Abstract
Mutations in the GBA1 gene, encoding the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase), cause Gaucher disease (GD) and are the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). Pharmacological chaperones (PCs) are being developed as an alternative treatment approach for GD and PD. To date, NCGC00241607 (NCGC607) is one of the most promising PCs. Using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation we identified and characterized six allosteric binding sites on the GCase surface suitable for PCs. Two sites were energetically more preferable for NCGC607 and located nearby to the active site of the enzyme. We evaluated the effects of NCGC607 treatment on GCase activity and protein levels, glycolipids concentration in cultured macrophages from GD (n = 9) and GBA-PD (n = 5) patients as well as in induced human pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-derived dopaminergic (DA) neurons from GBA-PD patient. The results showed that NCGC607 treatment increased GCase activity (by 1.3-fold) and protein levels (by 1.5-fold), decreased glycolipids concentration (by 4.0-fold) in cultured macrophages derived from GD patients and also enhanced GCase activity (by 1.5-fold) in cultured macrophages derived from GBA-PD patients with N370S mutation (p < 0.05). In iPSC-derived DA neurons from GBA-PD patients with N370S mutation NCGC607 treatment increased GCase activity and protein levels by 1.1-fold and 1.7-fold (p < 0.05). Thus, our results showed that NCGC607 could bind to allosteric sites on the GCase surface and confirmed its efficacy on cultured macrophages from GD and GBA-PD patients as well as on iPSC-derived DA neurons from GBA-PD patients.

Abstract
A reliable method for the synthesis of bis-spirocyclic derivatives of 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes through the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (1,3-DC) reactions of cyclopropenes to the stable azomethine ylide – protonated form of Ruhemann's purple (PRP) has been developed. Both 3-substituted and 3,3-disubstituted cyclopropenes reacted with PRP, affording the corresponding bis-spirocyclic 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane cycloadducts in moderate to good yields with high diastereofacial selectivity. Moreover, several unstable 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropenes were successfully trapped by the stable 1,3-dipole under mild conditions. The mechanism of the cycloaddition reactions of cyclopropenes with PRP has been thoroughly studied using density functional theory (DFT) methods at the M11/cc-pVDZ level of theory. The cycloaddition reactions have been found to be HOMOcyclopropene–LUMOylide controlled while the transition-state energies for the reaction of 3-methyl-3-phenylcyclopropene with PRP are fully consistent with the experimentally observed stereoselectivity.

Abstract
AbstractA diastereoselective synthesis of biologically interesting spirobarbiturates has been achieved via [3+2] cycloaddition of alloxan-derived azomethine ylides to 3-R-1,2-diphenylcyclopropenes. With this approach, a range of spirobarbiturate-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes and spirobarbiturate-cyclopropa[a]pyrrolizines were obtained in moderate to good yields with excellent diastereoselectivities. DFT calculations (M11 density functional theory) were carried out to shed light on the molecular mechanism of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of alloxan-derived azomethine ylides to cyclopropenes. The cytotoxic activity of some obtained compounds against human erythroleukemia (K562) cell line was evaluated in vitro by MTS-assay.

Abstract
Abstract3-Aryl-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-ones were synthesized by reduction of 3-aryl-1-methylquinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones with sodium triethylborohydride and studied as precursors of N-acyliminium cations that were expected to be trapped with various alkenes as (4+2)-cycloadducts. Unsubstituted 3-aryl-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-ones in the presence of BF3·Et2O failed to produce the desired cycloadducts probably due to a homooligomerization reaction involving N-acyliminium intermediates. To prevent this side reaction, we found it necessary to introduce substituents at both positions C6 and C8 of the quinazoline ring and C4′ of the 3-phenyl substituent. Utilizing bromine atoms as substituents at C6 and C8, N-acyliminium cations generated from 3-aryl-6,8-dibromo-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-ones in the presence of BF3·Et2O smoothly reacted with such alkenes as indene, acenaphthylene, styrene, α-methylstyrene to give new quinolino[1,2-c]quinazolin-6-one derivatives with high regio- and stereoselectivity. Density functional theory calculations were performed at the M06-2x/cc-pVDZ level to obtain an insight into the mechanism of the (4+2)-cycloaddition reaction of quinazoline-derived N-acyliminium cations to alkenes.

