A chiroptical approach for the absolute stereochemical determination of P-stereogenic centers.

ABSTRACT: A simple chiroptical solution for the absolute stereochemical determination for asymmetric phosphorus V stereocenters is presented. Strong coordination of the phosphorus oxide with the Zn-metallo center of the racemic host Zn-MAPOL 2 leads to an induced axial chirality of the host, yielding a strong ECCD signal. A mnemonic is proposed to correlate the asymmetry of the guest molecule with the observed ECCD signal.

Determination of the absolute configurations of the stereogenic centers of ustilaginoidins by studying the biosynthetic monomers from a gene knockout mutant of Villosiclava virens.

Project description:Ustilaginoidins are a kind of mycotoxins with 9,9'-linked bis-naphtho-?-pyrones structures produced by the rice false smut pathogen Villosiclava virens. These metabolites displayed a wide range of bioactivities, such as teratogenic, cytotoxic, phytotoxic, and antibacterial activities. So far 26 ustilaginoidins have been isolated from V. virens, among which 18 compounds contained stereogenic center(s), however, most of them were unknown for the absolute configurations, except that of ustilaginoidin D. In this study, the absolute structures of these ustilaginoidins were constructed for the first time by analysis of the biosynthetic monomers obtained from a gene knockout mutant (?UV_2091) of V. virens. The gene UV_2091 was predicted to encode an enzyme that dimerized the monomeric naphtho-?-pyrones in V. virens. Knockout of this gene led to the accumulation of three monomers, namely hemiustilaginoidin F (1), epihemiustilaginoidin D (2), and hemiustilaginoidin D (3), but the production of ustilaginoidins was completely blocked. The structures of the monomers were deduced by spectroscopic analysis, in combination with TDDFT ECD calculations for determining the absolute configurations. These compounds were tested for their phytotoxic, cytotoxic, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. Compounds 1 and 3 showed inhibition against the radicle and plumule elongation of rice and lettuce seeds at the tested concentrations. Compound 1 was active against the tested five human cancer cells, with half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) of 13.2~37.3??M. Compounds 1~3 inhibited the growth of the tested pathogenic bacteria with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 8~32?µg/mL, while compound 3 exhibited antifungal activity against Magnaporthe oryzae (IC50, 5.21?µg/mL). A comparison of these data with those of the ustilaginoidins provided insights into the structure-bioactivity relationships.

Stereochemical outcome at four stereogenic centers during conversion of prephenate to tetrahydrotyrosine by BacABGF in the bacilysin pathway.

Project description:The first four enzymes of the bacilysin antibiotic pathway, BacABGF, convert prephenate to a tetrahydrotyrosine (H(4)Tyr) diastereomer on the way to the anticapsin warhead of the dipeptide antibiotic. BacB takes the BacA product endocyclic-?(4),?(8)-7R-dihydrohydroxyphenylpyruvate (en-H(2)HPP) and generates a mixture of 3E- and 3Z-olefins of the exocyclic-?(3),?(5)-dihydrohydroxyphenylpyruvate (ex-H(2)HPP). The NADH-utilizing BacG then catalyzes a conjugate reduction, adding a pro-S hydride equivalent to C(4) to yield tetrahydrohydroxyphenylpyruvate (H(4)HPP), a transamination away (via BacF) from 2S-H(4)Tyr. Incubations of the pathway enzymes in D(2)O yield deuterium incorporation at C(8) from BacA and then C(9) from BacB action. By (1)H NMR analysis of samples of H(4)Tyr, the stereochemistry at C(4), C(8), and C(9) can be assigned. BacG (followed by BacF) converts 3E-ex-H(2)HPP to 2S,4R,7R-H(4)Tyr. The 3Z isomer is instead reduced and transaminated to the opposite diastereomer at C(4), 2S,4S,7R-H(4)Tyr. Given that bacilysin has the 2S,4S stereochemistry in its anticapsin moiety, it is likely that the 2S,4S-H(4)Tyr is the diastereomer "on pathway". NMR determination of the stereochemistry of the CHD samples at C(8) and C(9) allows assignment of all stereogenic centers (except C(3)) in this unusual tetrahydro-aromatic amino acid building block, giving insights into and constraints on the BacA, BacB, and BacG mechanisms.

