The isoquinoline-catalyzed synthesis of pretended 1H-azirines from phenacyl bromides and N,N\'-dialkylcarbodiimides was repeated. The products do not possess the structure of antiaromatic 1H-azirines, but simple N-acyl-N,N\'-dialkylureas were formed instead. This structural corrigendum was confirmed by the independent synthesis of the known ureas and comparison of their 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopic data in the case of six compounds. Thus,1H-azirines keep their classification as very short-lived intermediates.

The thesis entitled “Design and Development of Metal-Free Cross Dehydrogenative Coupling Reactions for the construction of C-S, C-O and C-C bonds” is divided into three Chapters. Chapter 1 is presented in five parts, which reveals the cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) strategies for the C–S bond forming reactions through C–H functionalization strategy using heterocyclic thiols and thiones. Chapter 2 presents tetrabutyl ammonium iodide (TBAI) catalyzed chemoselective α-aminoxylation of ketones with N-hydroxyimidates using TBHP as oxidant under cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) strategy. Chapter 3 describes a transition metal-free Minisci reaction for the acylation of isoquinolines, quinolines, and quinoxaline. Chapter 1 Iodine Promoted C-S Bond Forming Reactions using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as an Oxidant Chapter 1 reveals the utility of cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions for the formation of C–S bonds by employing C–H functionalization strategies.1 The direct functionalization of C–H bonds to form C–C and C–X (N, O, S and P) bonds using metal-free reaction conditions is an interesting research topic in recent years.2 Use of dimethyl sulfoxide as an oxidant is emerging as one of the research topics of great interest and utility.3 Heterocyclic thiols and thiones are important precursors for synthesizing a variety of pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds.4 Therefore it is useful to develop CDC reactions using heterocyclic thiols and thiones as precursors. In this chapter, we describe CDC reactions of heterocyclic thiols and thiones for the sulfenylation of ketones, aldehydes, α, β unsaturated methyl ketone derivatives, pyrazolones, enaminones and imidazoheterocycles using DMSO as an oxidant Chapter 1: Part 1 Iodine Promoted Regioselective α-Sulfenylation of Carbonyl Compounds using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as an Oxidant: In this chapter, a rare regioselective C–H sulfenylation of carbonyl compounds with heterocyclic thiones and thiols have been described using iodine and dimethyl sulfoxide as reagents. Thus, dimethyl sulfoxide (as an oxidant) and stoichiometric amount of iodine have been used for the sulfenylation of ketones using heterocyclic thiones. Whereas the sulfenylation of ketones with heterocyclic thiols required catalytic amount of iodine. This protocol offers a rare regioselective sulfenylation of (i) methyl ketones in the presence of more reactive α-CH2 or α-CH groups, and (ii) aldehydes under CDC method. A few representative examples are highlighted in Scheme 1.5 The application of this methodology has been demonstrated by synthesizing a few precursors for Julia-Kocienski olefination intermediates.

