Synthesis and direct assay of large macrocycle diversities by combinatorial late-stage modification at picomole scale

Gerardo Turcatti, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Christian Heinis, Alessandro Angelini, Gontran Sangouard, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Mischa Schüttel, Ganesh Kumar Mothukuri, Manuel Leonardo Merz, Sevan Mleh Habeshian, Cristina Diaz Perlas, Zsolt Bognár

Macrocycles have excellent potential as therapeutics due to their ability to bind challenging targets. However, generating macrocycles against new targets is hindered by a lack of large macrocycle libraries for high-throughput screening. To overcome this, ...

Picomole-Scale Synthesis and Screening of Macrocyclic Compound Libraries by Acoustic Liquid Transfer

Gerardo Turcatti, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Christian Heinis, Alessandro Zorzi, Gontran Sangouard, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Sangram Shivdas Kale, Mischa Schüttel, Yu Teng Wu, Cristina Diaz Perlas

Macrocyclic compounds are an attractive class of therapeutic ligands against challenging targets, such as protein-protein interactions. However, the development of macrocycles as drugs is hindered by the lack of large combinatorial macrocyclic libraries, w ...

Loss of Bacterial Cell Pole Stabilization in Caulobacter crescentus Sensitizes to Outer Membrane Stress and Peptidoglycan-Directed Antibiotics

Gerardo Turcatti, Marc Chambon, Julien Bortoli Chapalay

Rod-shaped bacteria frequently localize proteins to one or both cellpoles in order to regulate processes such as chromosome replication or polar organ-elle development. However, the roles of polar factors in responses to extracellularstimuli have been gene ...

Macrocycle synthesis strategy based on step-wise “adding and reacting” three components enables screening of large combinatorial libraries

Gerardo Turcatti, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Christian Heinis, Alessandro Angelini, Alessandro Zorzi, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Sangram Shivdas Kale, Kaycie Marie Butler, Ganesh Kumar Mothukuri, Carl Leonard Stenbratt

Macrocycles provide an attractive modality for drug development, but generating ligands for new targets is hampered by the limited availability of large macrocycle libraries. We have established a solution-phase macrocycle synthesis strategy in which three ...

An optimized and validated 384-well plate assay to test platelet function in a high-throughput screening format

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Marc Chambon, Olivier Burri, Rodrigo Araujo Fraga Da Silva, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Maiia Bragina, Augusto Martins Lima

Despite significant advances in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, antiplatelet therapies are still associated with a high risk of hemorrhage. In order to develop new drugs, methods to measure platelet function must be adapted for the high-throughpu ...

Thiol-to-amine cyclization reaction enables screening of large libraries of macrocyclic compounds and the generation of sub-kilodalton ligands

Gerardo Turcatti, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Christian Heinis, Van Manh Pham, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Sangram Shivdas Kale, Xudong Kong, Milan Bergeron-Brlek, Patrick Andreas Gonschorek, João Miguel Franco Machado

Macrocyclic compounds are an attractive modality for drug development, but the limited availability of large, structurally diverse macrocyclic libraries hampers the discovery of leads. Here, we describe the discovery of efficient macrocyclization reactions ...

A Universal Assay for Aminopeptidase Activity and Its Application for Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Drug Discovery

Gerardo Turcatti, Marc Chambon, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Elena Goun, Arkadiy Bazhin, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, James William Collins

Aminopeptidases, such as dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4, CD26), are potent therapeutic targets for pharmacological interventions because they play key roles in many important pathological pathways. To analyze amino-peptidase activity in vitro (including hig ...
