Abstract
Chiral motifs of 2,3-dihydro-1,4 benzodioxane are extensively utilized in diverse medicinal substances and bioactive natural compounds, exhibiting significant biological activities. Notable examples of such therapeutic agents include prosympal, dibozane, piperoxan, and doxazosin. In this work, using 1,4-benzodioxane-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester as the substrate, after screening 38 CALB covariant residues, we found that mutants A225F and A225F/T103A can catalyze the kinetic resolution of the substrate. The effect of temperature, cosolvent, and cosolvent concentration on kinetic resolution was investigated, revealing that the best results were achieved at 30 °C with 20% n-butanol as a cosolvent, resulting in an optimal resolution (e.e.s 97%, E = 278) at 50 mM substrate concentration. Structure analysis showed that mutation sites 225 and 103 are not among the sites that interact directly with the substrate, which means that covariant amino acids that interact remotely with the substrate also regulate enzyme catalysis. This research may provide us with a new strategy for enzyme evolution.

Abstract
Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of various benzo[ b][1,4]dioxine derivatives was successfully developed to prepare chiral 2-substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzo[1,4]dioxane derivatives using ZhaoPhos and N-methylation of ZhaoPhos ligands with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield, >99% enantiomeric excess (ee), turnover number (TON) = 24 000). Moreover, this asymmetric hydrogenation methodology, as the key step with up to 10 000 TON, was successfully applied to develop highly efficient synthetic routes for the construction of some important biologically active molecules, such as MKC-242, WB4101, BSF-190555, and ( R)-doxazosin·HCl.

Abstract
It is becoming increasingly clear that neurotransmitters impose direct influence on regulation of the immune process. Recently, a simple but sophisticated neuroendocrine-immune (NEI) system was identified in oyster, which modulated neural immune response via a "nervous-hemocyte"-mediated neuroendocrine immunomodulatory axis (NIA)-like pathway. In the present study, the de novo synthesis of neurotransmitters and their immunomodulation in the hemocytes of oyster Crassostrea gigas were investigated to understand the autocrine/paracrine pathway independent of the nervous system. After hemocytes were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, acetylcholine (ACh), and norepinephrine (NE) in the cell supernatants, both increased to a significantly higher level (2.71- and 2.40-fold, p < 0.05) comparing with that in the control group. The mRNA expression levels and protein activities of choline O-acetyltransferase and dopamine β-hydroxylase in hemocytes which were involved in the synthesis of ACh and NE were significantly elevated at 1 h after LPS stimulation, while the activities of acetylcholinesterase and monoamine oxidase, two enzymes essential in the metabolic inactivation of ACh and NE, were inhibited. These results demonstrated the existence of the sophisticated intracellular machinery for the generation, release and inactivation of ACh and NE in oyster hemocytes. Moreover, the hemocyte-derived neurotransmitters could in turn regulate the mRNA expressions of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) genes, the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and lysosome, and hemocyte phagocytosis. The phagocytic activities of hemocytes, the mRNA expressions of TNF and the activities of key immune-related enzymes were significantly changed after the block of ACh and NE receptors with different kinds of antagonists, suggesting that autocrine/paracrine self-regulation was mediated by transmembrane receptors on hemocyte. The present study proved that oyster hemocyte could de novo synthesize and release cholinergic and adrenergic neurotransmitters, and the hemocyte-derived ACh/NE could then execute a negative regulation on hemocyte phagocytosis and synthesis of immune effectors with similar autocrine/paracrine signaling pathway identified in vertebrate macrophages. Findings in the present study demonstrated that the immune and neuroendocrine system evolved from a common origin and enriched our knowledge on the evolution of NEI system.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2016; 58:50-58.