Lett. 2016, 18, 6090 Chapter 1: Part 2 Regioselective Sulfenylation of α’-CH3 or α’-CH2 Groups of α, β Unsaturated Ketones using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as an Oxidant: In this chapter, an interesting regioselective sulfenylation of α’-CH3 or α’-CH2 groups of α, β unsaturated ketones using dimethyl sulfoxide as an oxidant and catalytic amount of aq. HI (20 mol %) as an additive has been described. This eco-friendly method uses readily available, inexpensive I2 or HI and DMSO. This methodology exhibits a high regioselectivity without forming Michael addition product in the presence of strong acid such as aq. HI or iodine, which is difficult to achieve under cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) conditions. Current methodology exhibits a broad substrate scope. A few examples are shown in Scheme 2.6 Scheme 2. HI and DMSO promoted α’-sulfenylation of α, β unsaturated ketones Siddaraju, Y.; Prabhu, K. R. (Manuscript submitted) Chapter 1: Part 3 Iodine Catalyzed Sulfenylation of Pyrazolones using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as an Oxidant: In this chapter, a sustainable and efficient strategy for the sulfenylation of pyrazolones has been described using metal-free conditions by employing DMSO as an oxidant and iodine as a catalyst. A variety of heterocyclic thiols, heterocyclic thiones and disulfides undergo C–H functionalization reaction with pyrazolone derivatives furnishing the corresponding sulfenylated products in short time. Most of the products are isolated in pure form without column purification. A few examples are presented in Scheme 3.7 Scheme 3. Iodine promoted sulfenylation of pyrazolones Siddaraju, Y.; Prabhu, K. R. Org. Biomol. Chem. 2017, 15, 5191 Chapter 1: Part 4 Iodine-Catalyzed Cross Dehydrogenative Coupling Reaction: Sulfenylation of Enaminones using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as an Oxidant: In this chapter, synthesis of poly functionalized aminothioalkenes has been described using substoichiometric amount of iodine and DMSO as an oxidant. This metal-free methodology enables a facile sulfenylation of enaminones with heterocyclic thiols and thiones. This methodology is one of the simple approaches for the sulfenylation of enaminones under cross dehydrogenative coupling method. A few examples are highlighted in Scheme 4.8 Scheme 4. Cross-dehydrogenative coupling approach for sulfenylation of enaminones Siddaraju, Y.; Prabhu, K. R. J. Org. Chem. 2017, 82, 3084 Chapter 1: Part 5 Iodine-Catalyzed Cross Dehydrogenative Coupling Reaction: A Regioselective Sulfenylation of Imidazoheterocycles using DMSO as an Oxidant: In this chapter, a simple synthetic approach for the regioselective sulfenylation of imidazoheterocycles using iodine as a catalyst and DMSO as an oxidant under cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction conditions has been demonstrated. This protocol provides an efficient, mild and inexpensive method for coupling heterocyclic thiols and heterocyclic thiones with imidazoheterocycles. This is the first report on sulfenylation of imidazoheterocycles with heterocyclic thiols and heterocyclic thiones under metal-free conditions. A few examples are shown in Scheme 5.9 Scheme 5. Cross-dehydrogenative coupling approach for sulfenylation of imidazoheterocycles Siddaraju, Y.; Prabhu, K. R. J. Org. Chem. 2016, 81, 7838 Chapter 2 Chemoselective α-Aminoxylation of Aryl Ketones: Cross Dehydrogenative Coupling Reactions Catalyzed by Tetrabutyl Ammonium Iodide: In this chapter, chemoselective α-aminoxylation of ketones with N-hydroxyimidates catalyzed by tetrabutyl ammonium iodide (TBAI) has been presented. The coupling reaction of a variety of ketones with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHSI), N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI), N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) or 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt) using TBHP as oxidant has been investigated. This α-aminoxylation of ketones is chemoselective as aryl methyl ketones, aliphatic ketones as well as benzylic position are inactive under the reaction condition. A few examples are highlighted in Scheme 6.10 The application of this method has been demonstrated by transforming a few coupled products into synthetically useful vinyl phosphates. Scheme 6.

This intermolecular acylation of electron-deficient heteroarenes provides an easy access and a novel acylation method of heterocyclic compounds. The application of this CDC strategy has been illustrated by synthesizing isoquinoline-derived natural products. A few representative examples are shown in Scheme 7.11 Scheme 7.

