Patent Application
20250228855
The present application provides compounds which are inhibitors of aminoacyl tRNA-synthetase (e.g., prolyl-tRNA-synthetase) and are useful for treating disorders associated with aminoacyl tRNA-synthetase activity and/or expression.
Malaria is an infectious diseases caused by Plasmodium parasites and ranks third among deadly infectious diseases, with over 200 million cases and more than 600,000 deaths per year. The highest burden of disease focused Aon poverty-stricken nations in Asia, South America, and Africa with significant morbidity and mortality. The causative agents of malaria are protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium that are transmitted between humans by mosquitoes. In humans, the parasite evolves through a liver stage, a symptomatic intra-erythrocytic asexual stage, and a sexual blood stage (ABS), which is responsible for malaria transmission.
Current antimalarial drugs are only relevant for the asexual blood stage (ABS) of the Plasmodium parasite in the infected human, restricting their utility to the treatment of acute malaria. Development of antimalarials that are efficacious against the human liver and sexual blood stages provides advantages over the existing drugs by allowing to prevent the onset of symptoms in the infected individual and well as to stop transmission. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS) enzymes, including prolyl-tRNA synthetase (ProRS), are protein targets for such a malaria chemotherapy. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides compounds that are high-affinity ProRS inhibitors. The exemplified compounds advantageously are the first triple-site ligands for aaRS enzymes that simultaneously engage all three substrate-binding pockets, exhibit potent dual-stage activity against Plasmodium parasites, and display good cellular host selectivity. Furthermore, emergence and spread of resistance to currently available antimalarials threatens the ability to treat and contain even acute malaria. Importantly here, the compounds of this disclosure advantageously overcome existing resistance mechanisms providing robust and resistance-proof antimalarial therapies.

Halofuginone is one the most potent known antimalarials and a synthetic derivative of the natural product febrifugine, the curative ingredient of an ancient herbal remedy that has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years for the treatment of fevers and malaria. Structure of halofuginone (1) is shown below:
However, the therapeutic utility of halofuginone and analogs as antimalarials has been stymied by poor tolerability, and the previously unknown mode of action in the host and parasite has impeded rational development of drugs with improved pharmacological properties.
Cytoplasmic prolyl-tRNA synthetase (ProRS) was identified as the molecular target of halofuginone in P. falciparum. ProRS (PfcProRS) is a member of the aaRS enzyme family, which exist in all living cells and catalyze the transfer of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs. However, recent research has also revealed secondary functions of specific aaRS isoforms and tRNAs beyond their canonical role in protein biosynthesis. In addition, halofuginone is also active against liver stage parasites in vitro and in vivo. As to the mode of action of halofuginone in humans, where halofuginone has been studied as chemotherapeutic, antifibrotic, immunomodulatory agent and more recently as antiviral drug, the prolyl-tRNA synthetase activity of the bifunctional glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase (GluProRS) was identified as the mechanistic target. Crystallographic data of the co-complexes with human and Plasmodium ProRS revealed that halofuginone binds the A76-tRNAPro and proline-binding pockets of the active site (
The active site of ProRS comprises three distinct pockets that bind ATP, proline, and the 3′-terminal adenosine residue of tRNAPro (A76), respectively (
Accordingly, the present application provides, inter alia, pyrazine-based compounds that are selective inhibitors of prolyl-tRNA-synthetase (ProRS). As such, the compounds are useful, for example, for treating a disease or disorder in which activity of ProRS is implicated, such as a parasitic infection (e.g., malaria, toxoplasmosis, leishmaniasis, cryptosporidiosis, or coccidiosis), autoimmune disorder, fibrosis, cancer, bacterial infection, fungal infection, or viral infection. Some embodiments of the compounds, methods of their use, methods of their making, as well as the pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and combination treatments are described below.

