Since MycetOS is diversifying we decided as from 2023 to place the monthly meetings no longer under a compound series but separately in this repository.

AndreaOtago commented 7 months ago

This year some Otago students are again making benzoxazoles (primarily for a DNDi project but also sent in here), just FYI although I think grouped under series 5 'benzimidazoles' they are not benzimidazoles. You could also include @csuth22 Charlotte at Imperial, she may also be making/have made some novel benzoxazoles with material spare.

Hi Klementine,

We have also been looking at related carbazole compounds.

In terms of availability I can do: Monday March 11th (8 pm UK, 7 am SYD, 9 am NZ) I am unsure what timezone the day of Monday is in, if this is 8pm UK on a Monday this means it is Tuesday morning in NZ. So yes for Andrea if this is Tues 12 march 9am NZ time.

Wednesday March 13th (9 am UK, 8 pm SYD, 10 pm NZ)

Thursday March 14th (9 am UK, 8 pm SYD, 10 pm NZ) Andrea

MFernflower commented 7 months ago

@P-Rayner @JuliaSarju welcome back! The carbazoles are indeed part of series 3 - I cannot rename the github repository without it breaking things so that is why it still says phenothiazines!

@lferrins data from your carbazole molecules is now in the master list of opensourcemycetoma!!

JuliaSarju commented 7 months ago

Thanks! Good to be back :)

SianWhitgift commented 7 months ago

Hi Klementine,

My availability for Whitgift:

Tuesday March 12th (9 am UK, 8 pm SYD, 10 pm NZ)

Wednesday March 13th (8 pm UK, 7 am SYD, 9 am NZ)

Thanks

KlementineJBS commented 7 months ago

It looks like Monday March 11th (8 pm UK, 7 am SYD, 9 am NZ) is our winner - my apologies for not being clearer with this one, for us antipodeans it will indeed be Tuesday morning. I'll make a calendar invite shortly and pin it to the first post.

KlementineJBS commented 7 months ago

Can @mattodd or someone else who has their emails please add the folks from Whitgift and Sevenoaks?

PaulMcKeatingSevenoaks commented 6 months ago

Hi. Will try to do Monday March 11th for Sevenoaks.

eloizidou commented 6 months ago

@KlementineJBS these are the minutes from the school meeting. It's very likely I missed something, can you please check and update as necessary? Many thanks.

Minutes from schools/University meeting March 11th/12th

Present: Klementine Burrell-Sander Peter Rayner Anthony Andrea Vernall Paul McKeating Mat Todd Erika Loizidou

Aminothiazoles (Series 2)

• Klementine plans to make new analogues and at the moment is looking for analogues that can be made from relatively safe starting material so that they can be carried out at a school • Erika updated on the aminothiazole analogues prepared by the MSc students at the UCL School of Pharmacy, in the summer of 2023: o 22 analogues were sent for biological evaluation and of the ones that were tested none showed significant activity. o The next step would be to try to identify targets for these molecules and test for activity either through assays or computationally (when assay kits not available). Possible targets that had been linked to the mechanism of action of series 2 agents are: fungal histone deacetylase enzymes, CYP51, fungal kinases and the fungal proteasome. o Action: Erika needs to look into the assays and tell Klementine whether or how many of the aminothiazole analogues that were synthesized can be tested against any of these targets. o Mat, highlighted the potential of the dihalogenated analogues and asked whether there were any data on the analogues drawn in black (pending evaluation). Action: Klementine to look into this. o Mat, mentioned that Whitgift school will be visiting UCL on March 13th to check the purity of the analogues they synthesized (via NMR and LCMS).

Phenothiazines (Series 3)

Benzoxazoles (Series 5)

• Andrea updated on the benzoxazole series o Explained how to identify molecules to synthesize from DNDi wanted list of analogues (Open Synthesis Network) o At the moment, they are looking into the pharmacokinetic properties of the analogues they already have before deciding on how to proceed.

o Generally, the synthesis of benzoxazoles is easy involved an amide coupling (if coupling agents are used, column chromatography may be needed)

General discussion

• The synthesis of benzoxazole and aminothiazole analogues can be further extended by adding an additional step, i.e a Suzuki coupling. This may be useful for students who are working on this project over several weeks and are assessed on different components.

KlementineJBS commented 6 months ago

Looks great to me @eloizidou, I just added some formatting so that we can see the action points more clearly.

bebi78 commented 6 months ago

@KlementineJBS @PaulMcKeatingSevenoaks @mattodd @MFernflower Just wanted to add that the series 2 compound PyrTZ-4SCF3 (MYOS_00508_00_01, DNDI0004039860) showed moderate activity against M. m. (IC50 = 12.9 µM, IC90 = 15.3 µM). Because only one compound of this ´´reductive amination´´ series was prepared and tested so far, it seems to be possible that other substituents than SCF3 might lead to increased activities.

PyrTZ-4SCF3

MFernflower commented 6 months ago

I assume one would just change out the para substituted benzaldehyde? @bebi78

P-Rayner commented 6 months ago

Hi all, I've just uploaded the general procedures for the phenothiazine syntheses here. https://github.com/OpenSourceMycetoma/Series-3-Phenothiazines/issues/8

Any questions, the please let me know.
