NMR structural characterization of oligo-N-substituted glycine lead compounds from a combinatorial library

Molecular Diversity
E K BradleyJ M Blaney

Abstract

Synthesis and screening of combinatorial libraries for pharmaceutical lead discovery is a rapidly expanding field. Oligo-N-substituted glycines (NSGs) were one of the earliest sources of molecular diversity in combinatorial libraries. In one of the first demonstrations of the power of combinatorial chemistry, two NSG trimers, CHIR-2279 and CHIR-4531, were identified as nM ligands for two 7-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors. The NMR characterization of these two lead compounds was undertaken to verify covalent connectivity and to determine solution conformations, if any. The sequential chemical shift assignments were performed using a new strategy for assigning 1H and 13C resonances of NSGs. The conformational preferences were then determined in both an aqueous co-solvent system and an organic solvent to probe the effects of hydrophobic collapse. NSGs are expected to be more flexible than peptides due to the tertiary amide, with both cis and trans amide bond conformations being accessible. Solution NMR studies indicate that although CHIR-2279 and CHIR-4531 have identical backbones and termini, and very similar side chains, they do not display the same solution conformational characteristics.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
