Towards DNA-Encoded Micellar Chemistry: DNA-Micelle Association and Environment Sensitivity of Catalysis.

ABSTRACT: The development of DNA-compatible reaction methodologies is a central theme to advance DNA-encoded screening library technology. Recently, we were able to show that sulfonic acid-functionalized block copolymer micelles facilitated Brønsted acid-promoted reactions such as the Povarov reaction on DNA-coupled starting materials with minimal DNA degradation. Here, the impact of polymer composition on micelle shape, and reaction conversion was investigated. A dozen sulfonic acid-functionalized block copolymers of different molar mass and composition were prepared by RAFT polymerization and were tested in the Povarov reaction, removal of the Boc protective group, and the Biginelli reaction. The results showed trends in the polymer structure-micellar catalytic activity relationship. For instance, micelles composed of block copolymers with shorter acrylate ester chains formed smaller particles and tended to provide faster reaction kinetics. Moreover, fluorescence quenching experiments as well as circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that DNA-oligomer-conjugates, although highly water-soluble, accumulated very effectively in the micellar compartments, which is a prerequisite for carrying out a DNA-encoded reaction in the presence of polymer micelles.

Chemically Stabilized DNA Barcodes for DNA-Encoded Chemistry.

Project description:DNA-encoded compound libraries are a widely used small molecule screening technology. One important aim in library design is the coverage of chemical space through structurally diverse molecules. Yet, the chemical reactivity of native DNA barcodes limits the toolbox of reactions for library design. Substituting the chemically vulnerable purines by 7-deazaadenine, which exhibits tautomerization stability similar to natural adenine with respect to the formation of stable Watson-Crick pairs, yielded ligation-competent, amplifiable, and readable DNA barcodes for encoded chemistry with enhanced stability against protic acid- and metal ion-promoted depurination. The barcode stability allowed for straightforward translation of 16 exemplary reactions that included isocyanide multicomponent reactions, acid-promoted Pictet-Spengler and Biginelli reactions, and metal-promoted pyrazole syntheses on controlled pore glass-coupled barcodes for diverse DEL design. The Boc protective group of reaction products offered a convenient handle for encoded compound purification.

Investigations Into Chemically Stabilized Four-Letter DNA for DNA-Encoded Chemistry

Project description:DNA-encoded libraries are a prime technology for target-based small molecule screening. Native DNA used as genetic compound barcode is chemically vulnerable under many reaction conditions. DNA barcodes that are composed of pyrimidine nucleobases, 7-deazaadenine, and 7-deaza-8-azaguanine have been investigated for their suitability for encoded chemistry both experimentally and computationally. These four-letter barcodes were readily ligated by T4 ligation, amplifiable by Taq polymerase, and the resultant amplicons were correctly sequenced. Chemical stability profiling showed a superior chemical stability compared to native DNA, though higher susceptibility to depurination than a three-letter code based on pyrimidine DNA and 7-deazaadenine.

Organozinc Chemistry Enabled by Micellar Catalysis. Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Couplings between Alkyl and Aryl Bromides in Water at Room Temperature.

Project description:Negishi-like cross-couplings between (functionalized) alkyl and aryl bromides are described. Despite the fact that organozinc reagents are intolerant of water, their formation as well as their use in an aqueous micellar environment is discussed herein. Each component of this complex series of events leading up to C-C bond formation has an important role which has been determined insofar as the type of zinc, amine ligand, surfactant, and palladium catalyst are concerned. In particular, the nature of the surfactant has been found to be crucial in order to obtain synthetically useful results involving highly reactive, moisture-sensitive organometallics. Neither organic solvent nor heat is required for these cross-couplings to occur; just add water.

Highly efficient on-DNA amide couplings promoted by micelle forming surfactants for the synthesis of DNA encoded libraries.