Orientador: Luiz Carlos da Silva Filho / Resumo: A reação de acilação de Friedel-Crafts é uma das mais importantes reações de formação de ligações carbono-carbono em compostos aromáticos. As reações de acilação de Friedel-Crafts ocorrem basicamente por meio da reação entre compostos aromáticos com haletos de acila ou anidridos na presença de um ácido de Lewis. Assim, neste trabalho foi estudado o uso do pentacloreto de nióbio como ácido de Lewis nas reações de acilação de Friedel-Crafts visando à síntese de corantes sensibilizadores. Os derivados de fluoresceína foram sintetizados a partir de derivados fenólicos e derivados de anidrido, na presença de NbCl5 e sob aquecimento. Os produtos de interesse foram obtidos com rendimentos de 54 a 90% e em curtos tempos reacionais que variaram de 50 a 200 minutos. As fluoresceínas apresentaram absorção e emissão de luz dentro do comprimento de onda do visível, com alta intensidade e altos valores de rendimento quântico de fluorescência (0,60 a 0,93) quando dissolvidos em soluções alcalinas. Os derivados de fluoresceínas foram aplicados na confecção de células solares de Gratzel apresentando eficiências de conversão que variaram de 0,11 a 0,23%.

The Fridel-Crafts acylation reaction occurs basically by a reaction between aromatic compounds with acyl halides or anhydrides in the presence of a Lewis acid. Thus, in this work it was studied the use of niobium pentachloride as Lewis acid in Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction, aiming the synthesis of sensitizing dyes. The fluorescein derivatives were synthesized from phenolic derivatives and anhydride derivatives, in the presence of NbCl5 and under heating. The products of interest where obtained in yields of 54 to 90% and in short reaction times ranging from 50 to 200 minutes. The fluorescein derivatives presented absorption and emission within the range of visible and with high intensity and high fluorescence quantum yield (0,60 to 0,93) when dissolved in alkaline pH. Due to these good results obtained in the photophysical study, the fluorescein derivatives were applied in Gratzel solar cells, presenting convertion efficiencies that ranging from 0.11 to 0.23%. It has also been studied the application of fluorescein derivatives as initiator dyes in photopolymerization reactions of dimethacrylated resins. This resins have been widely used in dentistry, due this properties as, low toxicity, low solubility in water and high mechanical resistance. The fluoresceins promoted the photopolymerization of dimethacrylated resins with conversion values ranging from 1.2... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / The solvent-free microwave-assisted regiospecific synthesis of a series of 5-trihalomethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (7 - 10) from the cyclocondensation of 1,1,1- trihalo-4-alkoxy-3-alken-2-ones (5 - 6),[ CX3COC(R)2=C(R)1OR, where X = Cl, F; R = Me, Et; R2 = H, Me and R1 = H, Me, Et, Pr, iso-Pr, Bu, iso-Bu, tert-Bu, iso - Pen, Ph, 4-Me-Ph, 4-MeO-Ph, 4-NO2-Ph, 4-Cl-Ph, 4-Br-Ph, 4-F-Ph, H, OEt,] with carboxymethyl hydrazine or pentafluorophenyl hydrazine is described. The reaction was performed in a 1:1.2 molar ratio of alken-2-ones and hydrazine, in a single reaction step, for 6-12 minutes, in good yields (70-98%). The advantages obtained by using microwave irradiation under solvent-free conditions, rather than a conventional method, were also demonstrated. The 4-alkoxy-1,1,1-trihalo-3-alken-2-ones (4-5) were obtained from the reaction of cloreto de trichloroacetyl cloride or trifluoroacetic anhydride with enol ethers or acetals in presence of pyridine, solvent free and microwave induced techniques. / Este trabalho descreve a sintese rgeioespecifica de uma serie de 4,5-diidro-1Hpirazóis (7 - 10), por ciclocondensação de 4-alcóxi-1,1,1-trialo-3-alquen-2-onas, [ CX3COC(R)2=C(R)1OR, com X = Cl, F; R = Me, Et; R2 = H, Me; R1 = H, Me, Et, Pr, i-Pr, c-Pr, Bu, i-Bu, t-Bu, i-Pen, Pen, Ph, 4-Me-Ph, 4-MeO-Ph, 4-NO2-Ph, 4-Cl-Ph, 4-Br-Ph, 4-F-Ph, H, OEt] com carboximetil ou pentafluorfenil hidrazinas. As condições reacionais utilizadas para a síntese dos 4,5-diidropirazóis envolveu técnicas ambientalmente corretas, em um único passo e na ausência de solvente, usando 1:1.2 de relação molar das β-alcoxivinil cetonas e hidrazinas, em um único passo com um tempo de 6-12 minutos, com bons rendimentos (70-98%). Foram demonstradas as vantagens da condição, sem solvente e com uso de irradiação de microondas sobre o metodo convencional. A sintese das 4-alcóxi-1,1,1-trialo-3- alquen-2-onas (5 - 6) foram obtidas por reações de cloreto de tricloro acetila ou anidrido trifluoracetico com enoleteres ou acetais na presensa de piridina, livre de sonvente e tecnicas induzidas por microondas.

