Abstract
Drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) infections are a major burden on the population and the healthcare system. The establishment of Pf resistance to most existing antimalarial therapies has complicated the problem, and the emergence of resistance to artemisinin derivatives is even more concerning. It is increasingly difficult to cure malaria patients due to the limited availability of effective antimalarial drugs, resulting in an urgent need for more efficacious and affordable treatments to eradicate this disease. Herein, new nucleoside analogues including morpholino-nucleoside hybrids and thio-substituted nucleoside derivatives were prepared and evaluated for in vitro and in vivo antiparasitic activity that led a few hits especially nucleoside-thiopyranoside conjugates, which are highly effective against Pf3D7 and PfRKL-9 strains in submicromolar concentration. One adenosine derivative and four pyrimidine nucleoside analogues significantly reduced the parasite burden in mouse models infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA. Importantly, no significant hemolysis and cytotoxicity towards human cell line (RAW) was observed for the hits, suggesting their safety profile. Preliminary research suggested that these thiosugar-nucleoside conjugates could be used to accelerate the antimalarial drug development pipeline and thus deserve further investigation.

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of 4'-phosphonomethoxy pyrimidine ribonucleosides as potential anti-influenza agents. Arch Pharm (Weinheim) 2023:e2200382. [PMID: 36792964 DOI: 10.1002/ardp.202200382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023]
Abstract
Influenza viruses belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family and cause acute respiratory distress in humans. The developed drug resistance toward existing drugs and the emergence of viral mutants that can escape vaccines mandate the search for novel antiviral drugs. Herein, the synthesis of epimeric 4'-methyl-4'-phosphonomethoxy [4'-C-Me-4'-C-(O-CH2 P═O)] pyrimidine ribonucleosides, their phosphonothioate [4'-C-Me-4'-C-(O-CH2 P═S)] derivatives, and their evaluation against an RNA viral panel are described. Selective formation of the α- l-lyxo epimer, [4'-C-(α)-Me-4'-C-(β)-(O-CH2 -P(═O)(OEt)2 )] over the β- d-ribo epimer [4'-C-(β)-Me-4'-C-(α)-(O-CH2 -P(═O)(OEt)2 )] was explained by DFT equilibrium geometry optimizations studies. Pyrimidine nucleosides having the [4'-C-(α)-Me-4'-C-(β)-(O-CH2 -P(═O)(OEt)2 )] framework showed specific activity against influenza A virus. Significant anti-influenza virus A (H1N1 California/07/2009 isolate) was observed with the 4'-C-(α)-Me-4'-C-(β)-O-CH2 -P(═O)(OEt)2 -uridine derivative 1 (EC50 = 4.56 mM, SI50 > 56), 4-ethoxy-2-oxo-1(2H)-pyrimidin-1-yl derivative 3 (EC50 = 5.44 mM, SI50 > 43) and the cytidine derivative 2 (EC50 = 0.81 mM, SI50 > 13), respectively. The corresponding thiophosphonates 4'-C-(α)-Me-4'-C-(β)-(O-CH2 -P( S)(OEt)2 ) and thionopyrimidine nucleosides were devoid of any antiviral activity. This study shows that the 4'-C-(α)-Me-4'-(β)-O-CH2 -P(═O)(OEt)2 ribonucleoside can be further optimized to provide potent antiviral agents.

