Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic chemistry, and more particularly to a method for synthesizing a thiol-reactive nucleotide derivative. Background Technology

[0002] Bacterial pathogens cause millions of deaths globally each year. However, antibiotic development struggles to address the ever-emerging resistance. Therefore, understanding the molecular basis of bacterial infection is crucial in combating pathogenic diseases. Against this backdrop, the discovery of a post-translational modification activity—adenylation—of Fic (filamentation induced by cAMP) enzymes has provided new insights into the molecular basis of bacterial infection. Adenylation refers to the covalent attachment of an adenosine monophosphate (AMP) molecule to a hydroxyl-containing amino acid residue (tyrosine, threonine, or serine) on a protein. Pathogenic bacteria release Fic enzymes into the eukaryotic host during infection. Fic enzymes disrupt vital intracellular signaling networks by adenylating key regulatory target proteins. Fic enzymes contain a unique catalytic amino acid sequence motif (Fic motif: HPFx(D / E)GNGR), facilitating their identification through bioinformatics analysis. Consequently, more than 8,000 Fic enzymes are currently known.

[0003] However, protein targets cannot be predicted based on sequence or structural comparisons. Therefore, only a few Fic enzyme targets have been identified to date based on credible inference. Standard methods have proven unsuitable for detecting and identifying AMP-modified proteins from complex proteomes. Therefore, a specific and universally applicable strategy is urgently needed to identify Fic enzyme targets.

[0004] Existing technology has established an activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) system based on TReND (thiol-reactive nucleotide derivatives). This system utilizes the specific introduction of a cysteine ​​mutant into the Fic enzyme, where its thiol group undergoes a nucleophilic reaction with the chloroacetamide group of TReND to form a binary complex, thereby capturing the substrate and forming a low-affinity enzyme-substrate complex. This universal technique will provide a powerful approach for identifying the target proteins of Fic enzymes, potentially becoming fundamental to overcoming bacterial infections.

[0005] However, in the existing publicly available methods for synthesizing TReND (as shown in the formula below), the intermediate KBC-C2 exists in two configurations, α and β, with a ratio of 1:3. Since natural adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is generally β-configured, the intermediate KBC-C2 used to prepare TReND must be β-configured to efficiently generate the final product with the correct configuration.

[0006] TReND, KBC-C2.

[0007] In TReND, n=1, 2 or 3 correspond to TReND1, TReND2 or TReND3 respectively. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for synthesizing KBC-C2 and its thiol-reactive nucleotide derivatives. The method of the present invention can obtain pure β-configuration KBC-C2, thereby facilitating the preparation of pure β-configuration thiol-reactive nucleotide derivatives.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This invention provides a method for preparing KBC-C2, comprising the following steps: The first compound shown in KBC-C1, trimethylsilyl azide, boron trifluoride diethyl ether and the first solvent were mixed and subjected to an azide substitution reaction to obtain the second compound shown in KBC-C2.

