The key step in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of apremilast was to produce the chiral alcohol (R)-1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethanol, (R)-3. Two enzymatic approaches were evaluated to obtain (R)-3, one using ketoreductases and the other lipases. Bioreduction of 1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethanone (2), using ketoreductase KRED-P2-D12, led to (R)-3 with 48% conversion and 93% enantiomeric excess (ee). Kinetic resolution of rac-1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl acetate (rac-4), via hydrolysis reaction, with 20% of n-butanol, catalyzed by lipase from Aspergillus niger yielded (R)-3 with > 99% ee, 50% conversion and E-value (enantiomeric ratio) > 200. The reaction between enantiomerically pure (R)-3 and 4-acetylamino-isoindol-1,3-dione (8) afforded apremilast in 65% yield and 67% ee.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

In order to produce bioactive derivatives of carvacrol and thymol, nine derivatives of each compound were prepared through modifications the phenolic hydroxyl group. The structures of compounds were confirmed by spectral data from MS, IR and NMR. Carvacrol, thymol and derivatives were submitted to the evaluation of the inhibition of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, using a colorimetric method in which the inhibition of the enzyme is measured by coloration, and larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti. Derivatives carvacryl acetate-1b and thymyl hexanoate-2b showed the best results for the inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, and for the larvicidal activity the derivatives 1a, 1b, 1c, 3h, 2a, 2b, 2c and 4h showed positive results, emphasizing compound thymyl 4-methoxybenzoate-4h which showed LC50 values of 23.60 ppm, considered a very good result.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

Four new alkaloids, Brazoides A-D, together with three known compounds squalene, β-sitosterol and lupeol, were isolated from leaves of Justicia gendarussa. These structures were established by spectrometric techniques, mainly high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) and 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), including comparative analysis with literature values. Structural determination of the compounds, Brazoides A-D, was strengthened by molecular modeling and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to predict the NMR data and compare with the experimental NMR values of these natural products. The new compounds were tested against three human cancer cell lines (glioblastoma, prostate and colon), but none exhibited activity.

A síntese de derivados do tianfenicol, catalisada por lipases, foi investigada através da realização das reações de acilação e de hidrólise, como abordagens complementares, sendo a lipase Candida antarctica B o biocatalisador mais eficiente para as modificações seletivas de ambos, o tianfenicol e o correspondente diacetato do tianfenicol, respectivamente. Os melhores resultados foram obtidos nas reações de acilação com diferentes ésteres vinílicos, contendo cadeias carbônicas de comprimento variável, levando aos correspondentes 3'-monoésteres com excelentes rendimentos e em tempos reacionais curtos. As condições reacionais foram analisadas em termos de concentração de substrato, carga de enzima e tipo de doador de acila. Foi demonstrado o reuso da enzima por cinco vezes sem perda significativa de atividade. Alternativamente, a abordagem hidrolítica propiciou a preparação de alguns 1'-monoésteres em bons rendimentos, ainda que os níveis de reatividade e seletividade foram mais baixos que os obtidos na reação complementar de acetilação.

The lipase-catalyzed synthesis of thiamphenicol derivatives has been studied through complementary acylation and hydrolytic approaches, finding Candida antarctica lipase B as the most efficient biocatalyst for the selective modification of both thiamphenicol and thiamphenicol diacetate, respectively. The best results have been obtained using acylation reactions with different vinyl esters of variable length, yielding the corresponding 3'-monoesters with excellent yields and in short reaction times. The conditions have been analyzed in terms of substrate concentration, enzyme loading and type of acyl donor. The reuse of the enzyme for five-times without significant loss of the activity has also been demonstrated. Alternatively, the hydrolytic approach has allowed the preparation of some 1'-monoesters in good yields, although the reactivity and selectivity levels were lower than the ones achieved for the complementary acetylation reaction.

RESUMO OBJETIVO: O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar in-vivo a profundidade e a porcentagem de testosterona na pele humana. MÉTODO: Dois jovens voluntários brasileiros saudáveis foram avaliadas através de uma sonda confocal de Espectroscopia Raman na face volar do antebraço direito. A espectroscopia de testosterona foi realizada no estrato córneo, na epiderme viável e na derme; a concentração percentual de testosterona foi comparada entre a linha de base e uma hora após a aplicação transdérmica de uma formulação de testosterona nanoestruturada (5%). RESULTADOS: Tanto quanto sabemos, esta é a primeira vez que a profundidade e a porcentagem de testosterona foi avaliada de forma não invasiva in-vivo. Nenhum evento adverso foi associado a esse protocolo. O método é eficaz na medição diferencial da testosterona nas camadas da pele. CONCLUSÃO: Este protocolo pode servir como uma boa alternativa para a rápida quantificação hormonal com finalidade forense ou médica.

OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to measure in-vivo the depth and the percentage of testosterone in human skin. METHOD: Two healthy young Brazilian volunteers were evaluated through a Confocal Raman Spectroscopy probe on the right volar forearm. Testosterone spectroscopy of was performed on the Stratum Corneum, Viable Epidermis and Dermis; the percentage concentration of testosterone was compared between the baseline and one hour after local application of a transdermal nanostructured testosterone (5%) formulation. RESULTS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the depth and percentage of testosterone has been evaluated non-invasively in-vivo. No adverse events were attributed to this protocol. The method is effective in differentially measuring testosterone in the skin layers. CONCLUSION: This protocol may serve as a good choice for rapid hormone quantification for forensic or medical purposes.

A formação de espécies paramagnéticas a partir da oncocalixona A em meio aprótico foi confirmada pela realização de experimentos eletroquímicos in situ em conjunto com ressonância de spin eletrônico (E-ESR). A alta deslocalização do radical gerado no primeiro potencial de redução está claramente evidenciada pelo acoplamento hiperfino do H-9 com a maior constante de acoplamento, além dos acoplamentos nas posições H-3 (próximo à quinona) e H-7 (distante do núcleo quinônico). Em meio prótico, além dos experimentos de dependência com o pH, oncocalixona A mostrou-se DNA-reativa por meio de experimentos eletroquímicos com sensores de DNA. Sua reação com N-acetilcisteína, com caracterização estrutural dos produtos de adição, evidencia sua habilidade como aceptor de Michael. Ambos os aspectos são importantes em termos de atividades biológicas/farmacológicas e indicam os presentes modelos como ferramentas importantes na avaliação de compostos biologicamente ativos.

The formation of paramagnetic species from oncocalyxone A in aprotic medium was confirmed by performing in situ electrochemical-electron spin resonance (E-ESR) experiments. The high delocalization of the radical generated at the first reduction potential is clearly evidenced by the hyperfine coupling of H-9 with the larger coupling constant, besides the couplings at the H-3 (close to quinone) and H-7 (far from the quinone nucleus) positions. In protic medium, together with pH dependence experiments, oncocalyxone A showed to be DNA-reactive through experiments with DNA sensors. Its reaction with N-acetylcysteine, with structural characterization of the addition products, proved its ability as Michael acceptor. Both aspects are important in terms of biological/pharmacological activities and indicate the present models as important tools in the screening of biologically active compounds.

A reatividade e estereosseletividade apresentadas por uma nova cepa de Candida tropicalis na redução de cetonas pró-quirais foram comparadas com cepas de microrganismos, estudadas em nosso laboratório, provenientes da biodiversidade brasileira. Neste caso, Candida tropicalis demonstrou-se como um agente redutor versátil e estereosseletivo na biorredução de uma série de cetonas aromáticas. Estes compostos pró-quirais foram convertidos aos correspondentes álcoois opticamente ativos com moderada a excelente estereopreferência dependendo da estrutura do substrato. Entre as cetonas utilizadas, as nitroacetofenonas foram enzimaticamente reduzidas aos correspondentes (S)-álcoois enantiopuros com completa conversão.

In this manner, Candida tropicalis has demonstrated its versatility as stereoselective agent in the bioreduction of a series of aromatic ketones. These prochiral compounds were converted into their corresponding optically alcohols with moderate to excellent stereopreference depending on the substrate structure. Among ketones tested, nitroacetophenones were enzymatically reduced to enantiopure (S)-alcohol with complete conversion.

No presente trabalho descreve-se a composição química dos óleos essenciais de Rollinia leptopetala R.E. Fries (Annonaceae) e as atividades larvicidas dos óleos essenciais, do extrato metanólico das raízes desta espécie e do alcalóide oxoaporfinico, liriodenina (1), frente às larvas no terceiro estágio do mosquito Aedes aegypti. O extrato metanólico mostrou-se ativo com CL50 64,6 ± 1,5 ppm e uma forte atividade foi exibida para o composto (1), CL50 3,6 ± 0,4 ppm. Os óleos essenciais das folhas e galhos também mostraram atividade com CL50 104,7 ± 0,2 and 34,7 ± 0,3 ppm, respectivamente. Estes dados sugerem que R. leptopetala é fonte potencial de larvicidas naturais. A composição química do óleo essencial e as atividades descritas são comunicadas pela primeira vez.

The aim of present study was to describe the chemical composition of the essential oils from the leaf and stem of Rollinia leptopetala R. E. Fries (Annonaceae) and to evaluate the larvicidal activities of these essential oils, of the methanol extract from roots of this plant and of the oxoaporphine alkaloid, liriodenine (1) against the third-instar of Aedes aegypti larvae. The methanol extract from the roots showed larvicidal activity with LC50 64.6 ± 1.5 ppm. Higher activity was observed for the isolated alkaloid liriodenine (1), LC50 3.6 ± 0.4 ppm. The essential oils from the leaves and stems, also exhibited larvicidal activity with LC50 104.7 ± 0.2 and 34.7 ± 0.3 ppm, respectively. These results suggest R. leptopetala as a source of natural larvicidal compounds. This is the first report about the chemical composition and larvicidal activity of the leaf and stem essential oils of R. leptopetala.