The active site of ProRS comprises three distinct pockets that bind ATP, proline, and the 3′-terminal adenosine residue of tRNAPro (A76), respectively (
Although no synthetic protocols for compound 2 or analogs have been reported, the compound was prepared via a concise synthetic strategy starting from 3-aminopyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (see Example 2). The activity of compound 2 against asexual blood stage P. falciparum, which displayed good activity (EC50=595 nM) against Dd2-2D4 wildtype parasites. Importantly, compound 2 did not show meaningful cross-resistance in halofuginone-induced parasites (EC50=1.25 μM) and HFGR-I parasites (EC50=736 nM), which, in addition to elevated proline, also feature the PfcProRSL482H mutation that renders them ˜400-fold less sensitive to halofuginone (
The co-crystal structure of NCP26 (
Next, the compounds were prepared that are inhibitors (e.g., dual- and triple-site inhibitors) of ProRS that extend to the proline- and tRNAPro A76-binding pockets, mimicking ProSA (25) or the halofuginone/ATP complex, respectively. These compounds bind to ProSA with high affinity.
Analysis of the co-crystal structure of halofuginone and ATP with ProRS illustrates the molecular basis of halofuginone's ATP-uncompetitive binding mode. The ketone and hydroxyl-group of halofuginone form two well-defined hydrogen bonds with the α-phosphate of ATP, furnishing the intrinsic inhibitory complex in these ProRS ligand structures (
A compound was designed where various moieties of the compound occupy all three ProRS binding sites, becoming a true triple-site inhibitor. Compound 33 was prepared as a “hybrid” of halofuginone and adenosine that joined via a sulfamoylcarbamate, analogous to ProSA (
Compound 33 was prone to fragmentation by intramolecular cyclization to N3,5′-cycloadenosine, which has been observed previously for aminoacyl-sulfamoyl-adenosine (aaSA) analogs, and the 2-position of the hydroxypiperidine was susceptible to epimerization to iso-33 during purification, which was previously observed with halofuginone (
Pyrazinamide-halofuginone hybrids were prepared exploring three different linker-elements, while retaining the sulfamidylcarbamate as an acylphosphate isostere. Compound MAT436 (34) fitted well in the substrate binding pocket in the modeling studies:
Linker homologs 35 and 36 were prepared (
All compounds exhibited very high affinity for PfcProRS and HsProRS in the absence of ATP. As predicted, MAT436 was the highest affinity ligand and displayed exceptional affinity for PfcProRS (KD=375 pM, >104-fold compared to halofuginone in the absence of ATP), while compounds 35 (KD=680 pM) and 36 (KD=821 pM) were only marginally less potent (
To provide further support for the predicted binding modes, MAT436 was co-crystallized with PfcProRS and the structure solved to 2.51 Å resolution (PDB: 7QC1 and
Activity of the pyrazinamide-halofuginone hybrids against ABS P. falciparum was determined. Importantly, the exquisite potency of 35, 36, and MAT436 translated well to cell-based assays.
All three compounds inhibited P. falciparum ABS growth at low nanomolar concentrations with comparable potencies (MAT436, EC50=6.8 nM; 35, EC50=18.7 nM; 36, EC50=18.7 nM).
BOC-protected compounds 37, 38, and 39 were prepared:
These compounds, while active, were less active than non-BOC protected counterparts (>1 μM) (
Urea and Thiourea-Containing Compounds were Also Prepared (Rim Targeting Ligands):
MAT515 had high affinity for PfcProRS (KD=70.4 nM) at the cost of increased affinity for HsProRS (KD=169 nM) whereas MAT518, had reduced affinity for both paralogs while retaining ˜7-fold selectivity for PfcProRS (KD=372 nM) compared to HsProRS (KD=2.76 μM). The compounds provide evidence that the active site rim is rationally engaged to provide for improved paralog-specificity.
