Furthermore, the development of the medicinal chemistry as both a pure and an applied science is considered to have a significant impact upon it 1. A boost of medicinal chemistry is based on development of such disciplines like combinatorial chemistry, compounds identification (e.g. NMR), automated synthesis etc., but also organo-fluorine and organo-phosphorus chemistry, which recently have taken an important effect on the synthesis and design of a wide variety of biologically active compounds. First of all, combinatorial chemistry has become recently one of the most important methodologies in the field of medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. It was developed by scientist, whose aim was to reduce costs and time connected with designing new and effective drugs by taking into account the fact that finding a novel drug is very often associated with a complex and complicated process. Combinatorial chemistry bases on rapid synthesis and computer simulation. In addition, it focuses on “one compound per well” instead of complex mixture of compounds. Secondly, the importance of fluorine in medicinal chemistry is well recognized. Indeed, an increasing number of drugs on the market contain fluorine, the presence of which often is of major importance to activity 2. The introduction of the fluorine or perfluoroalkyl groups into molecules as well as the replacement of the hydrogen atom and/or hydroxyl group by the fluorine atom is a widely used strategy in drug development 3,4. The advantages in designing new pharmaceuticals are related to the special properties of fluorine: its small size and high electronegativity. Fluorine substitution in a drug molecule can influence not only physicochemical properties but also pharmacokinetic properties like absorption, tissue distribution, secretion, - 13 - Introduction pharmacodynamics and toxicology [Figure 1] 5. At present more than two hundred pharmaceuticals containing fluor are available and new are appearing 6. They have found application as volatile anaesthetics 7, as antifungal 8, antibacterial 9, antiinflammatory 10 , anti-depressant compounds 11 etc. Moreover, it was discovered that fluorinated analogues of naturally occurring biologically compounds including amino acids exhibit unique activities 12. FLUORINE SUBSTITUTION PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES - bond strength - lipophilicity - conformation - electrostatic potential - dipole and pKa PHARMACOKINETIC PROPERTIES - tissue distribution - clearance - route of metabolism - rate of metabolism PHARMACOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES - pharmacodynamics - toxicology Figure 1 The effect of fluorine substitution on drug discovery Thirdly, organophosphorus chemistry, being ignored for many years, recently has achieved important and well-recognized place in the search for new drugs 13 . Organophosphorus chemistry, as a discrete area of study, is the study of compounds containing a C-P bond 14 . Its present impact on the field of medicinal chemistry is even difficult to quantify. Among the list of all organophosphorus compounds the main place is occupied by phosphonates and bisphosphonates, which have found huge application as pharmaceuticals. For instance, derivatives of - 14 - Introduction phosphonic acid are used in the synthesis of different alpha-aminophosphonic acids which are considered to be structural analogues of the corrensponding alpha-amino acids. It is noteworthy that, their negligible mammalian toxicity, and the fact that they very efficiently mimic aminocarboxylic acids makes them extremely important antimetabolites in the process of designing new drugs 15 . On the other side, bisphosphonates have been found recently as an ideal therapeutic agent for treatment of different bone diseases. Their capability to chelate metal ions and inhibit crystals growth but also a strong affinity to bone was used in synthesizing new drugs by many pharmaceuticals companies 16. Interestingly, the list of compounds designed and synthesized as new drugs, every year is quite long and various. Without any doubt, highlights of this list are matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMPIs). Recent evidences concerning MMPIs as potential drugs in the treatment of different pathologies have expanded considerable attention. There is a presumption that the main focus of research in nearest futures will belong to the development of novel, less toxic and more effective inhibitors of MMPs. Mainly, they seem to be attractive cancer target; they have multiple signaling activities that are commonly altered during tumorgenesis that might serve as intervention points for anticancer drugs 17 . Moreover, MMPs are involved in the regulation of bone remodeling. It is commonly known that the activity of these enzymes is important for activating osteoclasts to resorb bone 18 . Thus, they can represent a potential class of drugs for pharmacological treatment of bone diseases, like osteoporosis. Remarkable, MMPs have been used to cure cardiovascular diseases 19 . Despite of this, they are useful targets in treatment of arthritis, restenosis, pulmonary emphysema, multiple sclerosis and stroke 20. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also called matrixins, are a class of Zncontaining , Ca2+- dependent multifunctional proteins with major functions in the degredation and remodeling of all components of the extracellular matrix (*), 21-23 . MMPs are regulated by hormones, growth factors, and cytokines, and are involved in ovarian functions. Endogenous MMP inhibitors (MMPIs) and tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) strictly control these enzymes. Overexpression of MMPs results in an imbalance between the activity of MMPs and TIMPs that can lead to a variety of pathological disorders like: Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, arthritis, rheumatoid etc 25,26. - 15 - Introduction Currently, 29 human matrix metalloproteinases has been identified. MMPs can be classified according to their substrates into: collagenases, gelatinases, stromelysins, membrane type MMPs (MT-MMPs) and matrilysin (**), 27 [Figure 2]. As mentioned before, MMPs contain Zn atom which structural role is essential for understanding the mechanism of action of these proteinases. The Zn2+ ion present at the active sites of these enzymes is crucial for enzymatic activity. Therefore, virtually all attempts to develop inhibitors have been based on “ion-binding-groups” (ZBG) 28. Figure 2 Structural domains of MMPs Initially, the amino acid sequence around the collagenase cleavage in collagen has been taken as the guide for the substrate-based design approach for synthetic inhibitors 23 . However, many of the unnatural amino acids - inhibitors of the MMP were at the same time designed and optimized 29,30. ------------------------------------* The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex structural entity surrounding organs and tissues of the human body. The ECM plays role in cell-cell signalling, wound repair, and cell adhesion and tissues 24 formation . ** See Chapter 9- Appendix, List of MMPs - 16 - Introduction Later, it was predicted that the requirement for a molecule to be an effective inhibitor of this class of enzymes is a functional group (ZBG). Furthermore, at least one functional group should provide a hydrogen bond interaction with the enzyme backbone, and one or more side chains should undergo effective van der Waals interaction with the enzymesubsites 28 . By using this approach, many scientist groups’ taking advantage from combinatorial chemistry and structure- based design, have started to discover a number of different ZBG functional groups. Hitherto, many new potent inhibitors of MMPs have been synthesized and their excellent examples are derivatives of hydroxamic, carboxylic, phosphonic, carbamoylphosphonic and bisphosphonic acids etc. Among this list, the overwhelming majority belongs to a hydroxamic acid. Its low toxicity and ability to form abidentate chelate with the zinc atom in the enzyme’s active site is considered to be an important functional feature metalloenzyme inhibition, namely as inhibitors of metalloproteinase 31 . Over the last decades compounds containing derivatives of hydroxamic acid have undergone rapid clinical development. As a result of many studies, on the market appeared new anticancer drugs 32 (inhibitors of MMPs): Batimastat (BB-94) 12-9566 35 33 , Marimastat (BB-2516) 34 , Bay [Figure 3].

Recently, Breuer et al. 39,40 have introduced a new class of in vivo active MMPIs: alkyl- and cycloalkylcarbamoyl phosphonic acids which possess significant antiangiogenic activity, which enhances the anticancer effect of the drugs. Examined by them the acylphosphonic acid (oxophosphonic acids) derivatives have shown to inhibit MMP-2. Noteworthy, the acylphosphonic group is capable to chelate calcium with the formation of the five-membered ring, resembling the mode of zinc chelation by a hydroxamate function in MMP inhibitors 41. In addition, it was discovered that various matrix metalloproteinases are inhibited in vitro by several bisphosphonates 41 . Recently, Nakaya and co-workers 42 have demonstrated an inhibitory effect of bisphosphonates (especially Tiludronate) on the activity of both MMP-1 and MMP-3. Going into details, bisphosphonates have shown to inhibit host degradative enzymes in human periodontal ligament cells. Their results support the continued investigation of these drugs as potential therapeutic agents in treatment of periodontal diseases. Additional, bisphosphonates have been found to inhibit tumour growth and metastasis in some tumours such as breast cancer. Cheng et al. 43 demonstrated that Alendronate downregulates MMP-2 secretion and induces apoptosis in osteosarcoma cells, which may both contribute to the reduction of invasive potential of the tumour cells [Figure 4].

