The acetylcholine (ACh) receptor system belongs to rhodopsin GPCR family and is an integral membrane protein divided into two types: muscarinic and nicotinic. The naturally occurring neurotransmitter acetylcholine binds to these two receptor systems non- selectively. The regulatory effects of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine are diverse ranging from autonomic nervous system and the central nervous system through different types of neurons innervated by cholinergic inputs. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are divided into five receptor subtypes (M1-M5). In general, M1, M3 and M5 receptor subtypes are coupled via Gq like proteins; while M2 and M4 subtypes are coupled to Gi-proteins. Muscarinic receptors are widely distributed in the body where they mediate a variety of important physiological effects. mAChRs have been the target of drug development efforts for the treatment of various disorders including overactive bladder, Alzheimer's disease, pain, cognitive impairment, drug addiction, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. The development subtype selective ligands possess a challenge due to a high degree of homology among mAChR subtypes, however the recent availability of the X-ray crystal structure for the M2 and M3 receptor can be utilized for the design of new ligands. The pharmacophoric requirements for cholinergic ligands have been reported by numerous investigators based on structure-activity relationship (SAR) and/or molecular modeling data of known muscarinic ligands. These fundamental requirements are useful when designing muscarinic ligands but have provided little guidance in the design of subtype selective compounds. Our interest in developing novel muscarinic receptor ligands led to the design of lactone-based ligands using an approach similar to that reported by Kaiser et al. Preliminary binding studies of our previously synthesized lactone based compounds indicated that several were nonselective, low affinity (IC50 = µM range) muscarinic agonists (based on preliminary in vivo data). Hence based on the background information, we decided to utilize the previously synthesized lactone parent compound as lead molecule set out to investigate a new series of lactone based compounds in order improve the affinity and later the selectivity of ligands. Bioisosteric approach has been investigated for the metabolic lability of the lactone ring. Four probable bioisosteres have been evaluated: tetrahydrofuran, 1,3-benzodioxole, oxazolidinone and chromone. Thermal/microwave assisted synthesis has been utilized in the generation of intermediates as well as final compounds. Preliminary screening and further evaluation (IC50/ subtype selectivity) has resulted in the identification of promising fragments as bioisosteres for the lactone ring. / Pharmaceutical Sciences / Accompanied by one .pdf file.

Les oxazolidinones sont des composés prometteurs pour des applications industrielles, mais aucune méthode ne convient à ce jour pour les produire à large échelle, à cause de l'utilisation de réactifs et de catalyseurs métalliques nocifs pour la santé et l'environnement. Une nouvelle méthode de synthèse de ces composés a donc été élaborée en utilisant des aminoalcools et du carbonate de diéthyle. Cette réaction est catalysée par un hydrogénocarbonate d'imidazolium biosourcé qui est produit par voie électrochimique afin de réduire son impact sur l'environnement.Cette méthode de synthèse d'oxazolidinones a ensuite été appliquée à la synthèse d'une oxazolidinone biosourcée. Pour cela, la synthèse d'un aminoalcool a été réalisée, et sa structure a été établie à partir de réactifs pouvant être issus de ressources renouvelables. La voie de synthèse a fait l'objet de modifications pour permettre la production de l'aminoalcool à plus grande échelle dans des conditions plus sûres.La seconde thématique de ces travaux porte sur les liquides ioniques, des sels liquides très peu volatils, couramment utilisés comme solvants. Ces composés sont généralement chers, ainsi, plutôt que de les éliminer à la fin de leur utilisation, il est plus intéressant de les recycler. Mais leur faible volatilité empêche leur recyclage par distillation, contrairement aux solvants organiques usuels. Il a ainsi été développé une première méthode électrochimique, économe en énergie, qui permet le recyclage de liquides ioniques biosourcés par la formation d'un hydrogénocarbonate d'imidazolium intermédiaire. Cette méthode a été comparée à d'autres procédés de recyclage grâce à une étude préliminaire du cycle de vie.Mots clés : oxazolidinone, aminoalcool, imidazolium, liquide ionique, biosourcé, recyclage, électrochimie, développement durable, écoconception, cycle de vie / Oxazolidinones are promising compounds for industrial applications, but nowadays there is not convenient method to produce them on large scale, because of the use of reactants and metallic catalysts harmful for health and environment. A new synthesis method of these compounds was thus elaborated using aminoalcohols and diethyl carbonate. This reaction is catalysed by a biobased imidazolium hydrogen carbonate which is produced by an electrochemical pathway in order to reduce its impact on the environment.This oxazolidinones synthesis method was then applied to the synthesis of a biobased oxazolidinone. To achieve this, an aminoalcohol synthesis was realised, and its structure was established from reactants that can come from renewable resources. The synthesis pathway was the object of modifications to permit the production of the aminoalcohol on a larger scale in safer conditions.The second thematic of these works is based on ionic liquids, very low volatile liquid salts, commonly used as solvents. These compounds are usually expensive, so, rather than to eliminate them at the end of their use, it is more interesting to recycle them. But their low volatility prevents their recycling by distillation, unlike common organic solvents. So, a first electrochemical method was developed, low energy consuming, permitting the recycling of biobased ionic liquids by the formation of an imidazolium hydrogen carbonate as intermediate. This method was compared with other recycling processes through a preliminary life cycle study.Keywords: oxazolidinone, aminoalcohol, imidazolium, ionic liquid, biobased, recycling, electrochemistry, sustainable development, eco-design, life cycle

