Abstract
Despite their acknowledged significance in the inflammatory signalling cascade across a range of disease states, P2X7R antagonists have not yet proven to be effective in clinical trials. In this study, we present findings on P2X7 receptor antagonists that are based on a core adamantyl-cyanoguanidine-quinoline lead. To investigate the specific features of the cyanoguanidine moiety that influence compound potency we carried out a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. Compound potency was assessed using an in vitro dye-uptake assay measuring P2X7R pore formation. While none of the compounds displayed superior potency to the lead, we established key structural requirements for potent P2X7R antagonism. An additional SAR using different aryl groups was performed based on the promising activity displayed by the squaramide derivative.

Abstract
In this study, we describe the synthesis of cinchona (thio)squaramide and a novel cinchona thiourea organocatalyst. These catalysts were employed in pharmaceutically relevant catalytic asymmetric reactions, such as Michael, Friedel-Crafts, and A3 coupling reactions, in combination with Ag(I), Cu(II), and Ni(II) salts. We identified several organocatalyst-metal salt combinations that led to a significant increase in both yield and enantioselectivity. To gain insight into the active catalyst species, we prepared organocatalyst-metal complexes and characterized them using HRMS, NMR spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations (B3LYP-D4/def2-TZVP), which allowed us to establish a structure-activity relationship.

Abstract
Probes that covalently label protein targets facilitate the identification of ligand-binding sites. Lysine residues are prevalent in the proteome, making them attractive substrates for covalent probes. However, identifying electrophiles that undergo amine-specific, regioselective reactions with binding site lysine residues is challenging. Squarates can engage in two sequential conjugate addition-elimination reactions with amines. Nitrogen donation reduces the second reaction rate, making the mono squaramide a mild electrophile. We postulated that this mild electrophilicity would demand a longer residence time near the amine, affording higher selectivity for binding site lysines. Therefore, we compared the kinetics of squarate and monosquaramide amine substitution to alternative amine bioconjugation handles. The data revealed that N-hydroxy succinimidyl esters react 4 orders of magnitude faster, consistent with their labeling promiscuity. Squarate reactivity can be tuned by a substitution pattern. Electron-withdrawing groups on the vinylogous ester or amide increase reaction rates. Dithionosquarates react more rapidly than squarates, while vinylogous thioester analogs, dithiosquarates, react more slowly. We assessed squarate selectively using the UDP-sugar processing enzyme GlfT2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which possesses 21 surface-exposed lysines. The reaction predominately modified one lysine proximal to a binding site to afford covalent inhibition. These findings demonstrate the selectivity of squaric esters and squaramides, which is a critical feature for affinity-based chemoproteomic probes.

Abstract
Since the first application of natural quinine as an anti-malarial drug, cinchona alkaloids and their derivatives have been exhaustively studied for their biological activity. In our work, we tested 13 cinchona alkaloid organocatalysts, synthesised from quinine. These derivatives were screened against MES-SA and Dx5 uterine sarcoma cell lines for in vitro anticancer activity and to investigate their potential to overcome P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated multidrug resistance (MDR). Decorating quinine with hydrogen-bond donor units, such as thiourea and (thio)squaramide, resulted in decreased half-maximal growth inhibition values on both cell lines (1.3-21 µM) compared to quinine and other cinchona alcohols (47-111 µM). Further cytotoxicity studies conducted in the presence of the P-gp inhibitor tariquidar indicated that several analogues, especially cinchona amines and squaramides, but not thiosquaramide, were expelled from MDR cells by P-gp. Similarly to the established P-gp inhibitor quinine, 6 cinchona analogues were shown to inhibit calcein-AM efflux. Interestingly, quinine and didehydroquinine exhibited a marginally increased toxicity against the multidrug resistant Dx5 cells. Collateral sensitivity of the MDR cell line was more pronounced when the cinchona thiosquaramide was complexed with Cu(II) acetate. Based on the results, cinchona derivatives are good anticancer candidates for further drug development.

Abstract
AbstractThe synthesis of chiral proline-derived squaramide and thiosquaramide organocatalysts, which are capable of the dual activation in asymmetric reactions is reported. The (thio)squaramide moiety can form hydrogen bonds to activate the substrates and to stereocontrol the reaction, while the pyrrolidine unit can form enamines to activate carbonyl compounds via aminocatalysis. Comparing the performance of thiosquaramide to squaramide, the Diels–Alder reaction of (anthracen-9-yl)acetaldehyde and trans-β-nitrostyrene was examined, which has been investigated in the literature using quantum chemical calculations. Both squaramide and thiosquaramide gave excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantiomeric excess values (up to 98%). Moreover, their catalytic performance was compared in conjugate addition of lawsone to β,γ-unsaturated α-keto ester.

