Membrane fusion is an essential process in nature and is often accomplished by the specific interaction of SNARE proteins. SNARE model systems, in which SNARE domains are replaced by small artificial units, represent valuable tools to study membrane fusio

Tubulin-targeted chemotherapy has proven to be a successful and wide spectrum strategy against solid and liquid malignancies. Therefore, new ways to modulate this essential protein could lead to new antitumoral pharmacological approaches. Currently known tubulin agents bind to six distinct sites at α/β-tubulin either promoting microtubule stabilization or depolymerization. We have discovered a seventh binding site at the tubulin intradimer interface where a novel microtubule-destabilizing cyclodepsipeptide, termed gatorbulin-1 (GB1), binds. GB1 has a unique chemotype produced by a marine cyanobacterium. We have elucidated this dual, chemical and mechanistic, novelty through multidimensional characterization, starting with bioactivity-guided natural product isolation and multinuclei NMR-based structure determination, revealing the modified pentapeptide with a functionally critical hydroxamate group; and validation by total synthesis. We have investigated the pharmacology using isogenic cancer cell screening, cellular profiling, and complementary phenotypic assays, and unveiled the underlying molecular mechanism by in vitro biochemical studies and high-resolution structural determination of the α/β-tubulin?GB1 complex.

A novel bifunctional organocatalyst library combining both aminocatalysis and phosphonic acid activation was used for the first time as an efficient tool for the stereoselective Michael addition of aldehydes with several aromatic nitroalkenes with good selectivities up to 95:5 dr and 93:7 er. Due to their high water solubility, the catalysts were easily recyclable and could be reused over several cycles without any significant loss of selectivity.
