Abstract
Toxin A, a precursor to naturally occurring aspergillomarasmine A, aspergillomarasmine B, lycomarasmine and related aminopolycarboxylic acids, was synthesized as the desired (2S,2'S)-diastereomer on a multigram-scale (>99% conversion, 82% isolated yield, dr > 95 : 5) from commercially available starting materials using the enzyme ethylenediamine-N,N'-disuccinic acid lyase. A single-step protection route of this chiral synthon was developed to aid N-sulfonylation/-alkylation and reductive amination at the terminal primary amine for easy derivatization, followed by global deprotection to give the corresponding toxin A derivatives, including lycomarasmine, in moderate to good yields (23-66%) and with high stereopurity (dr > 95 : 5). Furthermore, a chemoenzymatic route was developed to introduce a click handle on toxin A (yield 72%, dr > 95 : 5) and its cyclized congener for further analogue design. Finally, a chemoenzymatic route towards the synthesis of photocaged aspergillomarasmine B (yield 8%, dr > 95 : 5) was established, prompting further steps into smart prodrug design and precision delivery. These new synthetic methodologies have the prospective of facilitating research into the finding of more selective and potent metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) inhibitors, which are urgently needed to combat MBL-based infections.

Conformationally Restricted β-Sheet Breaker Peptides Incorporating Cyclic α-Methylisoserine Sulfamidates. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202202913. [PMID: 36377879 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202202913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Peptides containing variations of the β-amyloid hydrophobic core and five-membered sulfamidates derived from β-amino acid α-methylisoserine have been synthesized and fully characterized in the gas phase, solid state and in aqueous solution by a combination of experimental and computational techniques. The cyclic sulfamidate group effectively locks the secondary structure at the N-terminus of such hybrid peptides imposing a conformational restriction and stabilizing non-extended structures. This conformational bias, which is maintained in the gas phase, solid state and aqueous solution, is shown to be resistant to structure templating through assays of in vitro β-amyloid aggregation, acting as β-sheet breaker peptides with moderate activity.

Bioactive Metabolite Production in the Genus Pyrenophora (Pleosporaceae, Pleosporales). Toxins (Basel) 2022; 14:toxins14090588. [PMID: 36136526 PMCID: PMC9503419 DOI: 10.3390/toxins14090588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The genus Pyrenophora includes two important cereal crop foliar pathogens and a large number of less well-known species, many of which are also grass pathogens. Only a few of these have been examined in terms of secondary metabolite production, yet even these few species have yielded a remarkable array of bioactive metabolites that include compounds produced through each of the major biosynthetic pathways. There is little overlap among species in the compounds identified. Pyrenophora tritici-repentis produces protein toxin effectors that mediate host-specific responses as well as spirocyclic lactams and at least one anthraquinone. Pyrenophora teres produces marasmine amino acid and isoquinoline derivatives involved in pathogenesis on barley as well as nonenolides with antifungal activity, while P. semeniperda produces cytochalasans and sesquiterpenoids implicated in pathogenesis on seeds as well as spirocyclic lactams with phytotoxic and antibacterial activity. Less well-known species have produced some unusual macrocyclic compounds in addition to a diverse array of anthraquinones. For the three best-studied species, in silico genome mining has predicted the existence of biosynthetic pathways for a much larger array of potentially toxic secondary metabolites than has yet been produced in culture. Most compounds identified to date have potentially useful biological activity.

Abstract
New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) poses an immediate threat to our most effective and widely prescribed drugs, the β-lactam-containing class of antibiotics. There are no clinically relevant inhibitors to combat NDM-1, despite significant efforts toward their development. Inhibitors that use a carboxylic acid motif for binding the ZnII ions in the active site of NDM-1 make up a large portion of the >500 inhibitors reported to date. New and structurally diverse scaffolds for inhibitor development are needed urgently. Herein we report the isosteric replacement of one carboxylate group of dipicolinic acid (DPA) to obtain DPA isosteres with good inhibitory activity against NDM-1 (and related metallo-β-lactamases, IMP-1 and VIM-2). It was determined that the choice of carboxylate isostere influences both the potency of NDM-1 inhibition and the mechanism of action. Additionally, we show that an isostere with a metal-stripping mechanism can be re-engineered into an inhibitor that favors ternary complex formation. This work provides a roadmap for future isosteric replacement of routinely used metal binding motifs (i.e., carboxylic acids) for the generation of new entities in NDM-1 inhibitor design and development.
