- A BF3×OEt2 catalyzed intramolecular Povarov reaction was used to synthesize a library of 15 chromenopyridine fused thiazolino-2-pyridone peptidomimetics. The reaction works with a range of O-alkylated salicylaldehydes and amino functionalized thiazolino-2-pyridones, to generate polyheterocycles with diverse substitution. The synthesized compounds were screened for their ability to bind α-synuclein and amyloid β fibrils in vitro. Analogs substituted with a nitro group bind to mature amyloid fibrils, and the activity moreover depends on the positioning of this functional group.

Enhanement of amyloid fibril binding by ring expansion of thiazolino fused 2-pyridone peptidomimetics

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Thiazolino fused 2-pyridones undergo thiazoline ring opening by reaction with 2-nitrobenzyl bromide through thi- oether attack, and base promoted fragmentation of the resulting sulfonium ions. Subsequent deprotonation of the benzylic carbon and intramolecular 1,4-addition leads to ring closure, generating dihydrothiazine fused 2-pyridones by net ring expansion of the thiazoline ring. Application of the ring expansion procedure to the pyridine and pyrimidine fused thiazolino 2-pyridones provided compounds with enhanced fibril binding activity.

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease are the two most common neurological disorders in humans. Both conditions involve progressive death of neurons in the central nervous system, decline in bodily functions and eventually (and invariably), death. So far, no cure exists and the available treatments can only ease symptoms. Despite substantial investments in research, the biomolecular processes are still far from fully understood. However, both diseases are associated with formation of fibrillar protein aggregates called amyloid deposits. Whereas Alzheimer’s disease involves aggregation of the Tau and Amyloid β proteins, α-Synuclein fibrilization plays a key role in Parkinson's disease. Although they are chemically distinct, the deposits consist of protein fibres with similar morphology and fold. Small molecules, such as the thiazoline fused 2-pyridones herein presented, can interfere with the formation of amyloid fibres, or bind to them. Besides having potential for diagnostication and treatment, such small molecules constitute valuable tool compounds in future research, to unravel the mechanisms of amyloid formation and pathology. The first step towards successful treatment, diagnostication and prevention of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease is understanding the causes and underlying mechanisms better. This thesis narrates the synthesis and development of novel chemical structures: multi ring fused peptidomimetics with the ability to bind mature amyloid fibrils, consisting of α-Synuclein or Amyloid β. The first project (articles I, III and VI) describes method development for the extension of bicyclic thiazolino 2-pyrdiones by fusion with aromatic nitrogen heterocycles, which enables the desired amyloid binding properties. Derivatisations of the newly generated central scaffold, and variation of the multiple attached substituents, were subsequently performed in efforts to improve binding strength and solubility, and gain selectivity towards certain fibrils. One of the most promising amyloid fibril binders was evaluated in a human cell line and in mice, and found to be protective against accelerator induced neurotoxicity. One pyrimidine fused compound moreover indicated potent inhibition of Amyloid b aggregation. The second project (articles II, IV and V) focuses on development of methods to modify the thiazoline ring. Ring opening induced by electrophiles generates N-alkenyl 2-pyridones but decreases amyloid binding potency. Introduction of a cyclobutane moiety fused with the thiazoline ring is better tolerated, and adds a terminal alkene moiety that can be exploited in future chemical modifications. Expansion of the five membered thiazoline ring to a six membered dihydrothiazine ring, equipped with a nitrophenyl substituent, provides compounds with enhanced fibril binding capacity, which further inhibits Amyloid β fibril formation in vitro. Taken together, the synthetic methodologies allow construction and late stage modification of complex fused heterocycles, with several points of variation. Thus, the developed methods may be of future value in our laboratories and elsewhere.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We herein present the synthesis of diversely functionalized pyrimidine fused thiazolino-2-pyridones via K2S2O8-mediated oxidative coupling of 6-amino-7-(aminomethyl)-thiazolino-2-pyridones with aldehydes. The developed protocol is mild, has wide substrate scope, and does not require transition metal catalyst or base. Some of the synthesized compounds have an ability to inhibit the formation of Amyloid-β fibrils associated with Alzheimer's disease, while others bind to mature amyloid-β and α-synuclein fibrils.

Functionalization of Thiazolino fused 2-Pyridones by thiazoline ring opening and closing : Identification of new Amyloid Binding Heterocycles

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Reaction of thiazolino fused 2-pyridones with alkyl halides in the presence of cesium carbonate opens the thiazoline ring via S-alkylation and generate N-alkenyl functionalized 2-pyridones. In the reaction with propargyl bromide, the thiazoline ring opens and subsequently closes via an intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition between in situ generated allene and the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety. This method enabled the synthesis of a variety of cyclobutane and thiazolino fused 2-pyridones, which were tested for α-synuclein binding activity. Most of the bioactive thiazolino fused 2-pyridones tolerated this transformation and in addition provided an exocyclic alkene as a handle for tuning bioactivity.

- Reaction of thiazoline fused 2-pyridones with alkyl halides in the presence of cesium carbonate opens the thiazoline ring via S-alkylation and generates N-alkenyl functionalized 2-pyridones. In the reaction with propargyl bromide, the thiazoline ring opens and subsequently closes via a [2 + 2] cycloaddition between an in situ generated allene and the α,β-unsaturated methyl ester. This method enabled the synthesis of a variety of cyclobutane fused thiazolino-2-pyridones, of which a few analogues inhibit amyloid β1–40 fibril formation. Furthermore, other analogues were able to bind mature α-synuclein and amyloid β1−40 fibrils. Several thiazoline fused 2-pyridones with biological activity tolerate this transformation, which in addition provides an exocyclic alkene as a potential handle for tuning bioactivity.