La découverte de stratégies thérapeutiques innovantes contre les bactéries pathogènes est cruciale. Le fer est essentiel pour la prolifération bactérienne et les bactéries pathogènes excrètent des molécules organiques de faible poids moléculaire, appelées sidérophores, pour acquérir le fer(III). Les systèmes d’acquisition de fer sidérophores-dépendants sont transmembranaires et peuvent être utilisés comme des portes d’entrée pour faire pénétrer des conjugués sidérophores-antibiotiques dans la bactérie dans le cadre d’une stratégie dite du cheval de Troie. Nous avons synthétisé des conjugués constitués d’analogues des sidérophores pyochéline, aminochéline ou azotochéline couplés à des oxazolidinones antibiotiques. Dans la majorité de nos approches la liaison entre le sidérophore et l’antibiotique est le résultat d’une réaction de chimie click. La synthèse et les propriétés biologiques des vecteurs et des conjugués synthétisés sont présentées dans ce manuscrit. / Constant discovery of innovative therapeutic strategies against pathogenic bacteria is crucial. Iron is essential for bacterial proliferation since it is integrated in the active site of essential enzymes. Many pathogenic bacteria excrete low molecular weight secondary metabolites called siderophores in order to promote iron (III) acquisition. Transmembrane siderophore-dependent iron uptake systems can be used as gates by siderophore-antibiotic conjugates. In this context, we synthesized conjugates between analogs of pyochelin, aminochelin or azotochelin with oxazolidinones antibiotics. In this project many of the conjugation between vectors and antibiotics were the result of click chemistry reactions even the use of peptidic bonds was also explored. Synthesis and biological properties of conjugates and vectors are presented in this manuscript.

Ce travail de thèse porte sur la chimie organométallique des complexes pince indényle/indénediide de palladium et de platine et leurs applications en catalyse coopérative métal-ligand. Le premier chapitre de ce manuscrit fait un point bibliographique non-exhaustif du domaine de la coopérativité métal-ligand, des travaux de Noyori sur l'hydrogénation asymétrique, jusqu'aux récents travaux de Milstein avec les ligands désaromatisés. Les ligands pince sont également présentés. Du premier exemple PCP décrit par Shaw jusqu'au CNC développé par Bezuidenhout. La versatilité de ces ligands est illustrée à travers quelques modifications permettant des réactivités originales ou l'isolation d'espèces hautement instables. Le second chapitre présente une nouvelle réaction de formation de cycle avec le complexe pince indénediide de palladium. Cette réaction implique pour la première fois deux molécules de substrat, le CO2 comme source C1 et les propargylamines/homopropargylamines. L'étude mécanistique du système a permis d'établir l'implication de la coopérativité métal-ligand. Ensuite, le troisième chapitre est un chapitre de chimie exploratoire. De nouvelles réactivités ont été étudiées avec les complexes pince de platine. L'activation de liaisons peu polaires telles que H-H et H-Si ont permis la réduction de liaisons insaturées. Les propositions mécanistiques, qu'il reste à confirmer, semblent indiquer que les métathèses ?, ainsi que les insertions migratoires, sont possibles avec ces complexes. Finalement, le dernier chapitre est consacré au développement d'un nouveau ligand pince ayant la particularité d'être hémilabile et ouvrant ainsi la voie à de nouvelles réactivités. Sa coordination au palladium, ainsi que la déprotonation de ce dernier, a permis le développement d'un complexe coopératif qui a été testé en cycloisomérisation. L'ensemble de ces travaux reflètent l'importance des ligands pince indényle/indénediide et de la coopérativité métal-ligand en catalyse. / This Ph.D. work deals with organometallic chemistry of indenyl/indenediide palladium and platinum pincer complexes and their applications in metal-ligand cooperative catalysis. The first chapter of this manuscript compiled a non-exhaustive bibliographic survey of the field of metal-ligand cooperation, from Noyori's system applied to the asymmetric hydrogenation, to the recent examples described by Milstein involving non-aromatic pincer ligands. Pincer ligands are also presented. Starting from the first example, in which Shaw shed light a PCP pincer, to the contemporary CNC pincer reported by Bezuidenhout. The versatility of those ligands is illustrated through few modulations allowing originals reactivities or stabilisation of highly unstable species. The second chapter is focused on the development of a new catalytic reaction with the indenediide palladium pincer complex. This reaction entail, for the first time, two substrates, the CO2 as a C1 source and propargylamines/homopropargylamines. The mechanistic studies turn out the importance of the metal-ligand cooperativity. Then, the third chapter concerns exploratory chemistry. New reactivities have been studied with the platinum complexes. The activation of low polar bond such as H-H and H-Si allowed the reduction of unsatured C-C bond. The mechanistic propositions, that remain to be confirmed, seem to indicate the feasibility of ? bond metathesis and migratory insertions. Finally, the last chapter is dedicated to the development of a new ligand. The latter showed the distinctive characteristic to be hemilabile, leading the way of new reactivities. His coordination to palladium, followed by his deprotonation to give rise to the non-innocent nature of the complex is presented, as well as the application of the resulting complex in the context of a cycloisomerisation. Those results are reflecting the importance of the indenyl and indenediide pincer ligands besides the metal-ligand cooperativity in catalysis.

