While the biochemistry of rhomboid proteases has been extensively studied since their discovery two decades ago, efforts to define the physiological roles of these enzymes are ongoing and would benefit from chemical probes that can be used to manipulate the functions of these proteins in their native settings. Here, we describe the use of activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) technology to conduct a targeted screen for small-molecule inhibitors of the mitochondrial rhomboid protease PARL, which plays a critical role in regulating mitophagy and cell death. We synthesized a series of succinimide-containing sulfonyl esters and sulfonamides and discovered that these compounds serve as inhibitors of PARL with the most potent sulfonamides having submicromolar affinity for the enzyme. A counterscreen against the bacterial rhomboid protease GlpG demonstrates that several of these compounds display selectivity for PARL over GlpG by as much as two orders of magnitude. Both the sulfonyl ester and sulfonamide scaffolds exhibit reversible binding and are able to engage PARL in mammalian cells. Collectively, our findings provide encouraging precedent for the development of PARL-selective inhibitors and establish N-[(arylsulfonyl)oxy]succinimides and N-arylsulfonylsuccinimides as new molecular scaffolds for inhibiting members of the rhomboid protease family.

A synthetically practical transition metal/catalyst/halogen-free dehydrogenative coupling of aldehydes with N-hydroxyimides promoted solely by tert-butyl nitrite under mild conditions was developed. tert-Butyl nitrite generates two radicals (tBuO and NO) and thus works as a twofold hydrogen abstractor. A diverse array of N-hydroxyimide esters were prepared from either aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes. Benzoyl-substituted aldehydes such as 2-oxo-2-phenylacetaldehyde are also suitable.

Herein we report a simple synthetic protocol for N-doped yellow TiO2 (N-TiO2) hollow spheres as an efficient visible-light-active photocatalyst using aqueous titanium peroxocarbonate complex (TPCC) solution as precursor and NH4OH. In the developed strategy, the ammonium ion of TPCC and NH4OH acts as nitrogen source and structure-directing agent. The synthesized N-TiO2 hollow spheres are capable of promoting the synthesis of active esters of N-hydroxyimide and alcohol through simultaneous selective oxidation of alcohol to aldehyde followed by cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) under ambient conditions upon irradiation of visible light. It is possible to develop a novel and cost-effective one-pot strategy for the synthesis of important esters and amides on gram scale using the developed strategy. The catalytic activity of N-TiO2 hollow spheres is much superior to that of other reported N-TiO2 samples as well as TiO2 with varying morphology.
