CM1201 WG2/WG4 DNA Bases (hmC fC, caC) Beyond Watson and Crick T. Carell Center for Integrative Protein Science at the Department of Chemistry, Ludwig Maximilians University, Munich, Butenandtstr. 5-13, 81377; e-mail: thomas.carell@lmu.de; www.carellgroup.de Epigenetic information is stored in the form of modified bases in the genome. The positions and the kind of the base modifications determines the identity of the corresponding cell. Setting and erasing of epigenetic imprints controls the complete development process starting from an omnipotent stem cells and ending with an adult specialized cell. I am going to discuss the latest results related to the function and distribution of the epigenetic marker bases 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC), 5-formylcytosine (fC), 5-carboxycytosine (caC) and 5-hydroxymethyluracil.1 These nucleobases control epigenetic programming of stem cells and some of these bases are also detected at relatively high levels in brain tissues. Synthetic routes to these new bases will be discussed that enable today preparation of oligonucleotides containing the new bases. The second part of the lecture will cover mass spectroscopic approaches to decipher the biological functions of the epigenetic bases.2 In particular, quantitative mass spectrometry, new covalent-capture proteomics mass spectrometry and isotope tracing techniques will be discussed, which allow us to unravel the chemistry in stem cells and the protein networks that are controlled by epigenetic modifications.

CM1201 WG2/WG4 Modeling DNA Under External Stress: Photosensitization and Oxidation Antonio Monaria a) Université de Lorraine and CNRS, Theory-Modeling-Simulation, SRMS, France Cells and biological molecules are constantly exposed to the UV/vis radiations or reactive oxygen species. This situation generates an important stress involving both complex photochemical pathways and ground state reaction. The fine comprehension of these rather complicated chemical mechanisms is necessary to rationalize phenomena related to aging and to many diseases such as cancers. The effects of the UV/vis radiation can be expanded by photosensitization, i.e. by the interaction of biological macromolecules with organic or organometallic chromophores that absorb light at relatively long wavelengths. Subsequently, the excited chromophore can induce electron- or energy-transfer to the macromolecule, leading to its degradattion, or favor the production of free radical and triplet oxygen. In this talk we will analyze the interaction of different sensitizers with DNA also comprising artificial nucleobases; multiscale molecular modeling will give us a better understanding of the DNA/photosensitizers aggregates properties and structure. Hybrid QM/MM methods will provide a detailed description of the modification induced by the environment on the photophysical and photochemical properties of different chromophores, and will give access to the energetic profiles related to the lesions’ induction. We will consider both the structural and dynamical effects, in particular concerning the characterization of the sensitizer/DNA aggregate, and the evolution of the excited states landscapes leading to sensitization. Energy- and electron-transfer phenomena will be particularly considered together with the tuning of the complex environment. Moreover we will illustrate how modeling can enlighten the mechanism behind the oxidation of guanine nucleobases in presence of singlet oxygen, and in particular explaining the experimental observed high selectivity. 1T A) Double inserted mode 5 1.34 Å 4 3BP Energy (eV) ξ=0 τ=30.1° 3 0.09 eV 0.74 eV 3T DEDS 2 0 0.125 0.25 0.375 0.5 0.625 0.75 0.875 1 Interpolation coordinate 1BP τ=38.5° ξ=1 References [1] Monari A. et al.

We demonstrated that for a uracil analogue to be an efficient electron acceptor the uracil substituent had to possess significant electron-withdrawing power. On the other hand, in order to assure effective dissociation of the anion, the chemical bond holding together the substituent and uracil residue should be relatively weak. DFT modeling along with negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy enabled 5-thiocyanatouracil, a derivative that has not been tested so far, to be selected out of a number of uracil derivatives as a new, potential radiosensitizer.1 ESR spectra in γ-irradiated nitrogen-saturated frozen aqueous solutions of 5- thiocyanato-2′-deoxyuridine (SCNdU) showed that electron-induced S-CN bond cleavage occurred to form a thiyl radical.2 Furthermore, HPLC and LC-MS/MS studies of γ-irradiated N2-saturated aqueous solutions of SCNdU in presence of an OH-radical scavenger at ambient temperature showed formation of the dU-5S-5S-dU dimer in preference to 2’-deoxyuridine by about 10 to 1 ratio.2 These together with DFT calculations, suggesting the dU-5-S• and CN¯ formation is thermodynamically favored by over 15 kcal/mol (∆G) to dU• and SCN¯ production, show both possible routes of electron-induced bond cleavage to be operative. Thus, our studies establish SCNdU as a potential radiosensitizer that could cause intra- and interstrand crosslinking as well as DNA-protein crosslinking via S-S dimer formation. Acknowledgements.

