Plinabulin and KPU-300 are promising anti-microtubule agents; however, the low water solubility of these compounds (<0.1 µg/mL) has limited their pharmaceutical advantages. Here, we developed five water-soluble derivatives of plinabulin and KPU-300 with a click strategy using disodium salts of amino acids. The mother skeleton, diketopiperazine (DKP), was transformed into a monolactim-type alkyne and a copper-catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) combined azides that was derived from amino acids as a water-solubilizing moiety. The conversion of carboxyl groups into disodium salts greatly improved the water solubility by 0.8 million times compared to the solubility of the parent molecules. In addition, the α-amino acid side chains of the water-solubilizing moieties affected both the water solubility and the half-lives of the compounds during enzymatic hydrolysis. Our effort to develop a variety of water-soluble derivatives using the click strategy has revealed that the replaceable water-solubilizing moieties can alter molecular solubility and stability under enzymatic hydrolysis. With this flexibility, we are approaching to the in vivo study using water-soluble derivative. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: 4-Hydroxycoumarin (1) is a useful synthon in synthetic organic chemistry and a basic skeleton of several bioactive compounds. The direct functionalization of 1 with novel catalytic system would provide an efficient meaning for construction of a chemical library. Here, we developed a new catalytic system using palladium(II) acetate for the C3 regioselective mono-arylation of 1. The 3-mono-arylated and the 3,4-disubstituted coumarins were synthesized to enable derivatization. This palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of 1 is effective for rapid diversification and chemical library construction. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is known to be a carcinogenic agent that causes AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). When KSHV infects host's cells, one of the virus's proteins, latency-associated nuclear antigen 1 (LANA), binds to the host's nucleosomes to retain episomes and create latency circumstances. Although the infectious mechanism of KSHV is partly elucidated, the development of drug candidates for targeting KS is ongoing. In this study, we developed cyclic peptides corresponding to an N -terminal LANA sequence that disrupt the LANA–nucleosome interaction. The cyclic peptides showed a different secondary structure compared to their corresponding linear peptide derivatives, which suggests that our cyclization strategy imitates the N -terminal LANA binding conformation on nucleosomes.

[Display omitted] Development of selective or dual proteasome subunit inhibitors based on syringolin B as a scaffold is described. We focused our efforts on a structure–activity relationship study of inhibitors with various substituents at the 3-position of the macrolactam moiety of syringolin B analogue to evaluate whether this would be sufficient to confer subunit selectivity by using sets of analogues with hydrophobic, basic and acidic substituents, which were designed to target Met45, Glu53 and Arg45 embedded in the S1 subsite, respectively. The structure–activity relationship study using systematic analogues provided insight into the origin of the subunit-selective inhibitory activity. This strategy would be sufficient to confer subunit selectivity regarding β5 and β2 subunits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: We report the design and synthesis of a series of dipeptide-type inhibitors with novel P3 scaffolds that display potent inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV 3CLpro. A docking study involving binding between the dipeptidic lead compound 4 and 3CLpro suggested the modification of a structurally flexible P3 N-(3-methoxyphenyl)glycine with various rigid P3 moieties in 4. The modifications led to the identification of several potent derivatives, including 5c–k and 5n with the inhibitory activities (K i or IC50) in the submicromolar to nanomolar range. Compound 5h, in particular, displayed the most potent inhibitory activity, with a K i value of 0.006 μM. This potency was 65-fold higher than the potency of the lead compound 4 (K i = 0.39 μM). In addition, the K i value of 5h was in very good agreement with the binding affinity (16 nM) observed in isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). A SAR study around the P3 group in the lead 4 led to the identification of a rigid indole-2-carbonyl unit as one of the best P3 moieties (5c). Further optimization showed that a methoxy substitution at the 4-position on the indole unit was highly favorable for enhancing the inhibitory potency. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: This work describes the design, synthesis, and evaluation of low-molecular weight peptidic SARS-CoV 3CL protease inhibitors. The inhibitors were designed based on the potent tripeptidic Z-Val-Leu-Ala(pyrrolidone-3-yl)-2-benzothiazole (8; K i = 4.1 nM), in which the P3 valine unit was substituted with a variety of distinct moieties. The resulting series of dipeptide-type inhibitors displayed moderate to good inhibitory activities against 3CLpro. In particular, compounds 26m and 26n exhibited good inhibitory activities with K i values of 0.39 and 0.33 μM, respectively. These low-molecular weight compounds are attractive leads for the further development of potent peptidomimetic inhibitors with pharmaceutical profiles. Docking studies were performed to model the binding interaction of the compound 26m with the SARS-CoV 3CL protease. The preliminary SAR study of the peptidomimetic compounds with potent inhibitory activities revealed several structural features that boosted the inhibitory activity: (i) a benzothiazole warhead at the S1′ position, (ii) a γ-lactam unit at the S1-position, (iii) an appropriately hydrophobic leucine moiety at the S2-position, and (iv) a hydrogen bond between the N-arylglycine unit and a backbone hydrogen bond donor at the S3-position.

