Bioactivity substrate

The quantity Aimf on which both transport and receptor binding of a bioactive substrate depend is variable in composition. It depends on the nature of the atoms or groups of atoms which make up the membrane surface or alternatively the receptor surface.

The Pictet-Spengler reaction is one of the key methods for construction of the isoquinoline skeleton, an important heterocyclic motif found in numerous bioactive natural products. This reaction involves the condensation of a P-arylethyl amine 1 with an aldehyde, ketone, or 1,2-dicarbonyl compound 2 to give the corresponding tetrahydroisoquinoline 3. These reactions are generally catalyzed by protic or Lewis acids, although numerous thermally-mediated examples are found in the literature. Aromatic compounds containing electron-donating substituents are the most reactive substrates for this reaction. 

Lipid phosphate phosphohydrolases (LPPs), formerly called type 2 phosphatidate phosphohydrolases (PAP-2), catalyse the dephosphorylation of bioactive phospholipids (phosphatidic acid, ceramide-1-phosphate) and lysophospholipids (lysophosphatidic acid, sphingosine-1-phosphate). The substrate selectivity of individual LPPs is broad in contrast to the related sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphatase. LPPs are characterized by a lack of requirement for Mg2+ and insensitivity to N-ethylmaleimide. Three subtypes (LPP-1, LPP-2, LPP-3) have been identified in mammals. These enzymes have six putative transmembrane domains and three highly conserved domains that are characteristic of a phosphatase superfamily. Whether LPPs cleave extracellular mediators or rather have an influence on intracellular lipid phosphate concentrations is still a matter of debate. 

The biological activity of a compound can often be affected dramatically by the presence of even a single fluorine substituent that is placed in a particular position within the molecule. There are diverse reasons for this, which have been discussed briefly in the preface and introduction of this book. A few illustrative examples of bioactive compounds containing a single fluorine substituent are given in Fig. 3.1. These include what is probably the first example of enhanced bioactivity due to fluorine substitution, that of the corticosteroid 3-1 below wherein Fried discovered, in 1954, that the enhanced acidity of the fluorohydrin enhanced the activity of the compound.1 Also pictured are the antibacterial (3-fluoro amino acid, FA (3-2), which acts as a suicide substrate enzyme inactivator, and the well-known anti-anthrax drug, CIPRO (3-3). 

Domino Michael/aldol addition processes unquestionably represent the largest group of domino transformations. Numerous synthetic applications - for example, in natural product synthesis as well as for the preparation of other bioactive compounds - have been reported. Thus, the procedure is rather flexible and allows the use of many different substrates [12]. In this process it is possible, in theory, to establish up to two new C-C-bonds and three new stereogenic centers in a single step. For example, Collin s group developed a three-component approach. 

It can be assumed that the substrate 2-549 undergoes two elimination steps after lithiation to give 2-552 via 2-550 and 2-551. The last step is an intramolecular substitution affording 2-553, which was further transformed into the desired bioactive compound CMi-977 (also named LDP-977) (2-554). 

The readily available, nonracemic indoloquinolizidine template 471 has been studied as a substrate for the construction of frameworks related to bioactive natural products. The lithiated dithiolane 472 served a dual role in its reaction with 471, both as a nucleophile giving the non-isolated intermediate 473, and, in the same pot, as an electrophile during the quench process. This reaction afforded compound 474 as a single diastereomer <2006TL1961>. 

So far, SAR studies for P-gp have been performed on the basis of classical QSAR principles which were designed for transporters or receptors, which naturally bind one specific substrate from an aqueous environment. The assumptions made are that (i) the modeled conformation is the bioactive one (ii) the binding site and/or mode is the same for all modeled compounds (iii) interactions between the drug and the binding site are mainly due to enthalpic processes (e.g., van der Waals interactions) and (iv) solvent or membrane effects are negligible (cf. Ref. [35]).
