Synthesis of Sulfur- and Sulfoxide-Substituted 2,3-Oxidosqualenes and Their Evaluation as Inhibitors of 2,3-Oxidosqualene-Lanosterol Cyclase
摘要:
2,3-Oxidosqualene (23-OS) analogs that contain thioether (52-55) and sulfoxide (56-60) at positions normally occupied by carbons considered to be cationic during 2,3-oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase (OSC) cyclization (C-6, C-10, C-14, and C-19) were synthesized and tested as substrate mimic inhibitors of fungal and mammalian OSC. The analogs were found to be potent inhibitors of cyclase in cell-free extracts of Candida albicans and rat liver. Thioether analogs were more potent than the corresponding sulfoxides. In both series, those 2,3-OS analogs containing a sulfur at the position normally occupied by C-19 were the most potent. With C. albicans cyclase, the IC50 for thioether 55 was 0.0023 mu M while 60 exhibited an IC50 of 0.065 mu M, which are the lowest values reported for a inhibitor of this enzyme. Similarly, thioether 55 displayed an IC50 of 0.00082 mu M for rat liver cyclase which is the best inhibitor up to date for this enzyme. These results suggest that mimics with modification in the region of C-19 of 2,3-OS have a high affinity for the active site of these enzymes. The same series of analogs (52-60) were also tested for inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis in intact MDBK (Madin Darbin bovine kidney) cells and for in vitro antifungal activity against C. albicans.

The present invention relates to a cyclisation process of forming a multiple ring compound from an isoprenoid compound. The cyclisation process involves reacting the isoprenoid compound with an acetal initiator under conditions sufficient to form the multiple ring compound. The isoprenoid compound is contacted with an initiator an optionally with a catalyst. Cyclisation occurs by reaction of the initiator with the isoprenoid compound. Cyclic acetal compounds wherein the acetal forms part of 6-membered unsaturated ring are also defined.
