Abstract
Calicheamicin is a potent, cell-cycle independent enediyne antibiotic that binds and cleaves DNA. Toxicity has led to its use in a targeted form, as an antibody-drug conjugate approved for the treatment of liquid tumors. We used a reduced calicheamicin to conjugate it to a single cysteine residue at the membrane-inserting end of a pH Low Insertion Peptide (pHLIP) that targets imaging and therapeutic agents to tumors. The cytoplasmic reduction of the disulfide releases the calicheamicin, and activation, DNA binding, and strand scission ensue. We studied the interaction of pHLIP-calicheamicin with liposomal and cellular membranes and demonstrated that the agent exhibits cytotoxic activity both in highly proliferative cancer cells and in non-proliferative immune cells, such as polarized M2 macrophages. In vivo, the agent was effective in inhibiting tumor growth in mice with no signs of toxicity. Biodistribution studies confirmed tumor targeting with no accumulation of the agent in organs and tissues. The agent was found within the tumor mass and tumor-stroma interface. Treatment of tumors led to the depletion of CD206+ M2- tumor-associated macrophages within the tumor core. pHLIP-calicheamicin could be pursued as an effective therapeutic for the treatment of solid tumors.

Structure-Antitumor Activity Relationships of Aza- and Diaza-Anthracene-2,9,10-Triones and Their Partially Saturated Derivatives. Molecules 2024; 29:489.

Abstract
The 1,8-Diazaanthracene-2,9,10-triones, their 5,8-dihydro derivatives, and 1,8-diazaanthracene-2,7,9,10-tetraones, structurally related to the diazaquinomycin family of natural products, were synthesized in a regioselective fashion employing Diels-Alder strategies. These libraries were studied for their cytotoxicity in a variety of human cancer cell lines in order to establish structure-activity relationships. From the results obtained, we conclude that some representatives of the 1,8-diazaanthracene-2,9,10-trione framework show potent and selective cytotoxicity against solid tumors. Similar findings were made for the related 1-azaanthracene-2,9,10-trione derivatives, structurally similar to the marcanine natural products, which showed improved activity over their natural counterparts. An enantioselective protocol based on the use of a SAMP-related chiral auxiliary derived was developed for the case of chiral 5-substituted 1,8-diazaanthracene-2,9,10-triones, and showed that their cytotoxicity was not enantiospecific.

Abstract
The present volume is the third in a trilogy that documents naturally occurring organohalogen compounds, bringing the total number-from fewer than 25 in 1968-to approximately 8000 compounds to date. Nearly all of these natural products contain chlorine or bromine, with a few containing iodine and, fewer still, fluorine. Produced by ubiquitous marine (algae, sponges, corals, bryozoa, nudibranchs, fungi, bacteria) and terrestrial organisms (plants, fungi, bacteria, insects, higher animals) and universal abiotic processes (volcanos, forest fires, geothermal events), organohalogens pervade the global ecosystem. Newly identified extraterrestrial sources are also documented. In addition to chemical structures, biological activity, biohalogenation, biodegradation, natural function, and future outlook are presented.

Abstract
Alkylation of aromatics and formation of a new C-C bond is usually achieved by the electrophilic attack of an activated carbon species on an electron-rich aromatic ring. Herein, we report an alternative method for alkylation of aromatics via nucleophilic addition of enolates of active methylene compounds to 1,4-dehydrobenzene diradicals derived from enediynes cyclodec-1,5-diyne-3-ene, benzo[3,4]-cyclodec-1,5-diyne-3-ene, and cyclohexeno[3,4]-cyclodec-1,5-diyne-3-ene. The benzo-substituted enediyne produces slightly higher yields of alkylation products than do the other two enediynes, but the differences are not substantial. The reaction produces a new C-C bonded aromatic alkylation product, which allows the construction of complex polyfunctional structures in a few steps. Moreover, this reaction provides solely C-arylated products, and no O-arylation products were observed.