In summary, currently there is an acute need for the design of new ZBGs which can become a new generation of drugs useful on the life-long treatment of many diseases characterized by excessive remodelling of degradation of ECM such as tumor, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis etc. Furthermore, there is a need for new strategies which can be employed to design effective drugs such as inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase and at the same time can highlight the strenghts and drawbacks of each approach. Obviously, the design of the MMP inhibitors demonstrates the synergy between medicinal chemistry, structural biology and molecular remodelling. Using this approach, the development of effective matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors can consider the main focus of research efforts in the future. - 19 - Aim of the study Chapter 2 Aim of the study In recent years, many efforts have been spent on the development of the inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase. Experimental evidence confirms that they play a significant role in a treatment of serious pathologies. For instance, nearly three- decade long trials for discovering MMP inhibitors with anticancer efficiency have brought only disappointing results. Nowadays, many groups dissect different classes of zinc chelators (ZBG). Till now, several peptide and non-peptide based ZBGs have been identified like: hydroxymate, carboxylate, derivatives of phosphoric acid, derivatives of sulphuric acid and thiols [Figure 5]. Obviously, the new challenges include the development of new inhibitors bearing more effective ZBGs as well as the development of new allosteric non-zinc binding inhibitors 44.

In another words, we were interested in synthesizing potent drug - 20 - Aim of the study candidates and characterizing them from chemical point of view. Indeed, we paid our attention on finding facile routes for the synthesis of compounds which can possess properties of inhibiting the action of secreted enzymes involved in connective tissue breakdown such as collagenases, gelatinases, and stromelysin etc. Furthermore, it has been our an ongoing aim to develop highly efficient methods for introducing to the new ZBGs fluorine atoms or fluorinated groups by taking into account that their presence in the molecule is bringing excellent changes. In particular, in terms of drug design, fluorine substitution can be used to alter the rate of drug metabolism and thereby produce a drug with a longer duration of action 5. The first part (Chapter 3.1) focuses on syntheses of the compounds possessing N-oxalyl and N-phosphonoformyl groups- potential candidate molecules for the design of novel inhibitors of medically important enzymes. Our library design of these molecules firstly we planned by the synthesis of new imines of methyl trifluoropyruvates bearing ZBGs at the nitrogen [Scheme 1, entries 7, 8, Route A], based on the reaction of methyltrifluoropyruvate (2) with ethyloxamate (3) and diethyl carbamoylphosphonate (4), respectively, followed by dehydratation. Furthermore, reaction of imines with different nucleophiles [Scheme 1, Route B] could easily transform them into useful synthetic intermediates (fluorinated amino acid derivatives-potential drug derivatives), taking into account their electrophilic character.

Interestingly, Į-amino acids containing Tfm groups are of particular interest due to its unique characteristic, such as high electronegativity, electron density etc. Obviously it can serve as a “final push” towards higher activity and stability after rational design. The second part (Chapter 3.2) concerns the chemistry of bisphosphonates. Recently, they have become promising targets in inhibiting MMPs, for example Alendronate is capable to inhibit MMP-2 43 . We strongly believe that synthesis of the new derivatives of bisphosphonates could bring novel family of highly potent drugs useful in the treatment of much pathology. Among all the commonly known methods, the approach based on the Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) introduced recently by Sharpless 135,136 seems to be highly versatile and effective choices for rapid synthesis. Moreover, we assumed that click chemistry could give us high-throughput strategy for assembling bisphosphonate molecules with different compounds. It is noteworthy to add that this methodology is providing a subtle method for introducing triazoles to the molecules of bisphosphonates, which can be mimicked by peptides. Our library design of functionalized bisphosphonate we planned to base by the synthesis of mono- and diproparygl bisphosphonates- first counterparts for click reaction and different azides- second counterpart [Figure 6].

Each sub-chapter contains general remarks concerning a given class of compounds and the discussion connected with the presented results. The chapter is divided into three parts due to the different ZBGs: synthesis of N-oxalyl and N-phosphonoformyl derivatives of Į-Tfm Į-amino acids, synthesis of a new class of nitrogen containing bisphosphonates and finally synthesis of a new fluorinated bisphosphonates. 3.1 N-Oxalyl and N-phosphonoformyl derivatives of Į-Tfm Į-amino acids - potential inhibitors of MMPs 3.1.1 Unnatural amino acids The interest in amino acids (AAs) and their derivatives has existed for many years 45 . Amino acids are the basic building units (monomers) of proteins. They possess ability to form shorter or longer polymers called peptides or polypeptides. A molecule of amino acid contains an amino (-NH2) and carboxyl groups (-COOH) attached to the same Į-carbon (this term refers to alpha-amino acids) - [Figure 7]. Besides, amino acids differ from each other the side chain (R). - 25 - Results and discussion Figure 7 Structure of amino acids (AAs) The last decade has witnessed a great revolution of chemists and biochemists giving the ability to incorporate the unnatural amino acids into proteins (different from the canonical twenty). That has become a powerful tool for illuminating the principles of protein design. Moreover, peptides modified by non-proteinogenic amino acids are useful building blocks for drug discovery that unnatural amino metalloproteinases acids 46 . There are many evidences suggesting possess high affinity in inhibiting matrix 47-50 . Therefore, the development of new synthetic pathways to unnatural amino acids containing different functionalities remains a constant challenge 51. 3.1.2 Oxamic and phosphonoformic acid Because of our major interest in designing compounds with functional groups capable of binding to the zinc(II) site in the MMPs we decided to examine two amines: ethyl oxamate and diethylcarbamoylphosphonate [Figure 8]. - 26 - Results and discussion O O OEt OEt H2N H2N P OEt O O Diethyl carbamoylphosphonate Ethyl oxamate Figure 8 Ethyl oxamate and diethylcarbamoylphosphonate - active ZBGs In general, both oxamic and phosphonoformic acid possess interesting ligating possibilities which play a crucial role in inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases. In this connection, hydroxamic acid derivatives like oxaloglycine are commonly known to inhibit prolyl hydroxylase involved in the biosynthesis of collagen 52,53 . On the other side, phosphonoformic acid derivatives like phosphonoformate (Foscarnet) are effective antiviral compounds medicinally used in the treatment of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), HSV-1 and HSV-2 (herpes simplex virus), CMV (cytomegalosvirus) retinitis etc 54,55 . It is noteworthy to add, that acylphosphonates are capable to interfere with biological processes involving calcium and hydroxyapatite 56 . The acylphosphonic group (1-oxophosphonic), in particular carbamoylphosphonic, was shown to chelate calcium with the formation of a fivemembered ring [Figure 9], resembling the mode of zinc chelation by a hydroxamate function in MMP inhibitors 57-59 . Interestingly, carbamoylphosphonates are potent inhibitors of MMP, while phosphonic acid lacking the Į-carbonyl groups does not inhibit MMPs. - 27 - Results and discussion O O R H N C P O O R O H N M C O P O O O R H N C P O O O M M I III II M = Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu Figure 9 Coordination of the carbamoylphosphonate to a metal ion: (I) monodentate manner, (II) fourmembered ring, (III) five-membered ring between the oxygen’s of the two functional groups Ethyl oxamate for our experiments was purchased from Sigma- Aldrich company, while diethylcarbamoylphosphonate was synthesized according to procedure given by Breuer et al 39, 40 [Scheme 6].