Abstract
We have now cloned an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor (A1AR) from the cDNA library of oyster Crassostrea gigas, designating as CgA1AR-1. The full length of CgA1AR-1 was 1149 bp and it encodes a protein of 382 amino acids containing a 7 transmembrane domain, whose putative topology was similar to the A1ARs in higher organisms and shared similarity of 19% with mammalian A1ARs according to the phylogenic analysis. After cell transfection of CgA1AR-1 into HEK293T cells and the incubation with its specific agonist norepinephrine (NE), the concentration of second messenger Ca2+ increased significantly (p < 0.05). But, this increasing of Ca2+ could be inhibited by adding A1AR antagonist DOX. Tissue distribution assays using qRT-PCR suggested that CgA1AR-1 mRNA was ubiquitously expressed in all the major tissues of oyster. LPS stimulation could induce the up-regulation of CgA1AR-1 mRNA in haemocytes from 12 h to 24 h post stimulation. Moreover, the blocking of CgA1AR-1 by DOX before LPS stimulation affected the mRNA expression of oyster TNF (CGI_10005109 and CGI_10006440) in haemocytes, resulting in the rise of haemocyte phagocytic rate and apoptosis index. In addition to cellular immunity, CgA1AR-1 was also involved in humoral immunity of oyster. Inhibition of CgA1AR-1 with DOX could repress the up-regulation of LZY and SOD activities caused by LPS stimulation. These results suggested that CgA1AR-1 acted as an α-1 adrenergic receptor in cetacholaminergic neuroendocrine-immune network mediating both cellular and humoral immune response.

Abstract
Both the enantiomers of 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxylic acid are valuable chiral synthons for enantiospecific synthesis of therapeutic agents such as (S)-doxazosin mesylate, WB 4101, MKC 242, 2,3-dihydro-2-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzodioxin, and N-[2,4-oxo-1,3-thiazolidin-3-yl]-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxamide. Pharmaceutical applications require these enantiomers in optically pure form. However, currently available methods suffer from one drawback or other, such as low efficiency, uncommon and not so easily accessible chiral resolving agent and less than optimal enantiomeric purity. Our interest in finding a biocatalyst for efficient production of enantiomerically pure 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxylic acid lead us to discover an amidase activity from Alcaligenes faecalis subsp. parafaecalis, which was able to kinetically resolve 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxyamide with E value of >200. Thus, at about 50% conversion, (R)-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxylic acid was produced in >99% e.e. The remaining amide had (S)-configuration and 99% e.e. The amide and acid were easily separated by aqueous (alkaline)-organic two phase extraction method. The same amidase was able to catalyse, albeit at much lower rate the hydrolysis of (S)-amide to (S)-acid without loss of e.e. The amidase activity was identified as indole-3-acetamide hydrolase (IaaH). IaaH is known to catalyse conversion of indole-3-acetamide (IAM) to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which is phytohormone of auxin class and is widespread among plants and bacteria that inhabit plant rhizosphere. IaaH exhibited high activity for 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxamide, which was about 65% compared to its natural substrate, indole-3-acetamide. The natural substrate for IaaH indole-3-acetamide shared, at least in part a similar bicyclic structure with 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-carboxamide, which may account for high activity of enzyme towards this un-natural substrate. To the best of our knowledge this is the first application of IaaH in production of industrially important molecules.

Abstract
In this study, the stereoselective pharmacokinetics of doxazosin enantiomers and their pharmacokinetic interaction were studied in rats. Enantiomer concentrations in plasma were measured using chiral high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection after oral or intravenous administration of (-)-(R)-doxazosin 3.0 mg/kg, (+)-(S)-doxazosin 3.0 mg/kg, and rac-doxazosin 6.0 mg/kg. AUC values of (+)-(S)-doxazosin were always larger than those of (-)-(R)-doxazosin, regardless of oral or intravenous administration. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) value of (-)-(R)-doxazosin after oral administration was significantly higher when given alone (110.5 ± 46.4 ng/mL) versus in racemate (53.2 ± 19.7 ng/mL), whereas the Cmax value of (+)-(S)-doxazosin did not change significantly. The area under the curve (AUC) and Cmax values for (+)-(S)-doxazosin after intravenous administration were significantly lower, and its Cl value significantly higher, when given alone versus in racemate. We speculate that (-)-(R)-doxazosin increases (+)-(S)-doxazosin exposure probably by inhibiting the elimination of (+)-(S)-doxazosin, and the enantiomers may be competitively absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. In conclusion, doxazosin pharmacokinetics are substantially stereospecific and enantiomer-enantiomer interaction occurs after rac-administration.