Abstract
Natural enediyne antibiotics are powerful DNA-cleavage agents due to the presence of the highly reactive hex-3-ene-1,5-diyne units. However, the complicated chemical structure and thermal instability make their synthesis, derivatization, and storage challenging. Heterocycle-fused enediynes, which exhibit strong antineoplastic activity, are promising analogues of natural enediynes for medicinal applications. To this end, a series of maleimide-based enediynes with macrocyclic lactone moieties were synthesized through the Sonagashira coupling reaction. Differential scanning calorimetry and electron paramagnetic resonance results showed that these macrocyclic enediynes exhibited a rather low onset temperature and the ability to generate radicals at physiological temperature. In addition, the structure-activity relationship of enediynes was analyzed by changing the ring size and the substituents on the propargyl group. Cellular experiments indicated that the diradicals produced by these enediynes efficiently cleaved DNA and disrupted the cell cycle distribution, and consequently induced tumor cell death via an apoptosis pathway at low half inhibitory concentrations. Computational studies suggested that the maleimide moiety promoted the propargyl-allenyl rearrangement of the cyclic enediyne, enabling the generation of diradical species through the Myers-Saito cyclization, and then abstracted hydrogen atoms from the H-donors.

Abstract
The applicability of an intramolecular Nicholas reaction for the preparation of 10-membered O- and N-enediynes fused to indole, 1,2,3-triazole, and isocoumarin was investigated. The general approach to acyclic enediyne precursors fused to heterocycles includes inter- and intramolecular buta-1,3-diyne cyclizations with the formation of iodoethynylheterocycles, followed by Sonogashira coupling. The nature of both a heterocycle and a nucleophilic group affects the possibility of a 10-membered ring closure by the Nicholas reaction. Among oxacycles, an isocoumarin-fused enediyne was obtained. In the case of O-enediyne annulated with indole, instead of the formation of a 10-membered cycle, BF3-promoted addition of an OH-group to the proximal triple bond at the C3 position afforded dihydrofuryl-substituted indole. For 1,2,3-triazole-fused analogues, using NH-Ts as a nucleophilic functional group allowed obtaining 10-membered azaenediyne, while the substrate with a hydroxyl group gave only traces of the desired 10-membered oxacycle. An improved method for the deprotection of Co-complexes of cyclic enediynes using tetrabutylammonium fluoride in an acetone/water mixture and the investigation of the 10-membered enediynes' reactivity in the Bergman cyclization are also reported. In the solid state, all synthesized iodoethynylheterocycles were found to be involved in halogen bond (XB) formation with either O or N atoms as XB acceptors.

Abstract
The proton affinity (PA) of a neutral molecule is defined as the negative of the enthalpy change for the gas-phase reaction between a proton and the neutral molecule to produce the (charged) conjugate acid of the molecule. PA is a fundamental property that is related to the structure of a molecule and affects its reactivity. Very few PA values are available for basic organic monoradicals and none for biradicals. Here, the PA values for several σ-type carbon-centered pyridine-based monoradicals and biradicals have been experimentally determined by monitoring proton transfer from the protonated mono- and biradicals to reference bases with known proton affinities as a function of time in Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) and linear quadrupole ion trap (LQIT) mass spectrometers. A procedure was developed for both instruments that permits differentiation between exo- and endothermic proton transfer reactions. The PA values of all the (bi)radicals studied were found to be lower than that of pyridine. This is rationalized based on the electron-withdrawing nature of the radical site(s). Thus, the PA values decrease in the order: pyridine > monoradicals > biradicals. The PA values of the monoradicals were also found to increase (making the protonated radicals less acidic) as the distance between the basic nitrogen atom and the radical site increases. Similar behavior was found for the biradicals, with one exception: 3,5-didehydropyridine has a larger PA (215.3 ± 3.3 kcal mol-1) than 3,4-didehydropyridine (PA = 213.4 ± 3.3 kcal mol-1) even though the latter biradical has one radical site farther away from the basic nitrogen atom. Quantum chemical calculations of the PAs of the (bi)radicals are in reasonably good agreement with the experimentally determined values. At the DFT (B3LYP), CCSD(T), and CASPT2 levels of theory, the mean unsigned errors are 2.3, 1.7, and 2.1 kcal mol-1.

Abstract
Natural 5,8-quinolinedione antibiotics exhibit a broad spectrum of activities including anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, and antimalarial activities. The structure-activity research showed that the 5,8-quinolinedione scaffold is responsible for its biological effect. The subject of this review report is a presentation of the pharmacological activity of synthetic 5,8-quinolinedione compounds containing different groups at C-6 and/or C-7 positions. The relationship between the activity and the mechanism of action is included if these data have been included in the original literature. The review mostly covers the period between 2000 and 2019. Previously published literature data were used to present historical points.

