Design of Sensors for Highly Phosphorylated Natural Compounds Design of sensors for highly phosphorylated natural compounds Dissertation Submitted for the Degree Doctor rerum naturalium (Doctor rer. nat.) at the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy University of Freiburg by Rahel Hinkelmann Rheinfelden (Baden) 2020 Vorsitzender des Promotionsausschusses: Prof. Dr. Stefan Weber Dekan: Prof. Dr. O. Einsle Referent/in: Prof. Dr. H. J. Jessen Korreferent/in: Prof. Dr. M. Müller Datum der mündlichen Prüfung: 30.10.2020 Abstract Highly phosphorylated metabolites, e.g. inositol polyphosphates (InsPs), diphospho- inositol phosphates (PP-InsPs), inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) and Magic spot nu- cleotides (MSN) regulate various biological processes. Their distinctive role in biology remain still elusive particularly concerning their dynamic turnover. The investigation of their contributions in metabolic processes asks for the development of, in vivo and in vitro, real time analytical detection. In this work the design, synthesis and evaluation of a set of new fluorescent chemosen- sors is presented, since inositol polyphosphates and polyP are lacking an intrinsic chro- mophore. The synthesized chemosensors can be divided into the following three cate- gories - Pyrene-excimer based, disassembly approach and DAPI derivatives. A 4’,6-diamidin-2-phenylindol (DAPI) synthesis was developed in this work. The photo- physical properties of the respective set of synthesized chemosensors in combination with the above mentioned phosphorylated metabolites was evaluated. Fe3+-Salen and PyDPA was successfully used as a polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) stain and the latter dye was applied as a post-column staining reagent for Ins(1,2,3,4,5,6)-hexakisphosphate (InsP6) on an ion chromatography system. In addition, the investigation and appli- cation of a new 31P-NMR based method using a chiral solvating agent revealed the stereoselectivity of the first described naturally occurring 1-phytase. Zusammenfassung Hoch phosphorylierte Metabolite, z.B InsPs, PP-InsPs, polyP und MSN regulieren ver- schiedene biologische Prozesse. Ihre besondere Rolle in der Biologie ist jedoch nach wie vor unklar, insbesondere was ihren dynamischen Umsatz betrifft. Die Untersuchung ihrer Beiträge zu Stoffwechselprozessen erfordert die Entwicklung einer in vivo und in vitro Echtzeitdetektion. In dieser Arbeit wird das Design, die Synthese und die Auswertung einer Reihe neuer fluoreszierender Chemosensoren vorgestellt. Die synthetisierten Chemosensoren können in die folgenden drei Kategorien unterteilt werden - Pyren-Excimer-basiert, «disassembly approach»und DAPI-Derivate. In dieser Arbeit wurde eine DAPI Synthese entwickelt. Die photophysikalischen Eigen- schaften des jeweiligen Sets der synthetisierten Chemosensoren in Kombination mit den oben genannten phosphorylierten Metabolite wurden diskutiert. Salen-Fe3+ und PyDPA wurden erfolgreich als PAGE-Färbung verwendet, und der letztgenannte Farbstoff konn- te als Nachsäulen-Färbereagenz für InsP6 auf einem Ionenchromatographiesystem ange- wendet werden. Darüber hinaus ergab die Anwendung eines neuen 31P-NMR basierten Verfahrens unter Verwendung eines chiralen Solvatisierungsmittels die Stereoselektivität der ersten beschriebenen natürlich vorkommenden 1-Phytase.

SYNTHESIS OF AZA-HETEROCYCLIC MONOAMIDINES AS POTENTIAL DNA MINOR GROOVE BINDERS, ANTI-TRYPANOSOMALS, AND BORON NEUTRON CAPTURE THERAPY AGENTS by JULIUS GREEN I Under the Direction of David W. Boykin ABSTRACT A series of combilexin-like monoamidines has been synthesized by linking an intercala- tive unit with the DNA minor groove binder DB 818 via “Click chemistry.” DB 818 is a dicationic minor groove binder that has shown strong binding affinity to AT sequences. The aim was to synthesize novel classes of DNA minor groove binders that are combilexin-like – minor groove binder / intercalator hybrid – as potential unique DNA binding agents and therapeutics against African Sleeping Sickness. Additionally, a series of novel benzo[d]1,3,2-diazaboroles DAPI derivatives were also synthesized and investigated. These boron compounds have the po- tential to be strong DNA minor groove binders because of their lower pK a and act as potential chromophores for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy.

Curran, Department of Chemistry Professor Paul E. Floreancig, Department of Chemistry Professor Billy W. Day, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences Dissertation Advisor: Professor Peter Wipf, Department of Chemistry ii Copyright © by Adam Thomas Hoye 2010 iii Synthesis of Natural and Non-Natural Polycylic Alkaloids Adam T. Hoye, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2010 Part one of this dissertation describes the synthesis of novel polycyclic natural product- like compounds from dicyclopropylmethylamine starting materials. Using methodology previously developed in our group, products from the initial one-pot multicomponent reaction via the rearrangement of a bicyclo[1.1.0]butane intermediate were successfully transformed into polycyclic systems. These small, medium and large heterocycles mimic complex alkaloids found in nature, and were further elaborated to incorporate additional functionalities. Part two describes our investigation into the parvistemonine class of Stemona alkaloids. We developed a unified strategy to target several related Stemona natural products. A [3,3]- sigmatropic rearrangement was used to relay key stereochemical information across the characteristic pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine core of these molecules and install contiguous stereocenters in a controlled fashion. This approach produced advanced intermediates towards the syntheses of parvistemonine and sessilifoliamides B and D, and culminated in the first enantioselective total syntheses of sessilifoliamide C and 8-epi-stemoamide.

    Development of fluorescent ligands for A1 adenosine receptor and cannabinoid receptors A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand Sameek Singh July 2018 Abstract Adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR), cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R) and cannabinoid type 2 receptor (CB2R) are class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and play important roles in human pathophysiological conditions such as cardiovascular, neurological, metabolic and immunological disorders. Fluorescent ligands are powerful tools to investigate processes such as receptor expression, localisation, trafficking and receptor-protein interactions in the native cell environment. Fluorescent ligands can also be used as tracers in pharmacological assays, instead of the commonly used radioligands that carry inherent safety risks. The development of fluorescent ligands with high affinity, selectivity and suitable imaging properties for A1AR, CB1R and CB2R would greatly contribute to an increased understanding of receptor biology and thus facilitate the drug development process. Development of fluorescent ligands with sufficient polarity for cannabinoid receptors (CBRs), which have lipid-based endogenous ligands, is an especially challenging task. This thesis describes the development of small molecule- based fluorescent ligands for A1AR, CB1R and CB2R, via attachment of a linker and fluorophore to a ligand. (Benzimidazolyl)isoquinolinols, analogues of previously reported high affinity A1AR (benzimidazolyl)isoquinolines, were explored in chapter 2 for the development of A1AR fluorescent ligands. A procedure for 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) mediated aromatisation of tetrahydroisoquinolines and multistep synthesis for the preparation of (benzimidazolyl)isoquinolinols was developed. Based on the previously reported structure–activity relationship (SAR), linkers (and linker plus fluorophore conjugates) were introduced in the C-6 or C-7 position of (benzimidazolyl)isoquinolinols.
