Fluorescence lifetime FRET assay for live-cell high-throughput screening of the cardiac SERCA pump yields multiple classes of small-molecule allosteric modulators. Sci Rep 2023; 13:10673.

Abstract
We have used FRET-based biosensors in live cells, in a robust high-throughput screening (HTS) platform, to identify small-molecules that alter the structure and activity of the cardiac sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA2a). Our primary aim is to discover drug-like small-molecule activators that improve SERCA's function for the treatment of heart failure. We have previously demonstrated the use of an intramolecular FRET biosensor, based on human SERCA2a, by screening two different small validation libraries using novel microplate readers that detect the fluorescence lifetime or emission spectrum with high speed, precision, and resolution. Here we report results from FRET-HTS of 50,000 compounds using the same biosensor, with hit compounds functionally evaluated using assays for Ca2+-ATPase activity and Ca2+-transport. We focused on 18 hit compounds, from which we identified eight structurally unique scaffolds and four scaffold classes as SERCA modulators, approximately half of which are activators and half are inhibitors. Five of these compounds were identified as promising SERCA activators, one of which activates Ca2+-transport even more than Ca2+-ATPase activity thus improving SERCA efficiency. While both activators and inhibitors have therapeutic potential, the activators establish the basis for future testing in heart disease models and lead development, toward pharmaceutical therapy for heart failure.

Abstract
Direct transamidation is gaining prominence as a ground-breaking technique that generates a wide variety of amides without the requirement of acid-amine coupling or other intermediate steps. However, transamidation of unactivated aliphatic amides, on the other hand, has been a long-standing issue in comparison to transamidation of activated amides. Herein, we report a transamidation approach of an unactivated aliphatic amide using a copper catalyst and chlorotrimethylsilane as an additive. In addition, we used transamidation as a tool for selective N-C(O) cleavage and O-C(O) formation to synthesise 2-substituted benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles. The reactions were carried out without using any solvents and offered wide substitution scope.