Abstract: We describe here the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of molecules toward the development of novel peptidomimetic inhibitors of SARS-CoV 3CLpro. A docking study involving binding between the initial lead compound 1 and the SARS-CoV 3CLpro motivated the replacement of a thiazole with a benzothiazole unit as a warhead moiety at the P1′ site. This modification led to the identification of more potent derivatives, including 2i, 2k, 2m, 2o, and 2p, with IC50 or K i values in the submicromolar to nanomolar range. In particular, compounds 2i and 2p exhibited the most potent inhibitory activities, with K i values of 4.1 and 3.1nM, respectively. The peptidomimetic compounds identified through this process are attractive leads for the development of potential therapeutic agents against SARS. The structural requirements of the peptidomimetics with potent inhibitory activities against SARS-CoV 3CLpro may be summarized as follows: (i) the presence of a benzothiazole warhead at the S1′-position; (ii) hydrogen bonding capabilities at the cyclic lactam of the S1-site; (iii) appropriate stereochemistry and hydrophobic moiety size at the S2-site and (iv) a unique folding conformation assumed by the phenoxyacetyl moiety at the S4-site.

Abstract: KPU-105 (4), a potent anti-microtubule agent that contains a benzophenone was derived from the diketopiperazine-type vascular disrupting agent (VDA) plinabulin 3, which displays colchicine-like tubulin depolymerization activity. To develop derivatives with more potent anti-microtubule and cytotoxic activities, we further modified the benzophenone moiety of 4. Accordingly, we obtained a 4-fluorobenzophenone derivative 16j that inhibited tumor cell growth in vitro with a subnanomolar IC50 value against HT-29 cells (IC50 =0.5nM). Next, the effect of 16j on mitotic spindles was evaluated in HeLa cells. Treatment with 3nM of 16j partially disrupted the interphase microtubule network. By contrast, treatment with the same concentration of CA-4 barely affected the microtubule network, indicating that 16j exhibited more potent anti-mitotic effects than did CA-4.

Abstract: A new bioactive photoaffinity probe KPU-252-B1 (4) possessing a biotin tag on the oxazole ring of a potent plinabulin derivative KPU-244 (2) was synthesized via the CuI-catalyzed Huisgen’s cycloaddition reaction to understand the precise binding mode of the diketopiperazine-based anti-microtubule agent plinabulin on tubulin. Probe 4 showed significant binding affinity toward tubulin and cytotoxicity against an HT-29 cells. A photoaffinity labeling study suggested that probe 4 specifically recognizes tubulin at a binding site that binds plinabulin or colchicine, most likely near or at the colchicine binding site, which is located at the interfacial region formed by α-and β-tubulin association. The results also demonstrated that probe 4 may serve as a useful plinabulin chemical probe to investigate the molecular mechanism by which anti-microtubule diketopiperazine derivatives operate.

Abstract: Plinabulin (1, NPI-2358), a potent microtubule-targeting agent derived from the natural diketopiperazine ‘phenylahistin’ with a colchicine-like tubulin depolymerization activity, is an anticancer agent undergoing Phase II clinical trials in four countries including the United States. In order to understand the precise binding mode of plinabulin with tubulin, a new bioactive biotin-tagged photoaffinity probe 4 (KPU-244-B3) was designed and synthesized. Probe 4 showed significant binding affinity to tubulin in a binding assay, and selectively bound to tubulin in an HT-1080 cell lysate without photo-irradiation. In a tubulin photoaffinity labeling study, probe 4 labeled both α- and β-tubulin subunits and these interactions were competitively inhibited by plinabulin during photo-irradiation. These results suggest that plinabulin binds in the boundary region between α- and β-tubulin near the colchicine binding site, and not inside the colchicine binding cavity. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: (+)-Negamycin was prepared in 13 steps in an overall yield of 31% from commercially available ethyl (R)-(+)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate. The key step in the reaction sequence was a highly stereoselective asymmetric Michael addition of chiral amine (−)-21 [(1S,2R)-(−)-2-methoxybornyl-10-benzylamine] into the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety of key intermediate 8, thus establishing the second chiral center in (+)-negamycin. 5-epi-Negamycin was also prepared in a similar fashion.

[Display omitted] To develop methodology to predict the potential druggability of middle molecules, we examined the structure, solubility, and permeability relationships of a diverse library (HKDL ver.1) consisting of 510 molecules (359 natural product derivatives, 76 non-natural products, 46 natural products, and 29 non-natural product derivatives). The library included peptides, depsipeptides, macrolides, and lignans, and 476 of the 510 compounds had a molecular weight in the range of 500–2000 Da. The solubility and passive diffusion velocity of the middle molecules were assessed using the parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA). Quantitative values of solubility of 471 molecules and passive diffusion velocity of 287 molecules were obtained, and their correlations with the structural features of the molecules were examined. Based on the results, we propose a method to predict the passive diffusion characteristics of middle molecules from their three-dimensional structural features. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