Abstract
A series of heterocyclic compounds containing a spiro-fused pyrrolo[3,4-a]pyrrolizine and tryptanthrin framework have been synthesized and studied as potential antitumor agents. Cytotoxicity of products was screened against human erythroleukemia (K562) and human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cell lines. Among the screened compounds. 4a, 4b and 5a were active against human erythroleukemia (K562) cell line, while 4a and 5a were active against cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cell line. In agreement with the DNA cytometry studies, the tested compounds have achieved significant cell-cycle perturbation with higher accumulation of cells in G2/M phase and induced apoptosis. Using confocal microscopy, we found that with 4a and 5a treatment of HeLa cells, actin filaments disappeared, and granular actin was distributed diffusely in the cytoplasm in 76–91% of cells. We discovered that HeLa cells after treatment with compounds 4a and 5a significantly reduced the number of cells with filopodium-like membrane protrusions (from 63 % in control cells to 29% after treatment) and a decrease in cell motility.

Abstract
Novel heterocyclic compounds containing 3-spiro[3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane]oxindole framework (4a, 4b and 4c) have been studied as potential antitumor agents. The in silico ADMET (adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) analysis was performed on 4a-c compounds with promising antiproliferative activity, previously synthetized and screened against human erythroleukemic cell line K562 tumor cell line. Cytotoxicity of 4a-c against murine fibroblast 3T3 and SV-40 transformed murine fibroblast 3T3-SV40 cell lines were evaluated. The 4a and 4c compounds were cytotoxic against 3T3-SV40 cells in comparison with those of 3T3. In agreement with the DNA cytometry studies, the tested compounds have achieved significant cell-cycle perturbation with higher accumulation of cells in G0/G1 phase. Using confocal microscopy, we found that with 4a and 4c treatment of 3T3 cells, actin filaments disappeared, and granular actin was distributed diffusely in the cytoplasm in 82-97% of cells. The number of 3T3-SV40 cells with stress fibers increased to 7-30% against 2% in control. We discovered that transformed 3T3-SV40 cells after treatment with compounds 4a and 4c significantly reduced the number of cells with filopodium-like membrane protrusions (from 86 % in control cells to 6-18% after treatment), which indirectly suggests a decrease in cell motility. We can conclude that the studied compounds 4a and 4c have a cytostatic effect, which can lead to a decrease in the number of filopodium-like membrane protrusions.

Abstract
AbstractThe multi-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of ninhydrin, α-amino acids (or peptides), and cyclopropenes for the synthesis of spirocyclic heterocycles containing both 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane and 2H-indene-1,3-dione motifs has been developed. This method provides easy access to 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2,2′-indenes with complete stereoselectivity and a high degree of atom economy under mild reaction conditions. A broad range of cyclopropenes and α-amino acids have been found to be compatible with the present protocol, which offers an opportunity to create a new library of biologically significant scaffold (3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane). In addition, the сomprehensive study of mechanism of azomethine ylide formation from ninhydrin and sarcosine was performed by means of M11 density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It has been revealed that experimentally observed 1-methylspiro[aziridine-2,2′-indene]-1′,3′-dione is a kinetically controlled product of this reaction and appears to act as a 1,3-dipole precursor. This theoretical study also shed light on the main transformations of the azomethine ylide derived from ninhydrin and sarcosine such as a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to cyclopropene dipolarophiles, a dimerization reaction and a (1+5) electrocyclization reaction. The antitumor activity of some synthesized compounds against cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cell line was evaluated in vitro by MTS-assay.

Abstract
A stereo- and regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the stable ninhydrin-derived azomethine ylide [2-(3,4-dihydro-2 H-pyrrolium-1-yl)-1-oxo-1 H-inden-3-olate, DHPO] to differently substituted cyclopropenes has been established. As a result, an efficient synthetic protocol was developed for the preparation of biologically relevant spiro[cyclopropa[ a]pyrrolizine-2,2'-indene] derivatives. DHPO has proved to be an effective trap for such highly reactive and unstable substrates as parent cyclopropene, 1-methylcyclopropene, 1-phenylcyclopropene, and 1-halo-2-phenylcyclopropenes. It has also been found that 3-nitro-1,2-diphenylcyclopropene undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction in alcohols and thiols to afford 3-alkoxy- and 3-arylthio-substituted 1,2-diphenylcyclopropenes, which can be captured as corresponding 1,3-dipolar cycloadducts in the presence of DHPO. These new approaches provide a straightforward strategy for the synthesis of functionally substituted cyclopropa[ a]pyrrolizine derivatives. The factors governing regio- and stereoselectivity have been revealed by means of quantum mechanical calculations (M11 density functional theory), including previously unreported Nylide- Hcyclopropene second-orbital interactions. The outcome of this work contributes to the study of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, as well as enriches chemistry of cyclopropenes and methods for the construction of polycyclic compounds with cyclopropane fragments.