Project description:DNA encoded libraries (DELs) represent powerful new technology for finding small molecule ligands for proteins and are increasingly being applied to hit finding in medicinal chemistry. Crucial to the synthesis of high quality DELs is the identification of chemical reactions for their assembly that proceed with very high conversion across a range of different substrates, under conditions compatible with DNA-tagged substrates. Many current chemistries used in DEL synthesis do not meet this requirement, resulting in libraries of low fidelity. Amide couplings are the most commonly used reaction in synthesis of screening libraries and also in DELs. The ability to carry out highly efficient, widely applicable amide couplings in DEL synthesis would therefore be highly desirable. We report a method for amide coupling using micelle forming surfactants, promoted by a modified linker, that is broadly applicable across a wide range of substrates. Most significantly, this works exceptionally well for coupling of DNA-conjugated carboxylic acids (N-to-C) with amines in solution, a procedure that is currently very inefficient. The optimisation of separate procedures for coupling of DNA-conjugated acids and amines by reagent screening and statistically driven optimisation is described. The generality of the method is illustrated by the application to a wide range of examples with unprecedented levels of conversion. The utility of the (N-to-C) coupling of DNA-conjugated acids in DEL synthesis is illustrated by the three cycle synthesis of a fully DNA-encoded compound by two cycles of coupling of an aminoester, with intermediate ester hydrolysis, followed by capping with an amine. This methodology will be of great utility in the synthesis of high fidelity DELs.

Bridging the gap between transition metal- and bio-catalysis via aqueous micellar catalysis.

Project description:Previous studies have shown that aqueous solutions of designer surfactants enable a wide variety of valuable transformations in synthetic organic chemistry. Since reactions take place within the inner hydrophobic cores of these tailor-made nanoreactors, and products made therein are in dynamic exchange between micelles through the water, opportunities exist to use enzymes to effect secondary processes. Herein we report that ketone-containing products, formed via initial transition metal-catalyzed reactions based on Pd, Cu, Rh, Fe and Au, can be followed in the same pot by enzymatic reductions mediated by alcohol dehydrogenases. Most noteworthy is the finding that nanomicelles present in the water appear to function not only as a medium for both chemo- and bio-catalysis, but as a reservoir for substrates, products, and catalysts, decreasing noncompetitive enzyme inhibition.

DNA-Encoded Library Hit Confirmation: Bridging the Gap Between On-DNA and Off-DNA Chemistry.

Project description:DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology is a powerful platform for hit identification in academia and the pharmaceutical industry. When conducting off-DNA resynthesis hit confirmation after affinity selection, PCR/sequencing, and data analysis, one typically assumes a "one-to-one" relationship between the DNA tag and the chemical structure of the attached small-molecule it encodes. Because library synthesis often yields a mixture, this approximation increases the risk of overlooking positive discoveries and valuable information. To address this issue, we apply a library synthesis "recipe" strategy for on-DNA resynthesis using a cleavable linker, followed by direct affinity selection mass spectrometry (AS-MS) evaluation and identification of binder(s) from the released small-molecule mixture. We validate and showcase this approach employing the receptor-interacting-protein kinase 2 (RIP2) DEL campaign. We also designed and developed two cleavable linkers to enable this method, a photocleavable linker (nitrophenyl-based) and acid-labile linker (tetrahydropyranyl ether). The strategy provides an effective means of hit identification and rapid determination of key active component(s) of the mixture.

Novel Nucleic Acid Binding Small Molecules Discovered Using DNA-Encoded Chemistry.

Project description:Inspired by the many reported successful applications of DNA-encoded chemical libraries in drug discovery projects with protein targets, we decided to apply this platform to nucleic acid targets. We used a 120-billion-compound set of 33 distinct DNA-encoded chemical libraries and affinity-mediated selection to discover binders to a panel of DNA targets. Here, we report the successful discovery of small molecules that specifically interacted with DNA G-quartets, which are stable structural motifs found in G-rich regions of genomic DNA, including in the promoter regions of oncogenes. For this study, we chose the G-quartet sequence found in the c-myc promoter as a primary target. Compounds enriched using affinity-mediated selection against this target demonstrated high-affinity binding and high specificity over DNA sequences not containing G-quartet motifs. These compounds demonstrated a moderate ability to discriminate between different G-quartet motifs and also demonstrated activity in a cell-based assay, suggesting direct target engagement in the cell. DNA-encoded chemical libraries and affinity-mediated selection are uniquely suited to discover binders to targets that have no inherent activity outside of a cellular context, and they may also be of utility in other nucleic acid structural motifs.

