Access to New Cytotoxic Triterpene and Steroidal Acid-TEMPO Conjugates by Ugi Multicomponent-Reactions.

ABSTRACT: Multicomponent reactions, especially the Ugi-four component reaction (U-4CR), provide powerful protocols to efficiently access compounds having potent biological and pharmacological effects. Thus, a diverse library of betulinic acid (BA), fusidic acid (FA), cholic acid (CA) conjugates with TEMPO (nitroxide) have been prepared using this approach, which also makes them applicable in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Moreover, convertible amide modified spin-labelled fusidic acid derivatives were selected for post-Ugi modification utilizing a wide range of reaction conditions which kept the paramagnetic center intact. The nitroxide labelled betulinic acid analogue 6 possesses cytotoxic effects towards two investigated cell lines: prostate cancer PC3 (IC₅₀ 7.4 ± 0.7 μM) and colon cancer HT29 (IC₅₀ 9.0 ± 0.4 μM). Notably, spin-labelled fusidic acid derivative 8 acts strongly against these two cancer cell lines (PC3: IC₅₀ 6.0 ± 1.1 μM; HT29: IC₅₀ 7.4 ± 0.6 μM). Additionally, another fusidic acid analogue 9 was also found to be active towards HT29 with IC₅₀ 7.0 ± 0.3 μM (CV). Studies on the mode of action revealed that compound 8 increased the level of caspase-3 significantly which clearly indicates induction of apoptosis by activation of the caspase pathway. Furthermore, the exclusive mitochondria targeting of compound 18 was successfully achieved, since mitochondria are the major source of ROS generation.

Design and Synthesis of Ketenimine Sulfonamide Conjugates through Multicomponent Reactions; A Combined Cytotoxic Analysis and Computational Exploration.

Project description:Multicomponent reactions involving zwitterion generated from dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, aryl sulfonamide, and isocyanide to generate sulfonamide-conjugated ketenimines is reported. The synthetic strategy adopted is highly atom economical and stereoselective. Ketenimine sulfonamide analogues are key intermediates for further synthetic conversions to generate a combinatorial library of compounds. Furthermore, sulfonamide compounds are known to possess a broad spectrum of biological applications. All the novel molecules synthesized exhibit the potential to target the nonhomologous DNA end-joining (NHEJ) pathway with cytotoxic ability. Computational studies compliment the in vitro biological assays of the 8 small-molecule inhibitors. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are considered as the most lethal among different DNA damages. NHEJ repairs about 70% of the DSBs generated in cells within mammals. The DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit is one of the PI3 kinases associated with NHEJ. Compounds DK01-DK08 were investigated for their ability to induce cancer cell death by treating with two leukemic cell lines where NHEJ is high. Results showed that bromoaryl (DK04)- and nitroaryl (DK05)-conjugated molecules showed excellent biological activity, having IC50 values of ∼2 μM in Nalm6 cell lines.

From Ugi Multicomponent Reaction to Linkers for Bioconjugation.

Project description:Bioconjugation is a key approach for the development of novel molecular entities with clinical applications. The biocompatibility and specificity of biomolecules such as peptides, proteins, and antibodies make these macromolecules ideal carriers for selective targeted therapies. In this context, there is a need to develop new molecular units that cover the requirements of the next generation of targeted pharmaceuticals. Here, we present the design and development of a versatile and stable linker based on a N-alkylated ?,?-dialkyl dipeptide for bioconjugation, with a particular focus on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Starting with the well-known Ugi multicomponent reaction, the convenient chemical modification of the prepared adducts allowed us the obtention of versatile bifunctional linkers for bioconjugation. A conjugation strategy was tested to demonstrate the efficiency of the linker. In addition, a novel cytotoxic anti-HER2 ADC was prepared using the Ugi-linker approach.

Complementary isonitrile-based multicomponent reactions for the synthesis of diversified cytotoxic hemiasterlin analogues.

Project description:A small family of structural analogues of the antimitotic tripeptides, hemiasterlins, have been designed and synthesized as potential inhibitors of tubulin polymerization. The effectiveness of a multicomponent approach was fully demonstrated by applying complementary versions of the isocyanide-based Ugi reaction. Compounds strictly related to the lead natural products, as well as more extensively modified analogues, have been synthesized in a concise and convergent manner. In some cases, biological evaluation provided evidence for strong cytotoxic activity (six human tumor cell lines) and for potent inhibition of tubulin polymerization.

Ugi Multicomponent Reaction Based Synthesis of Medium-Sized Rings.

