Abstract
Sequential oxidative cleavage and double-Mannich reactions enable the stereoselective conversion of simple norbornenes into complex alkaloid-like structures. The products undergo a wide range of derivatization reactions, including regioselective enol triflate formation/cross-coupling sequences and highly efficient conversion to an unusual tricyclic 8,5,5-fused lactam. Overall, the process represents a formal one-atom aza-ring expansion with concomitant bridging annulation, making it of interest for the broader derivatization of alkene feedstocks.

Abstract
Isatin (indol-2,3-dione), a secondary metabolite of tryptophan, has been used as the core structure to design several compounds that have been tested and identified as potent inhibitors of apoptosis, potential antitumor agents, anticonvulsants, and antiviral agents. In this work, several analogs of isatin hybrids have been synthesized and characterized, and their activities were established as inhibitors of both Aurora A kinase and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike/host angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) interactions. Amongst the synthesized isatin hybrids, compounds 6a, 6f, 6g, and 6m exhibited Aurora A kinase inhibitory activities (with IC50 values < 5 μ M), with GScore values of -7.9, -7.6, -8.2 and -7.7 kcal/mol, respectively. Compounds 6g and 6i showed activities in blocking SARS-CoV-2 spike/ACE2 binding (with IC50 values in the range < 30 μ M), with GScore values of -6.4 and -6.6 kcal/mol, respectively. Compounds 6f, 6g, and 6i were both capable of inhibiting spike/ACE2 binding and blocking Aurora A kinase. Pharmacophore profiling indicated that compound 6g tightly fits Aurora A kinase and SARS-CoV-2 pharmacophores, while 6d fits SARS-CoV-2 and 6l fits Aurora A kinase pharmacophore. This work is a proof of concept that some existing cancer drugs may possess antiviral properties. Molecular modeling showed that the active compound for each protein adopted different binding modes, hence interacting with a different set of amino acid residues in the binding site. The weaker activities against spike/ACE2 could be explained by the small sizes of the ligands that fail to address the important interactions for binding to the ACE2 receptor site.

Abstract
The fraction of sp3-hybridized carbons (Fsp3) and the fraction of stereogenic carbons (FCstereo) are two widely employed scores of molecular complexity with strong links to biologically relevant features. However, they do not comprehensively express molecular topology, and they often do not match the chemical intuition of complexity. We propose the spacial score (SPS) as an empirical scoring system that builds upon the principle underlying Fsp3 and FCstereo and expresses the spacial complexity of a compound in a uniform manner on a highly granular scale. The size-normalized SPS (nSPS) can differentiate distributions of natural products and synthetic compounds and is applicable in the analysis of biological activity data. Analysis of the ChEMBL database revealed general trends of increasing selectivity and potency with increasing nSPS. SPS can also be used advantageously in planning and analysis of synthesis programs for direct comparison of chemical transformations and intermediates in reaction sequences.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Natural products (NPs) are a desirable source of new therapeutics due to their structural diversity and evolutionarily optimized bioactivities. NPs and their derivatives account for roughly 70% of approved pharmaceuticals. However, the rate at which novel NPs are discovered has decreased. To accelerate the microbial NP discovery process, machine learning (ML) is being applied to numerous areas of NP discovery and development. AREAS COVERED This review explores the utility of ML at various phases of the microbial NP drug discovery pipeline, discussing concrete examples throughout each major phase: genome mining, dereplication, and biological target prediction. Moreover, the authors discuss how ML approaches can be applied to semi-synthetic approaches to drug discovery. EXPERT OPINION Despite the important role that microbial NPs play in the development of novel drugs, their discovery has declined due to challenges associated with the conventional discovery process. ML is positioned to overcome these limitations given its ability to model complex datasets and generalize to novel chemical and sequence space. Unsurprisingly, ML comes with its own limitations that must be considered for its successful implementation. The authors stress the importance of continuing to build high quality and open access NP datasets to further increase the utility of ML in NP discovery.

