A convergent synthesis of carbocyclic sinefungin and its C5 epimer.

ABSTRACT: A convergent synthesis of carbocyclic sinefungin 2 and its C5 epimer 3 is described. The key features in our synthesis include the use of commercial available L-methionine and readily available (1R, 4S)-4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenyl acetate as starting materials, cross-metathesis coupling, enzymatic kinetic resolution and Staudinger reduction. The current synthesis is flexible and therefore provides convenient access to the synthesis of various carbocyclic SIN analogues for biological evaluation.

Convergent Synthesis of Thioether Containing Peptides.

Project description:Thioether containing peptides were obtained following three synthetic routes. In route A, halo acids esterified on 2-chlorotrityl(Cltr) resin were reacted with N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) aminothiols. These were either cleaved from the resin to the corresponding (Fmoc-aminothiol)carboxylic acids, which were used as key building blocks in solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), or the N-Fmoc group was deprotected and peptide chains were elongated by standard SPPS. The obtained N-Fmoc protected thioether containing peptides were then condensed either in solution, or on solid support, with the appropriate amino components of peptides. In route B, the thioether containing peptides were obtained by the reaction of N-Fmoc aminothiols with bromoacetylated peptides, which were synthesized on Cltr-resin, followed by removal of the N-Fmoc group and subsequent peptide elongation by standard SPPS. In route C, the thioether containing peptides were obtained by the condensation of a haloacylated peptide synthesized on Cltr-resin and a thiol-peptide synthesized either on 4-methoxytrityl(Mmt) or trityl(Trt) resin.

Highly convergent total synthesis of (+)-acutiphycin.

Project description:An enantioselective, convergent, total synthesis of (+)-acutiphycin (18 steps, longest linear sequence from commercial materials) features the first application of an alkynyl ether as a macrolactone precursor in total synthesis, as well as the first example of an intermolecular, SmI2-mediated, Reformatsky fragment coupling reaction. The high convergence, efficiency, and modular nature of this synthesis make it amenable to the synthesis of structurally related compounds.

A convergent total synthesis of ouabagenin.

Project description:A convergent total synthesis of ouabagenin, an aglycon of cardenolide glycoside ouabain, was achieved by assembly of the AB-ring, D-ring and butenolide moieties. The multiply oxygenated cis-decalin structure of the AB-ring was constructed from (R)-perillaldehyde through the Diels-Alder reaction and sequential oxidations. The intermolecular acetal formation of the AB-ring and D-ring fragments, and combination of the intramolecular radical and aldol reactions, assembled the requisite steroidal skeleton in a stereoselective fashion. Finally, stereoselective installation of the C17-butenolide via the Stille coupling and hydrogenation led to ouabagenin.

Convergent evolution of bacterial ceramide synthesis.

Project description:The bacterial domain produces numerous types of sphingolipids with various physiological functions. In the human microbiome, commensal and pathogenic bacteria use these lipids to modulate the host inflammatory system. Despite their growing importance, their biosynthetic pathway remains undefined since several key eukaryotic ceramide synthesis enzymes have no bacterial homolog. Here we used genomic and biochemical approaches to identify six proteins comprising the complete pathway for bacterial ceramide synthesis. Bioinformatic analyses revealed the widespread potential for bacterial ceramide synthesis leading to our discovery of a Gram-positive species that produces ceramides. Biochemical evidence demonstrated that the bacterial pathway operates in a different order from that in eukaryotes. Furthermore, phylogenetic analyses support the hypothesis that the bacterial and eukaryotic ceramide pathways evolved independently.

Parallel chemoenzymatic synthesis of sialosides containing a C5-diversified sialic acid.

Project description:A convenient chemoenzymatic strategy for synthesizing sialosides containing a C5-diversified sialic acid was developed. The alpha2,3- and alpha2,6-linked sialosides containing a 5-azido neuraminic acid synthesized by a highly efficient one-pot three-enzyme approach were converted to C5''-amino sialosides, which were used as common intermediates for chemical parallel synthesis to quickly generate a series of sialosides containing various sialic acid forms.