Absolute Configuration Determination of Two Diastereomeric Neovasifuranones A and B from Fusarium oxysporum R1 by a Combination of Mosher's Method and Chiroptical Approach.

Project description:Endophytic fungi are one of prolific sources of bioactive natural products with potential application in biomedicine and agriculture. In our continuous search for antimicrobial secondary metabolites from Fusarium oxysporum R1 associated with traditional Chinese medicinal plant Rumex madaio Makino using one strain many compounds (OSMAC) strategy, two diastereomeric polyketides neovasifuranones A (3) and B (4) were obtained from its solid rice medium together with N-(2-phenylethyl)acetamide (1), 1-(3-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenyl)-ethanone (2) and 1,2-seco-trypacidin (5). Their planar structures were unambiguously determined using 1D NMR and MS spectroscopy techniques as well as comparison with the literature data. By a combination of the modified Mosher's reactions and chiroptical methods using time-dependent density functional theory-electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT-ECD) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD), the absolute configurations of compounds 3 and 4 are firstly confirmed and, respectively, characterized as (4S,7S,8R), (4S,7S,8S). Bioassay results indicate that these metabolites 1-5 exhibit weak inhibitory effect on Helicobacter pylori 159 with MIC values of ≥16 μg/mL. An in-depth discussion for enhancement of fungal metabolite diversity is also proposed in this work.

Absolute configuration and host-guest binding of chiral porphyrin-cages by a combined chiroptical and theoretical approach.

Project description:Porphyrin cage-compounds are used as biomimetic models and substrate-selective catalysts in supramolecular chemistry. In this work we present the resolution of planar-chiral porphyrin cages and the determination of their absolute configuration by vibrational circular dichroism in combination with density functional theory calculations. The chiral porphyrin-cages form complexes with achiral and chiral viologen-guests and upon binding one of the axial enantiomorphs of the guest is bound selectively, as is indicated by induced-electronic-dichroism-spectra in combination with calculations. This host-guest binding also leads to unusual enhanced vibrational circular dichroism, which is the result of a combination of phenomena, such as rigidification of the host and guest structures, charge transfer, and coupling of specific vibration modes of the host and guest. The results offer insights in how the porphyrin cage-compounds may be used to construct a future molecular Turing machine that can write chiral information onto polymer chains.

Determination of Configuration and Conformation of a Reserpine Derivative with Seven Stereogenic Centers Using Molecular Dynamics with RDC-Derived Tensorial Constraints*.

Project description:NMR-based determination of the configuration of complex molecules containing many stereocenters is often not possible using traditional NOE data and coupling patterns. Making use of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs), we were able to determine the relative configuration of a natural product containing seven stereocenters, including a chiral amine lacking direct RDC data. To identify the correct relative configuration out of 32 possible ones, experimental RDCs were used in three different approaches for data interpretation: by fitting experimental data based singular value decomposition (SVD) using a single alignment tensor and either (i) a single conformer or (ii) multiple conformers, or alternatively (iii) using molecular dynamics simulations with tensorial orientational constraints (MDOC). Even though in all three approaches one and the same configuration could be selected and clear discrimination between possible configurations was achieved, the experimental data was not fully satisfied by the methods based on single tensor approaches. While these two approaches are faster, only MDOC is able to fully reproduce experimental results, as the obtained conformational ensemble adequately covers the conformational space necessary to describe the molecule with inherent flexibility.

Determination of the absolute configuration of compounds bearing chiral quaternary carbon centers using the crystalline sponge method.