Abstract
Streptomyces bacteria are recognized as an important source for antibiotics with broad applications in human medicine and animal health. Here, we report the isolation of a new lichen-associating Streptomyces sp. YIM 130001 from the tropical rainforest in Xishuangbanna (Yunnan, China), which displayed antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis. The draft genome sequence of this isolate strain revealed 18 putative biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for secondary metabolites, which is an unusually low number compared to a typical streptomycete. Inactivation of a lantibiotic dehydrogenase-encoding gene from the BGC presumed to govern biosynthesis of a thiopeptide resulted in the loss of bioactivity. Using comparative HPLC analysis, two peaks in the chromatogram were identified in the extract from the wild-type strain, which were missing in the extract from the mutant. The compounds corresponding to the identified peaks were purified, and structure of one compound was elucidated using NMR. The compound, designated geninthiocin B, showed high similarity to several 35-membered macrocyclic thiopeptides geninthiocin, Val-geninthiocin and berninamycin A. Bioinformatics analysis of the geninthiocin B BGC revealed its close homology to that of berninamycins.

Abstract
We report herein a gas-phase reactivity study on a para-benzyne cation and its three cyano-substituted, isomeric derivatives performed using a dual-linear quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. All four biradicals were found to undergo primary and secondary radical reactions analogous to those observed for the related monoradicals, indicating the presence of two reactive radical sites. The reactivity of all biradicals is substantially lower than that of the related monoradicals, as expected based on the singlet ground states of the biradicals. The cyano-substituted biradicals show substantially greater reactivity than the analogous unsubstituted biradical. The greater reactivity is rationalized by the substantially greater (calculated) electron affinity of the radical sites of the cyano-substituted biradicals, which results in stabilization of their transition states through polar effects. This finding is in contrast to the long-standing thinking that the magnitude of the singlet-triplet splitting controls the reactivity of para-benzynes.

Abstract
Alkynyl sulfonamides undergo sequential 1,4- then 1,2-addition/rearrangement with lithium acetylides to yield enediynes in the absence of any promoters or catalysts. Mechanistic investigations suggest that the reaction proceeds via 1,4-conjugate addition of the nucleophile to the unsaturated system to give a key alkenyl lithium species which is stabilised by an intramolecular coordination effect by a sulfonamide oxygen atom. This species can be considered a vinylidene carbenoid given the carbon atom bears both an anion (as a vinyllithium) and a leaving group (the sulfonamide). The intramolecular coordination effect serves to stabilise the vinyllithium but activates the sulfonamide motif towards nucleophilic attack by a second mole of acetylide. The resulting species can then undergo rearrangement to yield the enediyne framework in a single operation with concomitant loss of aminosulfinate.

Abstract
Two novel enediyne-derived natural products, amycolamycins A and B (1 and 2), were characterized from a locust-associated actinomycete Amycolatopsis sp. HCa4. Amycolamycins A and B contain a unique 2-(cyclopenta[a]inden-5-yl)oxirane core with suspected enediyne polyketide biosynthetic origin. Sequencing and analysis of the acm biosynthetic gene cluster allowed us to propose the biosynthetic pathway of 1 and 2. Moreover, amycolamycin A (1) was selectively cytotoxic to the M231 breast cancer cell line.

Abstract
The compounds produced by a living organism are most commonly as medicinal agents and starting materials for the preparation of new semi-synthetic derivatives. One of the largest groups of natural compounds consists of products containing a 1,4-benzoquinone subunit. This fragment occurs in three enediyne antibiotics, dynemicin A, deoxydynemicin A, and uncilamicin, which exhibit high biological activity. A series of alkoxy derivatives containing 1,4-naphthoquinone, 5,8-quinolinedione, and 2-methyl-5,8-quinolinedione moieties was synthesized. Moreover, the 1,4-benzoquinone subunit was contacted with an enediyne fragment. All obtained compounds were characterized by spectroscopy and spectrometry methods. The resulting alkane, alkene, alkyne and enediyne derivatives were tested as antitumor agents. They showed high cytotoxic activity depending on the type of 1,4-benzoquinone subunit and the employed tumor cell lines. The synthesized derivatives fulfill the Lipinski Rule of Five and have low permeability through the blood–brain barrier.