CM1201 WG2/WG4 Hydrogen atom transfer from cyclohexanes and decalins to alkoxyl radicals. The role of structural effects on the equatorial vs axial C−H bond reactivity Massimo Bietti, Michela Salamone and Vanesa B. Ortega Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Chimiche, Università "Tor Vergata", Via della Ricerca Scientifica, 1 00133 Roma; e-mail: bietti@uniroma2.it Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions play a key role in a variety of important chemical and biological processes such as lipid peroxidation, the oxidative damage to biomolecules and polymers, the antioxidant activity of natural and synthetic radical scavenging antioxidants, the degradation of volatile organic compounds, as well as in an increasing number of synthetically useful C−H functionalization procedures. Among the radicals involved in these processes, alkoxyl radicals have received considerable attention, and cumyloxyl (PhC(CH3)2O , CumO ) has emerged as a very convenient radical for the study of these • • reactions. CumO can be easily generated by photolysis of commercially available dicumyl • peroxide and is characterized by an absorption band in the visible region of the spectrum and a lifetime that allow the direct measurement of rate constants for HAT from a large variety of substrates by means of the laser flash photolysis technique. In this framework, we have recently carried out a detailed time-resolved kinetic studies on HAT from the C−H bonds of cycloalkanes to CumO .1 The role of structural effects on the • reactivity and selectivity patterns observed in these reactions will be discussed, emphasizing in particular the role played by release of 1,3-diaxial strain and by torsional strain on the HAT reactivity of tertiary axial and equatorial C−H bonds of cyclohexanes and decalins.

CM1201 WG2/WG4 Cyclodextrins and Radical Chemistry: a Successful Match Ángeles Martín, Dimitri Álvarez-Dorta, Elisa I. León, Inés Pérez-Martín and Ernesto Suárez Instituto de Productos Naturales y Agrobiología del CSIC, Avenida Astrofísico Francisco Sánchez 3, 38206 La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain; e-mail: angelesmartin@ipna.csic.es Nowadays there is a great interest to design new drug carrier systems for their applications in medical research for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. In this sense, cyclodextrins (CDs) are considered potentially nanocarriers because of their ability to encapsulate biomolecules in their internal cavity.1 Thus, an important effort to modify and improve their chemophysical properties have been made. However, selective modifications in these macrostructures are not easy to carry out due to the torus shape and the large number of hydroxyl groups.2 Based on our previous studies related with the intramolecular 1,8-hydrogen atom transfer (1,8-HAT) reactions in Hexp-(1→4)-Hexp disaccharides systems (e.g., -maltose),3 we wondered whether this radical protocol might be suitably deployed in more complex carbohydrate systems such as CDs where the glucose units are linked in similar fashion. The extension and scope of this radical methodology not only to monoalcohols but also to diols and peralcohols derived from CDs will be discussed in this lecture.4 References [1] a) Todres, Z.

