Abstract
Porphyria is a group of genetic photodermatoses that cause too much porphyrin to accumulate in the blood, skin, and liver, resulting in skin photosensitivity and damage, liver disease, or potential liver failure. Conventional detection methods include high-performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence spectrometry. However, these methods usually require complicated pretreatment and time-consuming processes. Therefore, efficient and fast detection of porphyria is urgently needed. Herein, we develop a molecular afterglow reporter-based sensing scheme for the detection of porphyrins in whole blood. The afterglow reporter can respond to the production of singlet oxygen (1O2) of porphyrins after light excitation, and the detection signals can be amplified through adjusting the amount of singlet oxygen and afterglow reporter molecules. Moreover, without the use of a real-time excitation source, afterglow signals can avoid the scattering and autofluorescence interference in biological samples, thereby reducing background noise. More importantly, we prove the applicability of the afterglow reporter in the quantitative detection of porphyrins in whole blood and demonstrate its great clinical potential.

Significance of Competing Metabolic Pathways for 5F-APINACA Based on Quantitative Kinetics. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25204820. [PMID: 33092129 PMCID: PMC7587938 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25204820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2020] [Revised: 10/13/2020] [Accepted: 10/16/2020] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
In 2020, nearly one-third of new drugs on the global market were synthetic cannabinoids including the drug of abuse N-(1-adamantyl)-1-(5-pentyl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (5F-APINACA, 5F-AKB48). Knowledge of 5F-APINACA metabolism provides a critical mechanistic basis to interpret and predict abuser outcomes. Prior qualitative studies identified which metabolic processes occur but not the order and extent of them and often relied on problematic “semi-quantitative” mass spectroscopic (MS) approaches. We capitalized on 5F-APINACA absorbance for quantitation while leveraging MS to characterize metabolite structures for measuring 5F-APINACA steady-state kinetics. We demonstrated the reliability of absorbance and not MS for inferring metabolite levels. Human liver microsomal reactions yielded eight metabolites by MS but only five by absorbance. Subsequent kinetic studies on primary and secondary metabolites revealed highly efficient mono- and dihydroxylation of the adamantyl group and much less efficient oxidative defluorination at the N-pentyl terminus. Based on regiospecificity and kinetics, we constructed pathways for competing and intersecting steps in 5F-APINACA metabolism. Overall efficiency for adamantyl oxidation was 17-fold higher than that for oxidative defluorination, showing significant bias in metabolic flux and subsequent metabolite profile compositions. Lastly, our analytical approach provides a powerful new strategy to more accurately assess metabolic kinetics for other understudied synthetic cannabinoids possessing the indazole chromophore.

Nano adamantane-conjugated BODIPY for lipase affinity and light driven antibacterial. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2020; 234:118252. [PMID: 32208354 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2020.118252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Revised: 03/07/2020] [Accepted: 03/10/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The increasing number of resistant bacterial strains has raised efforts in developing alternative treatment strategies. Lipase is highly expressed in most bacteria and lipase targeting dyes will be non-sacrificed materials for a sustainable method against microorganism. The combination of chemotherapy and antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI) method will be an effective method due to enhanced antibacterial activity. Here we reported the spectroscopic features of five boron dipyrrolylmethene (BODIPY) derivatives with different functional groups for lipase affinity and antibacterial activity. Lipase affinity tests and antibacterial assays were conducted by spectroscopic methods. Adamantane-conjugated BODIPY (BDP-2) was found to be the active compound against E. coli. Next, BDP-2 was brominated, and then assembled with PEG resulting biocompatible BDP2-Br2@mPEG nanoparticles. The MTT assay indicated that BDP2-Br2@mPEG was less toxicity on BGC-823 cancer cells without irradiation. The BDP2-Br2@mPEG can inhibit the proliferation of E. coli and damage the membrane of bacterial cell under green LED light irradiation. The results proved BDP2-Br2@mPEG can be a very promising green LED light driven antibacterial material.