This reaction is referred as MichaelsArbuzov rearrangement. During this transformation tervalent phosphorus is converted into pentavalent phosphorus. Next, the addition of the ammonia leads to the desired carbamoylphosphonate, which can be used as a starting compound for further transformations. The strong nucleophilic amino group is opening up the possibility of this phosphonate to react with many different electrophilies like e.g. methyltrifluoropyruvate (MTFP). - 28 - Results and discussion 3.1.3 Fluorinated amino acids (FAAs) The man-made area of fluorinated amino acids (FAAs) takes the most important place in the family of unusual aminoacids 45 . Most importantly, fluorinated amino acids have recently emerged as valuable building blocks for designing hyperstable protein folds, as well as directing highly specific protein-protein interaction 46,60 . The synthesis and design of new fluorinated inhibitors of MMPs containing side chains with fluorine atom or fluorine groups 61 has become an important part in the field of biologically active organofluorine chemistry and is of current interest. The side chain RF was found to be critical not only for potency but could also dramatically influence the enzyme selectivity profile of the inhibition 62. Interestingly, the introduction of fluorine atom or fluorine containing groups into the desired molecule is very often accomplished with remarkable changes of its biological and chemical activity. Obviously, the fluorine atom is not a sterically demanding substituent (van der Waals radii r(F) = 1.35 Å, r(H) = 1.20 Å) and the C-F bond is 0.4 Å longer that the C-H bond 63. Moreover, amino acids containing trifluoromethyl (Tfm) groups are an attractive choice because they are reasonably isosteric to their nonfluorinated counterparts issue 64 . The steric bulk of a trifluoromethyl group is still a controversial , however its presence in Į-position of an aminoacid exerts considerable 65 polarization effects on the neighbouring substituents 66 . This structural alternation influences the hydrolytic stability of peptides containing Tfm amino acids resulting in retarded degradation by peptidases and, consequently, in prolonged intrinsic activity. In spite of this, due to the high electron density, the Tfm group is capable of participating in hydrogen bonding as a hydrogen receptor 66-68 . This can provide additional interactions within the MMPs active sites. Noteworthy, Tfm group can inhibit potency of MMPs 69,70 . Furthermore, the large size and volume of Tfm groups, in combination with the low polarizability of fluorine atoms leads to enhanced hydrophobicity 71 . Finally, the incorporation of the fluorine into the molecule of AAs brings opportunity to monitor their conformational properties and metabolic processes. - 29 - Results and discussion All fluorinated amino acids according to Qing et al.72 can be grouped into three main classes [Figure 10]: ¾ Fluorinated Į-amino acids Monofluorinated Į-amino acids Gem-Difluoromethylated Į-amino acids Trifluoromethylated and polyfluorinated Į-amino acids ¾ Fluorinated ȕ-amino acids Monofluorinated ȕ-amino acids Gem-Difluoromethylated ȕ-amino acids ¾ Fluorinated cyclic amino acids F3C H2N CF3 R CO2R F3C CO2H BzHN N CO2R OH Boc R = Bz, Et, Me, Allyl 73 A R = Me74 R = Me75 B C Figure 10 Main classes of Tfm-AAs; A: Trifluoromethylated Į-amino acids, B: Trifluoromethylated ȕ-amino acids, C: Trifluoromethylated cyclic amino acids Without any doubt, the class of trifluoromethylated Į-amino acids has been considered as one of the most interesting biologically compounds taking into consideration the fact that they can inhibit the action of various phosphate-dependent enzymes, such as alanine racemases or decarboxylases 76-78. Our efforts connected with designing unnatural amino acids possessing abilities to inhibit MMPs concerned attachment of fluorinated counterpart, namely trifluoromethylated group (Tfm) to oxamic and phosphonoformic moieties. Most importantly, electrophilic methyl trifluoropyruvate imines are excellent precursors for synthesis of different cyclic and acyclic Į-Tfm amino acids - 30 - 79 . Results and discussion Moreover, the chemistry of fluorine- containing imines may rightfully be considered as one of the most interesting areas of fluorine chemistry 80. 3.1.3.1 Synthesis of methytrifluoropyruvate (MTFP) Recently, different methyl trifluoropyruvate imines, bearing on the nitrogen atom different functional groups, have been synthesized [Figure 11] 81-84 from methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvate (MTFP) and corresponding amines.

At the beginning, commercially available hexafluoroprepene-1,2-oxide (HFPO) (1) reacts with methanol giving the product of the methanolysis - methyl 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2methoxypropanoate (1a). Then the addition of concentrated sulphuric acid (96%) leads to the desired methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvate (2). 3.1.4 Chemistry of new fluorinated imines containing N-oxalyl and phosphonoformyl groups In our studies, we found that methyltrifluoropyruvate (2) had reacted readily with amines: ethyl oxamate (3) and diethylcarbamoylphosphonate (4) [Scheme 8, 9] at room temperature in the absence of any solvent giving analytically pure amines (5) and (6) in a high yield [Scheme 8, 9]. Both amines are stable in a dry inert atmosphere. Next, we investigated the conversion of the amines into imines. According to some data 80,88 , the dehydratation conditions for hemiaminal compounds are directly dependent on the electron-accepting properties of the substituents at the ketone carbonyl carbon atom and the basicity of the amino group. Taking into consideration above mentioned, we followed the procedure proposed by Osipov and Burger 89,90 using trifluoroacetic anhydride/pyridine as dehydrating agent. As a result of the rapid transformation of the both hemiamidals of - 32 - Results and discussion methyltrifluoropyruvates, we afforded the corresponding imines (7) and (8) [Scheme 8, 9].

Much of our effords for achieving completely pure product failed. Indeed, imine (8) characterized by F NMR [δ: -71.3 (s, CF3)] and 19 31 P NMR [δ: -2.2 (m)] was used as a crude product for further transformation. Generally, imines have a planar trigonal framework of a sp2 carbon and a sp2 nitrogen atom. Each uses one sp2 orbital to form a ı bond to the other atom and a p orbital to form a ʌ bond to the other atom. The carbon uses two sp2 orbitals and the nitrogen one sp2 orbitalt to form ı bonds to the substituents (in our case three powerful electron-withdrawing groups) [Figure 12]. p orbitals overlap to form a C-N "pi" bond C-C "sigma" bond between sp2 orbitals on carbon and nitrogen lone pair in sp2 orbital F3C trigonal planar sp2 carbon C trigonal planar sp2 nitrogen N MeO2C R R = C(O)OEt; C(O)P(O)(OEt)2 Figure 12 Orbitals structures of methyltrilfuoropyruvate imines 7 and 8 As already mentioned, the new imines are stable only in inert atmosphere of nitrogen because of their ability to become hydrolysed by water. The low stability of the new imines can be explained by the presence of electropositive groups (acceptors) on the nitrogen namely oxalyl and phosphonoformyl derivatives in contrast to stable oximes, hydrazones and semicarbazones in which the nitrogen atom carries electronegative groups. For instance oximes are more stable than typical imines because the electronegative substituent can participate in delocalization of the imine double bond. Delocalization decreases the į+ charge on the carbon atom of the imine double bond C=N and raises the energy of the LUMO, making it less susceptible to nucleophilic attack 91. - 34 - Results and discussion Our aim was to study the characteristic features of the behaviour of the methyl trifluoropyruvates imines possessing three powerful electron withdrawing groups and synthesize their derivatives. To investigate our presumption concerning electrophilic nature of methyl trifluoropyruvates imines we used the following reactions: reactions with organometallic reagents, reactions with ʌ-donor heteroaromatic compounds and reduction reactions. 3.1.4.1 Reactions of the methyltrifluoropyruvates (MTFP) imines containing Noxalyl and N-phosphonoformyl groups with Grignard reagents Examining the nature of the new imines, firstly we focused on reaction of imines with Grignard reagents; the addition of organometallics to imines is a common approach to synthesize amines. There have been published numerous literatures concerning the addition of the organometallic reagent to imines 92 and it is commonly known that this addition can proceed normally on the carbon atom (carbophilic addition). Interestingly, the addition of the organometallic reagent on the nitrogen atom (azophilic addition) has been also described recently experiment we observed, in analogy to other acylimines 89 93 . In our of MTFP [Scheme 10] that imine (7) and (8) reacted smoothly with different organometallic compounds of Mg at -78oC leading to the formation of the new C-C bond. - 35 - Results and discussion CF3 O OEt MeO2C N O F3C 1.

