■ Synthesis and Hybridization Properties of Oligonucleotides Including 2ʹ-N-alkoxycarbonyl-2ʹ-amino-LNA Derivatives

Takashi Osawa, Shoko Yamashita, Ayumi Nakanishi, Yuta Ito, and Yoshiyuki Hari*

*Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tokushima Bunri University, Nishihama, Yamashiro-cho, Tokushima 770-8514, Japan

Abstract

2ʹ-Amino-LNA is an attractive material that helps in realizing the practical use of oligonucleotides because it can stabilize complexes with complementary strands and various substituents can be introduced on the 2ʹ-amino group. Here, 2ʹ-N-alkoxycarbonyl derivatives of 2ʹ-amino-LNA were newly designed, synthesized, and incorporated into oligonucleotides. The results of UV-melting analysis indicated that 2ʹ-N-alkoxycarbonyl-modified 2ʹ-amino-LNA could enhance the stability of the duplex formed with single-stranded RNA and the triplex formed with double-stranded DNA.

■ Mechanistic Insight into Catalytic Aerobic Chemoselective α-Oxidation of Acylpyrazoles

Seiya Taninokuchi, Ryo Yazaki,* and Takashi Ohshima*

*Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kyushu University, 3-1-1 Maidashi, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka 812-8582, Japan

Abstract

Mechanistic studies on catalytic aerobic chemoselective α-oxidation of acylpyrazoles, including control experiments, kinetic isotope effect experiments, and radical clock experiments, are described. The key to promoting the reaction was the in-situ generation of a copper(II) peroxo complex, which serves as a Lewis acid/Brønsted base cooperative catalyst for efficient enolization. The present catalysis was applicable to late-stage α-oxidation of functionalized acylpyrazoles. A preliminary diastereoselective reaction using readily available chiral acylpyrazoles demonstrated that the present catalysis provided access to optically active α-hydroxy acid derivatives.

■ Asymmetric Synthesis of 2,3-Dimethoxy-8-oxoberbine, Precursor of O-Methylbharatamine

Maria Chrzanowska,* Agnieszka Dreas, and Zofia Meissner

*Faculty of Chemistry, Adam Mickiewicz University, Umultowska 89b, 61-614 Poznań, Poland

Abstract

The enantiospecific and enantioselective syntheses of 2,3-dimethoxy-8-oxoberbine were performed using the lateral metallation methodology. In the enantiospecific synthesis (4S)-2,2,4-trimethyl-3-(o-toluoyl)oxazolidine incorporating (S)-alaninol as the chiral auxiliary was applied. The addition reaction of benzylic anion generated in situ from chiral oxazolidine into 6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline led to the protoberberine with high enantiomeric excess. Enantioselective synthesis of 2,3-dimethoxy-8-oxoberbine was performed with achiral 2,2-dimethyl-3-(o-toluoyl)oxazolidine in the presence of chiral ligands. Among them (–)-sparteine and (+)-sparteine surrogate turned out to be the most efficient ones.

Abstract

Members of two classes of marine polycyclic ether compounds, brevisulcenals (KBTs) and brevisulcatic acids (BSXs), were isolated as causative toxins from a red tide (Karenia brevisulcata) bloom event in New Zealand in 1998. The new analogues, brevisulcenals (KBTs)-G, -H, and -I, were isolated from neutral lipophilic extracts of bulk dinoflagellate culture extracts, and the molecular structures of these compounds were elucidated by detailed analyses of NMR and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem mass spectrometry spectra, and by comparison with the spectra of KBT-F. All the analogues have the same size and arrangement of 24 ether rings, but differ in their backbone substitution patterns and degree of terminal oxidation. The cytotoxicity of these new KBT analogues was greater than that of the co-isolated, KBT-F.

*Laboratory of Chemical Bioscience, Institute of Biomaterials and Bioengineering, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), 2-3-10 Kanda-Surugadai, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 101-0062, Japan

Abstract

Two types of azido-substituted aryltrifluoromethyldiazirine units have been designed and prepared for the divergent synthesis of photoaffinity probe (PAP) candidates. Using these azides, various aryltrifluoromethyldiazirine derivatives have been rendered easily synthesizable by several click reactions, as well as the Staudinger reduction affording the corresponding aniline. The triazole-conjugated aryltrifluoromethyldiazirine derivatives prepared in this study showed normal photoreactivity compared with those reported previously. These results indicate the utility of these azido-substituted aryltrifluoromethyldiazirine units for development of PAPs for target identification of bioactive compounds.

*Laboratory of Chemical Bioscience, Institute of Biomaterials and Bioengineering, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), 2-3-10 Kanda-Surugadai, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 101-0062, Japan

Abstract

3-Azido-5-(azidomethyl)benzene derivatives are useful compounds for preparing diverse bistriazole compounds and photoaffinity probes for target identification of bioactive compounds. To more easily synthesize a diverse range of diazido compounds, a facile method for synthesizing diazido compounds bearing a transformable functional group, such as iodo, bromo, methoxycarbonyl, or cyano group, was developed. This method is based on formal C–H azidation of 1,3-disubstituted benzenes via regioselective borylation followed by deborylative azidation, with subsequent transformations, such as that of a one-carbon unit on the benzene ring to an azidomethyl group. The functional groups of the diazido compounds were efficiently transformed to various connecting groups, including carboxy, (succinimidyloxy)carbonyl, hydroxymethyl, formyl, bromomethyl, tosylthiomethyl, ethynyl, diazoacetyl, bromoacetyl, boryl, hydroxy, aminocarbonyl, amino, and isothiocyanato groups, leaving the azido groups untouched. Several diazido building blocks were used to prepare diazido compounds by forming amide, thiourea, and sulfide bonds via conjugation at the connecting groups. These results show that the method described here would facilitate diazido probe syntheses and bistriazole library construction.

