Structure-activity relationship observations for the bagworm moth pheromone
Warthen,Klun,DeVilbiss
, p. 1315 - 1324 (1996)
Structure-activity relationship (SAR) observations were made for the bagworm moth pheromone. (R)-2-pentyl decanoate, and a series of analogs with modifications in the alcohol portion of the molecule. Observed attractiveness of these analogs was related to molecular structure and their physical attributes using computational chemistry. Electrostatic potential and Van der Waals (VdW) electrostatic coded surface three-dimensional (3D) maps of the molecular mechanics (MM) minimized lowest energy conformation of the pheromone show that size, shape, charge distribution, and chirality of the molecule are related to attractiveness.

A previously studied congeneric series of thermolysin inhibitors addressing the solvent-accessible S2′ pocket with different hydrophobic substituents showed modulations of the surface water layers coating the protein-bound inhibitors. Increasing stabilization of water molecules resulted in an enthalpically more favorable binding signature, overall enhancing affinity. Based on this observation, we optimized the series by designing tailored P2′ substituents to improve and further stabilize the surface water network. MD simulations were applied to predict the putative water pattern around the bound ligands. Subsequently, the inhibitors were synthesized and characterized by high-resolution crystallography, microcalorimetry, and surface plasmon resonance. One of the designed inhibitors established the most pronounced water network of all inhibitors tested so far, composed of several fused water polygons, and showed 50-fold affinity enhancement with respect to the original methylated parent ligand. Notably, the inhibitor forming the most perfect water network also showed significantly prolonged residence time compared to the other tested inhibitors.

An effective Pd(II) catalyzed double unactivated C(sp3)-H alkoxylation has been developed to prepare both symmetric and unsymmetric acetals. This new reaction demonstrates good functional group tolerance, excellent reactivity, and high yields. A variety of novel acetals can be readily accessed via this new method.
