Impact of Stereospecific Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding on Cell Permeability and Physicochemical Properties

چکیده
Profiling of eight stereoisomeric T. cruzi growth inhibitors revealed vastly different in vitro properties such as solubility, lipophilicity, pKa, and cell permeability for two sets of four stereoisomers. Using computational chemistry and NMR spectroscopy, we identified the formation of an intramolecular NH→NR3 hydrogen bond in the set of stereoisomers displaying lower solubility, higher lipophilicity, and higher cell permeability. The intramolecular hydrogen bond resulted in a significant pKa difference that accounts for the other structure-property relationships. Application of this knowledge could be of particular value to maintain the delicate balance of size, solubility, and lipophilicity required for cell penetration and oral administration for chemical probes or therapeutics with properties at, or beyond, Lipinski's rule of 5.

Probing the Physicochemical Boundaries of Cell Permeability and Oral Bioavailability in Lipophilic Macrocycles Inspired by Natural Products.
Cyclic peptide natural products contain a variety of conserved, nonproteinogenic structural elements such as d-amino acids and amide N-methylation. In addition, many cyclic peptides incorporate γ-amino acids and other elements derived from polyketide synthases. We hypothesized that the position and orientation of these extended backbone elements impact the ADME properties of these hybrid molecu...
متن کاملComputational study of the intramolecular proton transfer between 6-hydroxypicolinic acid tautomeric forms and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in their dimers
This paper is a density functional theory (DFT) calculation of intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) in 6-hydroxypicolinic acid (6HPA, 6-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid) tautomeric forms. The transition state for the enol-to-keto transition is reported in the gas phase and in four different solvents. The planar and non-planar dimer forms of 6HPA keto and enol, respectively, were also studied i...

Molecular structure, isomerism, conformational stability and intramolecular hydrogen bonding (IHB) of cis-enol forms of 1-(n-pyridyl)butane-1,3-diones (nPBD) (n = 2, 3, or 4) have been investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Energy differences for all possible nPBD cis-enol forms of isomers with respect to the most stable form of the correspondin...
متن کاملAn NMR method for the quantitative assessment of intramolecular hydrogen bonding; application to physicochemical, environmental, and biochemical properties.
(1)H NMR chemical shifts have been obtained in the solvents deuterochloroform and dimethyl sulfoxide. The difference in the chemical shifts of an OH or NH group in these two solvents, Δδ = δ(DMSO) - δ(CDCl3), can be converted into the hydrogen bond acidity, A, of the group using the equation A = 0.0065 + 0.133Δδ. The NMR A value, ANMR, can be used as a quantitative assessment of intramolecular ...

This study presents our view of unconventional and conventional intramolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs) for some beta-diketones theoretically and experimentally. According to our results, the groups such as Phenyl and t-But in beta positions increase and CF3 group decrease IHB strength, respectively. For better understanding of the substitution effects, the compounds with similar and different subs...