A series of sulfamoylcarbamate-linked hybrids was prepared connecting the pyrazinamide analog MAT336 with both enantiomers of 3-hydroxypiperidine and both enantiomers of prolinol:
These compounds were then profiled in the TR-FRET assay and parasite growth. The compounds had affinity for PfcProRS in the absence of proline (MAT445 KD=1.11 μM and MAT447 KD=2.46 μM) or presence of 100 μM proline (MAT445 KD=966 nM and MAT447 KD=2.45 μM). Consistent with the biochemical activity these compounds were active in wildtype ABS P. falciparum Dd2-2D4 (MAT445 EC50=1.16 μM and MAT447 EC50=6.25 μM) and less active (EC50>10 μM) in both halofuginone-induced and HFGR-I parasites. The minimal difference between stereoisomers is consistent with the notion that these compounds bind with the 3-hydroxypiperidine moiety pointed towards the active site rim rather than the proline-binding site but may also reflect the fact the high degree of conformational flexibility of piperidine rings arising from their reduced axial strain relative to analogous cyclohexyl rings. The prolinol hybrids had affinity for PfcProRS in the absence of proline (MAT457 KD=152 nM and MAT459 KD=736 nM) and in the presence of 100 μM proline (MAT445 KD=118 nM and MAT447 KD=552 nM). They were also selective for HsProRS in the absence of proline (MAT457 KD=9.71 nM and MAT459 KD=105 nM) and in the presence of 100 μM proline (MAT457 KD=16.3 nM and MAT459 KD=245 nM). As with the 3-hydroxypiperidine hybrids, the prolinol hybrids were active in wildtype ABS P. falciparum Dd2-2D4 (MAT457 EC50=968 nM and MAT459 EC50=4.62 μM) and both were less active (EC50>10 μM) in both halofuginone-induced and HFGR-I parasites. However, the prolinol hybrids had a much greater difference between the stereoisomers which may indicate they bind in the proline-pocket and/or reflect the increased conformational rigidity of the pyrrolidine ring on prolinol relative to the prior series' piperidine ring.
Inhibitors were prepared that retained the triple-site inhibitor's potency without halofuginone cross-resistance or epimerization. Hydroxyethylquinazolinone hybrids were prepared in attempt to directly link the ATP- and tRNA-binding pockets. The compounds were characterized in the TR-FRET assay and MAT513 and MAT514 selectively inhibited PfcProRS (MAT513 KD=20.3 nM and MAT514 KD=35.2 nM) compared to HsProRS (MAT513 KD=157 nM and MAT514 KD=277 nM). Their cellular activity in wildtype and halofuginone resistant parasites was less than expected (for Dd2-2D4, MAT513 IC50=4.83 μM and MAT514 IC50=4.56 μM). MAT511 was active in parasites (Dd2-2D4 IC50=73.9 nM) despite lesser biochemical activity against PfcProRS and HsProRS (KD>10 μM for both), suggesting a different mechanism of action.
Halofuginone and derivatives are active against liver stage Plasmodium parasites. NCP26 and MAT436 were evaluated in a tissue culture-based P. berghei liver stage model. Specifically, various test compounds were added in dose-response to human hepatocytes (HuH7) followed by infection with luciferase-expressing P. berghei ANKA sporozoites, which enabled quantification of parasite load by luminescence. In parallel, host cell viability was also assessed to provide an estimate of cellular selectivity. Both compounds displayed potent antiparasitic activity resulting in complete inhibition of P. berghei growth at submicromolar concentrations (NCP26 EC50=249 nM and MAT436 EC50=186 nM), while showing less pronounced activity in human hepatocytes that suggested host cytostatic activity rather than the cytotoxic activity that is expected at higher concentrations (
Multiple orthogonal classes of PfcProRS inhibitors were developed herein with high affinity for ProRS and potent dual-stage activity against ABS and liver stage Plasmodium parasites. These include a new set of ATP-site directed, proline-uncompetitive inhibitors with low- to sub-nanomolar affinity that overcome halofuginone resistance mechanisms or other forms of rapid drug tolerance. These inhibitors design improve activity of previously reported compound 2, a proline-uncompetitive ligand class for HsProRS. Although most compounds in this series showed moderate biochemical selectivity for HsProRS in the absence and presence of proline, the tested compounds were more selective for Plasmodium in cell-based assays (e.g. NCP26 EC50,Dd2-2D4=67.4 nM and NCP26 EC50,HuH7>2.5 μM).