Project description:An Ugi multicomponent reaction based two-step strategy was applied to generate medium-sized rings. In the first linear expansion phase, a series of diamines reacted with cyclic anhydrides to produce different lengths of terminal synthetic amino acids as the starting material for the second phase. The Ugi-4-center 3-component reaction was utilized to construct complex medium-sized rings (8-11) by the addition of isocyanides and oxo components. This method features mild conditions and a broad substrate scope.

Site-Selective Protein Conjugation by a Multicomponent Ugi Reaction

Project description:The chemical bioconjugation of proteins has seen tremendous applications in the past decades, with the booming of antibody-drug conjugates and their use in oncology. While genetic engineering has permitted to produce bespoke proteins featuring key (un-)natural amino acid residues poised for site-selective modifications, the conjugation of native proteins is riddled with selectivity issues. Chemoselective strategies are plentiful and enable the precise modification of virtually any residue with a reactive side-chain; site-selective methods are less common and usually most effective on small and medium-sized proteins. In this context, we studied the application of the Ugi multicomponent reaction for the site-selective conjugation of amine and carboxylate groups on proteins, and antibodies in particular. Through an in-depth mechanistic methodology work supported by peptide mapping studies, we managed to develop a set of conditions allowing the highly selective modification of antibodies bearing N-terminal glutamate and aspartate residues. We demonstrated that this strategy did not alter their affinity toward their target antigen and produced an antibody-drug conjugate with subnanomolar potency. Excitingly, we showed that the high site selectivity of our strategy was maintained on other protein formats, especially on anticalins, for which directed mutagenesis helped to highlight the key importance of a single lysine residue.

Diverse Isoquinoline Scaffolds by Ugi/Pomeranz-Fritsch and Ugi/Schlittler-Muller Reactions.

Project description:The Pomeranz-Fritsch reaction and its Schlittler-Müller modification were successfully applied in the Ugi postcyclization strategy by using orthogonally protected aminoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal and complementary electron rich building blocks. Several scaffolds, including isoquinolines, carboline, alkaloid-like tetrazole-fused tetracyclic compounds, and benzo[ d]azepinone scaffolds, were synthesized in generally moderate to good yield. All our syntheses provide a short MCR-based sequence to novel or otherwise difficult to access scaffolds. Hence, we foresee multiple applications of these synthesis technologies.

Access to New Cytotoxic Quinone-Amino Acid Conjugates Linked through A Vinylic Spacer from 2-Acylnaphthoquinones and Methyl 3-Aminocrotonate.

Project description:The reaction of 2-acetyl- and 2-benzoyl-1,4-naphthoquinone with (Z)-methyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)aminocrotonate proceeds through a formal [3+3] process to yield the corresponding 1,2-dihydrobenzisoquinolinequinones in 63% and 72% yield, respectively. The reactions of 2-acyl-1,4-naphthoquinone with enaminones, derived from diverse l- and d-amino acid methyl esters, produced the corresponding naphthoquinone amino acids conjugates bonded through a vinyl spacer in the yields range 40-71%. The presence of not-separable isomers of the naphthoquinone amino acids conjugates in the ¹H- and 13C-NMR spectra is explained by the existence of conformational isomers generated by hindered rotation of the substituent bonded to the quinone double bond. These new naphthoquinone amino acids conjugates were screened in vitro on normal and cancer cell lines and showed moderate cytotoxic activities.

Multicomponent Reactions: "Kinderleicht".

Project description:A demonstration experiment of the synthesis of a novel tetrazole derivative via a multicomponent reaction (Ugi tetrazole four component reaction, UT-4CR) bearing a luminol moiety and a subsequent exploitation of its chemiluminescent properties is described. A complex product is generated in just one simple step, so simple that children can do it: "kinderleicht", German for dead easy. Students are stimulated, inspired, and involved in a multilevel active learning process using the Steps to Inquiry framework as a metacognitive tool that raises student awareness regarding scientific process and prompts them to ask their own questions discussing the merits of a mechanism and evaluating its effectiveness before they start their own cycles of inquiry.

Stereodivergent access to all four stereoisomers of chiral tetrahydrobenzo[<i>f</i>][1,4]oxazepines, through highly diastereoselective multicomponent Ugi-Joullie reaction.

Project description:Starting from easily accessible chiral enantiopure 1,2-amino alcohols and salicylaldehydes, a concise route to cyclic imines has been developed. These chiral cyclic imines undergo a highly diastereoselective Ugi-Joullié reaction to give trans tetrahydrobenzo[f][1,4]oxazepines with the introduction of up to 4 diversity inputs. The cis isomer may also be attained, thanks to a thermodynamically controlled base catalysed epimerization. Free secondary amines have been obtained using an unprecedented "removable" carboxylic acid.