Exogenous Iron Increases Fasciocidal Activity and Hepatocellular Toxicity of the Synthetic Endoperoxides OZ78 and MT04. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20194880. [PMID: 31581457 PMCID: PMC6801819 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20194880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2019] [Revised: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 09/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
The synthetic peroxides OZ78 and MT04 recently emerged as fasciocidal drug candidates. However, the effect of iron on fasciocidal activity and hepatocellular toxicity of these compounds is unknown. We investigated the in vitro fasciocidal activity and hepatocellular toxicity of OZ78 and MT04 in absence and presence of Fe(II)chloride and hemin, and conducted a toxicological study in mice. Studies were performed in comparison with the antimalarial artesunate (AS), a semisynthetic peroxide. Fasciocidal effects of OZ78 and MT04 were confirmed and enhanced by Fe2+ or hemin. In HepG2 cells, AS reduced cellular ATP and impaired membrane integrity concentration-dependently. In comparison, OZ78 or MT04 were not toxic at 100 µM and reduced the cellular ATP by 13% and 19%, respectively, but were not membrane-toxic at 500 µM. The addition of Fe2+ or hemin increased the toxicity of OZ78 and MT04 significantly. AS inhibited complex I, II, and IV of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, and MT04 impaired complex I and II, whereas OZ78 was not toxic. All three compounds increased cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration-dependently, with a further increase by Fe2+ or hemin. Mice treated orally with up to 800 mg OZ78, or MT04 showed no relevant hepatotoxicity. In conclusion, we confirmed fasciocidal activity of OZ78 and MT04, which was increased by Fe2+ or hemin. OZ78 and MT04 were toxic to HepG2 cells, which was explained by mitochondrial damage associated with ROS generation in the presence of iron. No relevant hepatotoxicity was observed in mice in vivo, possibly due to limited exposure and/or high antioxidative hepatic capacity.

Abstract
For the first time, orthogonally substituted azole-carboxylate adamantane ligands were synthesized and used for preparation of coordination polymers. The angle-shaped ligands were prepared by the reaction of 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid and azoles (1H-1,2,4-triazole, 3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole, 3,5-dimethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole, 1H-tetrazole, 5-methyl-1H-tetrazole) in concentrated sulfuric acid. Variation of the solvent and substituents in azole rings allowed to prepare both 1D and 2D copper(II) and nickel(II) coordination polymers, [Cu2(trzadc)4(H2O)0.7]∙DMF∙0.3H2O, [Cu(trzadc)2(MeOH)]∙MeOH, [Ni(trzadc)2(MeOH)2] and [Cu2(mtrzadc)3(MeOH)]+NO3– (trzadc-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-adamantane-1-carboxylic acid; mtrzadc-3-(3-methyl-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-adamantane-1-carboxylic acid) which were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex [Cu(trzadc)2(MeOH)]∙MeOH was shown to act as a catalyst in the Chan-Evans-Lam arylation reaction.

Abstract
An adamantane-containing zwitterionic copolymer poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine)- co-poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl adamantane-1-carboxylate) (poly(MPC- co-MAda)) was prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The hydrophobic photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) was conjugated to β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) by glutathione (GSH)-sensitive disulfide bonds. The Ce6 conjugated supramolecular prodrug nanocarriers were fabricated due to the host-guest interaction between adamantane and β-CD, which was confirmed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Ce6 conjugated prodrug nanocarriers showed reduction-responsive release of Ce6, which could result in the activation of Ce6. The generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) was significantly enhanced due to the activation of Ce6. In additiona, the Ce6 conjugated prodrug nanocarriers could effectively inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells upon light irradiation.

ASR352, A potent anticancer agent: Synthesis, preliminary SAR, and biological activities against colorectal cancer bulk, 5-fluorouracil/oxaliplatin resistant and stem cells. Eur J Med Chem 2019; 161:456-467.