Abstract
The concept of privileged structure has been used as a fruitful approach for the discovery of novel biologically active molecules. A privileged structure is defined as a semi-rigid scaffold able to display substituents in multiple spatial directions and capable of providing potent and selective ligands for different biological targets through the modification of those substituents. On average, these backbones tend to exhibit improved drug-like properties and therefore represent attractive starting points for hit-to-lead optimization programs. This article promotes the rapid, reliable, and efficient synthesis of novel, highly 3-dimensional, and easily functionalized bio-inspired tricyclic spirolactams, as well as an analysis of their drug-like properties.

Abstract
In recent years, the flourishing of synthetic methodology studies has provided concise access to numerous molecules with new chemical space. These compounds form a large library with unique scaffolds, but their application in hit discovery is not systematically evaluated. In this work, we establish a synthetic methodology-based compound library (SMBL), integrated with compounds obtained from our synthetic researches, as well as their virtual derivatives in significantly larger scale. We screen the library and identify small-molecule inhibitors to interrupt the protein-protein interaction (PPI) of GIT1/β-Pix complex, an unrevealed target involved in gastric cancer metastasis. The inhibitor 14-5-18 with a spiro[bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3'-indolin]-2'-one scaffold, considerably retards gastric cancer metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Since the PPI targets are considered undruggable as they are hard to target, the successful application illustrates the structural specificity of SMBL, demonstrating its potential to be utilized as compound source for more challenging targets.

Abstract
In December 2019, a COVID-19 epidemic was discovered in Wuhan, China, and since has disseminated around the world impacting human health for millions. Herein, in-silico drug discovery approaches have been utilized to identify potential natural products (NPs) as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) main protease (Mpro) inhibitors. The MolPort database that contains over 100,000 NPs was screened and filtered using molecular docking techniques. Based on calculated docking scores, the top 5,000 NPs/natural-like products (NLPs) were selected and subjected to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations followed by molecular mechanics-generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) binding energy calculations. Combined 50 ns MD simulations and MM-GBSA calculations revealed nine potent NLPs with binding affinities (ΔGbinding) > -48.0 kcal/mol. Interestingly, among the identified NLPs, four bis([1,3]dioxolo)pyran-5-carboxamide derivatives showed ΔGbinding > -56.0 kcal/mol, forming essential short hydrogen bonds with HIS163 and GLY143 amino acids via dioxolane oxygen atoms. Structural and energetic analyses over 50 ns MD simulation demonstrated NLP-Mpro complex stability. Drug-likeness predictions revealed the prospects of the identified NLPs as potential drug candidates. The findings are expected to provide a novel contribution to the field of COVID-19 drug discovery.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
A synthetic method based on radical borylation/cyclization cascades of N-allylcyanamides was developed to construct diverse boron-substituted N-heterocycles. In the reaction process, the N-heterocyclic carbene-boryl radical underwent a chemo- and regioselective addition to the alkene moiety, followed by cyclization with the N-cyano group. The resulting amide-iminyl radical intermediates underwent further reactions to afford various boron-tethered N-heterocyclic molecules. Further transformations to access synthetically useful building blocks were also demonstrated.

Abstract
We report herein an efficient gold(I)-catalyzed post-Ugi domino dearomatization/ipso-cyclization/Michael sequence that enables access to libraries of diverse (hetero)arene-annulated tricyclic heterocycles. This process affords novel complex polycyclic scaffolds in moderate to good yields from readily available acyclic precursors with excellent chemo-, regio-, and diastereoselectivity. The power of this strategy has been demonstrated by the rapid synthesis of 40 highly functionalized polyheterocycles bearing indole, pyrrole, (benzo)furan, (benzo)thiophene, pyrazole, and electron-rich arene groups in two operational steps.

