It is a long list. From my parents who raised me to always ask questions, strive for knowledge, and work hard for the things I cared about, to all those who have taught me along my academic progression; I am here because of you. So thank you, for taking the time to help me learn and grow. Special thanks are due to the following people for helping me along my way in this project: • Dr. Adam Renslo and Dr. James Wells: for being excellent P.I.’s and steering me towards success in so many ways. • Dr. Michelle Arkin and Dr. Martin McMahon for their excellent input and advice as members of my thesis committee. • Dr. Shaun Fontaine: for sharing intermediates, many useful discussions of chemistry, and being an all-around great guy. • Dr. Charles Morgan: for many useful discussions and contributing towards the cell culture work presented in Chapter 2 by assisting in the development of the high-throughput immunofluorescence assay, help with qRT-PCR, and preforming knock-downs and over-expressions for studies of the reactive iron pool. • Dr. Byron Hann and the preclinical therapeutics core at UCSF: for their assistance planning and executing all of the mouse studies presented here. iii • Dr. Samantha Zeitlin: for helping me remember how to do cell culture when I started. • Mr. Steven Chen: for assistance with automated imaging and image analysis • Dr. Yihui Shi: for preforming the toxicity experiments across a panel of the NCI 60 cell lines presented in Chapter 3. • Dr. Tetsuya Matsuguchi for assistance with qRT-PCR experiments. • Dr. Alan Wolfe for the calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters. Aspects of Chapter 2 were adapted from a manuscript currently under review with Nature Chemical Biology: Spangler, B. et al., A reactivity-based probe of the intracellular labile ferrous iron pool. Manuscript submitted for publication. (2015). Aspects of Chapter 3 were adapted from a manuscript in preparation. Spangler, B. et al., Leveraging the reactive iron pool for selective drug delivery in cancer. Manuscript in preparation. (2015). The work presented in Chapter 4 was done in collaboration with Sutro Biopharma (Toni Kline, Xiaofan Li, Jeff Hanson, Sihong Zhou, Krishna Bajjuri, Gang Yin, Alexander Steiner, and Aaron Sato) which provided materials for chemistry and preformed all antibody conjugations and cell culture experiments. This manuscript is dedicated to my amazing fiancée Naomi Yonis who has somehow managed to handle the stresses of these last few months while taking care of me as I have floundered my way through completing a PhD. I could not have done it without you. iv Exploring the Dysregulation of Iron Metabolism in Cancer: Leveraging Fenton Chemistry for Selective Drug Delivery Benjamin Spangler Abstract Most cancer chemotherapeutics are administered at or near their maximum tolerated dose, yet poor efficacy and insufficient therapeutic index remain major causes of attrition in oncology drug development. New pharmacological approaches that selectively target tumor cells are therefore of significant interest. Emerging evidence suggests that an augmented pool of intracellular labile Fe(II) is a metabolic signature of many cancers and thus may represent a targetable chemical environment. We have leveraged Fe(II)-dependent, Fenton-type reactivity of the 1,2,4-trioxolane ring to develop highly selective, reactivity-based probes of the ferrous iron pool and a prototypical scaffold for Fe(II)-dependent drug delivery of chemotherapeutics. These probes reveal higher reactive Fe(II)-pools in cancer cells as compared to non-tumorigenic cells, changes that can be linked to alteration of iron metabolism. Our findings suggest that many cancers alter iron metabolism to increase intracellular Fe(II)-pools and these changes can be exploited for cell- v selective drug delivery. By using this scaffold to mask a highly potent DNA-alkylator we illustrate that this prodrug system is capable of stabilizing and selectively delivering such potent cytotoxins in vivo. Overall our results establish that Fe(II)- dependent prodrug/delivery strategies can be used to enhance the therapeutic index of cancer chemotherapeutics. Encouraged by these results further efforts were made to apply trioxolane-based systems as novel, tumor-selective cleavable linkers for antibody-drug conjugate strategies. Preliminary results indicate trioxolane-based linkers are capable of efficiently releasing drugs from ADC’s in cancer cells but optimization will be required before further development. vi Short-hand and abbreviations used in this text: ADC: antibody-drug conjugate BCN: bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne BME: β-mercaptoethanol Bpy: bipyridy CBI: cyclopropylbenzindoline CMB: combretastatin CTG: CellTiter-Glo® DBCO: Dibenzocyclooctyl DCM: dichloromethane DFO: desferrioxamine DMS: dimethylsulfide FAC: ferric ammonium citrate FAS: ferrous ammonium sulfate GSH: glutathione hTf: holo-transferrin IRE: iron responsive element MMAE/F: Monomethyl auristatin E/F MOA: mechanism of action NAC: N-acetyl cysteine PK: pharmacokinetics Puro: puromycin ROS: reactive oxygen species TAP: tumor-activated prodrug TEA: trimethylamine TPP: triphenylphosphine Trx: 1,2,4-trioxolane UTR: untranslated region vii Table of Contents Dedications and Acknowledgements ............................................................................................. iii Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................... v Short-hand and abbreviations used in this text: ...................................................................... vii Table of Contents ................................................................................................................................ viii List of Figures, Schemes, and Tables ............................................................................................... x Chapter 1: Iron Metabolism and Cancer ........................................................................................ 1 Regulation of iron metabolism in mammalian cells ............................................................. 1 Dysregulation of iron metabolism in cancer cells ................................................................. 5 Currently available tools to study the labile iron pool ........................................................ 7 Chapter 2: Development of trioxolane-derived reactivity-based probes of the reactive iron(II) pool. ......................................................................................................................... 11 Sterically hindered endoperoxides .......................................................................................... 11 Synthesis of a trioxolane-based probe for intracellular reactive Fe(II) .................... 21 Validation of trioxolane-conjugates as reactivity-based probes of the intracellular labile Fe(II) pool .............................................................................................................................. 25 Profiling cell-type specific changes the labile pool of ferrous iron ............................. 31 Understanding the consequences of iron-metabolism dysregulation on the presence of intracellular reactive Fe(II)-species: ............................................................... 34 Genetic Alterations to the Labile Fe(II) pool ........................................................................ 35 In vivo applications of trioxolane-derived, reactivity-based probes of the labile Fe(II) pool in a PC-3 tumor xenograft model ....................................................................... 39 Discussion .......................................................................................................................................... 41 Chapter 3: Leveraging the dysregulation of iron-metabolism in cancer as a trigger for selective drug delivery ................................................................................................................ 44 Selective drug release strategies in cancer ........................................................................... 45 Trioxolane-mediated delivery of cytotoxic agents to cancer cells ............................... 49 Profiling the effects of oncogenic transformation on iron metabolism and sensitivity to trioxolane-conjugates ........................................................................................ 52 Development of trioxolane-conjugates of highly potent DNA alkylators ................. 54 Pharmacokinetics and safety of trioxolane-drug conjugates ......................................... 57 viii Studying the fate of the cyclohexenone byproduct ...........................................................

