Tryptophan catabolism mediated by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an important mechanism of peripheral immune tolerance contributing to tumoral immune resistance. IDO inhibition is thus an active area of research in drug development. Recently, our group has shown that tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), an unrelated hepatic enzyme also catalyzing the first step of tryptophan degradation, is also expressed in many tumors and that this expression prevents tumor rejection by locally depleting tryptophan. Herein, we report a structure- activity study on a series of 3-(2-(pyridyl)ethenyl)indoles. More than 70 novel derivatives were synthesized, and their TDO inhibitory potency was evaluated. The rationalization of the structure-activity relationships (SARs) revealed essential features to attain high TDO inhibition and notably a dense H-bond network mainly involving His(55) and Thr(254) residues. Our study led to the identification of a very promising compound (58) displaying good TDO inhibition (K-i = 5.5 mu M), high selectivity, and good oral bioavailability. Indeed, 58 was chosen for preclinical evaluation.

A Selenenium-Bridged 10-Boratriptycene Lewis Acid

Arnaud Osi, Nikolay Tumanov, Johan Wouters, Aurelien Chardon, Guillaume Berionni

Summary: A new boratriptycene derivative with a selenium atom in the bridgehead position of the triptycene scaffold was synthesized, and its Lewis acidity was evaluated experimentally and computationally. The introduction of a selenium atom allows precise modification of the pyramidalization of the boron atom environment, affecting the Lewis acidity parameters of the triarylborane.

Crystal Structures of Organoselenium Compounds: Structural Descriptors for Chalcogen Bonds

Laurie Bodart, Johan Wouters

Summary: This study presents useful descriptors for discriminating structures with selenium-containing chalcogen bonds. The most relevant parameters for identifying conventional chalcogen bonds are the C-Se angle and the distance between X and the C-Se-C plane, while for chalcogen...pi bonds, the relevant parameters are the C-Se angle and the angle between the C-Se bond and the normal to the aromatic ring plane.

Targeting the phosphoserine phosphatase MtSerB2 for tuberculosis drug discovery, an hybrid knowledge based/fragment based approach

Marie Haufroid, Alexander N. Volkov, Johan Wouters

Summary: Tuberculosis remains as a major cause of death caused by a treatable pathogen. The increasing resistance to common antibiotics necessitates the development of new drugs with new therapeutic targets. The enzyme MtSerB2, which allows immune evasion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a potential target for drug design. This study presents a new approach based on virtual screening for selecting harmine-derived compounds to inhibit MtSerB2. The affinity of these compounds for MtSerB2 is characterized through screening methods, providing structural information and the development of pharmacophore models for more complex inhibitors. This research may lead to the development of antimycobacterial molecules targeting MtSerB2 and inhibiting the growth of the pathogen.

From Proton to Boron: The Lewis Analogs of Protonated Bronsted Super Acids

Arnaud Osi, Nikolay Tumanov, Luca Fusaro, Johan Wouters, Guillaume Berionni, Aurelien Chardon

Summary: Isolation and characterization of highly reactive intermediates are important for understanding chemical reactivity. The chemistry of borylated sulfate, triflimidate, and triflate anions were studied in order to synthesize unique analogs of protonated Bronsted superacids. Complexes formed by borylation with a 9-boratriptycene derived Lewis super acid and a weakly coordinated anion were characterized in solution and in the solid state, exhibiting unique structures and reactivities.

Association of Pyramidal Boron Lewis Superacids with Pyridines: Bending 2,4,6-Collidine with the 10-Sulfonium-9-boratriptycene

Arnaud Osi, Nicolas Niessen, Damien Mahaut, Benoit Champagne, Aurelien Chardon, Nikolay Tumanov, Johan Wouters, Guillaume Berionni

Summary: The association between pyridine and collidine with a pyramidal triarylborane belonging to the 9-boratriptycene family is explored using NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Despite the large size and steric hindrance, the boron Lewis superacid enables the formation of a stable Lewis adduct. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals an exceptional deformation of the collidine moiety, resulting in a small twist of the collidine ring into a boat-like conformation. Computational investigations suggest that steric repulsions decrease the Gibbs free energy of Lewis adduct formation.

Salt and Cocrystals Combining Sulfathiazole with Pyrimethamine

Laurie Bodart, Jeanne Body, Nikolay Tumanov, Tom Leyssens, Johan Wouters

Summary: This study identifies and characterizes four new solid forms of pyrimethamine and sulfathiazole, including a cocrystal and solvated salt cocrystals. The desolvation of the salt cocrystals leads to the formation of stable mixtures. Additionally, both the pyrimethamine-sulfathiazole cocrystal and solvated salt cocrystal show an increase in drug solubility.

Classroom experiments with artificial sweeteners: growing single crystals and simple calorimetry

Johan Wouters, Luc Van Meervelt

Summary: This article describes an easily accessible experimental set-up for growing large single crystals of two common sweeteners found in supermarkets, erythritol and xylitol. The crystallization process of these compounds demonstrates the principles of crystallization by evaporation. Additionally, a simple calorimetric set-up is used to showcase the endothermic nature of the dissolution of the sweeteners by measuring the heat of dissolution. The choice of these sweeteners also allows for visualization of their three-dimensional structure, crystal packing, and powder diffractograms using freely available tools.

Balancing fluorescence and singlet oxygen formation in push-pull type near-infrared BODIPY photosensitizers

Jasper Deckers, Tom Cardeynaels, Sandra Doria, Nikolay Tumanov, Andrea Lapini, Anitha Ethirajan, Marcel Ameloot, Johan Wouters, Mariangela Di Donato, Benoit Champagne, Wouter Maes

Summary: In this study, a series of strongly absorbing, heavy-atom-free, distyryl-BODIPY donor-acceptor dyads operating within the phototherapeutic window were reported. The diphenylamine and carbazole donors led to strong fluorescence, while dimethylacridine, phenoxazine, and phenothiazine units afford a decent fluorescence combined with the efficient formation of singlet oxygen. The excited state dynamics responsible for the differences within the BODIPY series were elucidated through photophysical analysis and quantum-chemical calculations.

Calix[6]arenes with halogen bond donor groups as selective and efficient anion transporters

Anurag Singh, Aaron Torres-Huerta, Tom Vanderlinden, Nathan Renier, Luis Martinez-Crespo, Nikolay Tumanov, Johan Wouters, Kristin Bartik, Ivan Jabin, Hennie Valkenier

Summary: This study demonstrates the anion binding and anion transport properties of a series of calix[6]arenes decorated with halogen bond or hydrogen bond donating groups on their small rim. The results show that the halogen bond donating iodotriazole groups enable highly selective transport of chloride and nitrate anions, without the transport of protons or hydroxide.

Structural study of bioisosteric derivatives of 5-(1H-indol-3-yl)-benzotriazole and their ability to form chalcogen bonds

Manon Mirgaux, Tanguy Scaillet, Arina Kozlova, Nikolay Tumanov, Raphael Frederick, Laurie Bodart, Johan Wouters

Summary: Recently, interest has grown in substituting nitrogen atoms with selenium, sulfur, or oxygen atoms in the design of potential cancer inhibitors. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses were used to determine the structures of derivatives of 5-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2,1,3-benzotriazole, leading to observations of different crystal packing and supramolecular features depending on the substitution. Computational methods were also employed to better understand the effects of substitution on the compounds' ability to form chalcogen bonds and their flexibility.
