Rational design and synthesis of novel triazole- and tetrazole-fused iminosugars as potential inhibitors of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) linked SOD1 aggregation. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126900. [PMID: 37714236 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023]
Abstract
In this manuscript we report the first example of an iminosugar that inhibits superoxide dismutase fibrillation associated with the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The present work involves synthesis of novel triazole and tetrazole embedded iminosugars, synthesized in 11-13 high yielding steps starting from readily available tri-O-benzyl-D-glucal and proceeding through a concomitant azidation - thermal intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction as the key step. One of these pre-designed iminosugars was found to inhibit fibrillation of SOD1 and also has shown propensity to break pre-formed fibrils. Docking and MD simulation studies suggest that the most probable interaction of this compound is a hydrogen bonding with Arg69, a loop IV residue of SOD1, which has a crucial role in stabilizing the native conformation of SOD1.

Abstract
This personal account focuses on synthesis of polyhydroxylated piperidines, a subset of compounds within the iminosugar family. Cyclisations to form the piperidine ring include reductive amination, substitution via amines, iminium ions and cyclic nitrones, transamidification (N-acyl transfer), addition to alkenes, ring contraction and expansion, photoinduced electron transfer, multicomponent Ugi reaction and ring closing metathesis. Enantiomerically pure piperidines are obtained from chiral pool precursors (e. g. sugars, amino acids, Garner's aldehyde) or asymmetric reactions (e. g. epoxidation, dihydroxylation, aminohydroxylation, aldol, biotransformation). Our laboratory have contributed cascades based on reductive amination from glycosyl azide precursors as well as Huisgen azide-alkene cycloaddition. The latter's combination with allylic azide rearrangement has given substituted piperidines, including those with quaternary centres adjacent to nitrogen.

Abstract
Glycals (carbohydrate enol-ethers) have enjoyed profound applications in organic synthesis for more than a century. They not only serve as versatile glycosyl donors or as substrates for Ferrier rearrangement, but also find extensive synthetic applications especially as a "chiral pool" for accomplishing the synthesis of a variety of natural and biologically important compounds. As cyclic enol ethers, they demonstrate high reactivity and are among the most and variously transformable monosaccharide derivatives. The uniqueness of the reactivity of glycals is that they can be synthetically tuned to get a library of derivatives through stereo- and regioselective introduction of a variety of functional groups at C1, C2, C3 as well as C4 carbons of the sugar. We have developed a practical approach for stereoselective mono- and diamination of glycals and over the years utilized these scaffolds for the synthesis of a variety of biologically important nitrogen heterocycles and carbocycles through a "Diversity Oriented Approach". Our synthetic strategy in this direction mainly relied on the cleavage of ring O-C bond of the sugar followed by an "intramolecular recombination" reaction. Utilizing this strategy, we have accomplished the synthesis of several biologically important natural products, their analogues and related unnatural derivatives. Examples of such compounds reported from our group include polyhydroxypyrrolidines, DMDP, anisomycin, steviamine, pochonicine, conduramines, bulgecinine, aminocyclitols, azepanes, 4-hydroxy-D-proline, azanucleosides and their analogues. A personal account highlighting these syntheses is presented here.

Abstract
Design of Janus-faced or double-headed homoazanucleosides with the possibility to undergo self-organization through base pairing has been conceptualized and accomplished. The synthetic strategy demonstrates the unique ability to introduce two similar or complementary nucleobases on opposite arms of a chiral polyhydroxypyrrolidine while also ensuring that their faces are anti to each other to allow only intermolecular interactions between the nucleobases, an essential requisite for self-assembly. Single-crystal X-ray structures were determined for all three types of homoazanucleosides, one possessing two adenine molecules, the other with two thymine moieties, and the third containing both adenine and thymine. The crystal structures of all three display noncovalent interactions, including Watson-Crick base pairing, Hoogsteen H-bonding, and π-π stacking, resulting in unusual supramolecular patterns. The most striking supramolecular motif among them, which emerged from the crystal structure of the homoazanucleoside containing both adenine and thymine, is a left-handed helix formed through Watson-Crick pairing between nucleobases. The present study thus forms a prelude to the design of Janus-faced building blocks to establish helical pillars as well as lateral branches that together define a three-dimensional (3D) lattice. The ready accessibility of these molecules is expected to spur the next generation of discoveries in the design of functional nanomaterials.

Abstract
A glycal based synthesis of (+)-bulgecinine, 3-hydroxy-2,5-dihydroxymethylpyrrolidine and 2-oxapyrrolizidin-3-ones proceeding through a common intermediate is reported. The key step in the work presented here is a two-step conversion of 4,6-di-O-benzyl-d-glucal to 2,3-dideoxy-2-tosylamido-d-glucose. This manuscript reports the first carbohydrate based approach to the synthesis of (+)-bulgecinine and the whole sequence has been accomplished with complete stereochemical integrity without the formation of mixture of products in any of these steps.

Abstract
Glycals, 1,2-unsaturated sugar derivatives, are versatile starting materials for the synthesis of natural products and the generation of novel structural features in Diversity Oriented Synthesis (DOS). The versatility of glycals in synthesis emanates, among others, from the presence of the ring oxygen and the enol-ether type unsaturation, the different types of stable conformations they can adopt depending on the nature of the protecting groups present and the ease with which the protecting groups of the three hydroxy groups could be tailored to suite for a desired manipulation. This review summarizes the literature on the different transformations of the endo glycals into biologically relevant compounds such as chromans, thiochromans, chromenes, thiochromenes, peptidomimetics, bridged benzopyrans etc., as well as on the use of glycals as chiral building blocks for the synthesis of various natural products such as aspicilin, reblastatin, diospongins, decytospolides, osmundalactones, paclitaxel, isatisine, d-fagomine, and spliceostatin, reported post 2014.

Abstract
The syntheses of conduramine B-2, ent-conduramine F-2, aminocyclopentitol and trihydroxyazepane were accomplished from a common precursor, through a divergent approach using ring closing metathesis (RCM) as the key step. Tri-O-benzyl-d-glucal was converted to 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-1,2-dideoxy-2-iodo-1-p-toluenesulfonamido-α-d-mannose. Exposure to NaBH4 in MeOH resulted in a facile 1,2-transposition of the -NHTs group with concomitant glycosylation to give methyl 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-p-toluenesulfonamido-β-d-glucoside, which was converted into methyl 6-deoxy-6-iodo-glucoside in three steps. Zinc-mediated Vasella's rearrangement proceeded smoothly to give the pluripotent formyl-olefin, possessing both electrophilic and nucleophilic sites, which was used as a common precursor in our diversity-oriented approach. Vinylation of the carbonyl group followed by RCM and subsequent deprotection resulted in the successful synthesis of conduramine B-2 and ent-conduramine F-2 for the first time. On the other hand, the Wittig reaction of the formyl-olefin affords the diene that undergoes Grubbs' I catalyzed RCM and deprotection/reduction to provide 3-amino-cyclopentan-1,2-diol. Utilizing the nucleophilic site at the nitrogen of the common precursor, base mediated N-allylation was carried out to obtain the corresponding diene that underwent a smooth RCM to afford trihydroxyazepane.
