Kinase activity can be modulated reversibly or irreversibly by the reaction of targeted covalent inhibitors with nucleophilic residues in protein active sites. Herein, we present thiol reactivity studies that support α-methylene-γ-lactams as tunable surro

In our continued efforts to improve the potential utility of the α-methylene-γ-lactone scaffold, 62 new and 59 known natural α-methylenelactam analogues including α-methylene-γ-lactams, α-arylidene-γ and δ-lactams, and 3-arylideneindolin-2-ones were synthesized as the bioisosteric analogues of the α-methylenelactone scaffold. The results of antifungal and cytotoxic activity indicated that among these derivatives compound (E)-1-(2, 6-dichlorobenzyl)-3-(2-fluorobenzylidene) pyrrolidin-2-one (Py51) possessed good selectivity with the highest antifungal activity against Colletotrichum orbiculare with IC50?=?10.4?μM but less cytotoxic activity with IC50?=?141.2?μM (against HepG2 cell line) and 161.2?μM (against human hepatic L02?cell line). Ultrastructural change studies performed by transmission electron microscope showed that Py51 could cause important cell morphological changes in C.?orbiculare, such as plasma membrane detached from cell wall, cell wall thickening, mitochondria disruption, a dramatic increase in vacuolation, and eventually a complete loss in the integrity of organelles. Significantly, mitochondria appeared one of the primary targets, as confirmed by their remarkably aberrant morphological changes. Analysis of structure–activity relationships revealed that incorporation of the aryl group into the α-exo-methylene and the N-benzyl substitution increased the activity. Meanwhile, the α-arylidene-γ-lactams have superiority in selectivity over the 3-arylideneindolin-2-ones. Based on the results, the N-benzyl substituted α-(2-fluorophenyl)-γ-lactam was identified as the most promising natural-based scaffold for further discovering and developing improved crop-protection agents.

The homo- and copolymerization of 3-methylene-2-pyrrolidone (3M2P) is introduced. 3M2P is readily polymerized via conventional free radical polymerization, and two reversible deactivation radical polymerization methods including reversible addition-fragmentation (chain) transfer and single-electron-transfer living radical polymerization. Poly(3M2P) has a high thermal stability and a very high glass transition temperature. Poly(3M2P) does not dissolve in most common organic solvents, but it has a high aqueous solubility. Cytotoxicity tests reveal that it is nontoxic to cells, even up to concentrations of 1 mg/mL. This adds poly(3M2P) to the family of water-soluble and biocompatible pyrrolidone-based vinyl polymers.
