A programmable chemical switch based on triggerable Michael acceptors.

ABSTRACT: Developing an engineerable chemical reaction that is triggerable for simultaneous chemical bond formation and cleavage by external cues offers tunability and orthogonality which is highly desired in many biological and materials applications. Here, we present a chemical switch that concurrently captures these features in response to chemically and biologically abundant and important cues, viz., thiols and amines. This thiol/amine-triggerable chemical switch is based on a Triggerable Michael Acceptor (TMAc) which bears good leaving groups at its β-position. The acceptor undergoes a "trigger-to-release" process where thiol/amine addition triggers cascaded release of leaving groups and generates a less activated acceptor. The newly generated TMAc can be further reversed to liberate the original thiol/amine by a second nucleophile trigger through a "trigger-to-reverse" process. Within the small molecular volume of the switch, we have shown five locations that can be engineered to achieve tunable "trigger-to-release" kinetics and tailored reversibility. The potential of the engineerable bonding/debonding capability of the chemical switch is demonstrated by applications in cysteine-selective and reversible protein modification, universal self-immolative linkers, and orthogonally addressable hydrogels.

Multisite Labeling of Proteins Using the Ligand-Directed Reactivity of Triggerable Michael Acceptors.

Project description:Targeted modification of endogenous proteins without genetic manipulation of protein expression machinery has a range of applications from chemical biology to drug discovery. Despite being demonstrated to be effective in various applications, target-specific protein labeling using ligand-directed strategies is limited by stringent amino acid selectivity. Here, we present highly reactive ligand-directed triggerable Michael acceptors (LD-TMAcs) that feature rapid protein labeling. Unlike previous approaches, the unique reactivity of LD-TMAcs enables multiple modifications on a single target protein, effectively mapping the ligand binding site. This capability is attributed to the tunable reactivity of TMAcs that enable the labeling of several amino acid functionalities via a binding-induced increase in local concentration while remaining fully dormant in the absence of protein binding. We demonstrate the target selectivity of these molecules in cell lysates using carbonic anhydrase as the model protein. Furthermore, we demonstrate the utility of this method by selectively labeling membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase XII in live cells. We envision that the unique features of LD-TMAcs will find use in target identification, investigation of binding/allosteric sites, and studying membrane proteins.

Cu-catalyzed carboboration of acetylene with Michael acceptors.

Project description:A copper-catalyzed three-component carboboration of acetylene with B2Pin2 and Michael acceptors is reported. In this reaction, a cheap and abundant C2 chemical feedstock, acetylene, was used as a starting material to afford cis-alkenyl boronates bearing a homoallylic carbonyl group. The reaction was robust and could be reliably performed on the molar scale. Furthermore, the resulting cis-alkenyl boronates could be converted to diverse functionalized molecules with ease.

Synthesis of Benzocycloalkanone-Based Michael Acceptors and Biological Activities as Antimalarial and Antitrypanosomal Agents.

Project description:A series of benzocycloalkanone derivatives have been prepared and evaluated as antimalarial and antitrypanosomal agents. The compounds were obtained by direct coupling of preformed 4-substituted benzaldehyde and indanone or tetralone substitutes through aldol condensation of Claisen-Schmidt using sodium hydroxide as a catalyst in ethanol at room temperature. Although designed to inhibit the formation of β-hematin in vitro, only three compounds, 10, 11, and 12, showed activities greater than 50% (75.16%, 63.02%, and 56.17%, respectively). The results of the in vivo antimalarial evaluation show that 10, 11, and 12 reduced parasitemia marginally, and an insignificant increase in the days of survival of the mice was observed. As trypanocidals, all compounds showed marginal activity as inhibitors of the proliferation of T. cruzi epimastigotes, except compound 33, with an activity of 51.08 ± 3.4% compared to the activity shown by the reference compound benznidazole 59.99 ± 2.9%. The compounds appear to have little cytotoxic effect against VERO cells in vitro; this new class of Michael acceptor agents clearly warrants further investigation.

Umpolung of Michael acceptors catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes.

Project description:N-Heterocyclic carbenes can catalyze beta-alkylations of a range of alpha,beta-unsaturated esters, amides, and nitriles that bear pendant leaving groups to form a variety of ring sizes. In this process, the nucleophilic catalyst transiently transforms the normally electrophilic beta carbon into a nucleophilic site through an unanticipated addition-tautomerization sequence.

Asymmetric Primaquine and Halogenaniline Fumardiamides as Novel Biologically Active Michael Acceptors.

