Asymmetric Synthesis of Sterically Hindered 1-Substituted Tetrahydro-β-carbolines Enabled by Imine Reductase: Enzyme Discovery, Protein Engineering, and Reaction Development
We report the discovery of a new iminereductase (IRED), named AtIRED, by genome mining. Site-saturation mutagenesis on AtIRED generated two single mutants M118′L and P120′G and the double mutant M118′L/P120′G with improved specific activity toward sterically hindered 1-substituted dihydro-β-carbolines. The synthetic potential of these engineered IREDs was showcased by the preparative-scale synthesis

AbstractMelatonin and its indoles derivatives are central in the synchronization of malaria parasites. In this research, we discovered that melatonin is unable to increase the parasitemia in the human malaria Plasmodium falciparum that lacks the kinase PfeIK1. The PfeIK1 knockout strain is a valuable tool in the screening of indol‐related compound that blocks the melatonin effect in wild‐type (WT) parasite development. The assays were performed by using flow cytometry with simultaneous labeling for mitochondria viability with MitoTracker Deep Red and nucleus staining with SYBR Green. We found that Melatotosil leads to an increase in parasitemia in P. falciparum and blocks melatonin effect in the WT parasite. Using microscopy imaging system, we found that Melatotosil at 500 nM is able to induce cytosolic calcium rise in transgenic PfGCaMP3 parasites. On the contrary, the compound Triptiofen blocks P. falciparum cell cycle with IC50 9.76 µM ± 0.6, inhibits melatonin action, and does not lead to a cytosolic calcium rise in PfGCaMP3 parasites. We also found that the synthetic indol‐related compounds arrested parasite cycle for PfeIK1 knockout and (WT) P. falciparum (3D7) in 72 hours culture assays with the IC50 values slighting lower for the WT strain. We concluded that the kinase PfeIK1 is central for melatonin downstream signaling pathways involved in parasite cell cycle progression. More importantly, the indol‐related compounds block its cycle as an upstream essential mechanism for parasite survival. Our data clearly show that this class of compounds emerge as an alternative for the problem of resistance with the classical antimalarials.