Ultimately, cell-based selectivity is the more critical metric for drug-development and increased cellular sensitivity of Plasmodium to ProRS inhibition has previously been noted for other ProRS inhibitors including halofuginone. While the higher sensitivity can in part be attributed to the increased sensitivity of rapidly proliferating cells to aaRS inhibition, and potentially favorable differential cellular pharmacokinetics, much of the apparent disconnect between biochemical and cellular selectivity can be explained when considering the differential substrate affinities of the host and parasite ProRS paralogs. The physiological concentration of ATP in human cells (0.5 to 5 mM) and P. falciparum (2.5 mM) are comparable. However, as shown herein, HsProRS binds ATP with much higher affinity and is therefore predicted to exhibit much stronger competition with ATP-site directed ligands, such as NCP26. The relevance of effect has been well-documented for kinase inhibitors, where the disregard for differential KM-values has resulted in misinterpretation of cellular activities.
In addition, PfcProRS inhibition was validated as the primary mode of action of NCP26 by a combination of in vitro resistance selection studies and whole genome sequence analysis. Although the evolution of resistance in response to drug treatment is never desirable, only very few antimalarials fail to induce in vitro resistance and recent guidelines have been developed to assess the risk for new candidates. Compared to other drug-target combinations, NCP26 exhibited a very low propensity to induce resistance, requiring a large population size and long timeframe for resistance to arise (>50 generations). These findings are encouraging and demonstrate that the rapid resistance in response to PfcProRS inhibition, as observed with halofuginone, is likely an inhibitor-class specific issue.
Moreover, by combining features of halofuginone with adenosine or NCP26, the first examples of true triple-site ProRS inhibitors were made herein, i.e., ligands that meaningfully occupy all three substrate-binding pockets of the active site simultaneously. Triple-site aaRS inhibitors have been postulated previously, but have remained elusive. ThrRS ligands, such as borrelidin and analogs, which are triple-competitive and bind the amino acid and tRNA sites of ThrRS in addition to an auxiliary site, have been reported. However, no triple-site aaRS inhibitors that target all substrate pockets have been reported to date. Co-crystal structure of MAT436 and PfcProRS herein confirms the predicted binding mode. The triple-site compounds bound both ProRS paralogs with subnanomolar affinity in the absence of either substrate (proline or ATP). Their high biochemical affinity translated well into antiparasitic activity against both ABS and liver stage Plasmodium parasites. High selectivity for Plasmodium parasites was observed over human cells in the cell-based assays. While the molecular mass of these triple-site inhibitors exceeds the canonical “rule of five” cut-off of 500 Da, consensus based on the analysis of approved drugs agrees that this limit has been overly stringent and suggest that the size of the hybrid ligands to be well within an acceptable range.
Preliminary Docking Studies: While the inhibitor classes were all rationally designed, preliminary docking studies were done to guide in the prioritization of which analogs to synthesize first. These studies were conducted in Spark™ v10.5.0, Forge™ v10.5.0, and Flare™ v4.0.2 (Cresset Biomolecular Discovery Ltd) per the manufacturer's instructions in their respective user guides. Ligands were docked against the ProRS structures reported here (PDB 6T7K, 7QB7, 7QC1, and 7QC2) and previously (for HsProRS, PDB: 5VAD, 4HVC, 4K86, 4K87, 4K88, and 5V58; for PfcProRS, PDB 4Q15, 4NCX, 4YDQ, 40LF, 5IFU, and 4WI1). Protein preparation was accomplished using default settings and the pharmacophore constraints were automatically generated and used without modification. Conformation hunts were done with “very accurate but slow” setting modified to allow rotation about acyclic secondary amide bonds. Alignments were performed using both “normal” (unbiased) and “substructure” (guided by ligands from crystal structures) settings. No model building was used to guide chemical synthesis.