CM1201 WG2/WG4 Myeloperoxidase In Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Multiple Myeloma E.İlker Saygili,a Nur Aksoyb Mustafa Pehlivanc., Tugce Severd., Mehmet Yilmazc., Iclal Geyikli Cimencib and Sacide Pehlivand a) Vocational School of Higher Education for Health Services, b) Department of Biochemistry, c) Department of Hematology, d) Department of Medical Biology, Faculty of Medicine, Gaziantep University, Gaziantep, Turkey e-mail: isaygili@sanko.edu.tr Assoc.Prof.Dr.E.İlker SAYGILI University of SANKO, School of Medicine, Department of Biochemistry. The aim of this study was to investigate how myeloperoxidase (MPO) G-463A gene polymorphism and enzyme levels varied among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma (MM) and to find the relationship between the MPO gene, enzyme levels, and clinical parameters. We studied the sera from 40 healthy volunteers, patients with CLL (n,34) and MM (n,28). In subjects with homozygote GG genotype, MPO levels were higher in the patients with both CLL and MM than in the control group. This difference was statistically significant in patients with CLL. In conclusion, homozygote GG genotype is found to be associated with an increasing amount of serum MPO. In accordance with the results of the study, we assess that the increase in the MPO enzyme level in the patient groups with CLL and MM generated bactericidal effects as well as the increased formation of ROP, thus setting off a pro-cell death pathway and playing a role on the pathogenesis of lymphoproliferative malignancies through this mechanism.1 HOCl, which is formed by MPO in the presence of H2O2 not only causes physiological bactericidal effects in neutrophiles but also causes formation of chlorohydrin and lysophospholipid by influencing lipids.2 It was previously stated that formation of lysophospholipid may alter membrane function and result in cell destruction.3 HOCl might form 5 chlorourasil by influencing DNA. It was reported that 5 chlorourasil formation may be a marker of DNA damage.4 Harmful effect of HOCl in target cell membrane is conducted by attacking membrane –SH or –NH2 groups and membrane denaturation occurs.

CM1201 WG2/WG4 Free Radical Damage to DNA: Mechanisms and Measurement Miral Dizdaroglu National Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, MS8311, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA; e-mail: miral@nist.gov Endogenous and exogenous sources cause free radical-induced DNA damage in living organisms by a variety of mechanisms. The highly reactive hydroxyl radical reacts with the heterocyclic DNA bases and the sugar moiety near or at diffusion-controlled rates. Hydrated electron and H atom also add to the heterocyclic bases. These reactions lead to adduct radicals, further reactions of which yield numerous products. These include DNA base and sugar products, single- and double-strand strand breaks, 8,5'-cyclopurine-2'- deoxynucleosides, tandem lesions, clustered sites and DNA-protein cross-links. Reaction conditions and the presence or absence of oxygen profoundly affect the types and yields of the products. For thorough understanding of mechanisms, cellular repair and biological consequences of DNA damage, accurate measurement of resulting products must be achieved. There is mounting evidence for an important role of free radical-induced DNA damage in the etiology of numerous diseases including cancer. Further elucidation of mechanisms of free radical-induced DNA damage, and cellular repair and biological consequences of DNA damage products will be of outmost importance for disease prevention and treatment. 13

Based on the above, we believe that in order to better understand this complicated response system one should follow a ‘holistic’ approach including all possible mechanisms and at all organism levels. The suggested task is considered of high difficulty. In this presentation, we will first present experimental evidence on how the mammalian cell or organism is expected to respond to complex DNA damage induction i.e. the signature of IR and primary ‘danger signal’ and attempt its repair. At second, we will discuss the extremities of this response i.e. the phenomena of radiosensitivity and radioresistance in bacteria and human cells and insights gained by applying bioinformatics. Last but not least and in the light of our recent work,3 we will present novel suggestions for protein biomarkers involved in DDR/DNA repair and inflammatory/immune response creating a protein network underlining the expected crosstalk between these phenomenically distinct cellular pathways.

CM1201 WG2/WG4 Toward the Total Synthesis of Diketopiperazine Alkaloids Using the Persistent Radical Effect Ullrich Jahna and Tynchtyk Amatova a) Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Flemingovo namesti 2, 16610 Prague 6, Czech Republic; e-mail: jahn@uochb.cas.cz Diketopiperazine alkaloids are a diverse class of alkaloids with wide-ranging biological activities.1 Although a number of strategies for their synthesis have been developed over the years, many of them are limited in their applicability.2 We report here an efficient general approach to diverse structural motifs of bridged diketopiperazines. The key to generate the required structural diversity are stable diketopiperazine alkoxyamines, which are convenient precursors for thermal radical cyclizations employing the persistent radical effect.3 Applications toward the total synthesis of naturally occurring alkaloids and medicinally interesting scaffolds are outlined.

