The present review retraces the origin of mackinazolinone and compares the different chemical routes to synthesize the natural product, through different methods including classical batch synthesis, solid-phase supported synthesis, microwaved irradiation and photochemistry. A panel of about 70 mackinazolinone analogues and derivatives is presented to illustrate the diversity of chemical approaches and structures. The pharmacology of mackinazolinone has been little investigated but derivatives with antibacterial or anticancer properties have been identified. The molecular targets for these compounds are essentially unknown, but a few proteins of interest have been evoked occasionally, such as the EGFR kinase. The natural product mackinazolinone has largely inspired chemists to develop novel products and chemical processes. Hopefully, the review will now encourage pharmacologists to further explore the properties of these quinazolinones as potential anti-infectious, anticancer and/or neuroprotective agents.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":255,"journal":{"name":"Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry","volume":"117 ","pages":"Article 118018"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142700368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similar to lysine methylation, reader proteins that bind site-specific modified proteins are key mediators for arginine methylation functions. Some arginine methylation has been shown significant functions from phenotype, but the molecular mechanisms remain elusive, probably due to lack of identification of the readers. Current methods rely on methylarginine peptide tools for pull-down or binding assays, but affinities to readers are usually tens to hundreds micromolar. As a consequence, development of chemical probes that crosslink specific readers is much in demand. We recently reported a methyllysine reader-selective crosslinking strategy by sulfonium peptides.

Arginine methylation readers contain aromatic cages for methylarginine binding, that is the similar binding mechanism for methyllysine. Therefore, we developed sulfonium probes that mimic methylarginine and crosslink tryptophan or tyrosine inside reader binding pockets. Because the single electron transfer from aromatic residue to sulfonium is binding-dependent, the conjugation showed high selectivity.

This review explores the advancements in ADC technologies, focusing on advancing next-generation ADCs with novel payloads, conjugation strategies, and enhanced pharmacokinetic profiles. In particular, we highlight innovative payloads, including microtubule inhibitors, spliceosome modulators, and RNA polymerase inhibitors, that offer new mechanisms of cytotoxicity beyond traditional apoptosis induction. Additionally, the introduction of sophisticated conjugation techniques, such as site-specific conjugation using engineered cysteines, enzymatic methods, and integration of non-natural amino acids, has greatly improved the homogeneity, efficacy, and safety of ADCs. Furthermore, the review delves into the mechanistic insights into ADC action, detailing the intracellular pathways that facilitate drug release and cell death, and discussing the significance of bioconjugation methods in optimizing drug-antibody ratios (DARs). The establishment of comprehensive databases like ADCdb, which catalog vital pharmacological and biological data for ADCs, is also explored as a critical resource for advancing ADC research and clinical application. Finally, the clinical landscape of ADCs is examined, with a focus on the evolution of FDA-approved ADCs, such as Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin and Trastuzumab Emtansine, as well as emerging candidates in ongoing trials. As ADCs continue to evolve, their potential to revolutionize cancer therapy remains immense, offering new hope for more effective and personalized treatment options. ADCs also offer a significant advancement in targeted cancer therapy by merging the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with cytotoxic potency of chemotherapeutic agents. Hence, this dual mechanism intensifies tumor selectivity while minimizing systemic toxicity, paving the way for more effective and safer cancer treatments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":255,"journal":{"name":"Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry","volume":"117 ","pages":"Article 118010"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142700367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