Triquentrinas A são produtos naturais marinhos com atividade biológica e alta complexidade estrutural. Estes fatores tornam estes alcaloides e compostos análogos, como os herbindóis, alvos para a síntese total e plataforma para o desenvolvimento de novas metodologias sintéticas. Nesta Dissertação de Mestrado, procurou-se completar a síntese estereosseletiva da (+)-cis-triquentrina A empregando-se intermediários sintéticos protegidos com o grupo benzila que poderão ser usados para a futura prospecção de novos compostos com atividade biológica. A rota proposta baseia-se na obtenção do ácido (S)-3-(1-benzil-4-etil-1H-indol-7-il)butanóico, um intermediário-chave já descrito por Silva e colaboradores no percurso da síntese total da (+)-trans-triquentrina A, e da finalização da síntese de acordo com a abordagem proposta pelo grupo de RajanBabu para conversão do análogo protegido com grupo tosila à (+)-cis-triquentrina A. A resolução enzimática do intermediário-chave com lipase de Pseudomonas cepacia imobilizada em terra diatomácea foi otimizada, resultando em rendimentos de 32% e 99% ee na metade do tempo descrito anteriormente. Na etapa-chave da síntese, o (S)-ácido foi submetido a uma acilação de Friedel-Crafts intramolecular na presença de anidrido trifluoroacético que produziu o produto de ciclização desejado com 40% de rendimento. Na etapa final da síntese, o intermediário sintético protegido com grupo benzila não pode ser convertido à (+)-cis-triquentrina A, empregando-se a metodologia desenvolvida para a redução do composto análogo tosilado, dada a diferença de reatividade imposta pela troca do grupo protetor. As etapas realizadas até o penúltimo intermediário sintético (S)-8, consta com 10 etapas e rendimento global de 1,3%. viii As diferenças eletrônicas e estruturais relacionadas a diferentes grupos protetores poderão ser refletidas em variações na atividade antiproliferativa de indóis relacionados a triquentrinas. Ainda no interesse de preparar moléculas para envio à análises de atividade antiproliferativa preparou-se um composto relacionado à síntese da trans-triquentrina A tendo como etapa-chave uma contração de anel mediada por I(III) em 21% de rendimento, cujo trabalho foi incluído nos anexos. / Trikentrins A are marine natural products with biological activity and high structural complexity. These factors make these alkaloids and analogous compounds, such as herbidoles, targets for total synthesis and platform for the development of new synthetic methodologies. In this Master\'s Dissertation, we attempted to complete the stereoselective synthesis of (+)-cis-trikentrin A using synthetic intermediates protected with the benzyl group that could be used for the future prospection of new compounds with biological activity. The proposed route is based on the preparation of (S)-3-(1-benzyl-4-ethyl-1H-indol-7-yl) butanoic acid, a key intermediate already described by Silva et al., in the course of total synthesis (+)-trans-triquentrin A, and the final part of the synthesis according to the approach proposed by the RajanBabus group for conversion of the protected analogue with tosyl group to (+)-cis-trikentrin A. The enzymatic resolution of the key intermediate with Pseudomonas cepacia lipase immobilized on diatomaceous earth was optimized, resulting in 32% yield and 99% ee in half the time described above. In the key step of the synthesis, the (S)-acid was subjected to an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation in the presence of trifluoroacetic anhydride which yielded the desired cyclization product in 40% yield. In the final step of the synthesis, the synthetic intermediate protected with benzyl group couldnt be converted to (+)-cis-trikentrin A, employing the methodology developed for the reduction of the tosylated analogous compound, given the difference of reactivity imposed by exchange of the protective group. The steps carried out up to the synthetic intermediate (S)-8, consists of 10 steps and overall yield of 1.3%. Electronic and structural differences related to different protective groups may be reflected in variations in the antiproliferative activity of indoles related to trikentrins. A compound related to the synthesis of trans-triquentrin A having as its key step an I(III) mediated ring contraction in 21% yield was also prepared in the interest of preparing molecules for antiproliferative activity analysis, whose work was included in the appendix.