[0011] This invention also provides a method for synthesizing a thiol-reactive nucleotide derivative, wherein the thiol-reactive nucleotide derivative has the structure shown in Formula 1: Formula 1; When n is 1 in Equation 1, the synthesis method includes the following steps: Step 1: Prepare the second compound shown in KBC-C2 according to the method described in claim 1 or 2; Step 2: The second compound, sodium methoxide, and the second solvent are mixed and subjected to a deprotection / ester exchange reaction to obtain the third compound shown in KBC-C3; KBC-C3; Step 3: Mix the third compound, the fourth compound shown in KBC-C4, 5-ethylthiotetrazole, tert-butylhydrogen peroxide and the third solvent, and carry out the first coupling-oxidation reaction to obtain the compound shown in KBC-C5A; KBC-C4, KBC-C5A; Step 4: Mix the compound shown in KBC-C5A, piperidine, and the third solvent to carry out the first Fm group removal reaction to obtain the fifth compound shown in KBC-C5; the molar ratio of the third compound and piperidine is 1:1~1.6, and the time of the first Fm group removal reaction is 10~30 min; KBC-C5; Step 5: Mix the fifth compound, the fourth compound shown in KBC-C4, 5-ethylthiotetrazole, tert-butylhydrogen peroxide and the third solvent to carry out the second coupling-oxidation reaction to obtain the compound shown in KBC-C6A; KBC-C6A; Step 6: Mix the compound represented by formula KBC-C6A, piperidine, and the third solvent to carry out the second Fm group removal reaction to obtain the sixth compound represented by KBC-C6; the molar ratio of the fifth compound to piperidine is 1:0.3~0.8, and the time of the second Fm group removal reaction is 10~30 min; KBC-C6; Step 7: Mix the sixth compound, the fourth compound shown in formula KBC-C4, 5-ethylthiotetrazole, tert-butylhydrogen peroxide and the third solvent, and carry out the third coupling-oxidation reaction to obtain the compound shown in KBC-C7A. KBC-C7A; Step 8-1: Mix the compound represented by formula KBC-C7A, piperidine, and the third solvent to carry out the third Fm group removal reaction to obtain the seventh compound represented by KBC-C7; the molar ratio of the sixth compound to piperidine is 1:0.3~0.8, and the time of the third Fm group removal reaction is 10~30 min; KBC-C7; Step 9-1: Mix the seventh compound, the alkynyl chloride shown in formula KBC-C8-1, copper sulfate, sodium ascorbate and the fourth solvent, and perform the first click reaction and the first ion exchange reaction in sequence to obtain the thiol reactive nucleotide derivative; KBC-C8-1; When n is 2 or 3 in Equation 1, replace steps 8-1 and 9-1 with: Step 8-2: Mix the compound represented by formula KBC-C7A, piperidine, and the third solvent, and carry out the fourth Fm group removal reaction to obtain the compound represented by formula KBC-C7B; the molar ratio of the sixth compound and piperidine is 1:0.3~0.8, and the time of the fourth Fm group removal reaction is 5 min; Formula KBC-C7B; Step 9-2: Mix the compound shown in KBC-C7B, the alkynyl chloride shown in KBC-C8-2, copper sulfate, sodium ascorbate and the fourth solvent, and carry out the second click reaction to obtain the tenth compound shown in KBC-C10; KBC-C8-2, KBC-C10; Step 10-2: The tenth compound is subjected to a fifth Fm group removal reaction and a second ion exchange reaction in a third solvent containing triethylamine to obtain the thiol-reactive nucleotide derivative.

[0012] This invention provides a method for preparing KBC-C2. The method uses boron trifluoride diethyl ether as a catalyst to prepare a second compound, KBC-C2, from a first compound, KBC-C1, such that the second compound is β-configured. Then, the second compound is used as a raw material to prepare thiol-reactive nucleotide derivatives, such that the thiol-reactive nucleotide derivatives are also β-configured.

[0013] The present invention also provides a method for synthesizing a thiol-reactive nucleotide derivative.

[0014] The synthesis method provided by this invention has the following advantages: (1) Natural ATP is in the β configuration, therefore the intermediate product in the synthesis must be in the β configuration to efficiently generate the final product with the correct configuration. When KBC-C1 is used as a raw material, different ratios of isomers can be obtained under different conditions: Existing literature reports that using KBC-C1 as a raw material, in TMSN3 (1.1 eq), SnCl4 (1 eq), DCM, 0℃-room temperature, and 12 h of reaction, the ratio of α configuration product to β configuration product is 1:3; while the method of the present invention, using new reaction conditions: TMSN3 (1.1~1.3 eq), BF3Et2O (1.1~1.3 eq), DCM, 0℃-room temperature, 3~5 h, can obtain the pure β configuration product KBC-C2, without the α configuration product. Therefore, the method of the present invention is beneficial for the synthesis of β configuration TReND molecules.

[0015] Second, this invention uses the phosphoramide method to controllably introduce different numbers of phosphate groups. This not only solves the problem of difficulty in introducing monophosphorylation into phosphorus oxychloride; at the same time, this step can obtain mono / di / triphosphorylated intermediates, as well as the final product with a chloroacetamide structure.

[0016] Third, this invention utilizes the phosphorous amide method, allowing the intermediates KBC-C5A, KBC-C6A, and KBC-C7A, containing phosphate groups, to be purified through simple column chromatography. Furthermore, after removing the Fm protecting group with piperidine, the monophosphate intermediate KBC-C5 can be directly purified by precipitation and crystallization to obtain a pure β-configuration solid. While the more polar polyphosphate intermediates KBC-C6 / C7 precipitate as an oil phase, precipitation and washing with a poor solvent (diethyl ether) effectively remove a large amount of organic impurities from the system, significantly improving the purity of the crude product and thus greatly reducing the difficulty of subsequent reversed-phase chromatography separation. Overall, this strategy is simpler and more efficient than traditional methods for separating nucleotide analogs (multiple complex HPLC separation methods). Attached Figure Description

However, if diphosphate (KBC-C6) is present in the reaction, the corresponding triazole will also be obtained; these are difficult to separate during purification. This is why the reaction schemes for TReND2 and TReND3 are modified as follows.

