Synthesis and DNA-cleaving activity of lactenediynes conjugated with DNA-complexing moieties
摘要:
Lactenediynes are compounds characterized by the fusion of a beta-lactam with a cyclodeca-3-ene-1,5-diyne. In this work the most promising members of this family have been activated by attaching a carbalkoxy or a carbamoyl group to the azetidinone nitrogen, and conjugated to various DNA-complexing moieties, either acting by intercalation or through groove binding. These conjugated artificial enediynes have been demonstrated to possess in vitro ability to produce single and double strand cleavage of plasmid DNA. As potency and capacity to induce double cut, they rank among the best simple enediyne analogues ever prepared. A thorough investigation was carried out in order to develop the best suited linkers for assembling these conjugates. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Curtius rearrangement of phenyl and heteroaryl acetic acids is described. We have developed a protocol for room temperature Curtius rearrangement in MeOH or CHCl3 that provides an improvement over standard conditions, avoiding the use of additives or heat. This room temperature optimization of the Curtius rearrangement prevents the formation of side products often observed with benzylicacids, allowing

A thorough analysis of the mechanism of inhibition of human leukocyte elastase (HLE) by a monocyclic beta-lactam and the mechanism of beta-lactam hydrolysis led to the preparation of potent and highly stable inhibitors of HLE. This work led to the identification of 4-[(4-carboxyphenyl)-oxy]-3,3-diethyl-1-[[(phenylmethyl)amino]carbonyl]-2-azetidinone (2) as the first orally active inhibitor of human leukocyte elastase (HLE). Analogs of 2 with different substituents on the urea N were synthesized and evaluated for their activity in vitro against HLE as well as in vivo in a hamster lung hemorrhage model. Compounds with a methyl or a methoxy group in the para position of the benzene ring were very potent in both assays. The results are discussed on the basis of the proposed model for the binding of this class of inhibitors to HLE and a possible mechanism of inhibition is presented.

Alkylcarbamic acid biphenyl-3-yl esters are a class of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitors that comprises cyclohexylcarbamic acid 3'-carbamoylbiphenyl-3-yl ester (URB597), a compound with analgesic, anxiolytic-like and antidepressant-like properties in rat and mouse models. Here, we extended the structure-activity relationships (SARs) for this class of compounds by replacing the cyclohexyl ring of the parent compound cyclohexylcarbamic acid biphenyl-3-yl ester (URB524) (FAAH IC50 = 63 nM) with a selected set of substituents of different size, shape, flexibility, and lipophilicity. Docking experiments and linear interaction energy (LIE) calculations indicated that the N-terminal group of O-arylcarbamates fits within the lipophilic region of the substrate-binding site, mimicking the arachidonoyl chain of anandamide. Significant potency improvements were observed for the beta-naphthylmethyl derivative 4q (IC50 = 5.3 nM) and its 3'-carbamoylbiphenyl-3-yl ester 4z (URB880, IC50 = 0.63 nM), indicating that shape complementarity and hydrogen bonds are crucial to obtain highly potent inhibitors.