Abstract
d-Arabinofuranosyl-pyrimidine and -purine nucleoside analogues containing alkylthio-, acetylthio- or 1-thiosugar substituents at the C2’ position were prepared from the corresponding 3’,5’-O-silylene acetal-protected nucleoside 2’-exomethylenes by photoinitiated, radical-mediated hydrothiolation reactions. Although the stereochemical outcome of the hydrothiolation depended on the structure of both the thiol and the furanoside aglycone, in general, high d-arabino selectivity was obtained. The cytotoxic effect of the arabinonucleosides was studied on tumorous SCC (mouse squamous cell) and immortalized control HaCaT (human keratinocyte) cell lines by MTT assay. Three pyrimidine nucleosides containing C2’-butylsulfanylmethyl or -acetylthiomethyl groups showed promising cytotoxicity at low micromolar concentrations with good selectivity towards tumor cells. SAR analysis using a methyl β-d-arabinofuranoside reference compound showed that the silyl-protecting group, the nucleobase and the corresponding C2’ substituent are crucial for the cell growth inhibitory activity. The effects of the three most active nucleoside analogues on parameters indicative of cytotoxicity, such as cell size, division time and cell generation time, were investigated by near-infrared live cell imaging, which showed that the 2’-acetylthiomethyluridine derivative induced the most significant functional and morphological changes. Some nucleoside analogues also exerted anti-SARS-CoV-2 and/or anti-HCoV-229E activity with low micromolar EC50 values; however, the antiviral activity was always accompanied by significant cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Pleuromutilin is a fungal diterpene natural product with antimicrobial properties, semisynthetic derivatives of which are used in veterinary and human medicine. The development of bacterial resistance to pleuromutilins is known to be very slow, which makes the tricyclic diterpene skeleton of pleuromutilin a very attractive starting structure for the development of new antibiotic derivatives that are unlikely to induce resistance. Here, we report the very first synthetic modifications of pleuromutilin and lefamulin at alkene position C19–C20, by two different photoinduced addition reactions, the radical thiol-ene coupling reaction, and the atom transfer radical additions (ATRAs) of perfluoroalkyl iodides. Pleuromutilin were modified with the addition of several alkyl- and aryl-thiols, thiol-containing amino acids and nucleoside and carbohydrate thiols, as well as perfluoroalkylated side chains. The antibacterial properties of the novel semisynthetic pleuromutilin derivatives were investigated on a panel of bacterial strains, including susceptible and multiresistant pathogens and normal flora members. We have identified some novel semisynthetic pleuromutilin and lefamulin derivatives with promising antimicrobial properties.

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
At its basic conceptualization, photoclick chemistry embodies a collection of click reactions that are performed via the application of light. The emergence of this concept has had diverse impact over a broad range of chemical and biological research due to the spatiotemporal control, high selectivity, and excellent product yields afforded by the combination of light and click chemistry. While the reactions designated as "photoclick" have many important features in common, each has its own particular combination of advantages and shortcomings. A more extensive realization of the potential of this chemistry requires a broader understanding of the physical and chemical characteristics of the specific reactions. This review discusses the features of the most frequently employed photoclick reactions reported in the literature: photomediated azide-alkyne cycloadditions, other 1,3-dipolarcycloadditions, Diels-Alder and inverse electron demand Diels-Alder additions, radical alternating addition chain transfer additions, and nucleophilic additions. Applications of these reactions in a variety of chemical syntheses, materials chemistry, and biological contexts are surveyed, with particular attention paid to the respective strengths and limitations of each reaction and how that reaction benefits from its combination with light. Finally, challenges to broader employment of these reactions are discussed, along with strategies and opportunities to mitigate such obstacles.

Abstract
Nucleoside and nucleic acid analogues are known to possess a considerable therapeutic potential. In this work, by coupling cysteine to nucleosides, we successfully synthesized compounds that may not only have interesting biological properties in their monomeric form, but can be used beyond that, for oligomerization, in order to produce new types of synthetic nucleic acids. We elaborated different strategies for the synthesis of cysteinyl nucleosides as monomers of cysteinyl nucleic acids using nucleophilic substitution or thiol-ene coupling as a synthetic tool, and utilised on two complementary nucleosides, uridine and adenosine. Dipeptidyl dinucleosides and pentameric cysteinyl uridine were prepared from the monomeric building blocks, which are the first members of a new class of peptide nucleic acids containing the entire ribofuranosyl nucleoside units bound to the peptide backbone.

Abstract
Thioglycosides and C-glycosides represent pharmacologically useful classes of glycomimetics that possess a high degree of biological stability. One emerging tool for the stereoselective synthesis of thioglycosides is the photoinitiated addition of thiols to unsaturated sugars. Moreover, thiyl radical-mediated reactions of exo-glycals and 1-substituted endo-glycals offer facile routes to β-C-glycosidic structures. This Concept article summarizes the thiol-ene coupling strategies developed recently by our group and Somsák's group for the synthesis of several kinds of glycomimetics which are difficult to synthesize by conventional methods. One unusual characteristic of the thiol-ene reactions of endo-glycals is that heating inhibits, whereas cooling promotes the reaction. This unique temperature dependence as well as the effects of the enose structures and thiol configurations on the efficacy and stereoselectivity of the reactions are also discussed.

