Abstract
Toward human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) cure, cells latently infected with HIV-1 must be eliminated from people living with HIV-1. We previously developed a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, diacylglycerol (DAG)-lactone derivative 3, with high HIV-1 latency-reversing activity, based on YSE028 (2) as a lead compound and found that the activity was correlated with binding affinity for PKC and stability against esterase-mediated hydrolysis. Here, we synthesized new DAG-lactone derivatives not only containing a tertiary ester group or an isoxazole surrogate but also several symmetric alkylidene moieties to improve HIV-1 latency reversing activity. Compound 9a, with a dimethyl group at the α-position of the ester group, exerted twice higher HIV-1 latency reversing activity than compound 3, and compound 26, with the isoxazole moiety, was significantly active. In addition, DAG-lactone derivatives with moderate hydrophobicity and potent biostability showed high biological activity.

Abstract
Cells latently infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) prevent people living with HIV-1 from obtaining a cure to the infectious disease. Latency reversing agents (LRAs) such as protein kinase C (PKC) activators and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors can reactivate cells latently infected with HIV-1. Several trials based on treatment with HDAC inhibitors alone, however, failed to reduce the number of latent HIV-1 reservoirs. Herein, we have focused on a diacylglycerol (DAG)-lactone derivative, YSE028 (1), which is a PKC activator with latency reversing activity and no significant cytotoxicity. Caspase-3 activation of YSE028 (1) led to cell apoptosis, specifically in HIV-1 latently infected cells. Structure-activity relationship studies of YSE028 (1) have produced several useful derivatives. Among these, compound 2 is approximately ten times more potent than YSE028 (1) in reactivation of cells latently infected with HIV-1. The activity of DAG-lactone derivatives was correlated with the binding affinity for PKC and the stability against esterase-mediated hydrolysis.

A Therapeutic Strategy to Combat HIV-1 Latently Infected Cells With a Combination of Latency-Reversing Agents Containing DAG-Lactone PKC Activators. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:636276.

Abstract
Advances in antiviral therapy have dramatically improved the therapeutic effects on HIV type 1 (HIV-1) infection. However, even with potent combined antiretroviral therapy, HIV-1 latently infected cells cannot be fully eradicated. Latency-reversing agents (LRAs) are considered a potential tool for eliminating such cells; however, recent in vitro and in vivo studies have raised serious concerns regarding the efficacy and safety of the "shock and kill" strategy using LRAs. In the present study, we examined the activity and safety of a panel of protein kinase C (PKC) activators with a diacylglycerol (DAG)-lactone structure that mimics DAG, an endogenous ligand for PKC isozymes. YSE028, a DAG-lactone derivative, reversed HIV-1 latency in vitro when tested using HIV-1 latently infected cells (e.g., ACH2 and J-Lat cells) and primary cells from HIV-1-infected individuals. The activity of YSE028 in reversing HIV-1 latency was synergistically enhanced when combined with JQ1, a bromodomain and extra-terminal inhibitor LRA. DAG-lactone PKC activators also induced caspase-mediated apoptosis, specifically in HIV-1 latently infected cells. In addition, these DAG-lactone PKC activators showed minimal toxicity in vitro and in vivo. These data suggest that DAG-lactone PKC activators may serve as potential candidates for combination therapy against HIV-1 latently infected cells, especially when combined with other LRAs with a different mechanism, to minimize side effects and achieve maximum efficacy in various reservoir cells of the whole body.

Abstract
Protein Kinase C isoenzymes (PKCs) are the key mediators of the phosphoinositide signaling pathway, which involves regulated hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate to diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate. Dysregulation of PKCs is implicated in many human diseases making this class of enzymes an important therapeutic target. Specifically, the DAG-sensing cysteine-rich conserved homology-1 (C1) domains of PKCs have emerged as promising targets for pharmaceutical modulation. Despite significant progress, the rational design of the C1 modulators remains challenging due to difficulties associated with structure determination of the C1-ligand complexes. Given the dearth of experimental structural data, computationally derived models have been instrumental in providing atomistic insight into the interactions of the C1 domains with PKC agonists. In this review, we provide an overview of the in silico approaches for seven classes of C1 modulators and outline promising future directions.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
The 6-bromo-7-hydroxy-coumarin-4-ylmethyl (Bhc) group has been used widely in cage chemistry because of its high molar absorptivity and photolytic efficiency. One of the drawbacks of coumarins however is their low aqueous solubility. Aqueous solubility is important in the behavior of caged compounds because hydrophobic caged compounds might be aggregated in physiological conditions and consequently the photocleavage would be impaired. The 8-azacoumarin-4-ylmethyl derivatives with bromine (8-aza-Bhc) or iodine (8-aza-Ihc), which were previously developed in this laboratory, have aqueous solubilities that are higher than those of related coumarins. Here, to improve the hydrophilicity and management of caged diacylglycerol lactones (DAG-lactones), 8-aza-Bhc and 8-aza-Ihc were introduced into the DAG-lactone structure. The synthesized caged compounds showed high hydrophilicity compared with the parent Bhc-caged DAG-lactone, and the 8-aza-Ihc-caged DAG-lactone (2) showed excellent photolytic efficiency, which allows rapid release of the DAG-lactone (1) by brief photoirradiation. The 8-aza-7-hydroxy-6-iodo-coumarin-4-ylmethyl group might be useful for caging of bioactive compounds, especially hydrophobic compounds.

