Il y a plus de cinquante ans, la pactamycine a été isolée en tant qu’agent antitumoral potentiel. Il a été réalisé plus tard qu’il s’agissait en fait d’un agent antibactérien capable d’inhiber la synthèse de protéines lors du procédé de traduction. Récemment, il a même été démontré que certains de ses analogues possèdent des propriétés antiprotozoaires prometteuses. La présente thèse détaille la première synthèse totale de la pactamycine, entreprise au sein du groupe Hanessian, ainsi que la préparation d’une sélection d’analogues testés pour leurs propriétés biologiques. En outre, la daphniglaucine C appartient à une vaste famille de composés naturels isolés des feuilles du daphniphyllum au cours des dix dernières années. Bien que relativement peu d’information soit connue par rapport à l’activité biologique de la daphniglaucine C, la synthèse de celle-ci représente certainement un défi intéressant pour un chimiste organicien. Au passage, nos efforts vers la synthèse totale du composé cible auront permis d’explorer l’emploi de plusieurs méthodes en vue de la formation de centres quaternaires. De plus, un réarrangement réductif atypique, catalysé au palladium à partir d’alcools allyliques non-activés, a été étudié et employé afin de générer une sélection de pyrrolidines polysubstituées.

The enaminones, generated from derivatives of appropriately substituted Baylis-Hillman adducts of 3-isoxazolecarbaldehydes undergo intramolecular ring-closure reactions to afford substituted 2-pyrrolidinones, 1,5-dihydro-2-pyrrolones and N-substituted pyrrolidines in good yields.

1-[(3’-Diethylaminopropyl)-3-(substitutedphenylmethylene) pyrrolidines] were synthe-sized and evaluated for CQ resistant reversal activity. The compounds of the series elicit better biological response than their phenyl methyl analogues in general. The most active compound 4b has been evaluated in vivo in details and the results are presented. The possible mode of action of the compounds of this series is by inhibition of the enzyme heme oxygenase, thereby increasing the levels of heme and hemozoin, which are lethal to the parasite.

The more advantageous hepatitis C virus (HCV) inhibitors (most of them incorporating polysubstituted prolines or pyrrolidines) are detailed in this paper. The improvement of current treatments by combination of antiviral drugs is the driving force of this race to reduce the fast proliferation of this virus. The enhancement of efficiency in short periods of treatment is crucial in the economical point of view and for the hope of all infected people. New protease or polymerase inhibitors have been recently developed in order to substitute the traditional highly toxic PEG-interferon α-2b/ribavirin tandem. The contribution of our group in this field concerns the elaboration of the first and second generation GSK polymerase inhibitors through enantioselective processes based on silver(I)- and gold(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of azomethine ylides.

This review highlights the biological importance of many polysubstituted nitro-prolines and -pyrrolidines. Their preparation using asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of azomethine ylides with nitroalkenes using diastereoselective and enantioselective strategies is described remarking the scope and main features of each one.

Azomethine ylides, generated from imine-derived O-cinnamyl or O-crotonyl salicylaldeyde and α-amino acids, undergo intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, leading to chromene[4,3-b]pyrrolidines. Two reaction conditions are used: (a) microwave-assisted heating (200 W, 185 °C) of a neat mixture of reagents, and (b) conventional heating (170 °C) in PEG-400 as solvent. In both cases, a mixture of two epimers at the α-position of the nitrogen atom in the pyrrolidine nucleus was formed through the less energetic endo-approach (B/C ring fusion). In many cases, the formation of the stereoisomer bearing a trans-arrangement into the B/C ring fusion was observed in high proportions. Comprehensive computational and kinetic simulation studies are detailed. An analysis of the stability of transient 1,3-dipoles, followed by an assessment of the intramolecular pathways and kinetics are also reported.

The synthesis of constrained spirocycles is achieved effectively by means of 1,3-dipolar cyclodditions employing α-imino γ-lactones as azomethine ylide precursors and nitroalkenes as dipolarophiles. The complex formed by (R,R)-Me-DuPhos 18 and AgF is the most efficient bifunctional catalyst. Final spiro-nitroprolinates cycloadducts are obtained in good to moderate yields and both high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations supported the expected absolute configuration as well as other stereochemical parameters.

Biocatalysis currently is focusing on enzymatic and multi-enzymatic cascade processes instead of single steps imbedded into chemical pathways. Alongside this scientific revolution, this review provides an overview on multi-enzymatic cascades that are responsible for the biosynthesis of some terpenes, alkaloids and polyethers, which are important classes of natural products. Herein, we illustrate the development of studies inspired by multi- and chemo-enzymatic approaches to build the core moieties of polyethers, polypeptide alkaloids, piperidines and pyrrolidines promoted by the joint action of oxidoreductases, hydrolases, cyclases, transaminases and imine reductases.

