Abstract
A colorimetric assay of DNA cleavage by bleomycin (BLM) derivatives was developed utilizing high colloidal stability on double-stranded (ds) DNA-modified gold nanoparticles (dsDNA-AuNPs) possessing a cleavage site. The assay was performed using dsDNA-AuNPs treated with inactive BLM or activated BLM (Fe(II)⋅BLM). A 10-min exposure in dsDNA-AuNPs with inactive BLM treatment resulted in a rapid color change from red to purple because of salt-induced non-crosslinking aggregation of dsDNA-AuNPs. In contrast, the addition of active Fe(II)⋅BLM retained the red color, probably because of the formation of protruding structures at the outermost phase of dsDNA-AuNPs caused by BLM-mediated DNA cleavage. Furthermore, the results of our model experiments indicate that oxidative base release and DNA-cleavage pathways could be visually distinguished with color change. The present methodology was also applicable to model screening assays using several drugs with different mechanisms related to antitumor activity. These results strongly suggest that this assay with a rapid color change could lead to simple and efficient screening of potent antitumor agents.

Abstract
Virus-like particles (VLPs) derived from Leviviridae virions contain substantial amounts of cellular and plasmid-derived RNA. This encapsidated polynucleotide serves as a reservoir for the efficient binding of the intercalating dye thiazole orange (TO). Polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules and oligopeptides of varying length, end-functionalized with TO, were loaded into VLPs up to approximately 50 % of the mass of the capsid protein (hundreds to thousands of cargo molecules per particle, depending on size). The kinetics of TO-PEG binding included a significant entropic cost for the reptation of long chains through the capsid pores. Cargo molecules were released over periods of 20-120 hours following simple reversible first-order kinetics in most cases. These observations define a simple general method for the noncovalent packaging, and subsequent release, of functional molecules inside nucleoprotein nanocages in a manner independent of modifications to the capsid protein.

Abstract
A summary of the investigation and applications of the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction is provided that have been conducted in our laboratory over a period that now spans more than 35 years. The work, which continues to provide solutions to complex synthetic challenges, is presented in the context of more than 70 natural product total syntheses in which the reactions served as a key strategic step in the approach. The studies include the development and use of the cycloaddition reactions of heterocyclic azadienes (1,2,4,5-tetrazines; 1,2,4-, 1,3,5-, and 1,2,3-triazines; 1,2-diazines; and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles), 1-aza-1,3-butadienes, α-pyrones, and cyclopropenone ketals. Their applications illustrate the power of the methodology, often provided concise and nonobvious total syntheses of the targeted natural products, typically were extended to the synthesis of analogues that contain deep-seated structural changes in more comprehensive studies to explore or optimize their biological properties, and highlight a wealth of opportunities not yet tapped.

Abstract
The cancer chemotherapeutic drug, bleomycin, is clinically used to treat several neoplasms including testicular and ovarian cancers. Bleomycin is a metallo-glycopeptide antibiotic that requires a transition metal ion, usually Fe(II), for activity. In this review, the properties of bleomycin are examined, especially the interaction of bleomycin with DNA. A Fe(II)-bleomycin complex is capable of DNA cleavage and this process is thought to be the major determinant for the cytotoxicity of bleomycin. The DNA sequence specificity of bleomycin cleavage is found to at 5′-GT* and 5′-GC* dinucleotides (where * indicates the cleaved nucleotide). Using next-generation DNA sequencing, over 200 million double-strand breaks were analysed, and an expanded bleomycin sequence specificity was found to be 5′-RTGT*AY (where R is G or A and Y is T or C) in cellular DNA and 5′-TGT*AT in purified DNA. The different environment of cellular DNA compared to purified DNA was proposed to be responsible for the difference. A number of bleomycin analogues have been examined and their interaction with DNA is also discussed. In particular, the production of bleomycin analogues via genetic manipulation of the modular non-ribosomal peptide synthetases and polyketide synthases in the bleomycin gene cluster is reviewed. The prospects for the synthesis of bleomycin analogues with increased effectiveness as cancer chemotherapeutic agents is also explored.