[0068] Example 2: Preparation of TReND2 Steps 1-6 are the same as in Example 1; Steps 7 and 8: KBC-C6 (80 mg, 0.158 mmol) was dissolved in DMF, then ETT (30.85 mg, 0.237 mmol) and KBC-C4 (99 mg, 0.189 mmol) solutions were added, and the mixture was stirred for 45 min. Then, t-BuOOH solution (0.79 mmol) was added at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred again for 45 min. Diethyl ether was then added, and the solid was separated by centrifugation. LC-MS analysis showed the corresponding Fm-protected triphosphate.

[0069] The solid was dissolved in DMF, and piperidine (0.01 mL, 0.1 mmol) was added, with a piperidine to DMF volume ratio of 1:19. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 min, and the reaction was monitored by LC-MS. Dry diethyl ether was added, and the precipitate was separated by centrifugation. The solid was dissolved in water, and the relevant components were concentrated under vacuum at 30 °C using reversed-phase column chromatography on a C18 AQ column. After freeze-drying, a white solid KBC-C7B (42 mg, 31.32%) was obtained.

[0070] The obtained KBC-C7B was characterized by 1H NMR, 1C NMR, and 1NMR spectra, and the results are as follows: Figures 12-14 As shown, the specific information is as follows: LCMS–observed-592.2 (MH) + , calculated as -593.35. 1 H NMR (500 MHz, Deuterium Oxide) δ 7.74 - 7.71 (m, 4H), 7.39 - 7.29(m, 4H), 5.15 (d, J = 2.3 Hz, 1H), 4.27-4.19 (m, 3H), 4.11 (dd, J = 6.0, 4.7Hz, 1H), 4.03 - 3.97 (m, 2H), 3.94 - 3.88 (m, 1H), 3.82 (dd, J = 4.7, 2.4 Hz,1H), 2.99 - 2.94 (m, 10H), 1.60 (p, J = 5.8 Hz, 11H), 1.48 (dd, J = 7.1, 4.5Hz, 5H). 13 C NMR (126 MHz, D2O) δ 144.11, 140.85, 127.90, 127.42, 125.61,119.99, 94.33, 82.25, 82.18, 74.45, 70.03, 67.93, 67.89, 65.61, 65.56, 47.97,47.91, 47.11, 44.42, 22.17, 21.45, 18.23. 31 P NMR (202 MHz, Deuterium Oxide) δ -11.35, -23.07. Step 9: KBC-C7B (40 mg, 0.047 mmol) was dissolved in acetone and water (8:2), and then KBC-C8-2 (10.2 mg, 0.070 mmol), CuSO4 (1.50 mg, 0.0094 mmol), and sodium ascorbate (3.72 mg, 0.0188 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was monitored by LCMS, and the corresponding masses were observed. The reaction was stopped, the solvent was evaporated, and then the desired fraction was concentrated by reversed-phase column chromatography using a C18 AQ column to give KBC-C10-1 (26 mg, 55.63%) as a white solid.

[0071] The obtained KBC-C10-1 was characterized by 1H NMR and 1NMR spectroscopy, and the results are as follows: Figure 15 and Figure 16 The specific information is as follows: 1 H NMR (500 MHz, Methanol-d4) δ 8.34 (s, 1H), 7.80 (t, J = 9.0 Hz, 4H), 7.38 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 2H), 7.30 (t, J = 6.8 Hz, 2H), 6.06 (s, 1H), 4.57 (s, 2H), 4.30 (d, J = 21.8 Hz, 4H), 4.07 (s, 2H), 3.68 - 3.63 (m, 1H), 3.54 (d, J = 6.7Hz, 2H), 3.41 - 3.36 (m, 2H), 3.10 (s, 7H), 2.96 (t, J = 6.3 Hz, 2H), 1.75 (s,7H), 1.65 - 1.62 (m, 4H). 31 P NMR (202 MHz, MeOD) δ -11.18, -22.43. Step 10: KBC-C10-1 (25 mg, 0.025 mmol) was dissolved in triethylamine (0.15 mL) and DMF (0.15 mL), and the reaction was stirred at room temperature, monitored by LC-MS. After the reaction was complete, dry diethyl ether was added, and the precipitate was separated by centrifugation. The solid was dissolved in water, and the fraction was concentrated under vacuum at 30 °C using reversed-phase column chromatography on a C18 AQ column. The fraction was then lyophilized to give a white solid, TReND2 piperidine salt (12 mg).

[0072] 1 H NMR showed a relevant peak, but P31 NMR did not. Therefore, Na + Ion exchange resins convert piperidine salts into sodium salts of the corresponding compounds.

