Janus All-Cis 2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorocyclohexyl Building Blocks Applied to Medicinal Chemistry and Bioactives Discovery Chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Monoalkylated derivatives of the unusually polar all-cis 2,3,4,5,6- pentafluorocyclohexyl (Janus face) motif are prepared starting from an aryl hydrogenation of 2,3,4,5,6- pentafluorophenylacetate methyl ester 15. The method used Zeng's Rh(CAAC) carbene catalyst 4 in the hydrogenation following the protocol developed by Glorius. The resultant Janus pentafluorocyclohexylacetate methyl ester 16 was converted to the corresponding alcohol 18, aldehyde 13, bromide 29 and azide 14 through functional group manipulations, and some of these building blocks were used in Ugi-multicomponent and Cu-catalysed click reactions. NBoc protected pentafluoroarylphenylalanine methyl ester 35 was also subject to an aryl hydrogenation, and then deprotection to generate the Janus face β-pentafluorocyclohexyl-alanine amino acid 15, which was incorporated into representative members of an emerging class of candidate antiviral compounds. Log P measurements demonstrate that the all-cis 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorocyclohexyl ring system is more polar than a phenyl ring. In overview the paper introduces new building blocks containing this Janus ring and demonstrates their progression to molecules typically used in bioactives discovery programmes.

Supramolecular packing of alkyl substituted Janus face all-cis 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorocyclohexyl motifs.

Project description:This study uses X-ray crystallography, theory and Langmuir isotherm analysis to explore the conformations and molecular packing of alkyl all-cis 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorocyclohexyl motifs, which are prepared by direct aryl hydrogenations from alkyl- or vinyl-pentafluoroaryl benzenes. Favoured conformations retain the more polar triaxial C-F bond arrangement of the all-cis 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorocyclohexyl ring systems with the alkyl substituent adopting an equatorial orientation, and accommodating strong supramolecular interactions between rings. Langmuir isotherm analysis on a water subphase of a long chain fatty acid and alcohol carrying terminal all-cis 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorocyclohexyl rings do not show any indication of monolayer assembly relative to their cyclohexane analogues, instead the molecules appear to aggregate and form higher molecular assemblies prior to compression. The study indicates the power and potential of this ring system as a motif for ordering supramolecular assembly.

Discovery of monoamine oxidase inhibitors by medicinal chemistry approaches.

Project description:Neuropsychiatric disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and depression, have seriously inconvenienced the lives of patients. Growing evidence indicates that these diseases are closely related to the monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzyme, making it an attractive target for the exploitation of potent MAO inhibitors (MAOIs) with high selectivity and low side effects. Although various MAOIs have been discovered, the discovery of an ideal MAOI is not an easy task. In this review, we discuss the currently available rational design strategies for obtaining ideal MAOIs, including ligand-based and receptor-based design strategies, and these strategies were further illustrated with the aid of specific examples from the recent literature. To better understanding the biological activity of MAO, we also highlight the binding modes of typical inhibitors against MAO. Besides, advanced strategies for finding upcoming potent MAOIs were prospected.

2013 Philip S. Portoghese Medicinal Chemistry Lectureship: drug discovery targeting allosteric sites.

Project description:The identification of sites on receptors topographically distinct from the orthosteric sites, so-called allosteric sites, has heralded novel approaches and modes of pharmacology for target modulation. Over the past 20 years, our understanding of allosteric modulation has grown significantly, and numerous advantages, as well as caveats (e.g., flat structure-activity relationships, species differences, "molecular switches"), have been identified. For multiple receptors and proteins, numerous examples have been described where unprecedented levels of selectivity are achieved along with improved physiochemical properties. While not a panacea, these novel approaches represent exciting opportunities for tool compound development to probe the pharmacology and therapeutic potential of discrete molecular targets, as well as new medicines. In this Perspective, in commemoration of the 2013 Philip S. Portoghese Medicinal Chemistry Lectureship ( Lindsley , C. W. Adventures in allosteric drug discovery . Presented at the 246th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Indianapolis, IN, September 10, 2013 ; The 2013 Portoghese Lectureship ), several vignettes of drug discovery campaigns targeting novel allosteric mechanisms will be recounted, along with lessons learned and guidelines that have emerged for successful lead optimization.

