2. Synthesis of D- and L-tyrosine-chlorambucil analogs active against breast cancer cell lines
Caroline Descôteaux, Valérie Leblanc, Kevin Brasseur, Atul Gupta, Eric Asselin, Gervais Bérubé Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Dec 15;20(24):7388-92. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.10.039. Epub 2010 Oct 21.
A series of D- and L-tyrosine-chlorambucil analogs was synthesized as anticancer drugs for chemotherapy of breast cancer. The novel compounds were synthesized in good yields through efficient modifications of D- and L-tyrosine. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anticancer efficacy in different hormone-dependent and hormone-independent (ER+ and ER-) breast cancer cell lines. The novel analogs showed significant in vitro anticancer activity when compared to chlorambucil. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) reveals both, the influence of the length of the spacer chain and the stereochemistry of the tyrosine moiety. Interestingly, the D- and L-tyrosinol-chlorambucil derivatives with 10 carbon atoms spacer are selective towards MCF-7 (ER+) breast cancer cell line.
3. Construction of a chiral artificial enzyme used for enantioselective catalysis in live cells
Ya Zhou, Weili Wei, Fengchao Cui, Zhengqing Yan, Yuhuan Sun, Jinsong Ren, Xiaogang Qu Chem Sci. 2020 Sep 23;11(41):11344-11350. doi: 10.1039/d0sc03082a.
Nanozymes as a newcomer in the artificial enzyme family have shown several advantages over natural enzymes such as their high stability in harsh environments, facile production on large scale, long storage time, low costs, and higher resistance to biodegradation. However, compared with natural enzymes, it is still a great challenge to design a nanozyme with high selectivity, especially high enantioselectivity. It is highly desirable and demanding to develop chiral nanozymes with high and on-demand enantioselectivity for practical applications. Herein, we present an unprecedented approach to construct chiral artificial peroxidase with ultrahigh enantioselectivity. Inspired by the structure of the natural enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP), we have constructed a series of stereoselective nanozymes (Fe3O4@Poly(AA)) by using the ferromagnetic nanoparticle (Fe3O4 NP) yolk as the catalytic core and amino acid-appended chiral polymer shell as the chiral selector. Among them, Fe3O4@Poly(d-Trp) exhibits the highest enantioselectivity. More intriguingly, their enantioselectivity will be readily reversed by replacing d-Trp with l-Trp. The selectivity factor is up to 5.38, even higher than that of HRP. Kinetic parameters, dialysis experiments, and molecular simulations together with activation energy reveal that the selectivity originates from the d-/l-Trp appended polymer shell, which can result in better affinity and catalytic activity to d-/l-tyrosinol. The artificial peroxidases have been used for asymmetric catalysis to prepare enantiopure d- or l-enantiomers. Besides, by using fluorescent labelled FITC-tyrosinolL and RhB-tyrosinolD, the artificial peroxidases can catalyze green or red fluorescent chiral tyrosinol to selectively label live yeast cells among yeast, S. aureus, E. coli and B. subtilis bacterial cells. This work opens a new avenue for better design of stereoselective artificial enzymes.
