Effective enantioselective approach to α-aminoalkylacrylic acid derivatives via a synthetic equivalent of an asymmetric Baylis–Hillman reaction: application to the synthesis of two C-2′ hydroxymethyl analogues of docetaxel
摘要:
Two C-2' hydroxymethyl analogues of docetaxel have been synthesized from 10-desacetyl baccatin III and enantiopure (3S)-3-(N-tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-2-methylene-3- phenylpropanoic acid; the latter was prepared vip the use of a new method, which is discussed, as is the biological evaluation of the two new analogues.
A New Class of Highly Potent and Selective Endomorphin-1 Analogues Containing α-Methylene-β-aminopropanoic Acids (Map)
摘要:
A new class of endomorphin-1 (EM-1) analogues were synthesized by introduction of novel unnatural alpha-methylene-beta-amino acids (Map) at position 3 or/and position 4. Their binding and functional activity, metabolic stability, and antinociceptive activity were determined and compared. Most of these analogues showed high affinities for the mu-opioid receptor and an increased stability in mouse brain homogenates compared with EM-1. Examination of cAMP accumulation and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in HEK293 cells confirmed the agonist properties of these analogues. Among these new analogues, H-Tyr-Pro-Trp-(2-furyl)Map-NH2 (analogue 12) exhibited the highest binding potency (K-i(mu) = 0.221 nM) and efficacy (EC50 = 0.0334 nM, E-max = 97.14%). This analogue also displayed enhanced antinociceptive activity in vivo in comparison to EM-1. Molecular modeling approaches were then carried out to demonstrate the interaction pattern of these analogues with the opioid receptors. We found that, compared to EM-1, the incorporation of our synthesized Map at position 4 would bring the analogue to a closer binding mode with the mu-opioid receptor.

Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacological Characterization of Novel Endomorphin-1 Analogues as Extremely Potent μ-Opioid Agonists
Recently we reported the synthesis and structure activity study of endomorphin-1 (EM-1) analogues containing novel, unnatural alpha-methylene-beta-aminopropanoic acids (Map). In the present study, we describe new EM-1 analogues containing Dmt(1), (R/S)-beta Pro(2), and (ph)Map(4)/(2-furyl)Map(4). All of the analogues showed a high affinity for the mu-opioid receptor (MOR) and increased stability in mouse brain homogenates. Of the new compounds, Dmt(1)-(R)-beta Pro(2)-Trp(3)-(2-furyl)Map(4) (analogue 12) displayed the highest affinity toward MOR, in the picomolar range (K-i(mu) = 3.72 pM). Forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation assays indicated that this analogue displayed an extremely high agonistic potency, in the subpicomolar range (EC50 = 0.0421 pM, E-max = 99.5%). This compound also displayed stronger in vivo antinociceptive activity after iv administration when compared to morphine in the tail-flick test, which indicates that this analogue was able to cross the blood-brain barrier.