Abstract
Despite new agent development and short-term benefits in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), metastatic CRC cure rates have not improved due to high rates of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin/oxaliplatin (FOLFOX)-resistance and a clinical therapeutic plateau. At the same time, this treatment regime leads to significant toxicity, cost, and patient inconvenience. Drug-resistance is linked to CRC stem cells, which are associated with the epidermal-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway. Thus, to optimally treat CRC, a therapy that can target the cell survival and EMT pathways in both CRC bulk and stem cell populations is critical. We recently identified a novel small molecule NSC30049 (7a) that is effective alone, and in combination potentiates 5-FU-mediated growth inhibition of CRC bulk, FOLFOX-resistant, and CRC stem cells both in vitro and in vivo models. In the present study, we report the synthesis and anti-CRC evaluation of several stable and effective 7a analogs. ASR352 (7b) was identified as one of the equipotent 7a analogs that inhibited the growth of CRC bulk cells, sensitized FOLFOX-resistant cells, and reduced the sphere formation capacity of CRC stem cells. It appears that the complex mechanism of cytotoxicity for 7b includes abrogation of 5-FU-induced the S phase, reduction of the phosphorylation of Chk1 at S317P, S345P and S296P, increased γH2AX staining, activation of caspase 3/PARP1 cleavage, and enhancement of Bax/Bcl2 ratio. Further 7b-mediated reduced phosphorylation of Chk1 was an indirect effect, since it did not inhibit Chk1 activity in an in vitro kinase assay. Our findings suggest that 7b as a single agent, or in combination with 5-FU can be developed as a therapeutic agent in CRC bulk, FOLFOX-resistant, and CRC stem cell populations for unmanageable metastatic CRC conditions.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is the causative pathogen of genital herpes and is closely associated with the occurrence of cervical cancer and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The absence of an effective vaccine and the emergence of drug resistance to commonly used nucleoside analogs emphasize the urgent need for alternative antivirals against HSV-2. Recently, ABMA [1-adamantyl (5-bromo-2-methoxybenzyl) amine] has been demonstrated to be an inhibitor of several pathogens exploiting host-vesicle transport, which also participates in the HSV-2 lifecycle. Here, we showed that ABMA inhibited HSV-2-induced cytopathic effects and plaque formation with 50% effective concentrations of 1.66 and 1.08 μM, respectively. We also preliminarily demonstrated in a time of compound addition assay that ABMA exerted a dual antiviral mechanism by impairing virus entry, as well as the late stages of the HSV-2 lifecycle. Furthermore, in vivo studies showed that ABMA protected BALB/c mice from intravaginal HSV-2 challenge with an improved survival rate of 50% at 5 mg/kg (8.33% for the untreated virus infected control). Consequently, our study has identified ABMA as an effective inhibitor of HSV-2, both in vitro and in vivo, for the first time and presents an alternative to nucleoside analogs for HSV-2 infection treatment.

Abstract
Organometallic reactions, such as those involving Grignard and organocadmium reagents, are very useful but require prudent laboratory skills. In many papers related to the medicinal chemistry of adamantane derivatives with sigma receptor (σR)-binding affinity and antiproliferative/anticancer activity, organometallics play a crucial role in the synthetic pathways. In this work, the experimental procedures utilizing Grignard and organocadmium reagents are presented in detail, because these techniques are not analyzed and are important in the rational drug design.

7a-(Methoxycarbonyl)-N-methyl-1,3a,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4H-1,4,6-(epiethane[1,1,2]triyl)indene-4,9-dicarboximide has been prepared through a modification of a previous synthetic sequence, in which the benzyloxymethyl hydroxyl protecting group has been replaced by methoxymethyl, to avoid the apparent formation of a benzyl ester derivative as a side product. The overall yield of the new synthetic sequence is comparable to the previous one. Two advantages of the new procedure are: (a) no benzyl ester was formed and (b) a stereoisomeric mixture of syn- and anti-alcohols at the beginning of the synthetic sequence could be separated and the rest of the synthesis could be carried out with the main syn-stereoisomer instead of the corresponding stereoisomeric mixture as it was the case in the previous process. Additionally, several functional 2,8-ethanonoradamantane derivatives have been prepared.

