of a complex hexasaccharide motif from lipoarabinomannan, an immunomodulatory polysaccharide from mycobacteria.

Polypharmacology of conformationally locked methanocarba nucleosides.

Project description:A single molecular scaffold can be adapted to interact with diverse targets, either separately or simultaneously. Nucleosides and nucleotides in which ribose is substituted with bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane are an example of a versatile drug-like scaffold for increasing selectivity at their classical targets: kinases, polymerases, adenosine and P2 receptors. Also, by applying structure-based functional group manipulations, rigidified adenosine derivatives can be repurposed to satisfy pharmacophoric requirements of various GPCRs, ion channels, enzymes and transporters, initially detected as off-target activities. Recent examples include 5HT2B serotonin receptor antagonists and novel dopamine transporter allosteric modulators. This directable target diversity establishes rigid nucleosides as privileged scaffolds.

Synthesis of conformationally North-locked pyrimidine nucleosides built on an oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane scaffold.

Project description:Beginning with a known 3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane scaffold (I), the relocation of the fused cyclopropane ring bond and the shifting of the oxygen atom to an alternative location engendered a new 2-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane template (II) that mimics more closely the tetrahydrofuran ring of conventional nucleosides. The synthesis of this new class of locked nucleosides involved a novel approach that required the isocyanate II (B = NCO) with a hydroxyl-protected scaffold as a pivotal intermediate that was obtained in 11 steps from a known dihydrofuran precursor. The completion of the nucleobases was successfully achieved by quenching the isocyanate with the lithium salts of the corresponding acrylic amides that led to the uracil and thymidine precursors in a single step. Ring closure of these intermediates led to the target, locked nucleosides. The anti-HIV activity of 29 (uridine analogue), 31 (thymidine analogue), and 34 (cytidine analogue) was explored in human osteosarcoma (HOS) cells or modified HOS cells (HOS-313) expressing the herpes simplex virus 1 thymidine kinase (HSV-1 TK). Only the cytidine analogue showed moderate activity in HOS-313 cells, which means that the compounds are not good substrates for the cellular kinases.

Synthesis and SAR of conformationally restricted inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase.

Project description:A series of conformationally restricted inhibitors of human soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) has been developed. Inhibition potency of the described compounds ranges from 4.2 microM to 1.1 nM against recombinant sEH. N-(1-Acetylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(adamant-1-yl) urea (5a) was found to be a potent inhibitor (IC(50) = 7.0 nM) that was also orally bioavailable in canines.

Synthesis of 1-deoxysphingosine derivatives with conformationally restricted pyrrolidinediol head groups.

Project description:[structure: see text] A family of cyclic 1-deoxysphingolipid derivatives of structure 4 has been designed and synthesized, which may serve as tumorigenesis suppressors for various cancers. Compound 4 is a second-generation analogue developed from sphingosine (1), in which a hydroxyl substituent is moved from C1 to C5 and a methylene is added for conformational rigidity between the C2-nitrogen substituent and C4. The synthetic chemistry for pyrrolidine ring closure at C3-C4 features ring-closing metathesis followed by hydroboration-oxidation.

Conformationally restricted calpain inhibitors.

Project description:The cysteine protease calpain-I is linked to several diseases and is therefore a valuable target for inhibition. Selective inhibition of calpain-I has proved difficult as most compounds target the active site and inhibit a broad spectrum of cysteine proteases as well as other calpain isoforms. Selective inhibitors might not only be potential drugs but should act as tools to explore the physiological and pathophysiological roles of calpain-I. α-Mercaptoacrylic acid based calpain inhibitors are potent, cell permeable and selective inhibitors of calpain-I and calpain-II. These inhibitors target the calcium binding domain PEF(S) of calpain-I and -II. Here X-ray diffraction analysis of co-crystals of PEF(S) revealed that the disulfide form of an α-mercaptoacrylic acid bound within a hydrophobic groove that is also targeted by a calpastatin inhibitory region and made a greater number of favourable interactions with the protein than the reduced sulfhydryl form. Measurement of the inhibitory potency of the α-mercaptoacrylic acids and X-ray crystallography revealed that the IC50 values decreased significantly on oxidation as a consequence of the stereo-electronic properties of disulfide bonds that restrict rotation around the S-S bond. Consequently, thioether analogues inhibited calpain-I with potencies similar to those of the free sulfhydryl forms of α-mercaptoacrylic acids.

Synthesis of conformationally locked L-deoxythreosyl phosphonate nucleosides built on a bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane template.