Based on the success of diacyl-tert-butylhydrazines RH-5849 and RH-1266 in controlling agricultural crop pests, we endeavored to synthesize our own diacylbenzyl- and arylhydrazine derivatives for use against the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae. In the process of producing a library of compounds for assay against An. gambiae, it became clear that employing regioselective acylation techniques (in molecules that feature two nucleophilic, acyclic nitrogen atoms α to one another) would be imperative. Synthesis of the library derivatives proceeded rapidly and after topical assay, we found three compounds that were more toxic than the RH-series leads. One of the three displayed an LD50 value of half that of RH-1266, though patch clamp assay concluded that toxicity was not necessarily linked to inhibition of mosquito K+ channel Kv2.1. The acylation of monoarylhydrazines appears simple, but its regioselectivity is poorly understood when assumed as a function of basicity correlating to nucleophilic strength. We determined the ratio of the rate constants for distal to proximal N-acylation using 19F NMR spectroscopic analysis of reactions of 4-fluorophenylhydrazine with limiting (0.2 equiv) acylating agent in the presence of various bases. Acid anhydrides gave consistent preference for distal acylation. The selectivity of acylation by acyl chlorides when using pyridine gives strong distal preference, whereas use of triethylamine or aqueous base in conjunction with aroyl chlorides showed a moderate preference for proximal acylation. This observation yielded a convenient one-step method to synthesize proximal aroylarylhydrazines in yields comparable or superior to that provided by the standard three-step literature approach. Combined with NMR evidence of the distal nitrogen as the unambigiously stronger base of the two nitrogens, we propose a single electron transfer mechanism that predicts the regiochemistry of arylhydrazines toward acylating agents better than the nucleophilicity model based on pKa values. While synthesizing the acylhydrazine library for assay against An. gambiae, NMR spectroscopy revealed rotational isomerisms of two types: chiral helicity (M)/(P) and acyl (E)/(Z)-isomerism due to hindered rotation. Variable temperature NMR allowed the measurement of N-N bond rotational barriers, as well as estimate the barrier of (E)/(Z) interconversion. We obtained the X-ray crystal structures of four diacylhydrazines to test this hypothesis and revealed both the twist conformation around the N-N bond axis and (E)/(Z)-isomerism around the proximal acyl group. Computation (which agreed with the crystal structures) allowed us to estimate which (E)/(Z)-isomers were most likely being observed in solution at room temperature by NMR spectroscopy. In addition, we were able to calculate transition structures corresponding to N-N bond rotational barriers of (E,Z)- and (Z,Z)-isomers of model molecules and rationalize the difference in coalescence temperatures between (E,Z)- and (Z,Z)-isomers. / Ph.