Discovery of dedicated EPHA2 inhibitors - Medicinal chemistry meets chemical proteomics

Project description:The receptor tyrosine kinase EPHA2 has gained interest as therapeutical drug target in cancer and infectious diseases in the past years. However, EPHA2 research and EPHA2 based therapies have been hampered by the lack of selective small molecule EPHA2 inhibitors. We report on the synthesis and evaluation of dedicated EPHA2 inhibitors based on the clinical BCR-ABL/SRC inhibitor Dasatinib as lead structure. We designed hybrid structures of Dasatinib, CHEBI-513815, PD-173955 and a known EPHB4 inhibitor aiming at the exploitation of the ATP pocket entrance and the ribose pocket. Medicinal chemistry and inhibitor design was guided by a chemical proteomic approach allowing for early selectivity profiling of the newly synthesized inhibitor candidates. Additionally, protein crystallography delivered detailed insight into the molecular interactions that consitute structure-affinity-relationships. Finally, the anti-proliferative effect of the inhibitor candidates was confirmed in the glioblastoma cell line SF-268. In this work, we discovered a novel EPHA2 inhibitor candidate 4a comprising an improved selectivity profile while maintaining potency against EPHA2 and anti-cancer activity in SF-268 cells.

Medicinal chemistry applied to a synthetic protein: development of highly potent HIV entry inhibitors.

Project description:We have used total chemical synthesis to perform high-resolution dissection of the pharmacophore of a potent anti-HIV protein, the aminooxypentane oxime of [glyoxylyl1]RANTES(2-68), known as AOP-RANTES, of which we designed and made 37 analogs. All involved incorporation of one or more rationally chosen nonnatural noncoded structures, for which we found a clear comparative advantage over coded ones. We investigated structure-activity relationships in the pharmacophore by screening the analogs for their ability to block the HIV entry process and produced a derivative, PSC-RANTES [N-nonanoyl, des-Ser1[L-thioproline2, L-cyclohexylglycine3]-RANTES(2-68)], which is 50 times more potent than AOP-RANTES. This promising group of compounds might be optimized yet further as potential prophylactic and therapeutic anti-HIV agents. The remarkable potency of our RANTES analogs probably involves the unusual mechanism of intracellular sequestration of CC-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5), and it has been suggested that this arises from enhanced affinity for the receptor. We found that inhibitory potency and capacity to induce CCR5 down-modulation do appear to be correlated, but that unexpectedly, inhibitory potency and affinity for CCR5 do not. We believe this study represents the proof of principle for the use of a medicinal chemistry approach, above all one showing the advantage of noncoded structures, to the optimization of the pharmacological properties of a protein. Medicinal chemistry of small molecules is the foundation of modern pharmaceutical practice, and we believe we have shown that techniques have now reached the point at which the approach could also be applied to the many macromolecular drugs now in common use.

1,2-Azaborine's Distinct Electronic Structure Unlocks Two New Regioisomeric Building Blocks via Resolution Chemistry.

Project description:Two new 1,2-azaborine building blocks that enable the broad diversification of previously not readily accessible C4 and C5 ring positions of the 1,2-azaborine heterocycle are developed. 1,2-Azaborine's distinct electronic structure allowed the resolution of a mixture of C4- and C5-borylated 1,2-azaborines. The connection between the electronic structure of C4 and C5 positions of 1,2-azaborine and their distinct reactivity patterns is revealed by a combination of reactivity studies and kinetic measurements that are supported by DFT calculations. Specifically, we show that oxidation by N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMO) is selective for the C4-borylated 1,2-azaborine, and the Ir-catalyzed deborylation is selective for the C5-borylated 1,2-azaborine via kinetically controlled processes. On the other hand, ligand exchange with diethanolamine takes place selectively with the C4-borylated isomer via a thermodynamically controlled process. These results represent the first examples for chemically distinguishing a mixture of two aryl mono-Bpin-substituted isomers.

Functionalized C3-Symmetric Building Blocks-The Chemistry of Triaminotrimesic Acid.

Project description:A series of C3-symmetric fully substituted benzenes were prepared based on alkyl triamino-benzene-tricarboxylates. Starting with a one step-synthesis, the alkyl triamino-benzene-tricarboxylates were synthesized using the corresponding cyanoacetates. The reactivity of these electronically sophisticated compounds was investigated by the formation of azides, the click reaction of the azides and a Sandmeyer-like reaction. Caused by the low stability of triaminobenzenes, direct N-alkylation was rarely reported. The use of the stable alkyl triamino-benzene-tricarboxylates allowed us total N-alkylation under standard alkylation conditions. The molecular structures of the C3-symmetric structures have been corroborated by an X-ray analysis.