In cold water (T < 26 °C) supramolecular "dumbbell" assemblies, consisting of PNIPAM chains with β-CD/Ad inclusion complexes at each end, formed viaβ-CD-insertion of the terminal Ads through the β-CD secondary face. Light scattering, microcalorimetry (DSC), and DOSY NMR studies indicated that mixed aqueous solutions of β-CD-PEO7 and Ad-PNIPAM-12K undergo a reversible heat-induced phase transition at ∼32 °C, accompanied by a release of a fraction of the Ad-bound β-CD-PEO7 into bulk solution and the formation of aggregated Ad-PNIPAM-12K stabilized by a β-CD-PEO7 shell.

Abstract
A novel guest biomimetic glutathione peroxidase (3,3'-tellurobis(propane-3,1-diyl) diadamantanecarboxylate, denoted as ADA-Te-ADA) was synthesized. ADA-Te-ADA functioned to overcome the disadvantages in the construction of building block for giant supramolecular biomimetic enzyme. To reveal the catalytic property of hydrophobic ADA-Te-ADA, the catalytic mechanism was investigated using PBS (phosphate buffer (pH 7.0. 50 mM))/methanol solvent mixture as assay solution. Itindicated that ADA-Te-ADA exhibited typical enzyme catalytic behavior by saturation kinetics measurement. Importantly, ADA-Te-ADA exhibited the typical solvent-dependent catalytic behavior. And the highest catalytic rate 4.29 µM x min-1 was obtained when the volume ratio of PBs: methanol was 5 : 5. Especially, the catalytic rates obtained based on various substrates proved that ADA-Te-ADA slightly displayed special substrate selectivity, which was the ideal catalytic characterization of building block for giant supramolecular biomimetic enzyme. The successfully synthesis of ADA-Te-ADA might highlight for the understanding of the catalytic mechanism of hydrophobic guest biomimetic glutathione peroxidase. And it also might provide the basement for the construction of giant supramolecular biomimetic enzyme.

The structures of the products were established by elemental analyses, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), (1)H, (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction study. Bond lengths and angles show the usual values. All of three condensed cyclohexane rings of the adamantane residues adopt the usual chair conformation. The molecular conformation of 1 and 2 is stabilized by an intramolecular (NH⋯OC) hydrogen bond which forms a pseudo-six-membered ring. Structural features have been complemented with the joint analysis of the FTIR and FT-Raman spectra along with quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G level.

Abstract
Elevated levels of active glucocorticoids have been implicated in the development of several phenotypes of metabolic syndrome, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) catalyses the intracellular conversion of inactive cortisone to cortisol. Selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors have shown beneficial effects in various conditions, including diabetes, dyslipidemia and obesity. A series of adamantyl ethanone pyridyl derivatives has been identified, providing potent and selective inhibitors of human 11β-HSD1. Lead compounds display low nanomolar inhibition against human and mouse 11β-HSD1 and are selective for this isoform, with no activity against 11β-HSD2 and 17β-HSD1. Structure-activity relationship studies reveal that an unsubstituted pyridine tethered to an adamantyl ethanone motif through an ether or sulfoxide linker provides a suitable pharmacophore for activity. The most potent inhibitors have IC₅₀ values around 34-48 nM against human 11β-HSD1, display reasonable metabolic stability in human liver microsomes, and weak inhibition of key human CYP450 enzymes.

Identification of SQ609 as a lead compound from a library of dipiperidines. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2011; 21:5353-7.