Abstract
A Perspective of work in our laboratory on the examination of biologically active compounds, especially natural products, is presented. In the context of individual programs and along with a summary of our work, selected cases are presented that illustrate the impact single atom changes can have on the biological properties of the compounds. The examples were chosen to highlight single heavy atom changes that improve activity, rather than those that involve informative alterations that reduce or abolish activity. The examples were also chosen to illustrate that the impact of such single-atom changes can originate from steric, electronic, conformational, or H-bonding effects, from changes in functional reactivity, from fundamental intermolecular interactions with a biological target, from introduction of a new or altered functionalization site, or from features as simple as improvements in stability or physical properties. Nearly all the examples highlighted represent not only unusual instances of productive deep-seated natural product modifications and were introduced through total synthesis but are also remarkable in that they are derived from only a single heavy atom change in the structure.

Abstract
![]()
The disaccharide moiety is responsible
for the tumor cell targeting
properties of bleomycin (BLM). While the aglycon (deglycobleomycin)
mediates DNA cleavage in much the same fashion as bleomycin, it exhibits
diminished cytotoxicity in comparison to BLM. These findings suggested
that BLM might be modular in nature, composed of tumor-seeking and
tumoricidal domains. To explore this possibility, BLM analogues were
prepared in which the disaccharide moiety was attached to deglycobleomycin
at novel positions, namely, via the threonine moiety or C-terminal
substituent. The analogues were compared with BLM and deglycoBLM for
DNA cleavage, cancer cell uptake, and cytotoxic activity. BLM is more
potent than deglycoBLM in supercoiled plasmid DNA relaxation, while
the analogue having the disaccharide on threonine was less active
than deglycoBLM and the analogue containing the C-terminal disaccharide
was slightly more potent. While having unexceptional DNA cleavage
potencies, both glycosylated analogues were more cytotoxic to cultured
DU145 prostate cancer cells than deglycoBLM. Dye-labeled conjugates
of the cytotoxic BLM aglycons were used in imaging experiments to
determine the extent of cell uptake. The rank order of internalization
efficiencies was the same as their order of cytotoxicities toward
DU145 cells. These findings establish a role for the BLM disaccharide
in tumor targeting/uptake and suggest that the disaccharide moiety
may be capable of delivering other cytotoxins to cancer cells. While
the mechanism responsible for uptake of the BLM disaccharide selectively
by tumor cells has not yet been established, data are presented which
suggest that the metabolic shift to glycolysis in cancer cells may
provide the vehicle for selective internalization.

Abstract
Total syntheses of (-)-pyrimidoblamic acid and P-3A are disclosed. Central to the convergent approach is a powerful inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction between substituted electron-deficient 1,2,3-triazines and a highly functionalized and chiral primary amidine, which forms the pyrimidine cores and introduces all necessary stereochemistry in a single step. Intrinsic in the convergent approach is the potential it provides for the late stage divergent synthesis of modified analogs bearing deep-seated changes in either the pyrimidine cores or the highly functionalized C2 side chain common to both natural products. The examination of the key cycloaddition reaction revealed that the inherent 1,2,3-triazine mode of cycloaddition (C4/N1 vs C5/N2) as well as the amidine regioselectivity were unaffected by introduction of two electron-withdrawing groups (-CO2R) at C4 and C6 of the 1,2,3-triazine even if C5 is unsubstituted (Me or H), highlighting the synthetic potential of the powerful pyrimidine synthesis.

Abstract
The bleomycins (BLMs) are a family of natural glycopeptides used clinically as antitumor agents. In the presence of required cofactors (Fe(2+) and O(2)), BLM causes both single-stranded (ss) and double-stranded (ds) DNA damage with the latter thought to be the major source of cytotoxicity. Previous biochemical and structural studies have demonstrated that BLM can mediate ss cleavage through multiple binding modes. However, our studies have suggested that ds cleavage occurs by partial intercalation of BLM's bithiazole tail 3' to the first cleavage site that facilitates its re-activation and re-organization to the second strand without dissociation from the DNA where the second cleavage event occurs. To test this model, a BLM A5 analog (CD-BLM) with beta-cyclodextrin attached to its terminal amine was synthesized. This attachment presumably precludes binding via intercalation. Cleavage studies measuring ss:ds ratios by two independent methods were carried out. Studies using [(32)P]-hairpin technology harboring a single ds cleavage site reveal a ss:ds ratio of 6.7 +/- 1.2:1 for CD-BLM and 3.4:1 and 3.1 +/- 0.3:1 for BLM A2 and A5, respectively. In contrast with BLM A5 and A2, however, CD-BLM mediates ds-DNA cleavage through cooperative binding of a second CD-BLM molecule to effect cleavage on the second strand. Studies using the supercoiled plasmid relaxation assay revealed a ss:ds ratio of 2.8:1 for CD-BLM in comparison with 7.3:1 and 5.8:1, for BLM A2 and A5, respectively. This result in conjunction with the hairpin results suggest that multiple binding modes of a single BLM can lead to ds-DNA cleavage and that ds cleavage can occur using one or two BLM molecules. The significance of the current study to understanding BLM's action in vivo is discussed.