In general, we investigated the chemistry of the new imines as electrophiles. We presumed that they can be sufficiently alkylated by different ʌ-donor heteroaromatic compounds. Our first afford was the reaction with indoles. These benzo-fused pyrroles are a very important class of heterocyclic systems, because they are built into proteins in the form of the amino acid tryptophan. We found out that the reaction of imines (7) and (8) with one- substituted indoles in anhydrous diethyl ether proceeded in mild condition [Table 2, entries 17, 19] or at moderate heating [Table 2, entries 18, 20] giving corresponding Į-aryl (hetaryl)-ȕ,ȕ,ȕ-trifluoroalanine [Scheme 11] preferably substitued 3-position, as a result of the fact, that this reaction involves a rather isolated enamine system in the five-membered ring and does not disturb the aromaticity of the benzene ring. - 37 - Results and discussion CF3 O OEt N MeO2C MeO2C CF3 O O O 7 N R N H H O Et2O, r.t CF3 N O R H OEt N MeO2C X P 17-20 OEt R= H, CH3 X= C or P-OEt O 8 Scheme 11 Reaction of N-oxalyl and N-phosphonoformyl methyltrifluoropyruvate imines with indoles The signal of the 19 F NMR was observed in the range typical for such compounds [§ δF: -71.6 (s, CF3)] and consequently, the signal of the 31 P NMR spectra was observed in the range typical for such compounds [§ δP: -1.2 (m, P(O)(OEt)2)].

Both modes benefit from the presence of the resonance-contributing atom, however attack at the C2 is leading to an intermediate with additional resonance form. Indeed, the position C2 seemed to be more preferable site of electrophilic substitution. We can point out that we have noticed such selectivity. By examining the reaction the mixture we observed the main product belonging to the electrophilic substitution on C2 and small amount of products belonging to electrophilic substitution on C3. The signal of the 19 F NMR was observed in the range typical for such compounds [§ δF: -72.2 (s, CF3)] and consequently, the signal of the 31 P NMR was observed in the range [§ δP: -1.5 (m, P(O)(OEt)2].

The signals of the 19 F NMR and 31 P NMR were observed in the range typical for such compounds [§ δF: -71.3 (s, CF3)] and [§ δP: 3.8 (m, P(O)(OEt)2)]. However, in the case of the larger substituents like N(CH3)2, steric hindrance is playing significant role and the electrophilic substituition in para position is the most preferable position. In our experiment, we observed similar results; we got more para product (C4-amidoalkylation). In the spectrum of the reaction mixture we were able to identify signals belonging to the product in ortho position. We used flash column chromatography on silica gel in order to purife it. Our study of the reactions of methyltrifluoropyruvates imines with different aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds led to the design of a general method for trifluoroalkyl-Į-amino (amido) alkylation of aromatic system of the donor type. Above described experiments indicate that in the aromatic rings the C-amidoalkylation had been directed consistently and regioselectively to the sites of maximal density. - 42 - Results and discussion 3.1.4.2.1 X-ray crystallographic analysis of methyl N-[ethoxyoxalyl]-3,3,3trifluoro-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)alaninate The structure of the compound (17) methyl N-[ethoxyoxalyl]-3,3,3-trifluoro-2(1H-indol-3-yl)alaninate was confirmed by X-ray data [Figure 13].

Taking into consideration the strong electrophilic nature of the new imines bearing N-oxalyl and N-phosphonoformyl groups, we believed that they can easily be reduced to the corresponding amines using commonly known reducing agents. The reduction of the C=N double bond (C,N-Dihydro-addition) was accomplished by the simple and convenient method using 1.5 equivalent of NaBH4 [Scheme 15] in anhydrous ether at room temperature. Under these conditions N-oxalyl methyltrifluoropyruvate imine was reduced leading to the desired methyl N-[ethoxyoxalyl]-3,3,3-trifluoroalaninate (29) in good 69% yield. Surprisingly, in the case of the reduction reaction of N-phosphonoformyl methyltrifluoropyruvate imine the unexpected azirine derivative was obtained in the preparative yield - methyl 3-(diethylphosphonyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-azirine-2-carboxylate (30) [Scheme 15].

Noteworthy, synthetic protocols of 2H-azirines, firstly reported by Neber et al 102,103 , can be categorized into following classes 94: intramolecular reactions of N-functionalized imines, vinyl azides, isoxazoles, and oxaazaphospholes [Figure 18, route a, b, c] intermolecular reactions between nitriles and carbenes and acetylenes [Figure 18, route d and e] N LG a + N e b N3 N d c + N P Y O Y= C, P Figure 18 Synthetic protocols for 2H-azirines In our case, the mechanism of reaction of formation azirine (30) was not completely clear.

Moreover, click methodology is giving the possibility to attach additional moiety to the bisphosphonate molecule, namely a nitrogen-containing heterocycle - triazol. 3.2.1 Bisphosphonates (BPs) - general remarks Bisphosphonates are structural analogues of inorganic pyrophosphate in which an oxygen atom has been replaced by a carbon atom [Figure 20] 105-110. O O OH P O OH P OH OH P OH OH P OH O OH O Bisphosphonate Pyrophosphate Figure 20 Bisphosphonates as structuraly related to inorganic pyrophosphate - 53 - Results and discussion Due to its ability to chelate metals, bisphosphonates were initially used either as corrosion inhibitors or as complexing agents in textile, fertilizer or oil industries In 1960s it was shown by Fleisch and co-workers 112 111 . , that diphosphate can prevent calcification by binding to newly forming crystals of hydroxyapatite (HA). Then, it was found that bisphosphonates, similarly to PPi can prevent calcification both in vivo and in vitro due to their high affinity towards hydroxyapatite. Most importantly, bisphosphonates were shown to prevent pathological calcification in contrast to pyrophosphonates 113. Nowadays, bisphosphonates are well established as successful agents for the prevention and treatment of diseases connected with calcium disorders like postmenopausal osteoporosis Paget’s disease 118,119 114-116 , corticosteroid-induced bone loss 117 and . Interestingly, it was discovered that various matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are inhibited in vitro by several bisphosphonates. This novel finding may particularly explain the efficacy of bisphosphonates in their current indications in human-beings 120,121 . Furthermore, recently they have become important class of compounds used in the management of cancer-induced bone disease 122-124 . Finally, bisphosphonates are also of interest in the context of immunotherapy as well as they possess potent effects against parasites responsible for sleeping sickness, Chagas’ disease, malaria and leismaniases 125-127. 3.2.1.1 Chemical structure of bisphosphonates. Structure-Activity relationships (SARS) All bisphosphonates have the same generic structure. Even if their chemical structure closely resembles the chemical structure of pyrophosphate (PPi), there are many features, which differs them from each other. First of all, in PPi two phosphate groups are linked by oxygen being hydrolitically unstable, whereas in BPs they are linked to carbon, which render them hydrolitically stable and also to withstand incubation in acids or with hydrolytic enzymes 128. - 54 - Results and discussion The P-C-P moiety has been called the “bone hook”, namely it is the primary structural feature, that endows the molecule its affinity and targets it to the bone 107 . The “bone hook” is responsible for giving bisphosphonates high affinity to the bone, which can further be enhanced by the substitution of a hydroxyl group in the side chain R1. Interestingly, the side chain R2 plays an important role in determing the potency of bisphosphonates [Figure 21] 107, 108. When R1 is an OH, binding to hydroxyapatie is enhanced O OH R1 OH P C P OH R2 OH O P-C-P "bone hook" is essential for binding to hydroxyapatite R2 side chain determines potency R2 = -CH3 (Editronate) -CH2CH2NH2 (Pamidronate) -CH2CH2CH2NH2 (Alendronate) Figure 21 Structure-activity relationships in geminal bisphosphonates It is noteworthy to add, that the presence of a hydroxyl group in the side chain R1 can increase the ability of BPs to bind to bone mineral by preventing both crystal growth and dissolution 129 . Moreover, its presence enhances the affinity for calcium and thus bone mineral even further, owing to the ability of bisphosphonates to chelate calcium ions. Like PPi, bisphosphonates form a three dimensional structure capable of binding divalent metal ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+ in the bidentate manner appears figure [Figure 22] presenting this mechanism. - 55 - 130,131 . Below Results and discussion 2+ Figure 22 Mechanism of bisphosphonates to bind to divalent metal ions such as Ca 3.2.1.2 Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) - characteristic features More recent studies have explored, that the structure present in R2 side chains of bisphosphonates is the major determinant of antiresorptive potency. A turning point concerning clinical investigation of bisphosphonates was found in BPs containing an additional moiety – a nitrogen atom in the side chain R2 (N-BPs). In particular, bisphosphonates such as Pamidronate or Alendronate with a basic primary nitrogen atom were found to be up to 1000-fold more potent than nonaminobisphosphonates (Clodronate or Etidronate) [Figure 23]. Moreover, it was determined that bisphosphonates containing a secondary amine group in the side chain R2 are more potent up to 300-fold than those containing a primary amine (Incadronate) [Figure 24]. Most importantly, the highest antiresorption potency has been shown by bisphosphonates containing a tertiary nitrogen atom within ring - 56 - Results and discussion structures 131 in the side chain R2. An example of this kind of N-BPs is Risendronate and Zolendronate [Figure 23]. These cyclic nitrogen bisphosphonates has proved to be up to 10.000-fold more active than for example Editronate (in experimental systems used for human-beings) 107 . The difference in potencies might arise from the different mechanisms of action exhibited by nitrogen containing bisphosphonates and non-nitrogen containing bisphosphonates. Non-nitrogen containing bisphosphonates are metabolically incorporated into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) producing nonhydrolyzable ATP analogues. Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates inhibit the enzyme farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthase in the melavonate pathway 132. The results obtained to date indicate that the key features required for high inhibitory potency of N-BPs include: The presence of two geminal phosphonate groups responsible for interaction with the molecular target The presence of a basic nitrogen in heterocyclic side chain affects potency The three-dimensional orientation of those basic nitrogen atom is critical for an effective inhibition The geminal hydroxyl group does not influence the ability of the N-BPs to act at the cellular level The introduction of lipophilic groups into N-BPs backbone can significantly improve their pharmacokinetics increasing the availability for soft tissues. Noteworthy, even if N-bisphosphonates differ from non-N-bisphosphonates with the respect to antiresorptive potency, their pharmacokinetics are characterized by highly selective localization and retention in bone 133. - 57 - similar and Results and discussion O O O OH H P OH HO P H P OH P Cl P Cl P OH OH OH OH H OH OH OH O O O OH OH HO P H3C P OH O O OH P HO OH OH Cl OH OH S P OH OH O O Figure 23 Non-nitrogen-BPs currently used in clinical setting O O O OH HO HO P P H2N O O HO P OH OH OH N P OH OH N P OH OH N HO P OH OH P O O O P N P O " Figure 24 Nitrogen-BPs currently used in clinical setting - 58 - OH OH OH O !