Ce travail a consisté à étudier la N et/ou O acylation enzymatique d’alcool aminés et de dipeptides.Une étude préliminaire consacrée à l’acylation enzymatique d’une molécule modèle, le 6-amino-1-hexanol a démontré la capacité de la lipase B de Candida antarctica immobilisée à catalyser l’acylation de ce substrat dans différents milieux réactionnels. La mise en œuvre de cette réaction en solvants organiques (hexane, 2-méthyl-2-butanol) a conduit à la formation du produit diacylé avec un rendement de 85 % montrant l’absence de chimio-sélectivité de la réaction. L’utilisation de système sans solvant à base d’acide gras libre et de CO2 supercritique a permis d’orienter la chimio-sélectivité de la réaction en faveur de la O-acylation. Les liquides ioniques à cation de type imidazolium et à anions faiblement nucléophiles ont conduit à un taux de conversion de l’alcool aminé de l’ordre de 99 % tout en conservant l’absence de chimio-sélectivité observée en solvant organique. L’étude s’est ensuite focalisée sur l’acylation de dipeptides modèles tels que la Lys-Ser,HCl et la Ser-Leu. L’étude de l’acylation catalysée par la lipase B de Candida antarctica immobilisée de la Lys-Ser,HCl a montré une sélectivité exclusive en faveur de l’acylation de la fonction amine en position e, indépendamment du milieu réactionnel. La O-acylation de la Ser-Leu a permis de mettre en évidence l’influence du groupe carboxylique Cterminal électro-attracteur de Lys-Ser sur la réactivité de la fonction hydroxyle de la sérine. Enfin, la N-acylation enzymatique d’un dipeptide naturel bioactif, la carnosine a été réalisée d’une part en solvant organique, catalysée par la lipase B de Candida antarctica immobilisée et d’autre part, en milieu aqueux biphasique catalysée par l’acyl-transférase de Candida parapsilosis. L’acylation de la carnosine, conduisant à la synthèse de N-oléyl carnosine, n’affecte pas son activité inhibitrice de la xanthine oxydase et semble améliorer son activité anti-radicalaire vis-à-vis de l’anion superoxyde / The present work consisted in studying the N and/or O-enzymatic acylation of amino alcohols and dipeptides. A preliminary study was firstly undertaken about the enzymatic acylation of a bifunctionnal model molecule, 6-amino-1-hexanol and demonstrated the ability of the lipase B of Candida antarctica to catalyze the acylation of this substrate in different reaction media. The reaction performed in organic solvents (hexane, 2-methyl-2-butanol) allowed to the synthesis of the diacylated product with a substrate conversion yield of 85 %, showing the absence of chimio-selectivity of the reaction. The use of a solvent-free system constituted of free fatty acid and the use of supercritical carbon dioxide permitted to orientate the selectivity of the reaction in favour of the O-acylation. Ionic liquids with imidazolium cation and few nucleophilic anions led to a substrate conversion of 99 % and to maintain the absence of chemo-selectivity observed in organic solvents. Then, the study focused on the acylation of model dipeptides like Lys-Ser, HCl and Ser-Leu. Results relative to the acylation of Lys-Ser, HCl catalyzed by the lipase B of Candida antarctica immobilized showed a selectivity in favour of the acylation of the e-amino function independently of the reaction medium. The Ser-Leu O-acylation permitted to demonstrate the influence of the molecular environment (electro-attractor C terminal carboxylic group) on the reactivity of the serine hydroxyl function. Finally, the enzymatic acylation of a bioactive dipeptide was catalyzed by the lipase B of Candida antarctica immobilized in organic solvent and by the acyl-transferase of Candida parapsilosis in lipid-aqueous biphasic medium. The acylation of carnosine allowed the N-oleyl carnosine synthesis. The acylation of carnosine did not affect its xanthine oxydase inhibition activity and seemed to improve its superoxyde anion scavenging property