Crystallization, data collection and structure determination: PfcProRS was co-crystallized with NCP26 (3) and MAT436 (34) at 20° C. using the sitting drop vapor diffusion method.
For crystals of PfcProRS in complex with NCP26 and proline (PDB: 6T7K), 2 mM NCP26 was added to 39 mg/mL PfcProRS together with 5 mM L-Proline, and crystals were obtained in a drop containing 75 nL of protein-compound mixture and 75 nL precipitant composed of 0.1 M HEPES, pH 7.5, and 20% PEG 10000.
For crystals of PfcProRS in complex with MAT436 (PDB: 7QC1), 1 mM MAT436 was added to 22.4 mg/mL PfcProRS, and crystals obtained in a drop containing 100 nL of the protein compound mixture and 50 nL of 1.5 M malic acid.
The crystals were cryo-protected in precipitant solution supplemented with 25-30% ethylene glycol and then flash cooled in liquid nitrogen. Data was collected on beamlines 103 and 104 at the Diamond Light Source UK, and the dataset processed, scaled, and merged at the Diamond Light Source using Xia2. Electron density maps were obtained by molecular replacement using PHASER with previously determined structures of PfcProRS as a search model.
The complex structure of PfcProRS with NCP26 (PDB 6T7K) was solved to 1.79 Å resolution using PDB 4Q15 as a search model. The complex structure of PfcProRS with MAT436 was solved to 2.51 Å resolution (PDB 7QC1) using PDB 6T7K as search model. The structures were refined in an iterative process using PHENIX with electron density map inspections and model improvement in WinCOOT and terminated when there were no substantial changes in the Rwork and Rfree values and inspection of the electron density map suggested that no further corrections or additions were justified. Structural analysis and figures were performed with PyMOL.
Crystallographic data and refinement statistics are available in
P. falciparum Cell Lines and Culture Conditions: Parasites were maintained under standard culture conditions as described previously. The P. falciparum Dd2-2D4 clone was derived from Malaria Research and Reagent Resource Repository line MRA-156 (BEI Resources). The P. falciparum HFG-induced (elevated proline homeostasis) and HFGR1 (elevated proline homeostasis and PfcProRSL482H) were previously reported previously.
P. falciparum Asexual Blood Stage Growth Assay: This assay was performed as previously described. In short, P. falciparum erythrocytic-stage parasites at 1% parasitemia and 1% hematocrit in RPMI+0.5% Albumax were seeded at 40 L/well in 384-well plates with test compounds in triplicate, dose-response format with 10 μM dihydro-artemisinin as a kill-control and blank (no compound) wells as a growth-control. DMSO concentration did not exceed 1% (v/v). After 72 h, growth was quantified by measuring fluorescence following SYBR Green staining. Data was analyzed in Excel and plotted in GraphPad PRISM.
P. falciparum Asexual Blood Stage Short-Term Resistance Susceptibility Assay: Using the robust procedure previously used to generate HFG-induced parasites (HFG-tolerant with elevated proline homeostasis), unsuccessful attempts were made to generate NCP26-tolerant/resistant parasites. In short, three independent flasks of P. falciparum Dd2-2D4 parasites were treated with 4×EC50 NCP26 until no parasites were detected by Giemsa staining microscopy. Following recrudescence, sensitivity to NCP26 and halofuginone was assayed using the ABS growth assay.