Abstract
In contrast to the widely accepted consensus of the existence of a single RNA polymerase in bacteria, several actinomycetes have been recently shown to possess two forms of RNA polymerases due the to co-existence of two rpoB paralogs in their genome. However, the biological significance of the rpoB duplication is obscure. In this study we have determined the genome sequence of the lipoglycopeptide antibiotic A40926 producer Nonomuraea gerenzanensis ATCC 39727, an actinomycete with a large genome and two rpoB genes, i.e. rpoB(S) (the wild-type gene) and rpoB(R) (the mutant-type gene). We next analyzed the transcriptional and metabolite profiles in the wild-type gene and in two derivative strains over-expressing either rpoB(R) or a mutated form of this gene to explore the physiological role and biotechnological potential of the "mutant-type" RNA polymerase. We show that rpoB(R) controls antibiotic production and a wide range of metabolic adaptive behaviors in response to environmental pH. This may give interesting perspectives also with regard to biotechnological applications.

Abstract
The proprotein convertases PCSK8 and PCSK4 are, respectively, the 8th and 4th members of Ca(+2)-dependent serine endoprotease of Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin Kexin (PCSK) super family structurally related to the bacterial subtilisin and yeast kexin. The membrane bound PCSK8 (also called SKI-1 or S1P) is implicated in sterol regulation and lipid synthesis via its role in the maturation of human (h) SREBP-2. It also plays role in cartilage formation, bone mineralization, as well as viral pathogenesis. On the other hand, PCSK4 has been linked to mammalian fertilization and placenta growth. Owing to these findings, interest has grown to develop specific inhibitors against these enzymes for potential biochemical and therapeutic applications. In this study we developed two types of small molecule inhibitors of PCSK8 and PCSK4 and demonstrated their anti-proteolytic activities in vitro cell-free and in vitro cell culture systems. These are isocoumarinyl methyl sulfone derivatives and enediyne amino acid containing peptides. Our in vitro data suggested that one of the 7 sulfone derivatives (methyl phenyl sulfone) inhibited PCSK8 with inhibition constant Ki ∼255μM. It also blocked PCSK8-mediated processing of hSREBP-2 in HepG2 cell in a concentration-dependent manner. However all 7 iso-coumarinyl methyl sulfones inhibited htrypsin with IC50 ranging from 2 to 165μM. In contrast, all our designed enediynyl peptides inhibited PCSK8 and PCSK4 activity with Ki and IC50 in low μM or high nM ranges. All compounds exhibited competitive inhibition as indicated by their enzyme kinetic plots and observed dependence of IC50 value on substrate concentration. Our study confirmed that incorporation at the substrate cleavage site of 'Enediyne amino acid' generates potent inhibitors of PCSK8 and PCSK4. This represents a novel approach for future development of inhibitors of PCSK or other enzymes.

Abstract
The gas-phase reactivity of charged para-benzynes is entirely unexplored as they and/or their precursors tend to undergo ring-opening upon their generation. We report here a gas-phase reactivity study of two such benzynes, the 2,5-didehydropyridinium and 5,8-didehydroisoquinolinium cations, generated in a modified dual-linear quadrupole ion trap (DLQIT) mass spectrometer. Both biradicals were found to form diagnostic products with organic molecules, indicating the presence of two radical sites. As opposed to earlier predictions that the singlet-triplet (S-T) splitting controls the radical reactivity of such species, the 2,5-didehydropyridinium cation reacts much faster in spite of its larger S-T splitting. Calculated vertical electron affinities of the radical sites of the para-benzynes, a parameter related to the polarity of the transition states of their reactions, appears to be the most important reactivity controlling factor.

Abstract
Aromatic diradicals are recognized as promising intermediates for DNA cleavage, but their formation has thus far been limited to the Bergman and Myers–Saito cycloaromatizations. We report here the phototriggered generation of all isomers of the potential DNA-cleaving α,n-didehydrotoluene diradicals at physiological pH, accomplished by the irradiation of chlorophenylacetic acids under mild conditions. The desired diradicals were formed upon photolysis of the chosen aromatic in aqueous phosphate buffer solution (pH = 7.3), with the consecutive elimination of biologically compatible chloride ion and carbon dioxide. Theoretical simulations reveal that the efficient decarboxylation of the primarily generated phenyl cations involves a previously not known diradical structure.