Various anticancer and antibacterial agents have been synthesized via azide chemistry by taking advantage of carbohydrate. Starting from the synthesis of 14 glycosyl azides, a library of carbohydrate-oxazolidinone conjugates and a library of carbohydrate-cyclopamine conjugates with biological interests were synthesized based on a highly efficient "click reaction" assisted by sonication. Some of the conjugates have improved solubility and enhanced anticancer activity. A library of neomycin B derivatives with various modifications at the 5" position has been synthesized. Two leads exhibit prominent activity against both methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Antibacterial activities were measured when combined with other clinically used antibiotics and significant synergistic activities were observed. Three different classes of aryl N-glycosides have been synthesized by employing 1,4-naphthoquinone and glycosyl azides undergoing a [2+3] cycloaddition. Alkyl azides can also undergo the same cycloaddition. After the removal of the protecting group, a library of 9,10-anthraquinone derivatives with potential anticancer activity and a library of 2-aminomethylene-1,3-indanediones with novel antibacterial activity have been developed, respectively. A one-pot three-component [2+3] cycloaddition for the synthesis of 1-alkyl 1H-naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole-4,9-dione and 2-alkyl 2H-naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3] triazole-4,9-dione has been developed. By taking the advantage of their difference in basicity, both products can be obtained in good purity. Using an allylic azide rearrangement, a convenient method has been developed for the synthesis of several 2',3'-dideoxyaminoglycosides. The antibacterial activity of these novel aminoglycosides also confirms the indispensable role of the 2'-NH2 group for both neomycin and kanamycin classes of aminoglycosides. A novel structural motif containing the hexylaminocarbonyl groups at O-5 and/or O-6 of 2',3'-dideoxyneamine could lead to the production of new aminoglycosides against resistant bacteria.

Drug discovery contains many strategies, one of which is the privileged scaffold strategy. This strategy incorporates a similar molecular framework within a collection of drug-like compounds in order to target various receptors. These scaffolds are useful to drug discovery scientists since they assist in developing libraries as well as demonstrating selectivity to a target. Oxazolidinones are 5-membered heterocyclic compound containing an oxygen, a nitrogen, and a carbonyl within the ring system. In this present study, the oxazolidinone structure was utilized as a privileged scaffold to target serotonin receptor 7 (5-HT7), mutated BRAF kinase (BRAFV6000E), Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), and Cyclin-dependent protein kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6). Aryl piperazines and piperidines were integrated as another privileged scaffold to support the selectivity towards 5-HT7, while aminopyrimidines were employed to increase binding against the kinases. The 5-HT7 oxazolidinone series was successfully synthesized and analyzed against 5-HT7; however, the three kinase oxazolidinone series were not successfully synthesized.Candidemia is the most common bloodstream infection in the U.S. and is associated with high patient mortality rates. Due to prolonged and/or repeated clinical use of current antifungal agents, drug-resistant fungi have become an emerging problem. There is a need for new antifungals to assist in overcoming drug resistant fungi. In the second project outlined in this work, a series of ketoconazole analogs were designed and successfully synthesized. The ketoconazole analogs exhibited antifungal activity; however, no clear trends were observed in this series. Overall, the series exhibited less CYP3A4 inhibition than the parent compound, ketoconazole. / Pharmaceutical Sciences
