Synthesis and evaluation of ether-linked demethylepipodophyllotoxin dimers.

Project description:A series of novel ether-linked dimers of demethylepipodophyllotoxin are topoisomerase II poisons that exhibit higher levels of double-stranded versus single-stranded DNA cleavage than their corresponding monomers. The dimers also have higher levels of tumor cell cytotoxicity than the monomers, lending support to the two-drug model for interaction of demethylepipodophyllotoxins with human topoisomerase II?.

Identification of disulfide cross-linked tau dimer responsible for tau propagation.

Project description:Recent evidence suggests that tau aggregates are not only neurotoxic, but also propagate in neurons acting as a seed for native tau aggregation. Prion-like tau transmission is now considered as an important pathogenic mechanism driving the progression of tau pathology in the brain. However, prion-like tau species have not been clearly characterized. To identify infectious tau conformers, here we prepared diverse tau aggregates and evaluated the effect on inducing intracellular tau-aggregation. Among tested, tau dimer containing P301L-mutation is identified as the most infectious form to induce tau pathology. Biochemical analysis reveals that P301L-tau dimer is covalently cross-linked with a disulfide bond. The relatively small and covalently cross-linked tau dimer induced tau pathology efficiently in primary neurons and also in tau-transgenic mice. So far, the importance of tau disulfide cross-linking has been overlooked in the study of tau pathology. Here our results suggested that tau disulfide cross-linking might play critical role in tau propagation by producing structurally stable and small tau conformers.

A new COF linked by an ether linkage (-O-): synthesis, characterization and application in supercapacitance.

Project description:A new COF (NWNU-COF-4) linked by an aryl ether bond (Ar-O-Ar) was synthesized by the condensation reaction of 2,4,6-trihydroxypyrimidine and trinitrophenol under simple and easy reaction conditions. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N2 adsorption-desorption, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to characterize the product. The BET specific surface area of NWNU-COF-4 was 21.33 m2 g-1, and its pore size was about 1.351 nm. Additionally, this method of preparation was simple and cheap. The electrochemical measurements showed that the synthesized NWNU-COF-4 had excellent pseudocapacitive performance with maximum specific capacitance of 133.44 F g-1 at 0.3 A g-1 in 6 mol L-1 KOH electrolyte. When the current density increased by 10 times (3.0 A g-1), the specific capacitance was 114.12 F g-1, and the retention rate was 82%. After 10 000 GCD cycles, the capacitance still kept 94% of its initial capacitance.

Linked magnolol dimer as a selective PPAR? agonist - Structure-based rational design, synthesis, and bioactivity evaluation.

Project description:The nuclear receptors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? (PPAR?) and its hetero-dimerization partner retinoid X receptor ? (RXR?) are considered as drug targets in the treatment of diseases like the metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus type 2. Effort has been made to develop new agonists for PPAR? to obtain ligands with more favorable properties than currently used drugs. Magnolol was previously described as dual agonist of PPAR? and RXR?. Here we show the structure-based rational design of a linked magnolol dimer within the ligand binding domain of PPAR? and its synthesis. Furthermore, we evaluated its binding properties and functionality as a PPAR? agonist in vitro with the purified PPAR? ligand binding domain (LBD) and in a cell-based nuclear receptor transactivation model in HEK293 cells. We determined the synthesized magnolol dimer to bind with much higher affinity to the purified PPAR? ligand binding domain than magnolol (K i values of 5.03 and 64.42?nM, respectively). Regarding their potency to transactivate a PPAR?-dependent luciferase gene both compounds were equally effective. This is likely due to the PPAR? specificity of the newly designed magnolol dimer and lack of RXR?-driven transactivation activity by this dimeric compound.

Stereocontrolled cyanohydrin ether synthesis through chiral Bronsted acid-mediated vinyl ether hydrocyanation.

Project description:Vinyl ethers can be protonated to generate oxocarbenium ions that react with Me3SiCN to form cyanohydrin alkyl ethers. Reactions that form racemic products proceed efficiently upon conversion of the vinyl ether to an ?-chloro ether prior to cyanide addition in a pathway that proceeds through Brønsted acid-mediated chloride ionization. Enantiomerically enriched products can be accessed by directly protonating the vinyl ether with a chiral Brønsted acid to form a chiral ion pair. Me3SiCN acts as the nucleophile and PhOH serves as a stoichiometric proton source in a rare example of asymmetric bimolecular nucleophilic addition into an oxocarbenium ion. Computational studies have provided a model for the interaction between the catalyst and the oxocarbenium ion.

Synthesis of novel cross-linked s-triazine-containing poly(aryl ether)s nanoparticles for biological fluorescent labeling.

