Metal Based Approach Jaouen and coworker: Hormonal vector Oxaliplatin Pt-N coordination bonds are too weak - Hydrolyses too quickly What other organometallic groups can be used? S. Top et al. J. Organometal. Chem. 2001, 637, 500
Organometallic Approach: Metallocenes Organometallic chemistry: - Strong metal-carbon covalent bonds instead of weak coordination bonds Antitumor activity: - different mechanism from that of cisplatin complexes Ferrocene: - 18 electrons inert gas configuration: very stable - Chemistry is similar to ordinary aromatic compounds - Lipophilic S. Top et al. J. Organometal. Chem. 2001, 637, 500 S. Top et al. Chem. Eur. J. 2003, 9, 5223

Structural Diversity • Natural products display a high diversity of molecular skeletons: • distinctive 3-D conformations • Defined structures are important for their unique biological properties • Important challenge Bregman, H.; Caroll, P.J.; Meggers, E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 877
Outline • Target : Kinase; ATP binding site • Known inhibitor: Staurosporine • Metal scaffold • Synthetic approaches and development • Diversity oriented synthesis
Protein Kinases • Protein Kinases: • Phosphorylation of proteins : turn them on or off • Due to their involvement in various forms of cancers, PTKs have become prominent targets for therapeutics • Regulate the majority of cellular pathways e.g DNA replication, cell growth • Most kinases contain a 250-300 amino acid domain with a conserved core structure, compromising a binding pocket for ATP • These domains are more or less homologous Blume-Jensen. P.; Hunter, T. Nature, 2002, 411, 355 Fischer, P.M.Curr. Med. Chem. 2004, 11, 1583
ATP Binding • ATP-binding site is an ubiquitous “receptor” in nature • Most kinase inhibitors mimic mainly the adenine portion of ATP • Approach is limited in terms of selectivity Fischer, P.M.Curr. Med. Chem. 2004, 11, 1583
Bioorganometallic Chemistry: Staurosporine • discovered in 1977 while screening for microbials • has gained great interest since it was reported to be potent against protein kinases • Relatively potent; IC50 in the nanomolar range Down side: Lacks specificity Derivatives with modulated specificities are in preclinical trials as anticancer drugs Omura, S. et al.

A Metal for Structure Metals can be envisioned as hypervalent carbons • new specificity can be achieved • remove the limits imposed by the organic framework Transition metals provide an expanded set of coordination geometries for the generation of molecular diversity Octahedral with 6 different substituents can form 30 different stereoisomers Meggers, E. Curr. Opin. Chem. Biol. 2007, 11, 287