Project description:Determination of the absolute configuration of chiral tetra-substituted carbon centers is one of the most taxing steps in the enantioselective construction of this structural motif in asymmetric synthesis. Here, we demonstrate that the crystalline sponge method provides an effective way to crystallographically determine the absolute configuration of organic compounds bearing chiral quaternary carbons (including tetra-substituted ones) that are synthesized by recently developed enantioselective catalytic reactions.

The Use of a Combination of RDC and Chiroptical Spectroscopy for Determination of the Absolute Configuration of Fusariumin A from the Fungus Fusarium sp.

Project description:A new alkylpyrrole derivative, fusariumin A (1), was isolated from the culture broth of the fungus Fusarium sp. The absolute configuration of fuasiumin A has been established as (2'R,3'R) using a combination of RDC (residual dipolar coupling)-based NMR and DFT-supported chiroptical spectroscopy. It is worth to note that in this study without the aid of the RDC analysis, an unambiguous determination of configuration and conformation was not feasible due to the excessive conformational possibilities of this open-chain compound.

Induced-fit recognition of DNA by organometallic complexes with dynamic stereogenic centers.

Project description:Organometallic chemistry offers novel concepts in structural diversity and molecular recognition that can be used in drug design. Here, we consider DNA recognition by eta 6-arene Ru(II) anticancer complexes by an induced-fit mechanism. The stereochemistry of the dinuclear complex [((eta 6-biphenyl)RuCl(en))2-(CH2)6]2 + (3, en = ethylenediamine) was elucidated by studies of the half unit [(eta 6-biphenyl)RuCl(Et-en)]+ (2, where Et-en is Et(H)NCH2CH2NH2). The structures of the separated RRu*RN* and SRu*RN* diastereomers of 2 were determined by x-ray crystallography; their slow interconversion in water (t(1/2) approximately 2 h, 298 K, pH 6.2) was observed by NMR spectroscopy. For 2 and 3 the RRu*RN* configurations are more stable than SRu*RN* (73:27). X-ray and NMR studies showed that reactions of 2 and 3 with 9-ethylguanine gave rise selectively to SRu*RN* diastereomers. Dynamic chiral recognition of guanine can lead to high diastereoselectivity of DNA binding. The dinuclear complex 3 induced a large unwinding (31 degrees) of plasmid DNA, twice that of mononuclear 2 (14 degrees), and effectively inhibited DNA-directed RNA synthesis in vitro. This dinuclear complex gave rise to interstrand cross-links on a 213-bp plasmid fragment with efficiency similar to bifunctional cisplatin, and to 1,3-GG interstrand and 1,2-GG and 1,3-GTG intrastrand cross-links on site-specifically ruthenated 20-mers. Complex 3 blocked intercalation of ethidium considerably more than mononuclear 2. The concept of induced-fit recognition of DNA by organometallic complexes containing dynamic stereogenic centers via dynamic epimerization, intercalation, and cross-linking may be useful in the design of anticancer drugs.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Stereogenic Phosphorus P(V) Centers Using Chiral Nucleophilic Catalysis.

Project description:Organophosphates have been widely used in agrochemistry, as reagents for organic synthesis, and in biochemistry. Phosphate mimics possessing four unique substituents, and thereby a chirality center, are useful in transition metal catalysis and as nucleotide therapeutics. The catalytic, stereocontrolled synthesis of phosphorus-stereogenic centers is challenging and traditionally depends on a resolution or use of stochiometric auxiliaries. Herein, enantioenriched phosphorus centers have been synthesized using chiral nucleophilic catalysis. Racemic H-phosphinate species were coupled with nucleophilic alcohols under halogenating conditions. Chiral phosphonate products were synthesized in acceptable yields (33-95%) and modest enantioselectivity (up to 62% ee) was observed after identification of an appropriate chiral catalyst and optimization of the solvent, base, and temperature. Nucleophilic catalysis has a tremendous potential to produce enantioenriched phosphate mimics that could be used as prodrugs or chemical biology probes.
