Anti-oligomerization sheet molecules: Design, synthesis and evaluation of inhibitory activities against α-synuclein aggregation
摘要:
Aggregation of alpha-synuclein (alpha-Syn) play a key role in the development of Parkinson Disease (PD). One of the effective approaches is to stabilize the native, monomeric protein with suitable molecule ligands. We have designed and synthesized a series of sheet-like conjugated compounds which possess different skeletons and various heteroatoms in the two blocks located at both ends of linker, which have good pi-electron delocalization and high ability of hydrogen-bond formation. They have shown anti-aggregation activities in vitro towards alpha-Syn with IC50 down to 1.09 mu M. The molecule is found binding in parallel to the NACore within NAC domain of alpha-Syn, interfering aggregation of NAC region within different alpha-Syn monomer, and further inhibiting or slowing down the formation of alpha-Syn oligomer nuclei at lag phase. The potential inhibitor obtained by our strategy is considered to be highly efficient to inhibit alpha-Syn aggregation.

We describe an iron-catalyzed amidebondformation from readily available carboxylic acids and isocyanates. This method utilizes an abundant and biocompatible iron catalyst and easily accessible starting materials, generates CO2 as the only byproduct, and features broad substrate scopes with good functional group compatibility. Therefore, it provides a cost-effective and practical protocol to access