NCP26 Resistance Selection: Three independent selections for NCP26-resistant mutants of P. falciparum Dd2-2D4 parasites were conducted in vitro as previously reported. In short, parasites were treated with 4×EC50 NCP26 until no parasites were detected by giemsa staining microscopy. Following recrudescence, the asexual blood stage growth assay was used to determine sensitivity to NCP26 and control compounds including ProRS inhibitors halofuginone (1) and ProSA (25); threonyl-tRNA synthetase (ThrRS) inhibitor borrelidin; and dihydroartemisinin (DHA). This cycle was repeated for ˜50 generations (˜100 days), corresponding to 5-6 cycles of drug pressure. Selections were initially made with ˜3×108 parasites per flask (i.e. per independent selection), but did not observe any resistance after 2 cycles of drug pressure (38 days; ˜19 generations) so selection cultures were expanded to ˜1×109 parasites per flask and maintained this for the remainder of the selection.
Subcloning: Clonal parasites were isolated from each selection flask by limiting dilution of ring stage parasites in 96-well plates to an average of 0.8 and 0.2 parasites per well. Following recrudescence, these clonal parasites were assayed in the asexual blood stage blood stage viability assay to ensure no phenotypic differences from the corresponding bulk population (all isolated clones had EC50 values for all inhibitors tested within 2-fold of corresponding bulk population).
Library preparation and whole genome sequencing: Infected RBCs were washed with 0.05% saponin and genomic DNA was isolated from the parasites using a DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen) according to the standard protocols. Sequencing libraries were prepared with the Nextera XT kit (Cat. No FC-131-1024, Illumina) via the standard dual index protocol and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 S4 flow cell to generate paired-end reads 100 bp in length. Sequence data is available under BioProject Accession number: PRJNA811614 in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive. Reads were aligned to the P. falciparum 3D7 reference genome (PlasmoDB v13.0) using the previously described pipeline. A total of 8 samples were sequenced to an average whole genome coverage of 157×, with an average of 89% of reads mapping to the reference genome. Following alignment, SNVs and INDELs were called using GATK HaplotypeCaller and filtered according to GATK's best practice recommendations. Variants were annotated using a custom SnpEff database and further filtered by comparing those from resistant clones to the parent clone, such that only a mutation present in the resistant clone but not the sensitive parent clone would be retained. CNVs were identified by differential Log 2 copy ratio as described in the GATK 4 workflow. Briefly, read counts were collected across genic intervals for each sample. Copy ratios were calculated after denoising read counts against a strain-matched Panel of Normals composed of non-drug-selected Dd2 parasite samples.
P. berghei Liver Stage and HuH7 Host Hepatocyte Growth Assay: HuH7 cells (Sigma) were cultured in DMEM+L-Glutamine (Gibco) supplemented with 10% (v/v) heat-inactivated FBS (Sigma) and 1% (v/v) antibiotic/antimycotic (Sigma). Hepatocyte cultures were maintained in a standard tissue culture incubator at 37° C. Anopheles mosquitoes infected with luciferase-expressing P. berghei ANKA sporozoites were obtained from the Sporocore at the University of Georgia. Liver stage P. berghei assays were completed as previously described. Briefly, 4,000 HuH7 cells were seeded into 384-well plates (Corning) one day prior to infection. Compounds (0-50 μM) were added in triplicate to wells before infection with 4,000 P. berghei sporozoites. At ˜44 hpi, HuH7 cell viability and P. berghei parasite load was assessed using CellTiter-Fluor (Promega) and Bright-Glo (Promega), respectively, using an Envision plate reader. Relative fluorescence and luminescence signal intensities were normalized to the negative control, 1% DMSO. EC50 values were determined using GraphPad Prism through fitting data to a dose response curve. Reported EC50 values are averages of three independent experiments.