Abstract
An efficient divergent synthesis of L-sugars and L-iminosugars from D-sugars is described. The important intermediate, delta-hydroxyalkoxamate, prepared from D-glucono-/galactono-1,5-lactone, was cyclized under Mitsunobu conditions to give the O-cyclized oxime compound and the N-cyclized lactam compound as mixtures. A more detailed investigation revealed that the appropriate protecting groups and solvents controlled the specificity for the O-/N-cyclization of the delta-hydroxyalkoxamate. Suitable protection at the 6-position of delta-hydroxyalkoxamate, derived from D-glucono-1,5-lactone, afforded the corresponding O-alkylation product alone. Thus we succeeded in applying this to the total synthesis of L-iduronic acid. In contrast, with both TBDMS as the protecting group and RCN as the solvent the efficient conversion of D-glucono/galactono-1,5-lactone into the corresponding L-iminosugars (L-idonolactam and L-altronolactam) was achieved.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes promote a number of oxidative biotransformations including the hydroxylation of unactivated hydrocarbons. Whereas the long-standing consensus view of the P450 mechanism implicates a high-valent iron-oxene species as the predominant oxidant in the radicalar hydrogen abstraction/oxygen rebound pathway, more recent studies on isotope partitioning, product rearrangements with 'radical clocks', and the impact of threonine mutagenesis in P450s on hydroxylation rates support the notion of the nucleophilic and/or electrophilic (hydro)peroxo-iron intermediate(s) to be operative in P450 catalysis in addition to the electrophilic oxenoid-iron entity; this may contribute to the remarkable versatility of P450s in substrate modification. Precedent to this mechanistic concept is given by studies with natural and synthetic P450 biomimics. While the concept of an alternative electrophilic oxidant necessitates C-H hydroxylation to be brought about by a cationic insertion process, recent calculations employing density functional theory favour a 'two-state reactivity' scenario, implicating the usual ferryl-dependent oxygen rebound pathway to proceed via two spin states (doublet and quartet); state crossing is thought to be associated with either an insertion or a radicalar mechanism. Hence, challenge to future strategies should be to fold the disparate and sometimes contradictory data into a harmonized overall picture.

Abstract
4-Deoxy-l-hexoses were synthesized starting from our previously reported reagent 1 and (R)-benzyl glycidyl ether, which led in few steps to a substituted dihydropyran 6. The stereocontrolled hydroxylation of the latter afforded the corresponding 4-deoxy-l-hexoses 7a, 9, and 11. The same procedure, starting from (S)-benzyl glycidyl ether, enabled the preparation of their d-series enantiomers.

Abstract
The bleomycins (BLMs) are used clinically in combination chemotherapy, their clinical usefulness being limited by the accompanying pulmonary toxicity. Much has been learned about the structure and function of BLMs in vitro. However, the mechanism of their cytoxicity in vivo, including their target(s), metal cofactor(s) effecting nucleic acid cleavage and its (their) oxidation state, concentrations of BLM in the nucleus of the cell, BLM metabolism, hot spots for double-strand DNA cleavage, and their repair, have remained elusive. New methods offer new opportunities to revisit and solve old problems, which could ultimately lead to development of a more effective therapeutic.

Abstract
Deglycobleomycin binds to and degrades the self-complementary oligonucleotide d(CGCTAGCG)(2) in a sequence selective fashion. A previous modeling study [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 120, (1998), 7450] had shown that, during binding to double stranded DNA, the conformation of the methylvalerate domain of deglycoBLM approximated that of S-proline. In the belief that an analogue of deglycoBLM structurally constrained to mimic the DNA-bound conformation might exhibit facilitated DNA binding and cleavage, an analogue of deglycoBLM was prepared in which the methylvalerate moiety was replaced by S-proline. This deglycoBLM analogue, as well as the related analogue containing R-proline, was synthesized on a TentaGel resin. Both of the analogues were found to be capable of binding Fe(2+) and activating O(2) for transfer to styrene. However, both deglycoBLM analogues exhibited diminished abilities to effect the relaxation of supercoiled plasmid DNA, and neither mediated sequence selective DNA cleavage.