Abstract
We recently reported that compounds created around a dipiperidine scaffold demonstrated activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) (Bogatcheva, E.; Hanrahan, C.; Chen, P.; Gearhart, J.; Sacksteder, K.; Einck, L.; Nacy, C.; Protopopova, M. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett.2010, 20, 201). To optimize the dipiperidine compound series and to select a lead compound to advance into preclinical studies, we evaluated the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of our proprietary libraries. The (piperidin-4-ylmethyl)piperidine scaffold was an essential structural element required for antibacterial activity. Based on SAR, we synthesized a focused library of 313 new dipiperidines to delineate additional structural features responsible for antitubercular activity. Thirty new active compounds with MIC 10-20 μg/ml on Mtb were identified, but none was better than the original hits of this series, SQ609, SQ614, and SQ615. In Mtb-infected macrophages in vitro, SQ609 and SQ614 inhibited more than 90% of intracellular bacterial growth at 4 μg/ml; SQ615 was toxic to these cells. In mice infected with Mtb, weight loss was completely prevented by SQ609, but not SQ614, and SQ609 had a prolonged therapeutic effect, extended by 10-15 days, after cessation of therapy. Based on in vitro and in vivo antitubercular activity, SQ609 was identified as the best-in-class dipiperidine compound in the series.

Abstract
Structure-activity relationships of cycloalkylamide compounds as inhibitors of human sEH were investigated. When the left side of amide function was modified by a variety of cycloalkanes, at least a C6 like cyclohexane was necessary to yield reasonable inhibition potency on the target enzyme. In compounds with a smaller cycloalkane or with a polar group on the left side of amide function, no inhibition was observed. On the other hand, increased hydrophobicity dramatically improved inhibition potency. Especially, a tetrahydronaphthalene (20) effectively increased the potency. When a series of alkyl or aryl derivatives of cycloalkylamide were investigated to continuously optimize the right side of the amide pharmacophore, a benzyl moiety functionalized with a polar group produced highly potent inhibition. A nonsubstituted benzyl, alkyl, aryl, or biaryl structure present on the right side of the cycloalkylamide function induced a big decrease in inhibition potency. Also, the resulting potent cycloalkylamide (32) showed reasonable physical properties.

Abstract
The amino acid and peptide derivatives of 1-adamantane carboxylic acid and rimantadine (18 compounds) have been first synthesized and investigated for their activity against influenza A virus (H1N1, H1N1v). In a series of obtained adamantine derivatives, some compounds have been found to be able to inhibit rimantadine-resistant influenza A virus strains. Thus, the antiviral properties of rimantadine can be restored.

Abstract
Multiproperty lead optimization that satisfies multiple biological endpoints remains a challenge in the pursuit of viable drug candidates. Optimization of a given lead compound to one having a desired set of molecular attributes often involves a lengthy iterative process that utilizes existing information, tests hypotheses, and incorporates new data. Within the context of a data-rich corporate setting, computational tools and predictive models have provided the chemists a means for facilitating and streamlining this iterative design process. This chapter discloses an actual library design scenario for following up a lead compound that inhibits 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) enzyme. The application of computational tools and predictive models in the targeted library design of adamantyl amide 11β-HSD1 inhibitors is described. Specifically, the multiproperty profiling using our proprietary PGVL (Pfizer Global Virtual Library) Hub is discussed in conjunction with the structure-based component of the library design using our in-house docking tool AGDOCK. The docking simulations were based on a piecewise linear potential energy function in combination with an efficient evolutionary programming search engine. The library production protocols and results are also presented.

Abstract
Various inflammatory stimuli that activate the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway converge on a serine/threonine kinase that displays a key role in the activation of NF-κB: the I kappa B kinase β (IKK-β). Therefore, IKK-β is considered an interesting target for combating inflammation and cancer. In our study, we developed a ligand-based pharmacophore model for IKK-β inhibitors. This model was employed to virtually screen commercial databases, giving a focused hit list of candidates. Subsequently, we scored by molecular shape to rank and further prioritized virtual hits by three-dimensional shape-based alignment. One out of ten acquired and biologically tested compounds showed inhibitory activity in the low micromolar range on IKK-β enzymatic activity in vitro and on NF-κB transactivation in intact cells. Compound 8 (2-(1-adamantyl)ethyl 4-[(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)methylamino]benzoate) represents a novel chemical class of IKK-β inhibitors and shows that the presented model is a valid approach for identification and development of new IKK-β ligands.