Abstract
SNM1A is a zinc-dependent nuclease involved in the removal of interstrand crosslink lesions from DNA. Inhibition of interstrand crosslink repair enzymes such as SNM1A is a promising strategy for improving the efficacy of crosslinking chemotherapy drugs. Initial studies have demonstrated the feasibility of developing SNM1A inhibitors, but the full potential of this enzyme as a drug target has yet to be explored. Herein, the synthesis of a family of squaramide- and thiosquaramide-bearing nucleoside derivatives and their evaluation as SNM1A inhibitors is reported. A gel electrophoresis assay was used to identify nucleoside derivatives bearing an N-hydroxysquaramide or squaric acid moiety at the 3′-position, and a thymidine derivative bearing a 5′-thiosquaramide, as candidate SNM1A inhibitors. Quantitative IC50 determination showed that a thymidine derivative bearing a 5′-thiosquaramide was the most potent inhibitor, followed by a thymidine derivative bearing a 3′-squaric acid. UV–Vis titrations were carried out to evaluate the binding of the (thio)squaramides to zinc ions, allowing the order of inhibitory potency to be rationalised. The membrane permeability of the active inhibitors was investigated, with several compounds showing promise for future in vivo applications.

Abstract
N,N-Diacylaminals are flexible molecular scaffolds that have commonly been utilized as amide surrogates in peptidomimetics. The singularities of this motif as an N-acyl imine equivalent and as hydrogen-bond donor have recently opened new synthetic opportunities, especially in the field of asymmetric catalysis. This concept article highlights this diverse synthetic potential and provides the elements necessary for further developments.

Abstract
An efficient method for the highly diastereoselective synthesis of chiral quaternary center-containing cyclopentenes via a cinchona alkaloid-derived thiosquaramide VIII-catalyzed tandem Michael-Henry reaction of phenacylmalononitriles and nitroolefins was deleveloped. Meanwhile, up to 98% of enantioselectivity was observed. A mechanism involving thiosqaramide-catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition and assisted E2 elimination was proposed based on experimental data and preliminary theoretical analysis (Hartree-Fock calculations).

Comparison of Cinchona Catalysts Containing Ethyl or Vinyl or Ethynyl Group at Their Quinuclidine Ring. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2019; 12:E3034. [PMID: 31540532 PMCID: PMC6766286 DOI: 10.3390/ma12183034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/1970] [Revised: 09/11/2019] [Accepted: 09/12/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Numerous cinchona organocatalysts with different substituents at their quinuclidine unit have been described and tested, but the effect of those saturation has not been examined before. This work presents the synthesis of four widely used cinchona-based organocatalyst classes (hydroxy, amino, squaramide, and thiourea) with different saturation on the quinuclidine unit (ethyl, vinyl, ethynyl) started from quinine, the most easily available cinchona derivative. Big differences were found in basicity of the quinuclidine unit by measuring the pKa values of twelve catalysts in six solvents. The effect of differences was examined by testing the catalysts in Michael addition reaction of pentane-2,4-dione to trans-β-nitrostyrene. The 1.6-1.7 pKa deviation in basicity of the quinuclidine unit did not result in significant differences in yields and enantiomeric excesses. Quantum chemical calculations confirmed that the ethyl, ethynyl, and vinyl substituents affect the acid-base properties of the cinchona-thiourea catalysts only slightly, and the most active neutral thione forms are the most stable tautomers in all cases. Due to the fact that cinchonas with differently saturated quinuclidine substituents have similar catalytic activity in asymmetric Michael addition application of quinine-based catalysts is recommended. Its vinyl group allows further modifications, for instance, recycling the catalyst by immobilization.

Abstract
Reported herein is the development of [3 + 3] cycloaddition reactions between oxyallyl cations and nitrones to yield 1,2-oxazinane heterocycles. Oxyallyl cation intermediates, generated in situ from α-tosyloxy ketones in the presence of hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP), a cosolvent, and a base, are found to react with a range of nitrones to afford 1,2-oxazinanes in good to high yields. The reactions are catalyzed by hydrogen-bond donors such as phenols and squaramides, and dramatically higher diastereoselectivities are observed with 4-nitrophenol.
