The adoption of compounds that target metalloenzymes comprises a relatively low (5%) percentage of all FDA approved therapeutics. Metalloenzyme inhibitors typically coordinate to the active site metal ions and therefore contain ligands with charged or highly polar functional groups. While these groups may generate highly water-soluble compounds, this functionalization can also limit their pharmacological properties. To overcome this drawback, drug candidates can be formulated as prodrugs. While a variety of protecting groups have been developed, increasing efforts have been devoted towards the use of caging groups that can be removed upon exposure to light to provide spatial and temporal control over the treatment. Among these, the application of Ru(ii) polypyridine complexes is receiving increased attention based on their attractive biological and photophysical properties. Herein, a conjugate consisting of a metalloenzyme inhibitor and a Ru(ii) polypyridine complex as a photo-cage is presented. The conjugate was designed using density functional theory calculations and docking studies. The conjugate is stable in an aqueous solution, but irradiation of the complex with 450 nm light releases the inhibitor within several minutes. As a model system, the biochemical properties were investigated against the endonucleolytic active site of the influenza virus. While showing no inhibition in the dark in anin vitroassay, the conjugate generated inhibition upon light exposure at 450 nm, demonstrating the ability to liberate the metalloenzyme inhibitor. The presented inhibitor-Ru(ii) polypyridine conjugate is an example of computationally-guided drug design for light-activated drug release and may help reveal new avenues for the prodrugging of metalloenzyme inhibitors.

Efficient Boc protection of amines using (Boc)2O in the presence of a catalytic amount of ZrCl4 (10 mol %) in acetonitrile at room temperature is reported with short reaction times and high yields. Efficient Boc protection of amines was carried out using (Boc)2O in the presence of a catalytic amount of ZrCl4 (10 mol %) in acetonitrile at room temperature. The reaction times are very short and the yields are generally high.
Photoredox-catalysed regioselective synthesis of C-4-alkylated pyridines with N -(acyloxy)phthalimides

, p. 1969 - 1973 (2022/03/15)
A method of direct C-4 selective alkylation of pyridines under visible light irradiation at room temperature has been reported, using simple maleate-derived pyridinium salts as pyridine precursors and the readily available carboxylic acid-derived N-(acyloxy)phthalimides as alkyl radical precursors, affording good to excellent yields without using stoichiometric oxidants and acids. A broad range of primary, secondary, and tertiary carboxylates can be used as alkylation reagents. Oxidant and acid-sensitive functional groups can be tolerated well. This journal is
Highly efficient chemoselective N-tert butoxycarbonylation of aliphatic/aromatic/heterocyclic amines using diphenylglycoluril as organocatalyst

, (2020/05/14)
An efficient approach for the Chemoselective N-tert-butoxycarbonylation of a variety of amines using diphenylglycoluril as organocatalyst has been described. For the first time, a plausible mechanism for the N-tert-butoxycarbonylation has been proposed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations supported by NMR studies. The reusability of the organocatalyst and observation of the desired N-Boc protected amines being formed without the formation of side products like urea, oxazolidinone, isocyanate, and N, N-di-Boc derivatives makes the present protocol desirable.
