Synthesis of Natural Product-Inspired Inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Mycothiol-Associated Enzymes: The First Inhibitors of GlcNAc-Ins Deacetylase
摘要:
Synthesis and evaluation of a chemical library of inhibitors of the mycothiol biosynthesis enzyme GlcNAc-Ins deacetylase (MshB) and the mycothiol-dependent detoxification enzyme mycothiol-S-conjugate amidase (MCA) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis are reported. The library was biased to include structural features of a group of natural products previously shown to competitively inhibit MCA. Molecular docking studies that reproducibly placed the inhibitors in the active site of the enzyme MshB reveal the mode of binding and are consistent with observed biological activity.

Stereoselective Construction of Nitrile‐Substituted Cyclopropanes from 2‐Substituted Ethenesulfonyl Fluorides
<i>via</i>
Carbon‐Sulfur Bond Cleavage
The intermolecular cyclopropanation of 2‐aryl and 2‐styryl substituted ethenesulfonyl fluorides with active cyano‐containing methylenecompounds was described. This reaction proceeds via carbon‐sulfur bond cleavage under metal‐free conditions in up to 99% yield, affording a variety of nitrile‐substituted cyclopropanes with high diastereoselectivity.
