Master Thesis Studies Toward the Asymmetric Synthesis of Ester Functionalized Novel 1,4-Oxazepine Derivatives(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Bozoğlu, Hülya; Çağır, Ali; Çağır, Ali; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of ScienceThe MDM2/p53 is one of the most widely studied protein-protein interaction because of being a valuable target for the development of novel anticancer agents. MDM2 protein is the natural inhibitor of p53 protein which act as a tumor suppressor. When MDM2 is overexpressed, damaged DNA is allowed to replicate and therefore cancerous cells can be generated because p53 has lost of its activity. For this reason; maintaining the activity of wild-type p53 through inhibition of MDM2 can stop the proliferation of cancer cells. New drugs that inhibit this interaction are important for the treatment of cancer. The aim of the study is synthesize chiral 1,4-oxazepine-5-one derivatives. (R)-2-amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetic acid was used as starting material for the synthesis. The first step was a trityl protection of amine with trityl chloride. Trityl protected amino acid was reduced to N-Trt amino alcohol with LiAlH4 then oxidized to aldehyde by using Dess-Martin periodinane. The resulting aldehyde was reacted with 3-chlorophenylmagnesium bromide. Up to this part of the synthesis, reactions were performed successfully. Then trityl group was removed by TFA and amino alcohol was obtained. Then addition of several α,β-unsaturated carbonyls to the deprotected amino alcohol was studied by coupling reagents such as HATU. Afterwards we performed some intramolecular cyclization attempts but all cyclization attempts were failed.Master Thesis Studies Toward the Asymmetric Synthesis of Novel Chiral 1,4-Oxazepan Derivatives(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Vural, Ezgi; Çağır, Ali; Çağır, Ali; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of SciencePharmacophore design to inhibit the interaction between p53 and MDM2 became a novel approach for cancer therapy. p53, known as the guardian of genome, controls the cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and DNA repair under stress. Nonetheless, when over-expressed, MDM2 causes proliferation in the cell and eventually tumorgenesis. The feedback mechanism between p53 and MDM2 arises from the interaction of p53 through the hydrophobic cleft which consists of Phe19, Trp23 and Leu26 aminoacids in the N-terminal of MDM2. In this study, it was aimed to synthesize a new, chiral 1,4-oxazepan-5-one derivatives by asymmetric synthesis. (R)-2-amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetic acid was used as starting material. Amino group was protected by trityl group then the carboxylic acid part was reduced by LiAlH4 to produce N-trityl-protected amino alcohol. Dess Martin periodinane was used for the oxidation of the alcohol to the aldehyde, then 3-chlorophenylmagnesium bromide was added to the aldehyde by Grignard reaction. Deprotection of N-trityl was performed with TFA then, coupling reactions of produced aminoalcohol with different α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids were performed by HATU and DIPEA. Despite all of the attempts, cyclization to seven membered 1,4-oxazepan-5-one ring was never achieved.