Dissolved 45 (50.5 mg, 199 μmol, 1 eq) in THE (4.6 mL) under Ar(g) atmosphere and added 1.0M NaHMDS(THF) (600 μL, 600 μmol, 3 eq). Stirred 15 min before adding this mixture dropwise over 5 min to a stirred solution of cyclohexanesulfonyl chloride (34.5 μL, 43.4 mg, 238 μmol, 1.2 eq) in THF (2 mL) under Ar(g) atmosphere. After 1 h, added more THF (2 mL) as some had evaporated through a hole in the septum. Replaced septum and stirred reaction overnight under Ar(g) atmosphere. In morning, reaction was a cloudy, yellow suspension and LC-MS analysis indicated incomplete conversion (˜10-15%). Added more 1.0M NaHMDS(THF) (400 μL, 400 μmol, 2 eq) dropwise. Reaction mixture turned a cloudy orange but showed minimal additional conversion after 5 min by LC-MS analysis. Added a solution of cyclohexanesulfonyl chloride (34.5 μL, 43.4 mg, 238 μmol, 1.2 eq) in THE (0.5 mL) dropwise and stirred for 3 h. Concentrated to remove THF, dissolved in DCM (30 mL), washed twice with 1M HCl(aq) (30 mL), twice with water (30 mL), and once with saturated NaCl(aq) (30 mL).

Synthesized as previously described, except that the benzene used for precipitation was replaced by toluene. In short, a vial was charged with chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (3.00 mL, 4.89 g, 34.6 mmol, 1.02 eq), flushed with argon, and cooled to 0° C. Added formic acid (1.27 mL, 1.55 g, 33.7 mmol, 1.00 eq) dropwise. Reaction bubbled vigorously before solidifying within 1 minute. After 1 h, added toluene (12 mL) and stirred at room temperature overnight. Removed insoluble by filtration and concentrated in vacuo. Yield: 3.54 g, 88.6%. White solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.07 (s, 2H). 13C NMR—does not contain any carbons. LC-MS (ClH2NO2S): Calculated [M+H]+ m/z=116.53, [M+H]− m/z=114.53. Did not observe by LC-MS. Product of the hydrolysis of the S—Cl bond would be below our LC-MS limit of detection. Note: when the reaction solidified, the stir bar ceased functioning, but adding solvent (DCM or toluene) during the initial reaction step significantly reduced yields in subsequent couplings.
Synthesized as described previously. In short, dissolved ((3aR,4R,6R,6aR)-6-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[3,4-d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl)methanol (880 mg, 2.86 mmol, 1 eq) in DMAc (4.4 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Separately dissolved sulfamoyl chloride (761 mg, 6.59 mmol, 2.3 eq) in MeCN (3 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Slowly added the MeCN solution to the DMAc solution. After 45 min, quenched reaction by successive addition of triethylamine (3 mL) and MeOH (6 mL). Concentrated to ˜4-5 mL. Diluted with EtOAc (100 mL), washed three times with 5% LiCl(aq) (50 mL), washed twice with half saturated NaHCO3(aq) (50 mL), washed twice with quarter saturated NaCl(aq) (50 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo without heating. Yield: 522 mg, 47.2%. Flaky yellow-white solid. 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and LC-MS data all matched those from made previously. Notes: adding DMAc or DMF to the sulfamoyl chloride solution in the absence of the alcohol will cause it to rapidly decompose.