However, drug discovery based on natural products is generally hampered by slow, costly and complex syntheses 134 . The development of powerful, selective and modular “blocks”, which work reliably in both small- and large-scale application has always fascinated scientists 135 . A growing impact on this field has had bioconjugate and combinatorial chemistry. Click chemistry, recently proposed by Sharpless et al. 135,136 is a modular approach that uses the most practical and reliable chemical transformations: “…the reaction must be modular, wide in scope, give very high yields, generate only inoffensive byproducts that can be removed by no chromatographic methods and must be stereospecific (but not necessarily enantioselective)…the requires process characteristics include simple reaction conditions, readily available starting materials and reagents, the use of no solvents or a solvents that is benign (such as water) or easily removed, and simple product isolation…”. Undoubtedly, click chemistry does not replace existing methods for drug discovery, but rather, it complements and extends those 136 . Generally, click chemistry bases on carbon-heteroatom bond-forming connection chemistry. Similarly in connection to chemistry appearing in nature - all proteins arise from 20 building blocks that are joined via reversible, heteroatom links-amides 136. - 59 - Results and discussion Carbon-heteroatom bond forming reactions comprise the most common examples including the following classes of chemical transformations 135: cycloadditions of unsaturated species, especially 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, but also the Diels-Alder family of transformation nucleophilic substitution chemistry, particularly ring opening reactions of strained heterocyclic electrophiles such as epoxides, aziridines, aziridinium ions and episulfonium ions carbonyl chemistry of the “non-aldol” type, such as formation of the ureas, thioureas, aromatic heterocycles, oxime ethers, hydrazones, and amides additions to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, especially oxidative cases such as epoxidation, dihydroxylation, aziridination, but also Michael additions of Nu-H To date, the most popular reaction, that has been adapted to fullfil these criteria is the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition 137 , also known as Huisgen cycloaddtion, between an azide and a terminal alkyne affording the 1,2,3-triazole moiety 138 . Due to the fact that azide and alkyne components can be incorporated into a wide range of substituents, the potential of this reaction has become very high. Thus, the 1,3dipolar cycloaddition yielding triazoles is called “the cream of the crop” (it means the best of a particular group) 135,139. Most generally, Huisgen the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction introduced by Rolf Huisgen 140 is an exergonic fusion process that unites two unsaturated reactants and provides fast access to an enormous variety of five-membered heterocycles 141 . A disadvantage of this method is fact that reactions usually afford mixture of the 1,4and 1,5-regioisomers [Scheme 20] 142,143: - 60 - Results and discussion N N R1 N N R1 N 1 N R1 N1 N + N 5 4 R2 R2 R2 ca. 1:1 mixture Scheme 20 Products of thermal 1,3-cycloaddition The lack of selectivity can be explained by the similarity in activation energies for both processes 144 . Much of the effort for controlling this 1,4- versus 1,5- regioselectivity failed. Furthermore, such intrinsic features made this reaction unsuitable for being considered as “click reaction” 145. The potential of this reaction has been recently enhanced by the discovery of Sharpless et al. that copper(I) catalyzes [Scheme 21] regioisomer of substituted 1,2,3- triazoles 147,148 146 the formation of a single . Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1, 3- dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) has been established as one of the most reliable means for the covalent assembly of complex molecules 149 . Instead of this, this powerful bond forming process has proven to be extremely versatile, and has driven the concept of “the click chemistry” from an ideal to a reality 150.

Thanks to their weak-base properties they are nearly inert toward biological molecules and toward the reaction conditions found inside living cells151, 152. Additionally, they are showing stability in range of different solvent, pH values and temperature. 3.2.2.2 Synthesis of mono and bispropargyl bisphosphonates Our first efford connected with designing novel nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) via click methodology was preparation of propargyl substituted bisphosphonates, first unsaturated reactant. The synthesis of the monopropropargyl bisphosphonates have been already reported by Yuan and Li 153 [Scheme 22, route A]. This procedure based on deprotonation of methylene bisphosphonate (34) with NaH followed by alkylation with propargyl bromide. We verified that this reaction is substantially accompanied by double alkylation (up to 35% of 38) leading to two products: tetraethyl but-3-yne-1,1-diyldiphosphonate (37) and tetraethyl hepta-1,6-diyne-4,4-diyldiphosphonate (38) [Scheme 22, route A]. Furthermore, due to the similar Rf-values of these two products, their separation using flash column chromatography was not enough effective in our experience [Figure 25]. Unfortunately, much of our effort for achieving higher selectivity for product (37) failed. Consequently, we developed an alternative and easy method for the preparation of (37) by selective addition of sodium acetylidene to our key intermediate ethylidene bisphosphonate (36) [Scheme 22, route B] 154. - 62 - Results and discussion O O 1.

This reaction afforded the desired compound (36) tetraethyl etylidenebisphosphonate in good overall yield (89%). The product was used for the synthesis of mono-substituted bisphosphonate [Scheme 25, route B]. Noteworthy, the reaction between tetraethyl etylidenebisphosphonate (36) and sodium acetylidene gave excellent results even on a multi-gram scale (92%). Moreover, the paramount advantage of this synthesis, in comparison to reaction with NaH and propargyl bromide [Scheme 25, route B] is fact that it leads only to the desired product (37). Besides, after ordinary work-up the product does not require additional purification and can be directly used as a substract for click reaction. Noteworthy, the synthesis of compound (38) - tetraethyl hepta-1,6-diyne-4,4diyldiphosphonate (the product of substantial double alkylation-Scheme 25) has been reported already by Choi et al 157 . The alkylation of methylene bisphosphonate (34) with two equivalents of propargyl bromide under deprotonation with two equivalents of NaH in THF [Scheme 24] is a convenient and successful route leading to dipropargyl derivative of bisphosphonates (38). - 64 - Results and discussion 2eq.