Like its 1,10- phenanthroline analogue [Ru(TAP)2(dppz)]2+ intercalates into DNA, as is confirmed by our recent high resolution X-Ray crystal structures.[1] Using the same defined sequence nucleic acids as used for the crystal studies, we have carried out complementary time-resolved mid- infra-red (TRIR) and visible spectroscopic measurements which provide new insights into the nature and the reactivity of the excited states and their interactions at particular binding sites.[2] The subsequent reactions of the reduced photosensitiser and the one-electron oxidised guanine are readily monitored.

CM1201 WG2/WG4 Click nucleic acid ligation: Chemistry and applications Tom Brown Department of Chemistry University of Oxford. email: tom.brown@chem.ox.ac.uk Click ligation utilizes the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC reaction). It is an efficient method of joining together DNA and RNA strands and has been used for the synthesis of cyclic oligonucleotides,1-3 oligonucleotide catenanes,2 very stable cyclic mini- duplexes, 1 duplexes that are linked across the major groove,4 covalently fixed DNA nanoconstructs5 and large RNA constructs.6 The method produces an unnatural DNA backbone linkage that can be varied by changing the structures of the participating alkyne and azide.7 Careful design produced a biocompatible DNA backbone (Figure 1) that can be read through by DNA8 and RNA polymerases.9 A high-resolution NMR study revealed that the linkage in Figure 1B is accommodated in a B-DNA helix with minor distortion.10 This methodology has recently been used to characterise a new form of stretched DNA.11 Copper- free click DNA strand ligation and crosslinking can also be carried out if strained cyclooctyne analogues are used (Figure 2).12 This method has the advantage of being potentially valuable for in vivo applications as it does not require metal ion catalysis. Recent developments in this field will be discussed. Figure 1. First generation triazole DNA (A), biocompatible linkage (B) and normal DNA (C). Figure 2.

CM1201 WG2/WG4 Understanding antioxidant properties of natural compounds (polyphenols) at an atomistic-scale Patrick Trouillasa,b, Gabin Fabre, Michal Biler, Tahani Ossman, and Benjamin Chantemargue, a) 1 INSERM-S850, School of Pharmacy, Université de Limoges, Limoges, France b) Regional Centre of Advanced Technologies and Materials, Palacký University, Olomouc, Czech Republic; e-mail: patrick.trouillas@unilim.fr Quantum calculations (mainly DFT) and molecular dynamics simulations are increasingly effective tools to evaluate the physical chemical properties of antioxidants. Free Radical Scavenging Capacity.1 Thermodynamic parameters (mainly O-H phenolic bond dissociation enthalpies, BDE) allowed an accurate prediction of the antioxidant capacity of natural polyphenols. Based on the Transition State and the Marcus theories (for atom- and electron-transfers, respectively), kinetics was also evaluated providing a better prediction of the antioxidant behavior in solution or in the organism. Further oxidative reactions following the primary redox event were also studied for flavonoids and stilbenoids, which figure out part of the pro-oxidant effects. Interaction with Lipid Bilayer Membranes.2 Membrane penetration / accumulation / crossing / positioning play a crucial role in antioxidant delivery, metabolism and action in the human body. Over the past decade, in silico membrane models and MD simulations have appeared much promising, complementary to experimental measurements, to predict antioxidant- membrane interaction. Theoretical MD simulations have been performed to provide an accurate picture of the intermolecular interaction between antioxidants and lipid bilayer membranes, thus predicting location, orientation and partitioning. We really aim at using advanced molecular modeling methods for an applicative purpose to e.g., cosmetic industries. The predictive character of these methods allows building molecular guidelines for a better and safer use of antioxidants. References [1] a) Trouillas, P. et al.

