Teraryl-based alpha-helix mimetics have resulted in efficient inhibitors of protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Extending the concept to even longer oligoarene systems would allow for the mimicking of even larger interaction sites. We present a highly efficient synthetic modular access to quateraryl alpha-helix mimetics, in which, at first, two phenols undergo electrooxidative dehydrogenative cross-coupling. The resulting 4,4′-biphenol is then activated by conversion to nonaflates, which serve as leaving groups for iterative Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-cross-coupling reactions with suitably substituted pyridine boronic acids. This work, for the first time, demonstrates the synthetic efficiency of using both electroorganic as well as transition-metal catalyzed cross-coupling in the assembly of oligoarene structures.

We report here the synthesis and self-assembly studies of a family of benzamide backbone oligomers bearing various alkyl side chains (e.g., isopropyl, isobutyl, and 2-ethylpentyl), which are potential alpha-helix mimetics capable of disrupting protein–protein interactions.

Protein-protein interactions are interesting targets for various drug discovery campaigns. One such promising and therapeutically pertinent protein-protein complex is PfAMA1-PfRON2, which is involved in malarial parasite invasion into human red blood cells. A thorough understanding of the interactions between these macromolecular binding partners is absolutely necessary to design better therapeutics to fight against the age-old disease affecting mostly under-developed nations. Although crystal structures of several PfAMA1-PfRON2 complexes have been solved to understand the molecular interactions between these two proteins, the mechanistic aspects of the domain II loop-PfRON2 association is far from clear. The current work investigates a crucial part of the recognition event; i.e., how the domain II loop of PfAMA1 exerts its effect on the alpha helix of the PfRON2, thus influencing the overall kinetics of this intricate recognition phenomenon. To this end, we have conducted thorough computational investigation of the dynamics and free energetics of domain II loop closing processes using molecular dynamics simulation. The computational results are validated by systematic alanine substitutions of the PfRON2 peptide helix. The subsequent evaluation of the binding affinity of Ala-substituted PfRON2 peptide ligands by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) provides a rank of the relative importance of the residues in context. Our combined (computational and experimental) investigation has revealed that the domain II loop of PfAMA1 is in fact responsible for arresting the PfRON2 molecule from egress, K2027 and D2028 of PfRON2 being the determinant residues for the capturing event. Our study provides a comprehensive understanding of the molecular recognition event between PfAMA1 and PfRON2, specifically in the post binding stage, which potentially can be utilized for drug discovery against malaria.

The inhibition of protein–protein interactions using small molecules is a viable approach for the treatment of a range of pathological conditions that result from a malfunctioning of these interactions. Our strategy for the design of such agents involves the mimicry of side-chain residues on one face of the α-helix; these residues frequently play a key role in mediating protein–protein interactions. The first-generation terphenyl scaffold, with a 3,2′,2″-substitution pattern, is able to successfully mimic key helix residues and disrupt therapeutically relevant interactions, including the Bcl-XL–Bak and the p53–hDM2 (human double minute 2) interactions that are implicated in cancer. The second- and third-generation scaffolds have resulted in greater synthetic accessibility and more drug-like character in these molecules.