Abstract
The photoinitiated thiol-ene addition reaction is a highly stereo- and regioselective, and environmentally friendly reaction proceeding under mild conditions, hence it is ideally suited for the synthesis of carbohydrate mimetics. A comprehensive study on UV-light-induced reactions of 2,3-unsaturated O-, C-, S- and N-glycosides with various thiols was performed. The effect of experimental parameters and structural variations of the alkenes and thiols on the efficacy and regio- and stereoselectivity of the reactions was systematically studied and optimized. The type of anomeric heteroatom was found to profoundly affect the reactivity of 2,3-unsaturated sugars in the thiol-ene couplings. Hydrothiolation of 2,3-dideoxy O-glycosyl enosides efficiently produced the axially C2-S-substituted addition products with high to complete regioselectivity. Moderate efficacy and varying regio- and stereoselectivity were observed with 2,3-unsaturated N-glycosides and no addition occurred onto the endocyclic double bond of C-glycosides. Upon hydrothiolation of 2,3-unsaturated S-glycosides, the addition of thiyl radicals was followed by elimination of the thiyl aglycone resulting in 3-S-substituted glycals.

Abstract
Double hydrothiolation of bis enol ether macrocycles was achieved under photo-mediated conditions. The thiol-ene reactions afford a fully regioselective anti-Markovnikov post-functionalization. Thanks to the use of ethanedithiol as reagent, moderate to excellent diastereoselectivity was accomplished leading to macrocycles containing four defined stereocenters in only three steps from 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran (THF) or tetrahydropyran (THP).

Abstract
Oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates are abundant in all living organisms, taking part in a multitude of biological processes. The application of natural O-glycosides in biological studies and drug development is limited by their sensitivity to enzymatic hydrolysis. This issue made it necessary to design hydrolytically stable carbohydrate mimetics, where sulfur, carbon, or longer interglycosidic connections comprising two or three atoms replace the glycosidic oxygen. However, the formation of the interglycosidic linkages between the sugar residues in high diastereoslectivity poses a major challenge. Here, we report on stereoselective synthesis of carbon-sulfur-bridged disaccharide mimetics by the free radical addition of carbohydrate thiols onto the exo-cyclic double bond of unsaturated sugars. A systematic study on UV-light initiated radical mediated hydrothiolation reactions of enoses bearing an exocyclic double bond at C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6 positions of the pyranosyl ring with various sugar thiols was performed. The effect of temperature and structural variations of the alkenes and thiols on the efficacy and stereoselectivity of the reactions was systematically studied and optimized. The reactions proceeded with high efficacy and, in most cases, with complete diastereoselectivity producing a broad array of disaccharide mimetics coupling through an equatorially oriented methylensulfide bridge.

Abstract
A comprehensive optimization and mechanistic study on the photoinduced hydrothiolation of different d- and l- hexo- and pentoglycals with various thiols was performed, at the temperature range of RT to -120 °C. Addition of thiols onto 2-substituted hexoglycals proceeded with complete 1,2-cis-α-stereoselectivity in all cases. Hydrothiolation of 2-substituted pentoglycals resulted in mixtures of 1,2-cis-α- and -β-thioglycosides of varying ratio depending on the configuration of the reactants. Hydrothiolation of unsubstituted glycals at -80 °C proceeded with excellent yields and, except for galactal, provided the axially C2-S-linked isomers with high selectivity. Cooling was always beneficial to the efficacy, increased the yields and in most cases significantly raised the stereoselectivity. The suggested mechanism explains the different conformational preferences of the intermediate carbon-centered radicals, which is a crucial factor in the stereoselectivity of the reactions.

Abstract
A small library of 3’-deoxy-C3’-substituted xylofuranosyl-pyrimidine nucleoside analogues were prepared by photoinduced thiol-ene addition of various thiols, including normal and branched alkyl-, 2-hydroxyethyl, benzyl-, and sugar thiols, to 3’-exomethylene derivatives of 2’,5’-di-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-protected ribothymidine and uridine. The bioactivity of these derivatives was studied on tumorous SCC (mouse squamous carcinoma cell) and immortalized control HaCaT (human keratinocyte) cell lines. Several alkyl-substituted analogues elicited promising cytostatic activity in low micromolar concentrations with a slight selectivity toward tumor cells. Near-infrared live-cell imaging revealed SCC tumor cell-specific mitotic blockade via genotoxicity of analogue 10, bearing an n-butyl side chain. This analogue essentially affects the chromatin structure of SCC tumor cells, inducing a condensed nuclear material and micronuclei as also supported by fluorescent microscopy. The results highlight that thiol-ene chemistry represents an efficient strategy to discover novel nucleoside analogues with non-natural sugar structures as anticancer agents.