Abstract
The mechanism of phenanthridines synthesis from the nitrogenation of 2-acetylbiphenyls (1) by TMSN3 in TFA has been studied by DFT calculations. Results at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) level showed that: 1) reaction of TMSN3/HN3 with the protonated form of 1 (1H+), which generates the key intermediate C x+ by removal of TMSOH/H2O, is the rate determining step, and TMSN3 as the nitrogen source is certainly preferred over HN3. 2) from C x+, the two pathways leading to 2 x H+ and 3 x H+ are both thermodynamically and kinetically feasible and competitive to each other. 3) The high barriers of the reverse reactions suggest that the ratio of the final products 2 x :3 x is determined by the branching ratio of reaction rates of C x+ to intermediates D x+ in pass_I and E x+ in pass_II. Graphical Abstract DFT results indicate that the replacement of -OH by -N3 which generates C x+ controls the consumption rate of 1 x H+, and the ratio of C x+ transforms to D x+ and C x+ transforms to E x+ (k:k') determines the final ratio of products 2x:3x.

Abstract
Macrocycles pose challenges for computer-aided drug design due to their conformational complexity. One fundamental challenge is identifying all low-energy conformations of the macrocyclic ring, which is important for modeling target binding, passive membrane permeation, and other conformation-dependent properties. Macrocyclic polyketides are medically and biologically important natural products characterized by structural and functional diversity. Advances in synthetic biology and semisynthetic methods may enable creation of an even more diverse set of non-natural product polyketides for drug discovery and other applications. However, the conformational sampling of these flexible compounds remains demanding. We developed and optimized a dihedral angle-based macrocycle conformational sampling method for macrocycles of arbitrary structure, and here we apply it to diverse polyketide natural products. First, we evaluated its performance using a data set of 37 polyketides with available crystal structures, with 9-22 rotatable bonds in the macrocyclic ring. Our optimized protocol was able to reproduce the crystal structure of polyketides' aglycone backbone within 0.50 Å RMSD for 31 out of 37 polyketides. Consistent with prior structural studies, our analysis suggests that polyketides tend to have multiple distinct low-energy structures, including the bioactive (target-bound) conformation as well as others of unknown significance. For this reason, we also introduce a strategy to improve both efficiency and accuracy of the conformational search by utilizing torsional restraints derived from NMR vicinal proton couplings to restrict the conformational search. Finally, as a first application of the method, we made blinded predictions of the passive membrane permeability of a diverse set of polyketides, based on their predicted structures in low- and high-dielectric media.

Abstract
Natural products and their molecular frameworks have a long tradition as valuable starting points for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. Recently, there has been a revitalization of interest in the inclusion of these chemotypes in compound collections for screening and achieving selective target modulation. Here we discuss natural-product-inspired drug discovery with a focus on recent advances in the design of synthetically tractable small molecules that mimic nature's chemistry. We highlight the potential of innovative computational tools in processing structurally complex natural products to predict their macromolecular targets and attempt to forecast the role that natural-product-derived fragments and fragment-like natural products will play in next-generation drug discovery.

Abstract
![]()
There has been much discussion of
the potential desirability of
macrocyclic molecules for the development of tool compounds and drug
leads. But there is little experimental data comparing otherwise equivalent
macrocyclic and linear compound libraries as a source of protein ligands.
In this Letter, we probe this point in the context of peptoid libraries.
Bead-displayed libraries of macrocyclic and linear peptoids containing
four variable positions and 0–2 fixed residues, to vary the
ring size, were screened against streptavidin and the affinity of
every hit for the target was measured. The data show that macrocyclization
is advantageous, but only when the ring contains 17 atoms, not 20
or 23 atoms. This technology will be useful for conducting direct
comparisons between many different types of chemical libraries to
determine their relative utility as a source of protein ligands.

Abstract
Natural product discovery arises through a unique interplay between chromatographic purification and biological assays. Currently, most techniques used for natural product purification deliver leads without a defined biological action. We now describe a technique, referred to herein as functional chromatography, that deploys biological affinity as the matrix for compound isolation.