Abstract
The coupling of two equivalents of ethynylferrocene (2) with one equivalent of 1,2-diiodocyclohexene (1) and 1,2-diiodobenzene (4) using Sonogashira cross-coupling conditions led to 1,2-bis(ferrocenylethynyl)cyclohexene (3) and 1,2-bis(ferrocenylethy-nyl)benzene (5), respectively. At high temperatures enediynes 3 and 5 showed exothermic signals in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, suggestive of intramolecular diradicaloid ring formation (Bergman (C1-C6) or Schreiner-Pascal (C1-C5) cyclizations). The oxidation of 3 and 5 to the mono-oxidized enediynes 3+ and 5+ decreased the onset temperatures drastically. Equally, 1-ferrocenylethynyl-2-(p-nitro-phenyl)ethynylbenzene (8) displayed a significant decrease in the onset temperature after oxidation to 8+. Because the insoluble nature of the polymeric material formed in the thermolysis of the oxidized enediynes prevented characterization, the origin of this drastic effect was studied by DFT. Contrary to expectations, one-electron oxidation does not lower the barrier for intramolecular cyclization. Rather, the computations suggest that the polymerization is initiated by a bimolecular process.

Abstract
Dynemicins are structurally related 10-membered enediyne natural products isolated from Micromonospora chernisa with potent antitumor and antibiotic activity. The early biosynthetic steps of the enediyne moiety of dynemicins are catalyzed by an iterative polyketide synthase (DynE8) and a thioesterase (DynE7). Recent studies indicate that the function of DynE7 is to off-load the linear biosynthetic intermediate assembled on DynE8. Here, we report crystal structures of DynE7 in its free form at 2.7 Å resolution and of DynE7 in complex with the DynE8-produced all-trans pentadecen-2-one at 2.1 Å resolution. These crystal structures reveal that upon ligand binding, significant conformational changes throughout the substrate-binding tunnel result in an expanded tunnel that traverses an entire monomer of the tetrameric DynE7 protein. The enlarged inner segment of the channel binds the carbonyl-conjugated polyene mainly through hydrophobic interactions, whereas the putative catalytic residues are located in the outer segment of the channel. The crystallographic information reinforces an unusual catalytic mechanism that involves a strictly conserved arginine residue for this subfamily of hot-dog fold thioesterases, distinct from the typical mechanism for hot-dog fold thioesterases that utilizes an acidic residue for catalysis.

Abstract
Background Furin represents a crucial member of secretory mammalian subtilase, the Proprotein Convertase (PC) or Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin (PCSK) superfamily. It has been linked to cancer, tumorgenesis, viral and bacterial pathogenesis. As a result it is considered a major target for intervention of these diseases. Methodology/Principal Findings Herein, we report, for the first time, the synthesis and biological evaluation of a newly designed potent furin inhibitor that contains a highly reactive beta-turn inducing and radical generating “enediynyl amino acid” (Eda) moiety. “Eda” was inserted between P1 and P1′ residues of hfurin98–112 peptide, derived from the primary cleavage site of furin's own prodomain. The resulting hexadecapeptide derivative inhibited furin in vitro with IC50 ∼40 nM when measured against the fluorogenic substrate Boc-RVRR-MCA. It also inhibited furin-mediated cleavage of a fluorogenic peptide derived from hSARS-CoV spike protein with IC50 ∼193 nM. Additionally it also blocked furin-processing of growth factors proPDGF-A, B and VEGF-C that are linked to tumor genesis and cancer. Circular dichroism study showed that this inhibitor displayed a predominantly beta-turn structure while western blots confirmed its ability to protect furin protein from self degradation. Conclusion/Significance These findings imply its potential as a therapeutic agent for intervention of cancer and other furin-associated diseases.

Abstract
Irradiation of the nine-membered ring enediyne precursor, which has one of its triple bonds masked as cyclopropenone, efficiently (Phi = 0.34) generates the reactive 4,5-benzocyclonona-2,6-diynol. The latter rapidly equilibrates with the corresponding 1,4-didehydronaphthalene diradical and then undergoes rate-limiting hydrogen abstraction to produce the ultimate product of the Bergman cyclization, benz[f]indanol.
