Synthesis of Bifunctional Lipoxin‐Derived Enzyme‐Triggered CO‐Releasing Molecules (LipET‐CORMs)
摘要:
AbstractIn an attempt to develop new anti‐inflammatory agents which act by co‐release of carbon monoxide (CO) and a specialized pro‐resolving mediator, we designed conjugates of a lipoxin A4 analogue and an acyloxycyclohexadiene‐Fe(CO)3 complex as an esterase‐triggered CO‐releasing molecule (ET‐CORM). After adjustment of the protecting group strategy, two of such compounds were successfully prepared by total synthesis (12 steps; 4–5 % overall yield) starting from deoxy‐d‐ribose and exploiting a Wittig olefination and an intermolecular Heck reaction as key C−C bond‐forming steps. A crucial late reduction of an aryl‐ketone moiety in the presence of a highly sensitive dienol ester functionality was achieved with BH3‐SMe2 in the presence of catalytic amounts of NaBH4. Both target compounds were dose‐dependently toxic towards cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), with LipET‐CORM 1‐A being slightly more toxic. While induction of heme oxygenase 1 (HO‐1) in HUVEC was observed for both compounds, they did not inhibit TNF‐α‐mediated VCAM‐1 expression in these cells. In M2 polarized macrophages HO‐1 expression was more pronounced as compared to M1 polarized macrophages. In both types of macrophages HO‐1 expression was downregulated by lipopolysaccharide, but only in M2 macrophages HO‐1 expression was rescued by LipET‐CORM. 15‐Lipoxygenase (15‐LO) was only expressed in M2 macrophages and was not influenced by LipET‐CORM. Collectively our data demonstrate that LipET‐CORMs induce HO‐1 expression in endothelial cells and M2 polarized macrophages. The role of the intra‐cellular released lipoxin A4 in resolution of inflammation, however, remains to be assessed.

An efficient and chemoselective cleavage of silyl ethers (primary, secondary and aromatic) by using catalytic quantities of trimethylsilylbromide (TMSBr) in methanol is reported. A wide range of alkyl silyl ethers such as TBS, TIPS, and TBDPS can be chemoselectively cleaved in high yield in the presence of aryl silyl ethers. The deprotection of silyl esters was also achieved employing catalytic quantities

found to be an efficientcatalyst for the one-pot esterification and deprotection of (5S,6R)-5,6-diacetoxyoct-7-enoic acid in good yields (44−62%) with a lactone formed as a minor byproduct. ZrCl4 (10−20 mol %) was also sufficient to deprotect 1,3-dioxalane, bis-TBDMS ethers, and diacetate functional groups in excellent yields of up to 93%. ZrCl4 (1−10 mol %) also promoted diol protection as the acetonide

aromatic LXA4 and LXB4 analogues by employing Sharpless epoxidation, Pd-mediated Heck coupling, and diastereoselective reduction as the key transformations. Subsequent biological testing has shown that these analogues display potent biological activities. Phagocytic clearance of apoptotic leukocytes plays a critical role in the resolution of inflammation. Both LXA4 analogues (1R)-3a and (1S)-3a were

A short and efficient synthesis of new pyridine‐containing lipoxin A4analogues was developed. These analogues induce phagocytosis of apoptotic polymorphonuclear leukocytes and display anti‐ inflammatory characteristics by suppressing pro‐inflammatory cytokine production by macrophages.