Abstract
AIM Doxazosin is a racemic mixture of (-)doxazosin and (+)doxazosin that is currently used as an add-on therapy for hypertension. In this study we investigated the contribution of each enantiomer to the hypotensive action of long-term administration of (±)doxazosin in conscious rats. METHODS Blood pressure of conscious SD rats was measured using a volume pressure recording system. The rats were orally administered (-)doxazosin, (+)doxazosin, or (±)doxazosin (8 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1)) for 12 weeks. Plasma concentrations of the agents were analyzed with HPLC. The effect of the agents on α1-adrenoceptor was examined in isolated rat caudal artery preparations. RESULTS Treatment of conscious rats with a single dose of (±)doxazosin (8 mg/kg) did not affected DBP and MBP, but significantly decreased SBP by 11.9% 4 h after the administration. Long-term treatment of conscious rats with (±)doxazosin significantly decreased SBP, DBP and MBP with a maximal decrease of SBP by 29.3% 8 h after the last administration. The rank order of the hypotensive actions caused by long-term treatment in conscious rats was (±)doxazosin>(+)doxazosin>>(-)doxazosin. However, the pKB values for inhibiting NA-induced contraction of isolated rat caudal artery were (+)doxazosin (8.995)>(±)doxazosin (8.694)>(-)doxazosin (8.032). The plasma concentrations of (-)doxazosin, (+)doxazosin, and (±)doxazosin were 18.26±3.55, 177.11±20.66, and 113.18±13.21 ng/mL, respectively, 8 h after the last administration of these agents. CONCLUSION Long-term treatment with (±)doxazosin produces potent hypotensive action in conscious rats that seems to result from synergic interaction of the two enantiomers.

Abstract
Doxazosin used in benign prostatic hyperplasia has the side effects of causing hypotension and the risk of heart failure. The 3 targets of α1A-adrenoceptors (in the prostate), α1D-adrenoceptors (in the aorta), and an unknown mechanism (in the heart) are involved, respectively. We hypothesized that there is a chiral recognition of doxazosin enantiomers in the 3 targets. Using isolated rat aorta (α1D-adrenoceptors) and rabbit prostate (α1A-adrenoceptors), we examined pA2 and pKB values of doxazosin enantiomers. We observed chronotropic and inotropic effects of doxazosin enantiomers in isolated rat and rabbit heart tissues. (–)Doxazosin and (+)doxazosin produced a shift to the right of concentration–contraction curves for noradrenalin (aorta) and phenylephrine (prostate smooth muscle). The pA2 value of (–)doxazosin (8.625 ± 0.053) was smaller than (+)doxazosin (9.503 ± 0.051) in rat aorta, but their pKB values in rabbit prostate were the same. In rat and rabbit heart tissues, (+)doxazosin (3–30 µmol·L−1) significantly decreased atrial rate, and produced negative inotropic effects; however, (–)doxazosin did not affect the atrial rate, and produced positive inotropic effects in the atria. Thus, the chiral carbon atom of doxazosin does not affect its activity at the therapeutic target of α1A-adrenoceptors in the prostate, but significantly changes its blocking activity against α1D-adrenoceptors in the aorta, and produces opposite inotropic effects in the atria via an α1-adrenoceptor-independent mechanism.

Abstract
(-)Doxazosin, one of (±)doxazosin enantiomers, was speculated to have a pharmacological enantioselectivity between the cardiovascular system and the urinary system by comparison with (+)doxazosin. Therefore, to evaluate the potential benefits of (-)doxazosin in the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia, we compared the effects of the 3 agents, using rat mesenteric artery preparations and obstructed bladder strips. Concentration-response curves for carbachol (contractile response) and isoprenaline (relaxant response) in detrusor muscle strips of the bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) rats were shifted to the left, with significant increases in the Emax values, and significant decreases in the EC50 values by comparison with the sham-operated rats (P < 0.05, n = 10). The enhanced responses in detrusor muscle strips of the BOO rats treated with (±)doxazosin and its enantiomers at 3 mg·(kg body mass)(-1)·day(-1) for 2 weeks returned to normal levels, and the 3 agents inhibited the enhanced responses to carbachol and isoprenaline to the same extent. On the other hand, the 3 agents uncompetitively inhibited the vasoconstrictive response curves for NA in the rat isolated mesenteric artery, and the pKB value of (-)doxazosin at vascular α1-adrenoceptors was significantly smaller (P < 0.05, n = 6) than that of (+)doxazosin or (±)doxazosin. In conclusion, although (-)doxazosin inhibits vascular functional α1-adrenoceptors more weakly than (+)doxazosin, both agents equally ameliorate the enhanced responses in detrusor muscle of BOO rats, suggesting that the chiral carbon atom in the molecular structure of doxazosin does not affect its beneficial effects in the bladder smooth muscle of BOO rats.