Abstract
3-Spiro[cyclopropa[a]pyrrolizine]- and 3-spiro[3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane]oxindoles were prepared in moderate to high yields via one-pot three-component reactions using substituted isatins, α-amino acids, and cyclopropenes. The key step is an intramolecular [3 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction of an in situ generated azomethine ylide onto a cyclopropene. Both N-substituted and N-unsubstituted α-amino acids, dipeptide Gly-Gly, and also benzylamine were used as the amine component for the azomethine ylide generation. The anticancer activity of some of the obtained compounds against human leukemia K562 cell line was evaluated by flow cytometry in vitro.

Abstract
The mechanisms triggering most of autoimmune diseases are still obscure. Autoreactive B cells play a crucial role in the development of such pathologies and, in particular, production of autoantibodies of different specificities. The combination of deep-sequencing technology with functional studies of antibodies selected from highly representative immunoglobulin combinatorial libraries may provide unique information on specific features in the repertoires of autoreactive B cells. Here, we have analyzed cross-combinations of the variable regions of human immunoglobulins against the myelin basic protein (MBP) previously selected from a multiple sclerosis (MS)-related scFv phage-display library. On the other hand, we have performed deep sequencing of the sublibraries of scFvs against MBP, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG). Bioinformatics analysis of sequencing data and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) studies have shown that it is the variable fragments of antibody heavy chains that mainly determine both the affinity of antibodies to the parent autoantigen and their cross-reactivity. It is suggested that LMP1-cross-reactive anti-myelin autoantibodies contain heavy chains encoded by certain germline gene segments, which may be a hallmark of the EBV-specific B cell subpopulation involved in MS triggering.

Abstract
The salt-induced peptide formation is important for assessing and approaching schemes of molecular evolution. Here, we present experimental data and an exactly solvable kinetic model describing the linear polymerization of L-glutamic amino acid in water solutions with different concentrations of KCl and NaCl. The length distributions of peptides are well fitted by the model. Strikingly, we find that KCl considerably enhances the peptide yield, while NaCl does not show any catalytic effect in most cases under our experimental conditions. The greater catalytic effect of potassium ions is entirely interpreted by one and single parameter, the polymerization rate constant that depends on the concentration of a given salt in the reaction mixture. We deduce numeric estimates for the rate constant at different concentrations of the ions and show that it is always larger for KCl. This leads to an exponential increase of the potassium- to sodium-catalyzed peptide concentration ratio with length. Our results show that the ion-catalyzed peptides have a higher probability to emerge in excess potassium rather than in sodium-rich water solutions.

Abstract
Prebiotic peptide formation under aqueous conditions in the presence of metal ions is one of the plausible triggers of the emergence of life. The salt-induced peptide formation reaction has been suggested as being prebiotically relevant and was examined for the formation of peptides in NaCl solutions. In previous work we have argued that the first protocell could have emerged in KCl solution. Using HPLC-MS/MS analysis, we found that K+ is more than an order of magnitude more effective in the L-glutamic acid oligomerization with 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole in aqueous solutions than the same concentration of Na+, which is consistent with the diffusion theory calculations. We anticipate that prebiotic peptides could have formed with K+ as the driving force, not Na+, as commonly believed.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a severe inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease with an autoimmune background. Despite the variety of therapeutics available against MS, the development of novel approaches to its treatment is of high importance in modern pharmaceutics. In this study, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in Dark Agouti rats has been treated with immunodominant peptides of the myelin basic protein (MBP) encapsulated in mannosylated small unilamellar vesicles. The results show that liposome-encapsulated MBP46–62 is the most effective in reducing maximal disease score during the first attack, while MBP124–139 and MBP147–170 can completely prevent the development of the exacerbation stage. Both mannosylation of liposomes and encapsulation of peptides are critical for the therapeutic effect, since neither naked peptides nor nonmannosylated liposomes, loaded or empty, have proved effective. The liposome-mediated synergistic effect of the mixture of 3 MBP peptides significantly suppresses the progression of protracted EAE, with the median cumulative disease score being reduced from 22 to 14 points, compared to the placebo group; prevents the production of circulating autoantibodies; down-regulates the synthesis of Th1 cytokines; and induces the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the central nervous system. Thus, the proposed formulation ameliorates EAE, providing for a less severe first attack and rapid recovery from exacerbation, and offers a promising therapeutic modality in MS treatment.—Belogurov, A.