Development of an Automatable Affinity Purification Process for DNA-Encoded Chemistry.

Project description:DNA-encoded library technologies require high-throughput, compatible, and well automatable platforms for chemistry development, building block rehearsal, and library synthesis. An affinity-based process using Watson-Crick interactions was developed that enables purification of DNA-tagged compounds from complex reaction mixtures. The purification relies on a single-stranded DNA-oligonucleotide, called capture strand, which was covalently coupled to an agarose matrix and to which a DNA-compound conjugate from a DNA-encoded library (DEL) reaction can be reversibly annealed to. The thus-formed DNA duplex tolerated surprisingly stringent washing conditions with multiple solvents to remove excess reactants and reagents. The tolerated solvents included aqueous buffers, aqueous EDTA solutions to remove metal ions, aqueous mixtures of organic solvents, and even pure organic solvents. The purified DNA-conjugate was eluted with aqueous ammonia and could be used for reaction analysis or for instance in DNA-encoded library synthesis. The lab equipment for purification was tailored for automation with open-source hardware and constructed by 3D printing.

Glutathione transferase mimics: micellar catalysis of an enzymic reaction.

Project description:Substances that mimic the enzyme action of glutathione transferases (which serve in detoxification) are described. These micellar catalysts enhance the reaction rate between thiols and activated halogenated nitroarenes as well as alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyls. The nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction is enhanced by the following surfactants in descending order: poly(dimethyldiallylammonium - co - dodecylmethyldiallylammonium) bromide (86/14) >>cetyltrimethylammonium bromide>zwittergent 3-16 (n-hexadecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulphonate)>zwittergent+ ++ 3-14 (n-tetradecyl-N,N-dimethyl - 3 - ammonio -1 - propanesulphonate) approximately N,N - dimethyl - laurylamine N-oxide>N,N-dimethyloctylamine N-oxide. The most efficient catalyst studied is a polymeric material that incorporates surfactant properties (n-dodecylmethyldiallylammonium bromide) and opens up possibilities for engineering sequences of reactions on a polymeric support. Michael addition to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyls is exemplified by a model substance, trans-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-one, and a toxic compound that is formed during oxidative stress, 4-hydroxy-2-undecenal. The latter compound is conjugated with the highest efficiency of those tested. Micellar catalysts can thus be viewed as simple models for the glutathione transferases highlighting the influence of a positive electrostatic field and a non-specific hydrophobic binding site, pertaining to two catalytic aspects, namely thiolate anion stabilization and solvent shielding.

Polymeric micelle-based bioassay with femtomolar sensitivity.

Project description:Target-specific polymeric micelles loaded with fluorescence dye molecules in their hydrophobic cores were made from block copolymer of poly(caprolactones)23-b-poly(ethylene oxide)45. It was found that the micelles are stable against pH changes from pH 2 to 12 and temperature variation up to 65 degrees C. The dye molecules can be released to the solution on exposing the micelles to organic solvents or ultrasound. A rapid and highly sensitive immunoassay based on the above micelles was developed, and the assay can detect specific target proteins in the femtomolar range from complex biological samples such as serum mimics and cell lysate. For example, less than 0.15 U/ml of ovarian cancer-specific antigen 125, equivalent to 7.5 x 10(-15)M, can be reliably detected in solution. We also demonstrated that the assay can detect a cell surface biomarker, stage-specific embryonic antigen 4, from a single human embryonic stem cell.