Abstract
The bleomycin (BLM) group antitumor antibiotics are glycopeptide-derived natural products shown to cause sequence selective lesions in DNA. Prior studies have indicated that the linker region, composed of the methylvalerate and threonine residues, may be responsible for a conformational bend in the agent required for efficient DNA cleavage. We have synthesized a number of conformationally constrained methylvalerate analogues and incorporated them into deglycobleomycin A(5) congeners using our recently reported procedure for the solid phase construction of (deglyco)bleomycin and its analogues. These analogues were designed to probe the effects of conformational constraint of the native valerate moiety. Initial experiments indicated that the constrained molecules, none of which mimic the conformation proposed for the natural valerate linker, possessed DNA cleavage activity, albeit with potencies less than that of (deglyco)BLM and lacking sequence selectivity. Further experiments demonstrated that these analogues failed to produce alkali-labile lesions in DNA or sequence selective oxidative damage in RNA. However, two of the conformationally constrained deglycoBLM analogues were shown to mediate RNA cleavage in the absence of added Fe(2+). The ability of the analogues to mediate the oxygenation of small molecules was also assayed, and it was shown that they were as competent in the transfer of oxygen to low molecular weight substrates as the parent compound.

Abstract
The bleomycins (BLMs) are structurally related glycopeptide antibiotics isolated from Streptomyces verticillus that mediate the sequence-selective oxidative damage of DNA and RNA. Deglycobleomycin, which lacks the carbohydrate moiety, cleaves DNA analogously to bleomycin itself, albeit less potently, and has been used successfully for analyzing the functional domains of bleomycin. Although structural modifications to bleomycin and deglycobleomycin have been reported, no bleomycin or deglycobleomycin analogue having enhanced DNA cleavage activity has yet been described. The successful synthesis of a deglycobleomycin on a solid support has permitted the facile solid-phase synthesis of 108 unique deglycobleomycin analogues through parallel solid-phase synthesis. Each of the deglycobleomycin analogues was synthesized efficiently; the purity of each crude product was greater than 60%, as determined by HPLC integration. The solid-phase synthesis of the deglycobleomycin library provided near-milligram to milligram quantities of each deglycobleomycin, thereby permitting characterization by (1)H NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Each analogue demonstrated supercoiled plasmid DNA relaxation above background cleavage; the library included two analogues that mediated plasmid relaxation to a greater extent than the parent deglycobleomycin molecule.

Abstract
HO(2)-Co(III)bleomycin is a model for HO(2)-Fe(III)bleomycin, which initiates single and double strand cleavage of DNA. In order to enlarge the understanding of its structure and reactivity, three-dimensional structures of HO(2)-Co(III)bleomycin bound to two DNA oligomers, d(GAGCTC)(2) (I) and d(GGAAGCTTCC)(2) (II), that have 5'-GC-3' binding sites, have been determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods. Besides previously recognized determinants of binding selectivity, a probable hydrogen bond was detected between the pyrimidinyl acetamido NH(2) and the carbonyl of cytosine base paired to G at the recognition site. Another hydrogen bond between the NH of the dimethylsulfonium R group and N7 of guanine opposite cytosine at the GC site may contribute to specification of the pyrimidine. Substitution of G with inosine shifted HO(2)-Co(III)Blm A(2)[bond]I and Fe(III)Blm[bond]I into fast exchange on the NMR time scale, supporting the role of the 2-amino group in site specification for each molecule. The conformationally stable metal-domain linker established a close-packed adduct with the minor groove in which the hydroperoxide ligand occupies a sterically constrained pocket that is isolated from the solvent. The hydroperoxide group is directed toward one of the two cytosine H4' hydrogens but is sterically blocked from access to the other by the drug. These findings enlarge the structural understanding of selective binding of Co(III)/Fe(III)Blm species at G-pyrimidine sites. They also rationalize the instability of a number of ligands bound to Co(III)/Fe(III)Blm at specific binding sequences and the relative unreactivity of Fe(III)Blm[bond]I with ascorbate as well as its lack of interaction with spin labels.

Abstract
A series of aryl amines was found to induce cleavage of DNA. Subsequent refinement led to an efficient family of dimeric derivatives capable of cleavage at low concentration. Initial investigations suggest this is an unprecedented mode of DNA cleavage, which may be ultimately applied to the development of sequence-specific agents.