In more recent times in particular, completely new perspectives have been developed for their use in peptide chemistry, combinatorial chemistry, and heterocyclic synthesis. Organic azides have assumed an important position at the interface between chemistry, biology and medicine 161. A breakdown in triazole chemistry occurred with the observation by Sharpless’ group concerning reaction between azides and terminal alkynes leading to triazoles 135. - 67 - Results and discussion R N N N R N N N R N N N R N N NH2 Figure 27 Resonance structures of azides R-N3 In principle, organic azides may be prepared through five different methods: insertion of the N3 group by substitution of addition, insertion of an N2 group, insertion of a nitrogen group, cleavage of the triazines and analogues compounds and finally by rearrangement of azides 162. In our experience, synthesis of aryl azides (39, 40) was prepared according to the procedure proposed by Andersen et al. 163 [Scheme 26].

As mentioned before, Cu(I) catalysis dramatically improves regioselectivity to afford the 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. It is noteworthy to add, that in 2005, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between alkynes and azides yielding only the 1,5-disubstituted triazoles was reported 165,166. This click reaction was catalyzed by Cp*RuCl(PPh)3. For the click reaction a various number of copper(I) sources can be utilized: Cu(I) salts, for instance CuI, CuBr 167 in situ reduction of Cu(II) salts , for instance CuSO4 147,168 (reducing agents: sodium ascorbate, hydroquinones and other quinones like Vitamin K comproportionation of Cu(0) and Cu(II) 146,169,170, e.g. excess of copper wire coordination complexes, like: [Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6 139 , (EtO)3P x CuI 171 , [Cu(PPh3)3]Br 168,172 Interestingly, click reaction except of copper source does not require any special chemical reagents. Generally, it proceeds to completion in 6 to 36 h at ambient temperature in a variety of solvents, including aqueous tert-butanol or ethanol, and very importantly water with no organic co-solvents 147 . Moreover, it tolerates a wide range of pH values. Among several systems that have been developed for providing click reactions, the most widely used are [Figure 28]: - 70 - Results and discussion CuSO4 x 5H2O/ sodium ascorbate/ t-BuOH : H2O CuSO4 x 5H2O/ sodium ascorbate/ CH2Cl2 : H2O CuSO4 x 5H2O/ sodium ascorbate/ DMSO : H2O CuI/ i-Pr2NEt/CH3CN, THF Figure 29 Most common copper system used in click chemistry For the synthesis of the novel nitrogen containing BPs we have applied two from the above mentioned methods, namely: method A CuI/i-Pr2NEt/CH3CN; in details copper(I) salt - CuI as a catalyst in organic solvent (THF) and in the presence of as organic base (DIPEA) method B CuSO4 x 5H2O/sodium ascorbate/t-BuOH : H2O; in details generation of Cu(I) in situ from CuSO4 by presence of the reducing agent (sodium ascorbate) in water-alcohol medium. - 71 - Results and discussion 3.2.2.5 1,3- Dipolar cycloaddition between monopropargyl bisphosphonate and different azides O O P R N3 P OEt OEt OEt OEt P Method A P N Method B R N N OEt OEt OEt OEt O O Method A: CuI (10mol%), DIPEA (3eq), THF Method B: CuSO4 (5mol%), Na-ascorbate (30mol%), t-BuOH/H2O (4:1) Scheme 28 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between monopropargyl bisphosphonates and different azides We determined that Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between monopropargyl bisphosphonate and different azides [Scheme 28]: aryl azides [Table 9, entries 45 and 46], fluorinated azide [Table 4, entry 47], aliphatic azide [Table 4, entry 48] proceeded smoothly at room temperature. Both above mentioned methods: method A and method B are giving excellent results, however the method B is most preferable due to a simpler isolation of the pure products, flash column chromatography was not reguired. Next, we have investigated the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between monopropargyl bisphosphonate and highly functionalized azides [Table 9, entries 49 and 50]. We discovered that 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetyl-ȕ-D-glucopyranosyl azide is an ideal precursor for the synthesis of modified bisphosphonates. All the polysaccharides constitute a class of natural compounds involved in a number of important biological functions. Obviously, click reaction between them and monopropragyl bisphosphonates is a simple and practical way to obtain bioactive compounds, potential candidates of drugs 173,174. Moreover, we determined that 3’-azido-3’deoxythymidine (AZT) is a very good partner for preparation of disubstituted 1,2,3 triazoles. - 72 - Results and discussion ʋ Product R- N3 Method Yield A 79 B 87 A 73 B 80 A 81 B 85 B 72 B 68 O OEt P OEt N3 1 OEt P N N OEt N O 45 O OEt P OEt 2 N3 OEt P N N OEt N O 46 O OEt P OEt OEt P 3 N N3 F13C6 N C6F13 OEt N O 47 O P O 4 N3 P N O OEt OEt O O N N OEt OEt O 48 O P OEt OEt AcO AcO 5 AcO AcO O O N3 OAc P N AcO AcO OAc N N 49 - 73 - OEt OEt O Results and discussion O O N 6 NH H O N OH O N O OH P O O OEt B OEt N3 P N N N 92 OEt OEt O 50 Table 9 Reaction of monopropargyl bisphosphonate with different azides In order to emphasize the importance of AZT, it is obligatory to mention that all of the currently approved agents, which target HIV-rt (The Human Immunodeficiency Virus) are dideoxynucleoside analogues 175-177 . Moreover, since the discovery of modified acylnucleosides as antiviral agents, substantial efforts have been devoted to the synthesis and biological evaluation of such compounds 178 . Indeed, click methodology has opened up the possibility to design derivatives of AZT- potential antiviral drug in the treatment of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). 3.2.2.5.1 Catalytic cycle for the Cu(I) catalyzed 1,3-cycloaddition Although the thermal dipolar cycloaddition of azides and alkynes occurs through a concerted mechanism, DFT (the density functional theory) calculations on monomeric copper acetylide complexes indicate, that the concerted mechanism is strongly disfavoured relative to a stepwise mechanism 143. In the system CuSO4 x 5H2O/sodium ascorbate, the active catalyst Cu(I) [Scheme 29, moiety A] is generated in situ from CuSO4 via the reduction with sodium ascorbate (reducing agents). Then the monopropargyl bisphosphonates [Scheme 32, molecule 1] coordinates with the Cu(I) by displacing one of the acetonitrile ligands [Scheme 29, - 74 - Results and discussion moiety 1b, 2]. This kind of conversion of the alkyne to the acetylide is well involved in many C-C bond forming reactions in which Cu acetylide species are bona fide intermediates 169. The formation of the copper acetylide was calculated to be exothermic by 11.7 kcal/mol. This is consistent with well-known facility of this step, which propably occurs through the intermediacy of ʌ-alkyne-copper complex. The ʌ coordination of an alkyne to copper is calculated to move the pKa of the alkyne terminal proton down by ca. 10 units, bringing it into the proper range to be proponated in an acqueous medium 149.