*Laboratory of Organic Chemistry, Gifu Pharmaceutical University 1-25-4 Daigaku-nishi, Gifu 501-1196, Japan

Abstract

1,4-Epoxy-1,4-dihydronaphthalenes are useful precursors to synthesize 1-naphthols by an acid-catalyzed ring opening of their 1,4-epoxy moieties. 1-Acetal-substituted 1,4-epoxy-1,4-dihydronaphthalene was also converted to 1-naphthol via the unique iron-catalyzed ring opening of the 1,4-epoxy moiety followed by the elimination of the acetal moiety. The present method could be applied to the regioselective syntheses of highly-functionalized 4-formyl-1-naphthols from the unsymmetrical 1,4-bisacetal-substituted 1,4-epoxy-1,4-dihydronaphthalenes.

*Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Hachioji, Tokyo 192-0397, Japan

Abstract

A tricyclic hexaketone monohydrate with a hemiacetal structure was synthesized by the ruthenium-catalyzed oxidation of butyl-substituted tribenzotetradehydro[12]annulene-1,2-dione. The oxidation of the annulenedione afforded unique [12]annulene-1,2,5,6,9,10-hexaone, followed by the cyclization to produce corresponding tricyclic hydrate containing two dihydrobenzopyranone rings. The tricyclic hexaketone hydrate weakly interacts with methanol and ethylene glycol to form 1:1 complexes in solution.

Abstract

We have previously synthesized various 1,3,5-trioxazatriquinane derivatives consisting of not only three identical carbonyl compounds but also two identical carbonyl moieties as well as another type of carbonyl compound. However, dissymmetrical derivatives prepared from three distinct carbonyl compounds have not yet been selectively synthesized. Herein, we developed a selective synthetic method of such dissymmetrical derivatives: free　α-hydroxyaldehydes were slowly added to a solution of protected　α-hydroxyaldehydes, ammonium chloride, and sodium acetate to selectively provide key intermediate oxazolines, which were successfully converted into the objective dissymmetrical derivatives.

■ Renovation of Glycomolecules for Molecular Imaging Studies: Low-Affinity Glycan Ligands can be Used for Selective Cell Imaging?

Shogo Nomura and Katsunori Tanaka*

*Biofunctional Synthetic Chemistry Laboratory, Cluster for Pioneering Research, RIKEN, 2-1 Hirosawa, Wako, Saitama 351-0198, Japan

Abstract

Since the interaction of single molecule of glycans is very weak to the lectins, in most cases they have been formed into clusters for binding studies. Then, a glycan molecule cannot be used for efficient cell imaging or targeting? We established a new strategy to selectively image the cells by using synergistic interaction of peptide and glycan ligands on cell surface. Namely, the peptide ligand with high affinity to the target surface receptor was pretargeted, and then the low-affinity glycan ligand with fluorescent label was interacted to the same cell; Bioorthogonal reaction between them can anchor the label on the target cells when both receptors are expressed and close in space on the surface. When the lectin is not expressed on the target or two receptors are separated, the weakly interacting glycan ligands are washed away the cells, hence the target cells are selectively imaged. While new idea and proof-of-concept data were exemplified based on our previous research, using this strategy, we would like to report the new data to visualize cell surface dynamics in response to the treatment with bioactive compounds.

A pair of new non-glycosidic iridoid epimers, ningpogenins A and B (1a/1b), together with eighteen known ones (2-19) were isolated from the roots of Scrophularia ningpoensis. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, including 1D-, 2D-NMR, and HR-ESI-MS. Compound 1 is an unusual example of natural ningpogenin—L-pyroglutamic adducts. In addition, the cytotoxic effects of the new compound against HepG2, U251 and SH-SY5Y cell lines were evaluated.

Abstract

Liverworts are the most primitive terrestrial plant which known to produce unique and wide variety of compounds. Ethyl acetate crude extract was subjected to several chromatographic techniques for purification. Three new compounds, saccatenes A-C (1-3) were isolated together with two known prenyl bibenzyl derivative, 2,2-dimethyl-5-hydroxy-6-carboxy-7-(2-phenylethyl) chromene (4) and radulanin A-5-one (5) from the Bornean liverwort Acrobolbus saccatus (Hook.) Trevis collected from Mountain Trus Madi, Sabah, Malaysia. The structures of the three new metabolites were established by analyses of the spectroscopic data (1D NMR, 2D NMR, HRESIMS and IR), and the antibacterial activity against eight selected human pathogenic species of bacteria were tested.

Abstract

N(3)-Substituted 4-aryl (or heteroaryl)-2(3H)-benzothiazol-2-ones were synthesized from readily accessible chlobenthiazone and benazolin-ethyl, a couple of N(3)-substituted 4-chloro-2(3H)-benzothiazol-2-one pesticides, utilizing Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions (9 examples; 44–98% yield), although with less reactive stereocongested 4-chloro pendant substituent. In a similar fashion, N(3)-substituted 4-anilino (or BocNH)-2(3H)-benzothiazol-2-ones were synthesized from the 4-bromo analogues of the chlobenthiazone-utilizing Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reactions (3 examples; 50–89% yield). In addition, a short synthesis of the key chloro-type quinone segment in natural mevashuntin with a unique 2(3H)-benzothiazol-2-one skeleton, was performed in three short steps with 61% overall yield. The obtained quinone segment functioned as a Diels-Alder reaction dienophile toward the Danishefsky-Kitahara diene as the model experiment. All schemes utilized a common cyclo-condensation using chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride for the construction of 4(ortho)-substituted 2(3H)-benzothiazol-2-one substrates.