[0073] Dissolve the above-mentioned piperidine salt form of TReND2 (12 mg) in 0.3 mL of water, and add 200 mg of Na. + The resin was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then filtered. The reaction mixture was dehydrated under vacuum and subjected to reversed-phase column chromatography again using a C18 AQ column. The mixture was then freeze-dried to give sodium TReND2 (4.6 mg, 29.36%) as a white solid.

[0074] The obtained TReND2 was subjected to 1H NMR and 1P NMR spectra, and the results are shown in the figure. Figure 17 and Figure 18 The specific information is as follows: LCMS: Observed- m / z- 559 (MH)+, Calculated- m / z-560. 1 H NMR (500 MHz, Deuterium Oxide) δ 8.12 (s, 1H), 6.06 (d, J = 5.2 Hz, 1H), 4.59 (t, J = 5.1 Hz, 1H), 4.47 (t, J = 4.4 Hz, 1H), 4.32 (d, J = 3.5 Hz, 1H), 4.14 (s, 2H), 4.00 (s, 2H), 3.48 (td, J = 6.5, 2.7 Hz, 2H), 2.92 (t, J =6.7 Hz, 2H). 31 P NMR (202 MHz, D2O) δ -10.34, -11.33, -23.00. Example 3: Preparation of TReND3 Steps 1-8 are the same as in Example 2; Step 9: KBC-C7B (100 mg, 0.117 mmol) was dissolved in acetone and water (8:2), and then KBC-C8-3 (28.1 mg, 0.176 mmol), CuSO4 (3.73 mg, 0.0234 mmol), and sodium ascorbate (9.27 mg, 0.0468 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was monitored by LCMS, and the desired mass was observed, and the mass of KBC-C7B also disappeared. The reaction was then stopped, the solvent was evaporated, and the desired fraction was concentrated by reversed-phase column chromatography using a C18 AQ column to give a white solid, KBC-C10-2 (46 mg, 38.98%) in the form of piperidine salt.

[0075] The obtained KBC-C10-2 was characterized by 1H NMR, 1C NMR, and 1P NMR spectra. The results are shown in the figure. Figures 19-21 The specific information is as follows: 11H NMR (500 MHz, Deuterium Oxide) δ 7.78 (s, 1H), 7.70 (dd, J J = 7.6, 3.4 Hz, 2H), 7.61 (dd, J J = 7.6, 3.1 Hz, 2H), 7.32 (td, J J = 7.5, 2.6 Hz, 2H), 7.23 (t, J J = 7.5 Hz, 2H), 5.84 (d, J J = 4.9 Hz, 1H), 4.37 (t, J J = 5.0 Hz, 1H), 4.30 (t, J J = 4.6 Hz, 1H), 4.18 - 4.03 (m, 6H), 3.89 (s, 2H), 3.39 - 3.27 (m, 2H), 3.00 (t, J J = 5.7 Hz, 9H), 2.95 (t, J J = 6.9 Hz, 2H), 2.35 (t, J J = 7.6 Hz, 2H), 1.63 (p, J J = 5.8 Hz, 9H), 1.51 (q, J J = 6.1, 4.3 Hz, 6H). 31 31P NMR (202 MHz, D2O) δ -11.09, -22.71. 13 13C NMR (126 MHz, D2O) δ 169.24, 143.95, 143.92, 140.74, 127.83, 127.28, 127.25, 125.51, 119.93, 92.05, 83.98, 75.16, 70.13, 67.95, 65.06, 47.89, 47.84, 47.15, 46.53, 44.46, 42.16, 39.17, 27.16, 22.18, 21.96, 21.46, 18.24, 8.16. Step 10: KBC-C10-2 (30 mg, 0.0297 mmol) was dissolved in triethylamine (0.15 mL) and DMF (0.15 mL), and the reaction was stirred at room temperature, with the reaction monitored by LC-MS. After the reaction was complete, dry diethyl ether was added, and the precipitate was separated by centrifugation. The solid was dissolved in water, and the desired fraction was concentrated by reversed-phase column chromatography using a C18 AQ column under vacuum at 30 °C. The concentrate was then lyophilized to give a white solid, TReND3 piperidine salt (16 mg).

[0076] 1 H NMR showed relevant peaks, but P31 NMR did not. Therefore, it was decided to use Na. + Ion exchange resins convert piperidine salts into sodium salts of the corresponding compounds.

[0077] Dissolve 16 mg of the above-mentioned white solid TReND3 in piperidine salt form in 0.3 mL of water, then add 200 mg of Na. + The resin was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then filtered. The reaction mixture was dehydrated under vacuum and subjected to reversed-phase column chromatography again using a C18 AQ column.
