Asymmetric Synthesis of Inhibitors of Glycinamide Ribonucleotide Transformylase
摘要:
Glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase (GAR Tfase) catalyzes the first of two formyl transfer steps in the de novo purine biosynthetic pathway that require folate cofactors and has emerged as a productive target for antineoplastic therapeutic intervention. The asymmetric synthesis and evaluation of the two diastereomers of 10-methylthio-DDACTHF (10R-3 and 10S-3) and related analogues as potential inhibitors of GAR Tfase are reported. This work, which defines the importance of the C10 stereochemistry for this class of inhibitors of GAR Tfase, revealed that both diastereomers are potent inhibitors of rhGAR Tfase (10R-3 K-i = 210 nM, 10S-3 K-i = 180 nM) that exhibit effective cell growth inhibition (CCRF-CEM IC50 80 and 50 nM, respectively), which is dependent on intracellular polyglutamation by folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS) but not intracellular transport by the reduced folate carrier.

A manganese-catalyzedelectrochemicaldeconstructivechlorination of cycloalkanols has been developed. This electrochemical method provides access to alkoxyradicals from alcohols and exhibits a broad substrate scope, with various cyclopropanols and cyclobutanols converted into synthetically useful β- and γ-chlorinated ketones (40 examples).

Staphylococcus aureus is a rapidly growing health threat in the U.S., with resistance to several commonly prescribed treatments. A high-throughput screen identified the antihistamine terfenadine to possess, previously unreported, antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and other Gram-positive bacteria. In an effort to repurpose this drug, structure-activity relationship studies yielded 84 terfenadine-based analogues with several modifications providing increased activity versus S. aureus and other bacterial pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mechanism of action studies revealed these compounds to exert their antibacterial effects, at least in part, through inhibition of the bacterial type II topoisomerases. This scaffold suffers from hERG liabilities which were not remedied through this round of optimization; however, given the overall improvement in activity of the set, terfenadine-based analogues provide a novel structural class of antimicrobial compounds with potential for further characterization as part of the continuing process to meet the current need for new antibiotics.