Abstract
Biological processes are naturally regulated with high spatial and temporal control, as is perhaps most evident in metazoan embryogenesis. Chemical tools have been extensively utilized in cell and developmental biology to investigate cellular processes, and conditional control methods have expanded applications of these technologies toward resolving complex biological questions. Light represents an excellent external trigger since it can be controlled with very high spatial and temporal precision. To this end, several optically regulated tools have been developed and applied to living systems. In this review we discuss recent developments of optochemical tools, including small molecules, peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids that can be irreversibly or reversibly controlled through light irradiation, with a focus on applications in cells and animals.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) mediates a central cellular signal transduction pathway involved in disorders such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease. PKC is regulated by binding of the second messenger sn-1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) to its tandem C1 domains, designated C1a and C1b, leading both to PKC activation and to its translocation to the plasma membrane and to internal organelles. Depending on the isoform, there may be differences in the ligand selectivity of the C1a and C1b domains, and there is different spacing between the C1 domains of the conventional and novel PKCs. Bivalent ligands have the potential to exploit these differences between isoforms, yielding isoform selectivity. In the present study, we describe the synthesis of a series of dimeric derivatives of conformationally constrained diacylglycerol (DAG) analogs (DAG-lactones). We characterize the derivatives in vitro for their binding affinities, both to a single C1 domain (the C1b domain of PKCδ) as well as to the conventional PKCα isoform and the novel PKCδ isoform, and we measure their abilities to cause translocation of PKCδ and PKCε in intact cells. The dimeric compound with the 10-carbon linker was modestly more effective for the isolated PKCδ C1b domain than was the monomeric compound. For the intact PKCα and PKCδ, the shortest DAG-lactone dimer had similar affinity to the monomer and affinity decreased progressively up to the 16-carbon linker. The dimeric derivatives did not cause the Golgi accumulation of PKCδ. The present results provide important insights into the development of new chemical tools for biological studies on PKC.

Abstract
A remarkable improvement of the photochemical properties of coumarin-type photolabile protecting groups was achieved by iodine substitution. The newly identified 7-hydroxy-6-iodo-8-azacoumarin (8-aza-Ihc)-caged acetate showed excellent photolytic efficiency, significantly higher than that of the corresponding bromine-containing coumarin- and azacoumarin-type caging groups. The results provide a solid approach to improving the photosensitivity of photolabile protecting groups.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) is correlated with cell signaling pathways and also receives attention as a therapeutic target for cancer and Alzheimer-type dementia. The application of Förster/fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) phenomena to detect binding between proteins and small molecules, for example, PKC and its ligands, underlies a fluorescence-based assay method suitable for high-throughput screening. To accelerate studies on PKC functions in processing signals using small molecules and the development of drugs that target PKC, novel methods for the assessment of the PKC binding affinity of compounds are necessary. We previously developed solvatochromic fluorophore-based methods for that assessment. In this study, a novel method for a FRET-based PKC binding assay was developed and is expected to overcome the limitations of solvatochromic fluorophores.

Abstract
Described is the development of 8-azacoumarin-4-ylmethyl groups as aqueous photolabile protecting groups. A key feature of the strategy is the isosteric replacement of the C7-C8 enol double bond of the Bhc derivative with an amide bond, resulting in conversion of the chromophore from coumarin to 8-azacoumarin. This strategy makes dramatically enhanced water solubility and facile photocleavage possible.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) plays an important role in cell signaling pathways and is implicated in disorders ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's disease. Highly potent PKC ligands as therapeutic drugs have not been developed to date and useful methodologies for controlling PKC activation in defined areas are necessary to analyze precise PKC functions in cells. Studies focused on the development of PKC ligand screening systems and methods for regulation of PKC activation have been performed in our laboratory. In this review, our ligand screening methods involving synthetic peptides and solvatochromic fluorescent dye-labeled small compounds are summarized and the technique of spatio-temporal manipulation of PKC activation by caging strategies is introduced.

Abstract
A device for the capture and recollection of live target cells is described. The platform was a silicon (Si) wafer modified with an anti-HEL antibody (anti-HEL-IgG, HEL = hen egg lysozyme) through a photocleavable 3-amino-3-(2-nitrophenyl)propionic acid (ANP) linker. The modification processes of the Si wafer surface were monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) and fast-scanning atomic force microscopy (FS-AFM). The attachment of IgG and its release reaction on the Si surface via the photochemical cleavage of the ANP linker were observed directly by FS-AFM. The results of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) indicated that the photorelease of the complex of anti-HEL-IgG with the secondary antibody-alkaline phosphatase hybrid (secondary IgG-AP) from the Si surface occurs with minimum damage. Furthermore, it was possible to collect SP2/O cells selectively that express HEL on their cell membranes (SP2/O-HEL) on the Si wafer device. Photochemical cleavage of the ANP linker facilitated the effective release of living SP2/O cells whose viability was verified by staining experiments using tripan blue. Moreover, it was possible to reculture the recovered cells. This methodology represents an effective strategy for isolating intact target cells in the biological and medicinal sciences and related fields.

Abstract
A novel fluorescence-quenching screening method for protein kinase C (PKC) ligands was developed utilizing solvatochromic fluorophores. Solvatochromic dyes, highly sensitive to the presence or the absence of competitive ligands in their binding to the C1b domain of PKCδ (δC1b), were combined with a known pharmacophoric moiety of 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) lactones, PKC ligands. Addition of δC1b to the fluorescent compounds caused a gradual increase in the fluorescent intensity in proportion to the increase of δC1b. As a competitive ligand was added to the complex of δC1b domain and fluorescent compounds, a gradual decrease in the fluorescent intensity was observed. The relative binding affinities of known ligands were successfully determined by this fluorescent method and corresponded well to the K(i) values measured by a radioisotope method. These results indicate that washing, which is a laborious step in binding evaluations, is not required for this environmentally sensitive fluorophore based system. Screening with the system was performed for 2560 preselected library compounds with possible pharmacophores, and some lead compounds were found. This fluorescence-based method could be applied widely to known ligand-receptor combinations.