Abstract
Spiro[piperidine-2,2'-adamantane] 4 is one of the most potent synthetic anti-influenza A aminoadamantanes or other cage structure amines tested so far. Based on previous results Tataridis et al. (2007) [5h] which demonstrate the boost of in vitro potency by the presence of an additional amino group, we examined whether the incorporation of a second amino group into this heterocycle would increase the anti-influenza A virus activity. The new synthetic molecules 5-7 are capable of forming two hydrogen bonds within the receptor. We identified the diamino derivatives 5 and 6, which are active against influenza A H3N2 virus although less potent than amantadine and its equipotent spiropiperidine 4.

Abstract
Platensimycin is the flagship member of a new and growing class of antibiotics with promising antibacterial properties against drug-resistant bacteria. The total syntheses of platensimycin and its congeners, platensimycins B(1) and B(3), platensic acid, methyl platensinoate, platensimide A, homoplatensimide A, and homoplatensimide A methyl ester, are described. The convergent strategy developed toward these target molecules involved construction of their cage-like core followed by attachment of the various side chains through amide bond formation. In addition to a racemic synthesis, two asymmetric routes to the core structure are described: one exploiting a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric cycloisomerization, and another employing a hypervalent iodine-mediated de-aromatizing cyclization of an enantiopure substrate. The final two bonds of the core structure were forged through a samarium diiodide-mediated ketyl radical cyclization and an acid-catalyzed etherification. The rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric reaction involving a terminal acetylene was developed as a general method for the asymmetric cycloisomerization of terminal enynes.

Abstract
An enantioselective synthesis of platensimycin, a novel antibiotic natural product that inhibits bacterial beta-ketoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) synthase (FabF), is described. Our synthetic strategy for the construction of the oxatetracyclic core involved an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction. Our preliminary studies provided a complex tetracyclic product by first undergoing an interesting 1,5-hydride shift followed by a Diels-Alder reaction. Further optimization of the diene's electronic properties, by incorporation of a methoxy group, led to the oxatetracyclic core of platensimycin. The three required chiral centers, including two all-carbon quaternary chiral centers, were built in the intramolecular Diels-Alder step. The synthesis utilized natural (+)-carvone as the key chiral starting material, which determined the stereochemistry of the final product. The synthesis also featured an efficient Petasis olefination, a hydroboration sequence, a Gais's asymmetric Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, and a mercury salt catalyzed enol ether isomerization.

Abstract
Bovine hypothalamic tissue was extracted and purified by solid phase extraction and several reversed-phase HPLC steps. The amino acid sequence of the purified peptide was determined by Edman degradation to be Val-Val-Tyr-Pro-Trp-Thr-Gln. This was confirmed by comparison of its chromatographic behavior with that of the synthetic peptide, and mass spectrometric analysis resulted in a mass identical to the calculated mass for this peptide. This heptapeptide shows homology with residues 32-38 of the beta-chain of bovine hemoglobin. The peptide inhibited the electrically induced contractions of the guinea pig ileum muscle preparation; this inhibition was reversible by naloxone. It also inhibited the binding of 125I-DAMGO (selective for mu receptors) to rat brain with an IC50 of 10 microM and the binding of 3H-DPDPE (selective for sigma receptors) with an IC50 of 185 microM. With two valines at the N-terminus and some opiate activity, valorphin seems a suitable name for this newly isolated peptide.

