Facile Solid-Phase Synthesis and Assessment of Nucleoside Analogs as Inhibitors of Bacterial UDP-Sugar Processing Enzymes

The privileged uptake of nucleosides into cells has generated interest in the development of nucleoside-analog libraries for mining new inhibitors. Of particular interest are applications in the discovery of substrate mimetic inhibitors for the growing number of identified glycan-processing enzymes...

description The privileged uptake of nucleosides into cells has generated interest in the development of nucleoside-analog libraries for mining new inhibitors. Of particular interest are applications in the discovery of substrate mimetic inhibitors for the growing number of identified glycan-processing enzymes in bacterial pathogens. However, the high polarity and the need for appropriate protecting group strategies for nucleosides challenges the development of synthetic approaches. Here, we report an accessible, user-friendly synthesis that branches from a common solid phase-immobilized uridinyl-amine intermediate, which can be used as a starting point for diversity-oriented synthesis. We demonstrate the generation of five series of uridinyl nucleoside analogs for investigating inhibitor structure-activity relationships. This library was screened for inhibition of representative enzymes from three functional families including a phosphoglycosyl transferase, a UDP-aminosugar acetyltransferase, and a glycosyltransferase. These candidates were taken from the Gram-negative bacteria Campylobacter concisus and Campylobacter jejuni and the Gram-positive bacterium Clostridium difficile, respectively. Inhibition studies show that specific compound series preferentially inhibit selected enzymes, with IC 50 values ranging from 35 ± 7 μM to 174 ± 21 μM. Insights from the screen provide a strong foundation for further structural elaboration, to improve potency, which will be enabled by the same synthetic strategy. The solid-phase strategy was also used to synthesize pseudouridine analogs of lead compounds. Finally, the compounds were found to be nontoxic to mammalian cells, further supporting the opportunities for future development.