Noteworthy, copper acetylide or cuprous acetylide is a typical multi-site bridging ligand in carbonyl cluster derivatives 179 . Surprisingly, commercially available copper acetylides, which are presumably already saturated with alkyne, show no catalytic activity, emphasizing the importance of labile ligand dissociation to catalysis, and as of yet, only one known copper species has been shown to catalyze triazole formation 148,179. - 75 - Results and discussion Following the formation of the active copper acetylide species [Scheme 30, molecule 2], azide replaces one of the ligands and binds to the copper atom via the nitrogen proximal to carbon, forming intermediate 3 [Scheme 30]. The energy of chemical individuum 3 approximates 0.0 kcal/ mol while the ligand exchange process 0.7 and 2.0 kcal/mol. Next, the distal nitrogen of the azide attacks the C-2 carbon of the copper acetylide. This leads to the formation of an unusual and intriguing six-membered copper containg metallcycle 4. This step is endothermic by 12.6 kcal/mol with a calculated barrier of 18.7 kcal/mol, which is considerably lower than the barrier for the uncatalyzed reaction (approximately 26.0 kcal/mol). The energy barrier for the ring contraction of 4, which leads to the triazolyl-copper derivative 5, is quite low (3.2 kcal/mol). Proteolysis of 5 releases, the desired triazole product 6, thereby is completing the catalytic cycle. - 76 - P EtO EtO P EtO EtO N 3 B-2 N N N N R2 R2 CuLn-2 4 N CuLn-2 B-1 B-3 N N N R2 P EtO EtO O P O N EtO EtO O P P 5 N N 2 R2 CuL n CuLn-1 - 77 - R2 = PhN 3, BzN 3, C2 H 4C 6F13, AZT, ... etc. B - direct EtO EtO Scheme 30 Proposed catalytic cycle for the Cu(I) catalyzed ligation O P O EtO EtO O P O EtO EtO EtO EtO O A LnCu C O P P O EtO EtO EtO EtO EtO EtO EtO EtO O P P O N 6 1 N N H R2 Results and discussion Results and discussion 3.2.2.5.2 Triazoles - characteristic features Triazoles represent a class of five membered heterocyclic compounds of two carbon atoms and three nitrogen atoms. Recently, these kinds of heterocyclic compounds have been shown to possess very interesting biological and medicinal activity. Triazoles are especially relevant to drug discovery because of their physicochemical properties discovery. They can mimic the atom placement and electronic properties of peptide bond NH-CO [Figure 30]: 136,180,181 O N R2 R1 N mimicked by N N R2 R1 H R1 to R2 distance 3.8 A R1 to R2 distance 5.0 A Figure 30 Topological and electronic similarities of amides and 1,2,3-triazoles Most generally, triazoles serve as linking units that place the carbon atoms attached to the 1,4 positions of the cyclic ring at a distance of a 5.0 Å (while C-Į distance in amides: 3.8 Å). However, some structural differences between amides and triazoles bond exist. In contrast to amides, triazoles cannot be cleaved hydrolytically or otherwise, and unlike benzenoids and related aromatic heterocycles, they are almost not capable to be reduced or oxidized. In spite of this, triazoles possess a much stronger dipole moment than an amide bond, ~5 Debye (by ab initio calculation, RHG/6-311G**; cf. N-methyl acetamide: 3.7-4.0 Debye. However, this chemical features may here enhance peptide bond mimicry by increasing the hydrogen bond donor and acceptor properties of the triazoles 143. - 78 - Results and discussion In our experience 1,2,3- triazoles have been substituted with bisphosphonate group at the position 4 and other moiety, like phenyl group at 1 position. Obviously, they can constitute aza-analogue of Zolendronate, the most potent drug among bisphosphonates to date. As already mentioned, bisphosphonates containing in R2 side chain a tertiary nitrogen atom within ring structures are characterized by the highest antiresorption potency. In order to obtain free N-BPs we have selected N-pivaloylmethyl derivative as the most suitable precursor (sub-chapter 3.2.2.8). 3.2.2.6 Synthesis of bisphosphonates containing ditriazoles Our further insight was gained by examination of the nature of dipropargyl bisphosphonate namely tetraethyl hepta-1,6-diyne-4,4-diyldiphosphonate (38). In particular, we were interested into synthesizing bistriazoles via “double-click reaction”. In similar manner to copper catalyze 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of monosubstituted propargyl bromide (subchapter 3.2.2.5), the reaction between dipropargyl bisphosphonates was accomplished using method B [Scheme 31], which is more preferable in terms of purification. Thus, we designed bisphosphonates bearing two triazoles heterocycles to which different functionalities are attached, like benzyl, fluorinated aliphatic chain or 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetyl-ȕ-D-glucopyranosyl moiety. - 79 - Results and discussion EtO EtO N3 CuSO4 x 5H2O (20 mol%) Na-ascorbate (10 mol%) t-BuOH/H2O (4:1) N O O P P N OEt OEt N N N N 54 OAc O OEt P P OEt O OAc EtO EtO OAc OEt OEt O AcO AcO O O P P OEt OEt OAc OAc CuSO4 x 5H2O (20 mol%) Na-ascorbate (10 mol%) t-BuOH/H2O (4:1) O O AcO AcO 38 N N N N OAc OAc OAc N AcO N 55 C6F13 EtO EtO N3 CuSO4 x 5H2O (20 mol%) Na-ascorbate (10 mol%) t-BuOH/H2O (4:1) O O P P OEt OEt 45 C6F13 N N N N N C6F13 N 56 Scheme 31 1,3-Cycloaddition of dipropargyl bisphosphonate 38 with different azides yielding bistriazoles Copper catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between dialkynes and different azides, in contrast to Cu (I) 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between alkynes and different azides is not common. However, it has found application for instance in bioconjugation field of chemistry182 or in material science 183. In our experience, reactions between one equivalent of tetraethyl hepta-1,6-diyne4,4-diyldiphosphonate and two equivalent of different azides were proceeded smoothly at room temperature. Purification was greatly simplified due to the absence of side products. The products (54, 55 and 56) were received in very good yields. - 80 - Results and discussion 3.2.2.6.1 X-ray crystallographic analysis of tetraethyl 2-(1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3triazol-4-yl)ethane-1,1-diyldiphoshonate The structure of compound (54) was confirmed by X-ray data [Figure 31]. Molecules in the crystal have an approximately C2 symmetry (a two-fold axis passess through the C9 atom-atom CĮ). The single crystal possesses a triclinic system. In similarlity to tetraethyl hepta-1,6-diyne-4,4-diyldiphosphonate (38), the geometry around each P atom is that of distorted tetrahedron, as can be seen from the ranges of bond angles around P1 and P2 of 102.54 (17) - 104.16 (16) and 102.50 (18) - 105.10 (2)o, respectively. In each P(O)(OEt)2 group, the largest bond angle is that between the pair of non ester O atoms.

Many 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles have been obtained recently with excellent yields by a convenient one-pot procedure from a variety of readily available aromatic and aliphatic halides without isolation of potentially unstable organic azides intermediates 184. Although organic azides are generally safe compounds, those of low molecular weight can be unstable and difficult to handle. The paramount advantage of this method is that azide generated in situ does not have to be isolated. The efficiency of in situ click chemistry has been already demonstrated by the discovery of novel, acetylcholinesterase and carbonic anhydrase - 82 - highly 151,185-187 . potent inhibitors of Results and discussion In our experiment, firstly we attempted to synthesize tetraethyl 2-(1-benzyl-1H1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ethane-1,1-diyldiphosphonate (57), which was presented already in section 3.2.2.5, via one pot reaction from corresponding benzyl azide. We found that benzyl azide can be generated in situ from one equivalent of sodium azide and one equivalent of benzyl bromide at room temperature in the solution of t-BuOH and water (12h). This reaction was controlled by TLC. When the conversion of halide into azide group was completed monopropargyl bisphosphonates was added. The experiment was followed by addition of alkyne, source of Cu(I), namely method B (CuSO4 x 5H2O) [Scheme 32].

Going into details, isomeric bis(bromomethyl)benzenes were converted in situ into bis(azidomethyl)benzenes by the reaction with 2 eq. of sodium azide. Similarly to above mentioned, after completed conversion of halides into azides, monopropargyl azides, copper salt (II) and reducing agents were added (method B). Due to the complexing ability of the methylenebisphosphonate moiety towards metals, under these one-pot conditions tetraphosphonates (58, 59 and 60) - form strong chelates with sodium bromide (the side product of the reaction). However, pure products can be easily isolated by purification on column chromatography. - 83 - Results and discussion NaN3 , N Br Br N N N N CuSO4 x 5H2O (20 mol%) Na-ascorbate (10 mol%) t-BuOH/H2O (4:1) (EtO)2P (EtO)2P P(OEt)2 O x NaBr N P(OEt)2 O O O 58 NaN3 , O P OEt OEt P OEt OEt O 37 Br Br N N N N N CuSO4 x 5H2O (20 mol%) Na-ascorbate (10 mol%) t-BuOH/H2O (4:1) (EtO)2P (EtO)2P P(OEt)2 O F x NaBr N O O 59 P(OEt)2 O F F F F F NaN3 , Br Br F N F N N CuSO4 x 5H2O (20 mol%) Na-ascorbate (10 mol%) t-BuOH/H2O (4:1) N N (EtO)2P O (EtO)2P P(OEt)2 O x NaBr N 60 O P(OEt)2 O Scheme 33 Synthesis of tetraphosphonates molecules via one pot reaction 3.2.2.8 Hydrolysis of the ester groups in nitrogen-bisphosphonates (N-BPs) Hydrolysis of the ester groups at the phosphorus in bisphosphonates is allowing receiving free bisphosphonic acids from which later pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be easily prepared.