Project description:A blue-fluorescence 2,4,6-tris(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TFPT) monomer was synthesized with high yield and high purity under mild reaction conditions. The TFPT, which had three active fluoric groups, was facilely incorporated into stable cross-linked fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles (FCPNs) via precipitation polymerization with 6-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyridazin-3(2H)-one (HPZ). The FCPNs were highly dispersible in water and showed uniform size, intense blue fluorescence, and excellent biocompatibility, making them promising for live cell imaging label applications. This work has the potential to promote the exploitation of novel s-triazine monomers, and to provide a new view of functional crossing-linked polymers based on such monomers.

Dictyostelium uses ether-linked inositol phospholipids for intracellular signalling.

Project description:Inositol phospholipids are critical regulators of membrane biology throughout eukaryotes. The general principle by which they perform these roles is conserved across species and involves binding of differentially phosphorylated inositol head groups to specific protein domains. This interaction serves to both recruit and regulate the activity of several different classes of protein which act on membrane surfaces. In mammalian cells, these phosphorylated inositol head groups are predominantly borne by a C38:4 diacylglycerol backbone. We show here that the inositol phospholipids of Dictyostelium are different, being highly enriched in an unusual C34:1e lipid backbone, 1-hexadecyl-2-(11Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-myo-inositol), in which the sn-1 position contains an ether-linked C16:0 chain; they are thus plasmanylinositols. These plasmanylinositols respond acutely to stimulation of cells with chemoattractants, and their levels are regulated by PIPKs, PI3Ks and PTEN. In mammals and now in Dictyostelium, the hydrocarbon chains of inositol phospholipids are a highly selected subset of those available to other phospholipids, suggesting that different molecular selectors are at play in these organisms but serve a common, evolutionarily conserved purpose.

Structural basis for the RING-catalyzed synthesis of K63-linked ubiquitin chains.

Project description:RING E3 ligase-catalyzed formation of K63-linked ubiquitin chains by the Ube2V2-Ubc13 E2 complex is required in many important biological processes. Here we report the structure of the RING-domain dimer of rat RNF4 in complex with a human Ubc13∼Ub conjugate and Ube2V2. The structure has captured Ube2V2 bound to the acceptor (priming) ubiquitin with K63 in a position favorable for attack on the linkage between Ubc13 and the donor (second) ubiquitin held in the active 'folded back' conformation by the RING domain of RNF4. We verified the interfaces identified in the structure by in vitro ubiquitination assays of site-directed mutants. To our knowledge, this represents the first view of synthesis of K63-linked ubiquitin chains in which both substrate ubiquitin and ubiquitin-loaded E2 are juxtaposed to allow E3 ligase-mediated catalysis.

Hyperoxidation of ether-linked phospholipids accelerates neutrophil extracellular trap formation.

Project description:Because neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is involved in the pathology of a wide variety of diseases, NET-regulating compounds are expected to be useful for the therapies of these diseases. In this study, we identified sulfasalazine (SSZ) as a potent enhancer of NET formation both in vitro and in vivo. Although SSZ did not increase the amount of ROS generated, it accelerated the generation of ether-linked oxidized phospholipids, such as PE (18;1e/15-HETE) and PC (16;0e/13-HODE). Trolox, but not 2-ME, effectively suppressed lipid oxidation and NET formation that were induced by SSZ. SSZ is known as a potent inducer of ferroptosis in cancer cells by inhibiting xCT, a component of the cystine transporter. However, we found that SSZ accelerated NET formation in an xCT-independent manner. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that the sulfapyridine moiety of SSZ plays a central role in enhancing NET formation. Furthermore, we found that two additional sulfonamide and sulfone derivatives possess NET-inducing activity by accelerating lipid oxidation. These results indicate that the hyperoxidation of ether-linked phospholipids is a key mechanism for accelerating NET formation.

Peroxisome-driven ether-linked phospholipids biosynthesis is essential for ferroptosis.

Project description:It is well established that ferroptosis is primarily induced by peroxidation of long-chain poly-unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) through nonenzymatic oxidation by free radicals or enzymatic stimulation of lipoxygenase. Although there is emerging evidence that long-chain saturated fatty acid (SFA) might be implicated in ferroptosis, it remains unclear whether and how SFA participates in the process of ferroptosis. Using endogenous metabolites and genome-wide CRISPR screening, we have identified FAR1 as a critical factor for SFA-mediated ferroptosis. FAR1 catalyzes the reduction of C16 or C18 saturated fatty acid to fatty alcohol, which is required for the synthesis of alkyl-ether lipids and plasmalogens. Inactivation of FAR1 diminishes SFA-dependent ferroptosis. Furthermore, FAR1-mediated ferroptosis is dependent on peroxisome-driven ether phospholipid biosynthesis. Strikingly, TMEM189, a newly identified gene which introduces vinyl-ether double bond into alkyl-ether lipids to generate plasmalogens abrogates FAR1-alkyl-ether lipids axis induced ferroptosis. Our study reveals a new FAR1-ether lipids-TMEM189 axis dependent ferroptosis pathway and suggests TMEM189 as a promising druggable target for anticancer therapy.