Abstract
Similarity-based clustering and classification of compounds enable the search of drug leads and the structural and chemogenomic studies for facilitating chemical, biomedical, agricultural, material and other industrial applications. A database that organizes compounds into similarity-based as well as scaffold-based and property-based families is useful for facilitating these tasks. CFam Chemical Family database http://bidd2.cse.nus.edu.sg/cfam was developed to hierarchically cluster drugs, bioactive molecules, human metabolites, natural products, patented agents and other molecules into functional families, superfamilies and classes of structurally similar compounds based on the literature-reported high, intermediate and remote similarity measures. The compounds were represented by molecular fingerprint and molecular similarity was measured by Tanimoto coefficient. The functional seeds of CFam families were from hierarchically clustered drugs, bioactive molecules, human metabolites, natural products, patented agents, respectively, which were used to characterize families and cluster compounds into families, superfamilies and classes. CFam currently contains 11 643 classes, 34 880 superfamilies and 87 136 families of 490 279 compounds (1691 approved drugs, 1228 clinical trial drugs, 12 386 investigative drugs, 262 881 highly active molecules, 15 055 human metabolites, 80 255 ZINC-processed natural products and 116 783 patented agents). Efforts will be made to further expand CFam database and add more functional categories and families based on other types of molecular representations.

Abstract
Massive efforts in molecular library synthesis have strived for the development of synthesis methodology which systematically delivers natural product-like compounds of high spatial complexity. Herein, we present a conceptually simple approach that builds on the power of solid-phase peptide synthesis to assemble precursor peptides (oligomers) designed to undergo oxidative cascade reactions. By harnessing the structural side-chain diversity and inherent stereochemical features offered by readily available amino acids (monomers), a proof-of-concept collection of 54 skeletally and stereochemically diverse compounds was generated, and selected compounds were elaborated into isoform-selective metalloprotease inhibitors.

Abstract
Combinatorial biosynthesis aspires to exploit the promiscuity of microbial anabolic pathways to engineer the synthesis of new chemical entities. Fungal benzenediol lactone (BDL) polyketides are important pharmacophores with wide-ranging bioactivities, including heat shock response and immune system modulatory effects. Their biosynthesis on a pair of sequentially acting iterative polyketide synthases (iPKSs) offers a test case for the modularization of secondary metabolic pathways into "build-couple-pair" combinatorial synthetic schemes. Expression of random pairs of iPKS subunits from four BDL model systems in a yeast heterologous host created a diverse library of BDL congeners, including a polyketide with an unnatural skeleton and heat shock response-inducing activity. Pairwise heterocombinations of the iPKS subunits also helped to illuminate the innate, idiosyncratic programming of these enzymes. Even in combinatorial contexts, these biosynthetic programs remained largely unchanged, so that the iPKSs built their cognate biosynthons, coupled these building blocks into chimeric polyketide intermediates, and catalyzed intramolecular pairing to release macrocycles or α-pyrones. However, some heterocombinations also provoked stuttering, i.e., the relaxation of iPKSs chain length control to assemble larger homologous products. The success of such a plug and play approach to biosynthesize novel chemical diversity bodes well for bioprospecting unnatural polyketides for drug discovery.

Abstract
Screening of small molecule libraries is an important aspect of probe and drug discovery science. Numerous authors have suggested that bioactive natural products are attractive starting points for such libraries, due to their structural complexity and sp3-rich character. Here, we describe the construction of a screening library based on representative members of four families of biologically active alkaloids (Stemonaceae, the structurally related cyclindricine and lepadiformine families, lupin, and Amaryllidaceae). In each case, scaffolds were based on structures of the naturally occurring compounds or a close derivative. Scaffold preparation was pursued following the development of appropriate enabling chemical methods. Diversification provided 686 new compounds suitable for screening. The libraries thus prepared had structural characteristics, including sp3 content, comparable to a basis set of representative natural products and were highly rule-of-five compliant.