  • Radical Approaches to Alangium and Mitragyna Alkaloids
    Radical Approaches to Alangium and Mitragyna Alkaloids A Thesis Submitted for a PhD University of York Department of Chemistry 2010 Matthew James Palframan Abstract The work presented in this thesis has focused on the development of novel and concise syntheses of Alangium and Mitragyna alkaloids, and especial approaches towards (±)-protoemetinol (a), which is a key precursor of a range of Alangium alkaloids such as psychotrine (b) and deoxytubulosine (c). The approaches include the use of a key radical cyclisation to form the tri-cyclic core. O O O N N N O O O H H H H H H O N NH N Protoemetinol OH HO a Psychotrine Deoxytubulosine b c Chapter 1 gives a general overview of radical chemistry and it focuses on the application of radical intermolecular and intramolecular reactions in synthesis. Consideration is given to the mediator of radical reactions from the classic organotin reagents, to more recently developed alternative hydrides. An overview of previous synthetic approaches to a range of Alangium and Mitragyna alkaloids is then explored. Chapter 2 follows on from previous work within our group, involving the use of phosphorus hydride radical addition reactions, to alkenes or dienes, followed by a subsequent Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. It was expected that the tri-cyclic core of the Alangium alkaloids could be prepared by cyclisation of a 1,7-diene, using a phosphorus hydride to afford the phosphonate or phosphonothioate, however this approach was unsuccessful and it highlighted some limitations of the methodology. Chapter 3 explores the radical and ionic chemistry of a range of silanes.

  • Synthesis and Kinetics of Novel Ionic Liquid Soluble Hydrogen Atom Transfer Reagents
    Synthesis and kinetics of novel ionic liquid soluble hydrogen atom transfer reagents Thomas William Garrard Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 School of Chemistry The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper ORCID: 0000-0002-2987-0937 Abstract The use of radical methodologies has been greatly developed in the last 50 years, and in an effort to continue this progress, the reactivity of radical reactions in greener alternative solvents is desired. The work herein describes the synthesis of novel hydrogen atom transfer reagents for use in radical chemistry, along with a comparison of rate constants and Arrhenius parameters. Two tertiary thiol-based hydrogen atom transfer reagents, 3-(6-mercapto-6-methylheptyl)-1,2- dimethyl-3H-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate and 2-methyl-7-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)heptane-2-thiol, have been synthesised. These are modelled on traditional thiol reagents, with a six-carbon chain with an imidazole ring on one end and tertiary thiol on the other. 3-(6-mercapto-6-methylheptyl)- 1,2-dimethyl-3H-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate comprises of a charged imidazolium ring, while 2- methyl-7-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)heptane-2-thiol has an uncharged imidazole ring in order to probe the impact of salt formation on radical kinetics. The key step in the synthesis was addition of thioacetic acid across an alkene to generate a tertiary thioester, before deprotection with either LiAlH4 or aqueous NH3. Arrhenius plots were generated to give information on rate constants for H-atom transfer to a primary alkyl radical, the 5-hexenyl radical, in ethylmethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide.

Mumma Goddard Space Flight Center Kenneth Fox University of Tennessee John Hornstein Computer Sciences Corporation Proceedings of a workshop held at Annapolis, Maryland March 17-19, 1980 N/_A NationalAeronautics and SpaceAdministration ScientificandTechnical InformationBranch 1982 PREFACE In the last part of the 1970's we experienced a dramatic and exciting explosion of our knowledge about the other planets in our Solar System as NASA's Pioneer, Voyager and Viking spacecraft swept past Jupiter and Saturn, orbited Venus and Mars, and entered the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. For the first time we obtained comprehensive information on the composition and dynamics of these varied atmospheres. New observations resulted in new demands for supporting laboratory studies. Data were needed for a variety of molecular species to better understand the spectra observed from the spacecraft, to interpret atmospheric structure measurements, to aid in greenhouse and cloud physics calculations, and to plan the next generation of experiments which would build upon the findings of this generation of exploration. It was in this exciting and hopeful atmosphere that some 75 physicists, chemists and planetary astronomers gathered in Annapolis to exchange their current findings and identify their needs as individuals and as a group. The interaction was fruitful. New ideas were spawned and our knowledge of the structure of things large and small, of planets and of molecules, was expanded.