Abstract
The molecular design, chemical synthesis, and biological evaluation of two distinct series of platensimycin analogues with varying degrees of complexity are described. The first series of compounds probes the biological importance of the benzoic acid subunit of the molecule, while the second series explores the tetracyclic cage domain. The biological data obtained reveal that, while the substituted benzoic acid domain of platensimycin is a highly conserved structural motif within the active compounds with strict functional group requirements, the cage domain of the molecule can tolerate considerable structural modifications without losing biological action. These findings refine our present understanding of the platensimycin pharmacophore and establish certain structure-activity relationships from which the next generation of designed analogues of this new antibiotic may emerge.

Abstract
The self-aggregation of the sodium salt of a new adamantyl amide of the 3beta-amino derivative of cholic acid (Na-AdC) in aqueous solution has been investigated by surface tension, dynamic light scattering, fluorescence, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. These last two techniques suggest that a lamellar phase, consisting of charged bilayers of Na-AdC separated by solvent and periodically stacked, is formed in aqueous solution. The structure of the bilayer is inferred from the resolution of the crystal of the compound in its acid form. The adamantyl moieties, which are mutually interlocked, reside in the central region of the bilayer, and the carboxylic groups are directed toward the hydrophilic region. The structure is open enough to allow water molecules to interact with a fluorescence probe located at the central hydrophobic region.

Abstract
Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a therapeutic target for treating hypertension and inflammation. 1,3-Disubstituted ureas functionalized with an ether group are potent sEH inhibitors. However, their relatively low metabolic stability leads to poor pharmacokinetic properties. To improve their bioavailability, we investigated the effect of incorporating various polar groups on the ether function on the inhibition potencies, physical properties, in vitro metabolic stability, and pharmacokinetic properties. The structure-activity relationship studies showed that a hydrophobic linker between the urea group and the ether function is necessary to keep their potency. In addition, urea-ether inhibitors having a polar group such as diethylene glycol or morpholine significantly improved their physical properties and metabolic stability without any loss of inhibitory potency. Furthermore, improved pharmacokinetic properties in murine and canine models were obtained with the resulting inhibitors. These findings will facilitate the usage of sEH inhibitors in animal models of hypertension and inflammation.

Abstract
A series of N,N'-disubstituted ureas having a conformationally restricted cis- or trans-1,4-cyclohexane alpha to the urea were prepared and tested as soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitors. This series of compounds showed low nanomolar to picomolar activities against recombinant human sEH. Both isomers showed similar potencies, but the trans isomers were more metabolically stable in human hepatic microsomes. Furthermore, these new potent inhibitors show a greater metabolic stability in vivo than previously described sEH inhibitors. We demonstrated that trans-4-[4-(3-adamantan-1-ylureido)cyclohexyloxy]benzoic acid 13g (t-AUCB, IC50 = 1.3 +/- 0.05 nM) had excellent oral bioavailability (98%, n = 2) and blood area under the curve in dogs and was effective in vivo to treat hypotension in lipopolysaccharide challenged murine models.

Abstract
A water-soluble 8-aminoquinolino-beta-cyclodextrin/1-adamantaneacetic acid (1/ADA) system is prepared in situ and exhibits a unique switch-on fluorescence response to Zn(2+) over other common metal ions. Spectrophotometric studies demonstrate that this system can strongly coordinate Zn(2+) through a cyclodextrin/substrate/metal triple recognition mode, and the resulting 1/ADA/Zn(2+) ternary complex emits the blue-green fluorescence (lambda=490nm) that can be easily distinguished by eyes in aqueous solution. Significantly, the switch-on fluorescence response of 1/ADA to Zn(2+) is barely affected by various metal ions except Cu(2+). As a result, this system can behave as an efficient supramolecular fluorescence sensor for Zn(2+) in water.