CM1201 WG2/WG4 Cell-based- and kinetic analyses of the modulation of the intrinsic activity of glucose transporter-4 by the non- metabolisable glucose analogue 3-O-methyl-D-glucose Shlomo Sasson Institute for Drug Research, Dept. of Pharmacology, The Hebrew University Faculty of Medicine, Jerusalem, Israel; e-mail: shlomo.sasson@mail.huji.ac.il Type-2 diabetes is a serious health problem affecting over 200 million people worldwide. The prevalence of the disease is increasing, particularly among youth and young adults, in parallel with the continuing rise in obesity and is expected to affect 300 million people by year of 2020. The cost of treating diabetes complications imposes a tremendous burden on healthcare resources, and there has been limited success in achieving the treatment targets, which are clearly associated with reduced risks of complications and mortality. Most Type-2 diabetic patients that fail to normalize their blood glucose levels by a proper diet and adequate physical activity are usually treated with different types of oral anti-hyperglycemic drugs. These drugs act primarily on pancreatic beta cells to increase and/or potentiate insulin secretion or to augment peripheral insulin sensitivity, primarily in skeletal muscles and the liver. In many cases these drugs progressively become ineffective due to the deterioration of beta cells function and mass and/or the development of severe peripheral insulin resistance. The majority of these patients therefore resort to insulin treatment by injections, like in Type- 1 diabetes. We have recently discovered that the non-metabolisable glucose analogue, 3-O- methy-D-glucose (MeGlc), increases the rate of glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells by augmenting the intrinsic activity of glucose transporter-4 (GLUT-4). Hitherto no other carbohydrates that can allosterically augment the intrinsic activity of the transporter have been reported. In the course of our study we have developed a simple kinetic analysis that provides an effective platform for screening and discovering allosteric modulators of GLUT-4. This method measures the impact of an allosteric modulator (e.g., MeGlc) on the competitive inhibitory kinetics of indinavir, a GLUT-4 inhibitor, using hexose transport assays in cultured myotubes. We believe that these findings and method of analysis can become useful for the design, synthesis and screening of novel MeGlc derivatives that can allosterically increase the intrinsic activity of GLUT-4, and further for the development a novel class of antihyperglycaemic drugs. 19

In this context, we investigated various radical transformations involving photoreduction of ketoepoxides, ketoaziridines,2 onium salts3-4 and O-thiocarbamates5 and photooxidation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.6 The use of visible-light photoredox catalysis had a tremendous impact not only in organic chemistry, but also in polymer chemistry. Quite recently, reactive systems exploiting the redox properties of copper and iridium catalysts in the presence of light have been developed. In this field, we report here the first gold-catalyzed photoATRP process of methacrylates and acrylates.7 References [1] For general reviews on photoredox catalysis in organic synthesis, see: (a) Narayanam, M.

Gobetti 101, 40129 Bologna, Italy; b) Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, N.C.S.R. “Demokritos”, 15341 Agia Paraskevi, Athens, Greece; e-mail: annalisa.masi@isof.cnr.it 5′,8-cyclo-2′-deoxypurines (cdPus) are typical DNA lesions resulting from endogenous and environmental free radical stress. The interest in these lesions is connected with the mechanism of their formation due to the HO• attack at the H5′ atom of the 2-deoxyribose moiety, followed by intramolecular cyclization between C5′-C8 bond and subsequent oxidation of the resulting N7-radical.1,2 Two diastereomeric cdPus are formed in the 5′R and 5′S forms (Fig.1). The two diastereomeric forms are repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER) with different efficiency, the 5′R isomer being 2 times more efficiently repaired than the 5′S isomer. Molecular dynamics simulation elucidated that 5′R diastereoisomeric forms cause greater DNA backbone distortions than the 5′S diastereomers, thus theoretically supporting a different efficiency of NER3 mechanism. We recently discovered that DNA polymerase β (pol β) has different behavior with 5′R-cdA lesion (efficiently bypassed) than 5′S-cdA (inefficiently bypassed) during DNA replication and base excision repair (BER),4,5 highlighting that the nature of the DNA lesion can play a crucial role in biological processes. The diastereoisomeric 5′S- and 5′R-cdPus lesions are discussed in terms of differences in: i. Synthetic strategy and automated synthesis efficiency. ii. Physical-chemical properties (MD simulations, NMR, Melting Temperature) iii. Biological Activity in vitro References [1] Chatgilialoglu, C.;Ferreri, C.; Terzidis, M.A. Chem.Soc.Rev. 2011, 40, 1153.