The cellular protease subtilisin kexin isozyme-1 (SKI-1)/site-1 protease (S1P) is implicated in the proteolytic processing of the viral envelope glycoprotein precursor (GPC) of arenaviruses, a step strictly required for production of infectious progeny. The small molecule SKI-1/S1P inhibitor PF-429242 was shown to have anti-viral activity against Old World arenaviruses. Here we extended these studies and show that PF-429242 also inhibits GPC processing and productive infection of New World arenaviruses, making PF-429242 a broadly active anti-arenaviral drug. In combination therapy, PF-429242 potentiated the anti-viral activity of ribavirin, indicating a synergism between the two drugs. A hallmark of arenaviruses is their ability to establish persistent infection in vitro and in vivo. Notably, PF-429242 was able to efficiently and rapidly clear persistent infection by arenaviruses. Interruption of drug treatment did not result in re-emergence of infection, indicating that PF-429242 treatment leads to virus extinction.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the potential of deep HIV-1 sequencing for adding clinically relevant information relative to viral population sequencing in heavily pre-treated HIV-1-infected subjects. METHODS: In a proof-of-concept study, deep sequencing was compared to population sequencing in HIV-1-infected individuals with previous triple-class virological failure who also developed virologic failure to deep salvage therapy including, at least, darunavir, tipranavir, etravirine or raltegravir. Viral susceptibility was inferred before salvage therapy initiation and at virological failure using deep and population sequencing genotypes interpreted with the HIVdb, Rega and ANRS algorithms. The threshold level for mutant detection with deep sequencing was 1%. RESULTS: 7 subjects with previous exposure to a median of 15 antiretrovirals during a median of 13 years were included. Deep salvage therapy included darunavir, tipranavir, etravirine or raltegravir in 4, 2, 2 and 5 subjects, respectively. Self-reported treatment adherence was adequate in 4 and partial in 2; one individual underwent treatment interruption during follow-up. Deep sequencing detected all mutations found by population sequencing and identified additional resistance mutations in all but one individual, predominantly after virological failure to deep salvage therapy. Additional genotypic information led to consistent decreases in predicted susceptibility to etravirine, efavirenz, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and indinavir in 2, 1, 2 and 1 subject, respectively. Deep sequencing data did not consistently modify the susceptibility predictions achieved with population sequencing for darunavir, tipranavir or raltegravir. CONCLUSIONS: In this subset of heavily pre-treated individuals, deep sequencing improved the assessment of genotypic resistance to etravirine, but did not consistently provide additional information on darunavir, tipranavir or raltegravir susceptibility. These data may inform the design of future studies addressing the clinical value of minority drug-resistant variants in treatment-experienced subjects.

Evidence shows that the endocannabinoid system modulates the addictive properties of nicotine. In the present study, we hypothesized that spontaneous withdrawal resulting from removal of chronically implanted transdermal nicotine patches is regulated by the endocannabinoid system. A 7-day nicotine dependence procedure (5.2 mg/rat/day) elicited occurrence of reliable nicotine abstinence symptoms in Wistar rats. Somatic and affective withdrawal signs were observed at 16 and 34 hours following removal of nicotine patches, respectively. Further behavioral manifestations including decrease in locomotor activity and increased weight gain also occurred during withdrawal. Expression of spontaneous nicotine withdrawal was accompanied by fluctuation in levels of the endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA) in several brain structures including the amygdala, the hippocampus, the hypothalamus and the prefrontal cortex. Conversely, levels of 2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol were not significantly altered. Pharmacological inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), the enzyme responsible for the intracellular degradation of AEA, by URB597 (0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg, i.p.), reduced withdrawal-induced anxiety as assessed by the elevated plus maze test and the shock-probe defensive burying paradigm, but did not prevent the occurrence of somatic signs. Together, the results indicate that pharmacological strategies aimed at enhancing endocannabinoid signaling may offer therapeutic advantages to treat the negative affective state produced by nicotine withdrawal, which is critical for the maintenance of tobacco use.

Emergency medicine physicians aim to stabilize or restore vital functions, establish diagnosis, initiate specific treatments and adequately orientate patients. This year, new evidences have improved our knowledge about diagnostic strategy for patients with acute non traumatic headache, treatment of acute atrial fibrillation and outpatient management of acute pulmonary embolism. Reducing injection pain of local anesthetics, reducing irradiation by using alternative diagnostic tools in appendicitis suspicion, and identification of trauma patients who benefit from tranexamic acid administration are other illustrations of the efforts to improve efficacy, safety and comfort in the management of emergency patients.