Synthesis and biophysical properties of C5-functionalized LNA (locked nucleic acid).

Project description:Oligonucleotides modified with conformationally restricted nucleotides such as locked nucleic acid (LNA) monomers are used extensively in molecular biology and medicinal chemistry to modulate gene expression at the RNA level. Major efforts have been devoted to the design of LNA derivatives that induce even higher binding affinity and specificity, greater enzymatic stability, and more desirable pharmacokinetic profiles. Most of this work has focused on modifications of LNA's oxymethylene bridge. Here, we describe an alternative approach for modulation of the properties of LNA: i.e., through functionalization of LNA nucleobases. Twelve structurally diverse C5-functionalized LNA uridine (U) phosphoramidites were synthesized and incorporated into oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ONs), which were then characterized with respect to thermal denaturation, enzymatic stability, and fluorescence properties. ONs modified with monomers that are conjugated to small alkynes display significantly improved target affinity, binding specificity, and protection against 3'-exonucleases relative to regular LNA. In contrast, ONs modified with monomers that are conjugated to bulky hydrophobic alkynes display lower target affinity yet much greater 3'-exonuclease resistance. ONs modified with C5-fluorophore-functionalized LNA-U monomers enable fluorescent discrimination of targets with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In concert, these properties render C5-functionalized LNA as a promising class of building blocks for RNA-targeting applications and nucleic acid diagnostics.

Chemical synthesis and characterisation of the complement C5 inhibitory peptide zilucoplan.

Project description:The complement component C5 inhibitory peptide zilucoplan is currently in phase III clinical trials for myasthenia gravis (MG). Despite being at an advanced stage of clinical development, there have been no published reports in the literature detailing its chemical synthesis. In this work, we describe an approach for the chemical synthesis of zilucoplan and validate that the synthesised compound blocks LPS-induced C5a production from human blood.

Bacterial synthesis of C3-C5 diols via extending amino acid catabolism.

Project description:Amino acids are naturally occurring and structurally diverse metabolites in biological system, whose potentials for chemical expansion, however, have not been fully explored. Here, we devise a metabolic platform capable of producing industrially important C3-C5 diols from amino acids. The presented platform combines the natural catabolism of charged amino acids with a catalytically efficient and thermodynamically favorable diol formation pathway, created by expanding the substrate scope of the carboxylic acid reductase toward noncognate ω-hydroxylic acids. Using the established platform as gateways, seven different diol-convertible amino acids are converted to diols including 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, and 1,5-pentanediol. Particularly, we afford to optimize the production of 1,4-butanediol and demonstrate the de novo production of 1,5-pentanediol from glucose, with titers reaching 1.41 and 0.97 g l-1, respectively. Our work presents a metabolic platform that enriches the pathway repertoire for nonnatural diols with feedstock flexibility to both sugar and protein hydrolysates.

Convergent synthesis of a beta-(1-->3)-mannohexaose.

Project description:An as yet unknown beta-(1-->3)-mannohexaose has been synthesized by a block route involving the coupling of two trisaccharides. Comparison of three closely related attempted mannohexaose syntheses reinforces the influence of subtle matching and/or mismatching interactions on the outcome of convergent oligosaccharide synthesis.

Convergent synthesis of alpha-ketoamide inhibitors of Pin1.

Project description:A convergent synthesis of alpha-ketoamide inhibitors of Pin1 is described. An alpha-hydroxyorthothioester derivative of Ser was reacted directly with an amine synthon. The reaction was catalyzed by HgO and HgCl(2) to form alpha-hydroxyamide. Thus, hydrolysis and coupling were combined in one step with 80% yield. Two diastereomers of a phospho-Ser-Pro alpha-ketoamide analogue were synthesized. The IC(50) values of 100 and 200 microM were surprisingly weak for Pin1 peptidyl prolyl isomerase.
