Synthesis of tritium-labelled isopenicillin N, penicillin N and 6-aminopenicillanic acid.

ABSTRACT: 1. Phenoxymethylpenicillin sulphoxide 4-methoxybenzyl ester was labelled with 3H in its 2-beta-methyl group. Its specific radioactivity was 362 mCi/mmol. 2. Removal of the side chain of this compound yielded the corresponding ester of 6-aminopenicillanic acid sulphoxide and coupling of the latter with the appropriate protected alpha-aminoadipic acid gave 4-methoxybenzyloxycarbonylisopenicillin N sulphoxide di-4-methoxybenzyl ester or the corresponding derivative of penicillin N. 3. Removal of the protective groups by hydrogenolysis and reduction of the sulphoxide group yielded 3H-labelled isopenicillin N or penicillin N. 4. 3H-labelled phenoxymethylpenicillin sulphoxide was obtained by hydrogenolysis from its 4-methoxybenzyl ester. Reduction of its sulphoxide group and subsequent removal of the side chain gave 3H-labelled 6-aminopenicillanic acid.

Behaviour of tritium-labelled isopenicillin N and 6-aminopenicillanic acid as potential penicillin precursors in an extract of Penicillum chrysogenum.

Project description:1. 3H was incorporated into solvent-soluble penicillin from isopenicillin N and 6-aminopenicillanic acid 3H-labelled in the 2beta-methyl group when the labelled compounds were incubated with a crude extract of Penicillum chrysogenum. 2. With a soluble protein fraction of the extract incorporation from isopenicillin N occurred on addition of phenyl-acetyl-CoA. 3. Labelled benzylpenicillin was isolated after incubation of the crude extract with phenylacetyl-CoA and isopenicillin and the addition of unlabelled benzylpenicillin as a carrier. 4. No incorporation of 3H into solvent-soluble penicillin was detected on incubation of these extracts with penicillin N.

Preclinical Pharmacokinetic Studies of the Tritium Labelled D-Enantiomeric Peptide D3 Developed for the Treatment of Alzheimer´s Disease.

Project description:Targeting toxic amyloid beta (A?) oligomers is currently a very attractive drug development strategy for treatment of Alzheimer´s disease. Using mirror-image phage display against A?1-42, we have previously identified the fully D-enantiomeric peptide D3, which is able to eliminate A? oligomers and has proven therapeutic potential in transgenic Alzheimer´s disease animal models. However, there is little information on the pharmacokinetic behaviour of D-enantiomeric peptides in general. Therefore, we conducted experiments with the tritium labelled D-peptide D3 (3H-D3) in mice with different administration routes to study its distribution in liver, kidney, brain, plasma and gastrointestinal tract, as well as its bioavailability by i.p. and p.o. administration. In addition, we investigated the metabolic stability in liver microsomes, mouse plasma, brain, liver and kidney homogenates, and estimated the plasma protein binding. Based on its high stability and long biological half-life, our pharmacokinetic results support the therapeutic potential of D-peptides in general, with D3 being a new promising drug candidate for Alzheimer´s disease treatment.

Synthesis of [13C?]-B6 Vitamers Labelled at Three Consecutive Positions Starting from [13C?]-Propionic Acid.

Project description:[13C?]-labelled vitamers (PN, PL and PM) of the B6 group were prepared starting from [13C?]-propionic acid. [13C?]-PN was synthesized in ten linear steps with an overall yield of 17%. Hereby, higher alkyl homologues of involved esters showed a positive impact on the reaction outcome of the intermediates in the chosen synthetic route. Oxidation of [13C?]-PN to [13C?]-PL was undertaken using potassium permanganate and methylamine followed by acid hydrolysis of the imine derivative. [13C?]-PM could be prepared from the oxime derivative of [13C?]-PN by hydrogenation with palladium.

Synthesis of <sup>15</sup> N-labelled 3,5-dimethylpyridine.

Project description:15 N-labelled pyridines are liquid- and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probes for chemical and biological environments because their 15 N chemical shifts are sensitive to hydrogen-bond and protonation states. By variation of the type and number of substituents, different target pyridines can be synthesized exhibiting different pKa values and molecular volumes. Various synthetic routes have been described in the literature, starting from different precursors or modification of other 15 N-labelled pyridines. In this work, we have explored the synthesis of 15 N 15 N-labelled pyridines using a two-step process via the synthesis of alkoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran as precursor exhibiting already the desired pyridine substitution pattern. As an example, we have synthesized 3,5-dimethylpyridine-15 N (lutidine-15 N) as demonstrated by 15 N-NMR spectroscopy. That synthesis starts from methacrolein, propenyl ether, and 15 N-labelled NH4 Cl as nitrogen source.