Die Assemblierung von Influenzaviren erfolgt an Rafts der apikalen Wirtszellplasmamembran mit denen das Hämagglutinin (HA) über Acylierungen im C-Terminus und hydrophobe Aminosäuren seiner Transmembrandomäne (TMD) interagiert. M2 besitzt eine cytoplasmatische amphiphile Helix (AH), die ebenso potenzielle Raft-Motive aufweist: Eine Acylierung und Cholesterol-Bindemotive. In dieser Arbeit wurde per Konfokalmikroskopie an polarisierten Zellen, die fluoreszenzmarkierte M2-Varianten exprimierten, gezeigt, dass diese M2-Motive nicht für den apikalen Transport, der vermutlich durch Raft-ähnliche Vesikel erfolgt, benötigt werden. Messungen des Förster-Resonanzenergietransfers über Fluoreszenz-Lebenszeit-Mikroskopie (FLIM-FRET) in der Plasmamembran lebender Zellen, die fluoreszenzmarkiertes HA und M2 koexprimierten, ergaben, dass diese Motive auch nicht für die Interaktion mit den durch HA, in Abhängigkeit von dessen Raft-Motiven, stabilisierten Raft-Domänen notwendig sind. Mittels reverser Genetik konnten infektiöse WSN-Viren mit fehlender Acylierung am Ende der HA-TMD, nicht jedoch Viren ohne die zwei cytoplasmatischen Acylierungen hergestellt werden. Weiterhin ergaben Wachstumsanalysen, dass die Acylierung von HA und M2 für den gleichen Schritt des viralen Replikationszyklus von Bedeutung sind. Für die M2-AH wurde postuliert, dass sie die Membrankrümmung detektiert und durch Insertion in die Wirtszellmembran die Virusabschnürung bewirkt. Infektiöse Viren ohne M2 oder ohne die AH konnten ebenso wie Viren mit M2 mit einer Helix mit reduzierter Amphiphilität in dieser Arbeit nicht hergestellt werden. Allerdings führte die Substitution der AH durch typische krümmungsdetektierende oder modulierende Helices zu Viren, deren Wachstum um zwei bis vier Titerstufen im Vergleich zum Wildtyp reduziert war. Die Helix-Amphiphilität scheint wichtig zu sein, aber auch die Sequenz oder bestimmte Aminosäuren sind offenbar für eine effiziente Virusreplikation notwendig. / The assembly of influenza virus particles occurs at the apical plasma membrane of the host cell at membrane rafts which the hemagglutinin (HA) interacts with via acylations in its C-terminal region and via hydrophobic amino acids in the transmembrane domain (TMD). M2 possesses a cytoplasmic amphiphilic helix (AH) that also contains potential raft motifs: an acylation and cholesterol-binding motifs. In this work, confocal microscopy of polarised cells, which were expressing fluorescently labelled M2-variants, demonstrated that these motifs of M2 are not required for apical transport, which is assumed to be mediated by raft-like vesicles. Furthermore, FLIM-FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer measured via fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy) analyses, performed in the plasma membrane of living cells coexpressing fluorescently labelled HA and M2, revealed that these M2-motifs are not required for association with the large coalesced raft phase organised by HA. In contrast, deleting HA’s raft-targeting features clearly reduced clustering with M2. While the removal of the two cytoplasmic acylations prevented the rescue of infectious virus by reverse genetics, a mutant virus without acylation in the HA-TMD could be rescued. Moreover, growth analyses revealed that the acylations of HA and M2 are important for the same step in the viral replication cycle. It has been postulated that the M2-AH detects membrane curvature and accomplishes membrane scission by inserting into the host cell membrane. Viruses without M2, without the M2-AH or with M2 containing a helix with reduced amphiphilicity could not be produced in this work. However, substituting the AH by typical curvature-sensing or -generating helices led to viruses with two to four orders of magnitude reduced growth as compared to wildtype virus. The amphiphilicity of the helix seems to be important, but also the sequence or specific amino acids appear to be necessary for an efficient virus replication.