Project description:Novel primaquine (PQ) and halogenaniline asymmetric fumardiamides 4a?f, potential Michael acceptors, and their reduced analogues succindiamides 5a?f were prepared by simple three-step reactions: coupling reaction between PQ and mono-ethyl fumarate (1a) or mono-methyl succinate (1b), hydrolysis of PQ-dicarboxylic acid mono-ester conjugates 2a,b to corresponding acids 3a,b, and a coupling reaction with halogenanilines. 1-[bis(Dimethylamino)methylene]-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridinium 3-oxide hexafluorophosphate (HATU) was used as a coupling reagent along with Hünig's base. Compounds 4 and 5 were evaluated against a panel of bacteria, several Mycobacterium strains, fungi, a set of viruses, and nine different human tumor cell lines. p-Chlorofumardiamide 4d showed significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii, but also against Candida albicans (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 6.1?12.5 µg/mL). Together with p-fluoro and p-CF? fumardiamides 4b,f, compound 4d showed activity against Mycobacterium marinum and 4b,f against M. tuberculosis. In biofilm eradication assay, most of the bacteria, particularly S. aureus, showed susceptibility to fumardiamides. m-CF? and m-chloroaniline fumardiamides 4e and 4c showed significant antiviral activity against reovirus-1, sindbis virus and Punta Toro virus (EC50 = 3.1?5.5 µM), while 4e was active against coxsackie virus B4 (EC50 = 3.1 µM). m-Fluoro derivative 4a exerted significant cytostatic activity (IC50 = 5.7?31.2 ?M). Acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells were highly susceptible towards m-substituted derivatives 4a,c,e (IC50 = 6.7?8.9 ?M). Biological evaluations revealed that fumardiamides 4 were more active than succindiamides 5 indicating importance of Michael conjugated system.

A Simple Zinc-Mediated Method for Selenium Addition to Michael Acceptors.

Project description:In this work, we focused our attention on seleno-Michael type reactions. These were performed using zinc-selenolates generated in situ from diphenyl diselenide 1, 1,2-bis(3-phenylpropyl)diselenide 30, and protected selenocystine 31 via an efficient biphasic Zn/HCl-based reducing system. Alkenes with a variety of electron-withdrawing groups were investigated in order to gauge the scope and limitations of the process. Results demonstrated that the addition to acyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones, aldehydes, esters amides, and acids was effectively achieved and that alkyl substituents at the reactive β-centre can be accommodated. Similarly, cyclic enones undergo efficient Se-addition and the corresponding adducts were isolated in moderate to good yield. Vinyl sulfones, α,β-unsaturated nitriles, and chalcones are not compatible with these reaction conditions. A recycling experiment demonstrated that the unreacted Zn/HCl reducing system can be effectively reused for seven reaction cycles (91% conversion yield at the 7° recycling rounds).

Impact of the structures of macrocyclic Michael acceptors on covalent proteasome inhibition.

Project description:Molecules that have a reactive functional group within a macrocycle represent a class of covalent inhibitor. The relationship between reactivity and affinity for the target is cooperative and complicated. An understanding and characterization of this class of inhibitor are vital for the development of covalent inhibitors as drug candidates. Herein, we describe a systematic analysis of structure-activity relationships using a series of syringolin analogues, which are irreversible covalent inhibitors of proteasomes. We investigate the detailed mechanistic effects of the macrocycles on affinity and reaction rate.

Development of Urea-Bond-Containing Michael Acceptors as Antitrypanosomal Agents Targeting Rhodesain.

Project description:Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a neglected tropical disease widespread in sub-Saharan Africa. Rhodesain, a cysteine protease of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, has been identified as a valid target for the development of anti-HAT agents. Herein, we report a series of urea-bond-containing Michael acceptors, which were demonstrated to be potent rhodesain inhibitors with K i values ranging from 0.15 to 2.51 nM, and five of them showed comparable k 2nd values to that of K11777, a potent antitrypanosomal agent. Moreover, most of the urea derivatives exhibited single-digit micromolar activity against the protozoa, and the presence of substituents at the P3 position appears to be essential for the antitrypanosomal effect. Replacement of Phe with Leu at the P2 site kept unchanged the inhibitory properties. Compound 7 (SPR7) showed the best compromise in terms of rhodesain inhibition, selectivity, and antiparasitic activity, thus representing a new lead compound for future SAR studies.

A homogeneous, recyclable rhodium(I) catalyst for the hydroarylation of Michael acceptors.

Project description:A robust and practical polymer-supported, recyclable biphephos rhodium(I) catalyst has been developed. Control of polymer molecular weight allowed the tuning of solubility such that the polymer-supported catalyst is soluble in nonpolar solvents and not soluble in polar solvents. Thus, catalytic addition of aryl- and vinylboronic acids to enones occurs under completely homogeneous conditions and catalyst recycle can be achieved by simple precipitation and filtration.