New synthesis and tritium labeling of a selective ligand for studying high-affinity ?-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) binding sites.

Project description:3-Hydroxycyclopent-1-enecarboxylic acid (HOCPCA, 1) is a potent ligand for the high-affinity GHB binding sites in the CNS. An improved synthesis of 1 together with a very efficient synthesis of [(3)H]-1 is described. The radiosynthesis employs in situ generated lithium trimethoxyborotritide. Screening of 1 against different CNS targets establishes a high selectivity, and we demonstrate in vivo brain penetration. In vitro characterization of [(3)H]-1 binding shows high specificity to the high-affinity GHB binding sites.

Synthesis of 11C-Labelled Ureas by Palladium(II)-Mediated Oxidative Carbonylation.

Project description:Positron emission tomography is an imaging technique with applications in clinical settings as well as in basic research for the study of biological processes. A PET tracer, a biologically active molecule where a positron-emitting radioisotope such as carbon-11 has been incorporated, is used for the studies. Development of robust methods for incorporation of the radioisotope is therefore of the utmost importance. The urea functional group is present in many biologically active compounds and is thus an attractive target for incorporation of carbon-11 in the form of [11C]carbon monoxide. Starting with amines and [11C]carbon monoxide, both symmetrical and unsymmetrical 11C-labelled ureas were synthesised via a palladium(II)-mediated oxidative carbonylation and obtained in decay-corrected radiochemical yields up to 65%. The added advantage of using [11C]carbon monoxide was shown by the molar activity obtained for an inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase (247 GBq/?mol-319 GBq/?mol). DFT calculations were found to support a reaction mechanism proceeding through an 11C-labelled isocyanate intermediate.

Synthesis, Pharmacological and Toxicological Screening of Penicillin-Triazole Conjugates (PNTCs).

Project description:A series of hybrid antimicrobial compounds were prepared by carboxylic acid protection of 6-aminopenicillanic acid using benzyl alcohol and thionyl chloride succeeded by azide displacement using trifluoromethanesulfonyl azide in dichloromethane. The azide thus formed was reacted with substituted alkynes to furnish benzyl-protected penicillin-triazole conjugates. Benzyl deprotection of the conjugates resulted in furnishing PNTCs under water methanol mixture using Pd/C as a catalyst. The PNTCs (7a-j) formed were screened for in vitro antibacterial potency against pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pyogenes and antifungal potency against Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus clavatus. Further antimicrobial evaluation revealed compounds 7c, 7d, 7e, 7g, and 7i to be the most compounds of the series with minimum inhibitory concentration value for antibacterial in the range 0.5-50 ?g/mL and for antifungal in the range 9-300 ?g/mL. Toxicological analysis documented for compounds 7c, 7d, 7e, 7g, and 7i revealed compound 7i to be the most promising member of the series with 1000 and 500 mg/kg LD50, and no-observed-adverse-effect level to facilitate future clinical studies of the same.

Imaging of pH in vivo using hyperpolarized 13C-labelled zymonic acid.

Project description:Natural pH regulatory mechanisms can be overruled during several pathologies such as cancer, inflammation and ischaemia, leading to local pH changes in the human body. Here we demonstrate that 13C-labelled zymonic acid (ZA) can be used as hyperpolarized magnetic resonance pH imaging sensor. ZA is synthesized from [1-13C]pyruvic acid and its 13C resonance frequencies shift up to 3.0?p.p.m. per pH unit in the physiological pH range. The long lifetime of the hyperpolarized signal enhancement enables monitoring of pH, independent of concentration, temperature, ionic strength and protein concentration. We show in vivo pH maps within rat kidneys and subcutaneously inoculated tumours derived from a mammary adenocarcinoma cell line and characterize ZA as non-toxic compound predominantly present in the extracellular space. We suggest that ZA represents a reliable and non-invasive extracellular imaging sensor to localize and quantify pH, with the potential to improve understanding, diagnosis and therapy of diseases characterized by aberrant acid-base balance.