Project description:Two conformationally locked versions of l-deoxythreosyl phosphonate nucleosides (2 and 3) were synthesized to investigate the preference of HIV reverse transcriptase for a conformation displaying either a fully diaxial or fully diequatorial disposition of substituents. Synthesis of the enantiomeric 4-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)bicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-ol carbocyclic nucleoside precursors (diaxially disposed) proceeded straightforwardly from commercially available (1R,4S)-4-hydroxy-2-cyclopent-2-enyl-1-yl acetate employing a hydroxyl-directed Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation that culminated with a Mitsunobu coupling of the purine base. For the more complicated 1-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)bicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-3-ol carbocyclic nucleoside precursors (diequatorially disposed), the obligatory linear approach required the syntheses of key 1-aminobicyclo[3.1.0.]hexan-3-yl benzoate precursors that were assembled via the amide variant of the Kulinkovich reaction involving the intramolecular cyclopropanation of a substituted δ-vinylamide. Completion of the purine ring was achieved by conventional approaches but with much improved yields through the use of a microwave reactor. The syntheses of the phosphonates and the corresponding diphosphates were achieved by conventional means. None of the diphosphates, which were supposed to act as nucleoside triphosphate mimics, could compete with dATP even when present in a 10-fold excess.

Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of conformationally restricted bicyclic hexahydroisobenzofuran nucleoside analogs.

Project description:A chiral synthesis of a series of hexahydroisobenzofuran (HIBF) nucleosides has been accomplished via glycosylation of a stereo-defined (syn-isomer) sugar motif 16 with the appropriate silylated bases. All nucleoside analogs were obtained in 52-71% yield as a mixture of alpha- and beta-anomeric products increasing the breadth of the novel nucleosides available for screening. The structure of the novel bicyclic HIBF nucleosides was established by a single crystal X-ray structure of the beta-HIBF thymine analog 22b. Furthermore, the sugar conformation for these nucleosides was established as N-type. Among the novel HIBF nucleosides synthesized, twenty-five compounds were tested as inhibitor of HIV-1 in human peripheral blood mononuclear (PBM) cells and seven were found to be active (EC(50) = 12.3-36.2 microM). Six of these compounds were purine analogs with beta-HIBF inosine analog 22o being the most potent (EC(50) = 12.3 microM) among all compounds tested. The striking resemblance between didanosine (ddI) and 22o may explain the potent anti-HIV activity.

Stereoselectivity of Conformationally Restricted Glucosazide Donors.

Project description:Glycosylations of 4,6-tethered glucosazide donors with a panel of model acceptors revealed the effect of acceptor nucleophilicity on the stereoselectivity of these donors. The differences in reactivity among the donors were evaluated in competitive glycosylation reactions, and their relative reactivities were found to be reflected in the stereoselectivity in glycosylations with a set of fluorinated alcohols as well as carbohydrate acceptors. We found that the 2-azido-2-deoxy moiety is more β-directing than its C-2-O-benzyl counterpart, as a consequence of increased destabilization of anomeric charge development by the electron-withdrawing azide. Additional disarming groups further decreased the α-selectivity of the studied donors, whereas substitution of the 4,6-benzylidene acetal with a 4,6-di-tert-butyl silylidene led to a slight increase in α-selectivity. The C-2-dinitropyridone group was also explored as an alternative for the nonparticipating azide group, but this protecting group significantly increased β-selectivity. All studied donors exhibited the same acceptor-dependent selectivity trend, and good α-selectivity could be obtained with the weakest acceptors and most reactive donors.

Conformationally restricted benzothienoazepine respiratory syncytial virus inhibitors: their synthesis, structural analysis and biological activities.

Project description:Atropisomeric drug substances are known to have different biological properties. Compounds containing the N-benzoylbenzazepine motif have been shown to exhibit energetically restricted rotation around the Ar(CO)N axis. Herein we report, for the first time, the synthesis, physical characterisation and anti-viral profiles of a series of C-4 and C-5 methylated thieno-benzazepines. NMR analysis reveals that incorporation of a single additional substituent at either of these loci influences the conformational dynamics of the azepine ring system. In the case of the C-5 alkyl analogues, the influence of the new stereocentre is so pronounced that its absolute configuration determines which unique atropisomer is obtained following the generation of the benzazepine nucleus. Screening of the alkylated derivatives for their anti-respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) activity indicates that the desired viral pathogenicity is strongly associated with the conformation adopted by the modified tricyclic scaffolds. This is particularly evident in the case of the C-5 homologues in which one atropisomer was found to be potently active and the other essentially inert. These results provide compelling evidence that we have determined the bioactive conformation shared by RSV inhibitors that employ the thienobenazapine nucleus as their core molecular architecture. Furthermore, the understanding obtained from these studies may make it possible to design improved agents against RSV infection in the future.
