Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer : a Global Perspective : 食物、栄養、身体活動とがんの予防 : 世界的展望(後篇)

The use of secondary amines as asymmetric catalysts in transformations of carbonyl compounds has seen tremendous development in recent years. Going from sporadic reports of selected reactions, aminocatalysis can now be considered as one of the methods of choice for many asymmetric functionalizations of carbonyl compounds—primarily of aldehydes and ketones. These functionalizations have been published at a breathtaking pace over the last few years—during the “golden age” and “gold rush” of organocatalysis. This tutorial review will firstly sketch the basic developments in organocatalysis, focussing especially on the use of secondary amines as catalysts for the functionalization of aldehydes and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, with emphasis on the mechanisms of the transformations and, secondly, outline recent trends within central areas of this research topic. Lastly, we will present our guesses as to where new developments might take organocatalysis in the years to come.

Organocatalysis--after the gold rush.

Catalysis with chiral secondary amines (asymmetric aminocatalysis) has become a well-established and powerful synthetic tool for the chemo- and enantioselective functionalization of carbonyl compounds. In the last eight years alone, this field has grown at such an extraordinary pace that it is now recognized as an independent area of synthetic chemistry, where the goal is the preparation of any chiral molecule in an efficient, rapid, and stereoselective manner. This has been made possible by the impressive level of scientific competition and high quality research generated in this area. This Review describes this "Asymmetric Aminocatalysis Gold Rush" and charts the milestones in its development. As in all areas of science, progress depends on human effort.

Asymmetric aminocatalysis--gold rush in organic chemistry.

Ageing results from complex genetically and epigenetically programmed processes that are elicited in part by noxious or stressful events that cause programmed cell death Here, we report that administration of spermidine, a natural polyamine whose intracellular concentration declines during human ageing, markedly extended the lifespan of yeast, flies and worms, and human immune cells In addition, spermidine administration potently inhibited oxidative stress in ageing mice In ageing yeast, spermidine treatment triggered epigenetic deacetylation of histone H3 through inhibition of histone acetyltransferases (HAT), suppressing oxidative stress and necrosis Conversely, depletion of endogenous polyamines led to hyperacetylation, generation of reactive oxygen species, early necrotic death and decreased lifespan The altered acetylation status of the chromatin led to significant upregulation of various autophagy-related transcripts, triggering autophagy in yeast, flies, worms and human cells Finally, we found that enhanced autophagy is crucial for polyamine-induced suppression of necrosis and enhanced longevity

Induction of autophagy by spermidine promotes longevity

Catalytic C-C bond-forming multi-component cascade or domino reactions: pushing the boundaries of complexity in asymmetric organocatalysis.

To date, the pharmacotherapy of Alzheimers disease (AD) has relied on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors (AChEIs) and, more recently, an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist. AD is a multifactorial syndrome with several target proteins contributing to its etiology. “Multi-target-directed ligands” (MTDLs) have great potential for treating complex diseases such as AD because they can interact with multiple targets. The design of compounds that can hit more than one specific AD target thus represents an innovative strategy for AD treatment. Tacrine was the first AChEI introduced in therapy. Recent studies have demonstrated its ability to interact with different AD targets. Furthermore, numerous tacrine homo- and heterodimers have been developed with the aim of improving and enlarging its biological profile beyond its ability to act as an AChEI. Several tacrine hybrid derivatives have been designed and synthesized with the same goal. This review will focus on and summarize the last two years of research into the development of tacrine derivatives able to hit AD targets beyond simple AChE inhibition.

Tacrine derivatives and Alzheimer's disease.

Redox impairment is a prominent feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It has led to the “oxidative stress hypothesis”, which proposes antioxidants as beneficial therapeutic tools in AD treatment. To date, a wide variety of antioxidants have been examined as neuroprotectants. However, success has been elusive in clinical trials. Several factors have contributed to this failure, including the complexity of the redox system in vivo. Potentially critical aspects include the fine-tuned equilibrium between antioxidant defenses and free radical production, the lack of specific antioxidant target(s), and the inherent difficulty in delivering antioxidants where they are needed. Herein, we highlight significant progress in the field. Future directions of antioxidant research are also presented.

Oxidative Stress in Alzheimer’s Disease: Are We Connecting the Dots?

It is shown that racemic oxazolones are excellent reagents for the synthesis of chiral quaternary amino acids and its derivatives by the diastereo- and enantioselective nucleophilic addition to alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by diarylprolinol silyl ethers. The scope of this new organocatalytic reaction is demonstrated for different oxazolones having aromatic and alkyl groups at the reactive carbon atom and different aromatic and aliphatic substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes, for which the stereoselective reaction proceeds with good yield, moderate to good to very high diastereoselectivity, and very high enantioselectivity. The potential of the reaction is shown for the synthesis of optically active alpha,alpha-disubstituted alpha-amino acids, alpha-quaternary proline derivatives, amino alcohols, lactams, and tetrahydropyranes. Furthermore, we have calculated by DFT-methods the transition-state structures that account for both the diastereo- and enantioselectivity observed for the addition of oxazolones to the alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes. For one class of compounds, the stereoselectivity is controlled by a hydrogen-bonding interaction of the enolate-form of the oxazolone with an ortho-hydroxy-phenyl substituent of the alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde, whereas the benzhydryl-protecting group in the oxazolone determines the diastereo- and enantioselectivity in a more general manner for both aromatic and aliphatic alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes.

How to make five contiguous stereocenters in one reaction: asymmetric organocatalytic synthesis of pentasubstituted cyclohexanes.

An easy and simple synthetic approach to optically active alpha,alpha-quaternary alpha-amino acids using asymmetric organocatalysis is presented. The addition of oxazolones to nitroalkenes catalyzed by thiourea cinchona derivatives provides the corresponding alpha,alpha-quaternary alpha-amino acid derivatives with good yields, excellent diastereoselectivities (up to 98 % dr), and from moderate to good enantioselectivities (up to 92 % ee). The reaction can be performed on a large scale. The optically active oxazolone-nitroalkene addition products can be opened in a one-pot reaction to the corresponding ester-amide derivatives. Additional transformations are also presented, such as the synthesis of amino esters, amino acids, and transformation into 3,4-disubstituted pyrrolidin-2-ones.