Abstract
Since the beta-cyclodextrin cavity is not a smooth cone but has constrictions in the neighborhoods of the H3 and H5 atoms, the hypothesis that bulky hydrophobic guests can form two isomeric inclusion complexes (one of them, c(p), is formed by the entrance of the guest by the primary side of the cavity, and the other one, c(s), results from the entrance by the secondary side) is checked. Thus, the inclusion processes of two 1-substituted adamantyl derivatives (rimantidine and adamantylmethanol) with beta-cyclodextrin and its two monoamino derivatives at positions 6 (6-NH2beta-CD) and 3 (3-NH2beta-CD) were studied. From rotating-frame Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy experiments, it was deduced that both guests form c(s) complexes with beta-CD and 6-NH2beta-CD but c(p) complexes with 3-NH2beta-CD. In all cases, the hydrophilic group attached to the adamantyl residue protrudes toward the bulk solvent outside the cyclodextrin cavity. The thermodynamic parameters (free energy, equilibrium constant, enthalpy, and entropy) associated with the inclusion phenomena were measured by isothermal titration calorimetry experiments. From these results, the difference in the free energy for the formation of the two complexes, c(s) and c(p), for the same host/guest system has been estimated as being 11.5 +/- 0.8 kJ mol(-1). This large difference explains why under normal experimental conditions only one of the two complexes (c(s)) is detected. It is also concluded that a hyperboloid of revolution can be a better schematic picture to represent the actual geometry of the cyclodextrin cavities than the usual smooth cone or trapezium.

Abstract
Apoptotic and antiproliferative activities of small heterodimer partner (SHP) nuclear receptor ligand (E)-4-[3'-(1-adamantyl)-4'-hydroxyphenyl]-3-chlorocinnamic acid (3-Cl-AHPC), which was derived from 6-[3'-(1-adamantyl)-4'-hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (AHPN), and several carboxyl isosteric or hydrogen bond-accepting analogues were examined. 3-Cl-AHPC continued to be the most effective apoptotic agent, whereas tetrazole, thiazolidine-2,4-dione, methyldinitrile, hydroxamic acid, boronic acid, 2-oxoaldehyde, and ethyl phosphonic acid hydrogen bond-acceptor analogues were inactive or less efficient inducers of KG-1 acute myeloid leukemia and MDA-MB-231 breast, H292 lung, and DU-145 prostate cancer cell apoptosis. Similarly, 3-Cl-AHPC was the most potent inhibitor of cell proliferation. 4-[3'-(1-adamantyl)-4'-hydroxyphenyl]-3-chlorophenyltetrazole, (2E)-5-{2-[3'-(1-adamantyl)-2-chloro-4'-hydroxy-4-biphenyl]ethenyl}-1H-tetrazole, 5-{4-[3'-(1-adamantyl)-4'-hydroxyphenyl]-3-chlorobenzylidene}thiazolidine-2,4-dione, and (3E)-4-[3'-(1-adamantyl)-2-chloro-4'-hydroxy-4-biphenyl]-2-oxobut-3-enal were very modest inhibitors of KG-1 proliferation. The other analogues were minimal inhibitors. Fragment-based QSAR analyses relating the polar termini with cancer cell growth inhibition revealed that length and van der Waals electrostatic surface potential were the most influential features on activity. 3-Cl-AHPC and the 3-chlorophenyltetrazole and 3-chlorobenzylidenethiazolidine-2,4-dione analogues were also able to inhibit SHP-2 protein-tyrosine phosphatase, which is elevated in some leukemias. 3-Cl-AHPC at 1.0 microM induced human microvascular endothelial cell apoptosis but did not inhibit cell migration or tube formation.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] Reductive alkylation of 5-methoxy-1-tetralone (6) with 2,3-dibromopropene gave an equilibrium mixture of bicyclic diones 7 (51%) and 8 (35%). Radical cyclization of 7 afforded tricyclic dione 5 (84%), which was reduced, cyclized, and dehydrated to give tetracyclic alkene 13 in 63% yield. Allylic oxidation of 13 with SeO2 and activated MnO2 afforded enone 2 in 85% yield, thereby completing a short formal synthesis of (+/-)-platensimycin.