This part will focus on the chemistry and investigation of a new class of fluorinated bisphosphonates, and particularly on the facile synthetic route leading to these derivatives. Both fluorine and phosphorus compounds play a vital role in all living systems. We believed that designing compounds possessing these two components can bring excellent results. 3.3.1 Fluorinated Bisphosphonates (FBPs) – general remarks The introduction of fluorine or perfluoroalkyl groups into molecules is a versatile tool for modifying their physicochemical properties and physiological behavior by increasing lipophilicity. Moreover, the strong electron-withdrawing inductive effect of fluorine can influence the reactivity of neighbouring groups, for example, acidity 3,63,191. In spite of this, unlike other substituents, fluorine does not introduce large steric perturbations and imparts increased hydrolytic stability as well as oxygen solubility 192 Most importantly, mono- and difluoromethylene bisphosphonates have been shown to exhibit interesting biological properties. They are potential candidates for phosphate analogues 193,194 and inhibit bone lysis 195,196. Moreover, difluoromethylidene bisphosphonates (F2MBP) can increase alkaline phosphatase activity and fatty acid oxidation in calvaria cells in culture Most importantly, it was demonstrated by Pietrzyk et al. 198 197 . that F2MBP inhibits bone resorption both in vitro and in vivo. Above presented results emphasize diversity of fluorinated bisphosphonates as potential inhibitors of MMPs. - 87 - Results and discussion It is noteworthy to add, that the synthetic application of fluorine-containing analogs suffers from the pauticity of simple and effective methods for prepartion of such compounds. Recently, Röschenthaler et al. convenient pathway to F3-Etidronic acid 191 , were capable to present a (1-hydroxy-2,2,2-trifluoroethylidene- bisphosphonate)- fluorinated analogue of the commonly known Etidtronate [Figure 32].

Our results are of interest since reaction of trialkyl phosphite with ketones is known to give the Arbuzov reaction product in preference to the Perkow reaction product while the - 94 - Results and discussion reaction of Į-chloroketones usually gives the exclusively formation of the Perkow reaction products. Generally, in the reaction 1 eq. of Į-halo ketones with 1 eq. of trialkyl phosphite to produce an alkyl phosphonate, the first step involves a nucleophilic attack of the phosphorus (in our case tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite) on the alkyl halide (in our case 2-chloro-2,2,-difluoroacetyl chloride) [Scheme 41]. Dealkylation of the halide ion results in the formation of the trialkoxyphosphonium salt and subsequently a phosphoryl bond. This part of the reaction mechanism is referred to the MichaelisArbuzov pathway. Furthermore, the carbonyl addition reaction of the second eq. of tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite affords the product of a Perkow reaction (64). Going into details, the initially formed intermediate due to the rapid intramolecular rearrangment of a trimethylsilyl group, is transfered into a three-membered transition state. Consequently, the Perkow reaction product containing unsaturatated systems appears as a result of the predominant cleavage of the P-C bond of the the intermediate. Taking into consideration the fact that –P(O)(OSiMe3)2 is an electronwithdrawing group, the P-C bond of the transition state is easily cleaved because the carboanion formed as a result of the cleavage can be stabilized through delocalization of electrons. - 95 - Results and discussion SiMe3 Cl O ClF2C C :P(OSiMe3)3 Cl ClF2C O O C P OSiMe3 OSiMe3 -Me3SiCl ClF2C Me3SiO Me3SiO O OSiMe3 C P P O O C P OSiMe3 OSiMe3 XF2C :P(OSiMe3)3 OSiMe3 OSiMe3 O O Cl F2 C Me3SiO Me3SiO OSiMe3 O C P O P O OSiMe3 -Me3SiCl OSiMe3 F2C OSiMe3 C P SiMe3 P OSiMe3 OSiMe3 O O 61 Scheme 41 Reaction mechanism (Perkow/Arbuzov) Our results described above suggest the interesting evidence for the initial attack of the phosphite molecule on the carbonyl carbon in a Perkow reaction. 3.3.4 Hydrolysis of the ester groups on phosphorus atom In order to receive free acid 3,3-difluoroprop-2-en-1,2-diyldiphosphonic acid (63) we hydrolysed trismethyl silyl groups on phosphorus atoms using standard procedure 195 .

169 - Summary Chapter 6 Summary In recent years, we have witnessed a huge progress in developing new drugs. However, the process of their design is expensive and long. Finding an effective synthetic pathway which can be used to synthesize new drugs plays a crucial role here. Undoubtedly, inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase are very attractive compounds for drug discovery. According to much excisting evidence, they play a fundamental role in a wide variety of pathologies. The implementation of MMPs into processes critical to angiogenesis, tumor invasion etc., has prompted rapid development of new important agents, namely inhibitors of matrix metalloporteinase. In this thesis, different and effective strategies that can be employed to design potential inhibitors against overexpression of matrix metalloproteinases have been demonstrated. Moreover, strategies that can highlight the strength and drawback of each approach have been investigated. We have synthesied a family of different compounds bearing in their molecule oxalyl, phosphonoformyl and bisphosphonate groups’ theoretically capable to chelate to metal ions like zinc, calcium or magnesium. These agents are referred to as a potent zinc binding groups (ZBGs). It should be noted that, the past few decades are testament to the ingenuity of chemistry in designing such chemical entries. First of all, convenient synthetic routes to methyl 2-oxalylimino and 2(phosphonformimido)-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoates have been elaborated, based on the reaction of methyl trifluoropyruvate with ethyl oxamate or diethyl carbamoylphosphonate, respectively followed by dehydratation using dehydrating agent [Scheme 43]. - 170 - Summary O CF3 1.

The presence of the Tfm group can not only exert considerable polarization effects on the neighbouring substituents by also influence therapeutic index. By examining the nature and reactivity of the new imines we found that they are powerful ʌ-donor electrophilies to be alkylated by different organometallic reagents and heteroaromatic compounds [Scheme 44].

In addition, the novel fluorinated amino acid derivatives demonstrated here could find further application as building blocks for the modification of other biologically active peptides. The implementation of these molecules into unnatural proteins can pave the way for the de novo design and application. Obviously, fluor modification of N-oxalyl and N-phosphonoformyl derivatives of Į-Tfm-Į-amino acids, can serve as a “final push” towards higher activity and stability after rational design. Secondly, an efficient synthetic approach giving the possibility for facile and rapid synthesis of a novel nitrogen containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) based on the “click methodology” has been demonstrated. Recently, it has been an ongoing challenge to develop highly efficient strategies for the design of different derivatives of N-BPs because they have the potential to become one of the most popular matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors. The Cu(I) catalyzed 1,3-cycloaddition between monopropargyl bisphosphonate and different azides was shown to give access to a wide variety of 1,4-disubstituted triazoles [Scheme 45]. - 172 - Summary O O P R N3 P P OEt Cu(I) OEt OEt P N OEt R N OEt OEt OEt OEt O N O O NH N AcO O R = Ph, Bz, C2H4C6F13, O AcO AcO O O OH OAc O Scheme 45 A new class of nitrogen containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) It was found that not only benzyl azide or phenyl azide are ideal precursors for the synthesis of modified bisphosphonates but also highly functionalized azides like 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetyl-ȕ-D-glucopyranosyl azide or 3’-azido-3’deoxythymidine (AZT). The aza analogue of Zolendronate (the most potent bisphosphonate to date) - a free N-bisphosphonate was successfully synthesized from N-pivaloyl methyl derivative [Figure 38].

We found that phosphite esters react easily with 2-chloro-2,2,-difluoroacetyl chloride yielding vinylidene bisphosphonates difluoro (phosphonooxy)vinyliphosphonate. Taking into account the fact that difluoromethylidene bisphosphonates (F2MBP) were found to inhibit bone resorption both in vivo and in vitro, we believe that new fluorinated derivatives of BPs are capable to become useful inhibitors of MMPs [Figure 39].