Synthesized as described previously for similar molecules with minor modifications. In short, a flask was charged with 53 (522 mg, 1.35 mmol, 1 eq), L-Boc-Pro-OSu (507 mg, 1.62 mmol, 1.2 eq), and DMF (13.5 mL). To this, added DBU (489 μL, 494 mg, 3.25 mmol, 2.4 eq) and stirred 25 minutes. The reaction was successively diluted with water (27 mL) and then quarter saturated aqueous sodium citrate until pH=9. Extracted five times with EtOAc. Washed pooled EtOAc twice with 5% LiCl(aq), twice with saturated NH4Cl(aq), twice with half saturated NaHCO3(aq), twice with quarter saturated NaCl(aq), and dried over sodium sulfate. LC-MS analysis indicated that much of the product remained in the sodium citrate and LiCl washes so these were pooled and spiked with Na2SO4(s). Unsuccessfully tried to extract three times with EtOAc. To the pooled sodium citrate/LiCl fraction, added NaCl(s) until saturated. Extracted three times with iPrOH. Pooled iPrOH with both sets of EtOAc fractions and concentrated in vacuo. Purified by normal phase flash column chromatography and eluted with EtOAc/EtOH to obtain crude 2′,3′-O-Isopropylidene-5′-O—[N-(Boc-L-prolyl)-sulfamoyl]adenosine (160 mg, 20.3%) which was used without further purification or characterization. To crude 2′,3′-O-Isopropylidene-5′-O—[N-(Boc-L-prolyl)-sulfamoyl]adenosine (160 mg, 0.275 mmol), added 5:1 TFA/water (2.4 mL) and stirred 30 minutes. Concentrated in vacuo and azeotroped three times with EtOH. Purified by reverse phase flash column chromatography and eluted with water/MeCN (no additives) to obtain 25 as a white solid. 1H NMR (d6-DMSO) and MS data all matched those from those described previously. 13C NMR (101 MHz, DMSO) δ 172.08*, 156.04, 152.66, 149.57, 139.39, 118.95, 87.07, 82.40, 73.41, 70.70, 67.69, 61.98, 45.41, 29.20, 23.43. *Resonance assigned based upon 1H-13C HMBC. Note: Our 13C NMR spectra (d6-DMSO) matched the spectra of ProSA·Et3N reported previously, except our spectra did not include the Et3N 13C resonances (10.2 ppm and 44 ppm).
To a suspension of trans-halofuginone (2.06 g, 4.96 mmol, 1 eq) in DMF (90 mL), successively added Boc2O (1.44 g, 6.59 mmol, 1.32 eq) and DIPEA (2.50 mL, 1.86 g, 14.4 mmol, 2.90 eq). After 2 h, concentrated in vacuo to ˜0.5 mL. Diluted with EtOAc (600 mL), washed twice with 0.2 M HCl(aq) (300 mL), twice with 5% LiCl(aq) (150 mL), and once with saturated NaCl(aq) (100 mL). Dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Resuspended in methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE; 5 mL), sonicated vigorously, and filtered. Yield: 2.48 g, >95%. White solid. 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and LC-MS data match the previously reported data.
To a stirred solution of 54 (206 mg, 401 μmol, 1 eq) in DCM (5 mL), added chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (37.1 μL, 60.5 mg, 427 μmol, 1.1 eq). After 10 min, added solution of 14·2HCl (269 mg, 613 μmol, 1.53 eq), DIPEA (540 μL, 401 mg, 3.10 mmol, 7.74 eq), and DCM (5 mL). After reaction was complete by LC-MS (typically ˜5 min), diluted with 0.2 M HCl(aq) (200 mL) and extracted twice with DCM (200 mL).

All resonances observed are reported.
To EtOH (792 L), added 48% HBr(aq) (208 μL, 1.84 mmol, 160 eq) and stirred for 5 min. Added this to a vial of 37 (11.3 mg, 11.5 μmol, 1 eq) and stirred vigorously for 20 h. Concentrated in vacuo and then azeotroped once with EtOH (2 mL), once with 1:1 DCM/EtOH (4 mL), and then twice with EtOH (2 mL).

Note: neat MAT436·HBr appears to be stable indefinitely at 4° C., but 10 mM stock solutions of MAT436·HBr in DMSO are not stable indefinitely at room temperature (LC-MS analysis after 8 days at room temperature indicated ˜36% hydrolyzed at carbamate carbonyl) so long-term storage of MAT436·HBr stock solutions at −80° C. is recommended.
Dissolved 37 (29.5 mg, 29.9 μmol) in a premixed solution of 5:1 TFA/water (1.2 mL) and stirred vigorously until reaction was complete by LC-MS (typically −5 min).

Note: stereochemistry of the epimerizing carbon was assigned by comparison to NMR spectra of halofuginone and iso-halofuginone. Based upon these spectra, the possibility was ruled out that the isoMAT436 (40) was isolated from deprotection of the cis-epimer of 37.
