Defining the Mechanism of Action and Enzymatic Selectivity of Psammaplin A against Its Epigenetic Targets
摘要:
Psammaplin A (11c) is a marine metabolite previously reported to be a potent inhibitor of two classes of epigenetic enzymes: histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. The design and synthesis of a focused library based on the psammaplin A core has been carried out to probe the molecular features of this molecule responsible for its activity. By direct in vitro assay of the free thiol generated upon reduction of the dimeric psammaplin scaffold, we have unambiguously demonstrated that 11c functions as a natural prodrug, with the reduced form being highly potent against HDAC1 in vitro (IC50 0.9 nM). Furthermore, we have shown it to have high isoform selectivity, being 360-fold selective for HDAC1 over HDAC6 and more than 1000-fold less potent against HDAC7 and HDAC8. SAR around our focused library revealed a number of features, most notably the oxime functionality to be important to this selectivity. Many of the compounds show significant cytotoxicity in A549, MCF7, and W138 cells, with the SAR of cytotcodcity correlating to HDAC inhibition. Furthermore, compound treatment causes upregulation of histone acetylation but little effect on tubulin acetylation. Finally, we have found no evidence for 11c functioning as a DNMT inhibitor.
Two new palladium‐catalyzed reactions of aromatic sulfur compounds enabled the conversion of dibenzothiophenes into triphenylenes in four steps. This transformation of one aromatic framework into another consists of 1) 4‐chlorobutylation of the dibenzothiophene to form the corresponding sulfonium salt, 2) palladium‐catalyzed arylative ring opening of the sulfonium salt with a sodium tetraarylborate

Development of a Robust and Practical Process for the Darzens Condensation and α,β-Epoxide Rearrangement: Scope and Limitations of the Methodology
benzaldehydes and subsequent α,β-epoxyrearrangement is reported. The process developed is both amenable to large scale and parallel synthesis. While electron-poor benzaldehydes gave mixtures of aryl ketones and 2-substituted aryl ketones in mediocre to low yields, electron-rich benzaldehydes were found to react in high yields with complete regioselectivity to form 2-substituted aryl ketones.
