Abstract
Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent deacylases involved in the regulation of fundamental cellular processes in both normal and diseased cells. Therefore, the development of selective inhibitors for this class of enzymes is of great interest. Herein, we report an optimized synthesis of Ac-ETDK(myristoyl)-AMC, a sirtuin 2 substrate that can be used to profile inhibitors in fluorescence-based assays. The presented synthesis is scalable and does not involve chromatographic purification, making this substrate readily available in few steps.

The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 3 h, where LC–MS indicated full conversion of starting material. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was split in two 50 mL Falcon tubes. Cold Et2O (30 mL for each Falcon tube) was added, resulting in precipitation of a white solid, which was isolated by centrifugation. Trituration with cold Et2O (4 × 20 mL) afforded Ac-Glu( t Bu)-Thr( t Bu)-Asp( t Bu)-Lys-AMC as a white solid (11, 167 mg, 76%). 1H NMR (600 MHz, DMSO-d 6): δ = 8.12 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 1 H), 8.05 (d, J = 7.3 Hz, 1 H), 7.99 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1 H), 7.76 (d, J = 1.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.72 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 1 H), 7.59 (d, J = 7.7 Hz, 1 H), 7.50 (dd, J = 8.6, 1.8 Hz, 1 H), 6.27 (s, 1 H), 4.71–4.63 (m, 1 H), 4.41–4.29 (m, 2 H), 4.25 (dd, J = 7.3, 3.7 Hz, 1 H), 3.94–3.85 (m, 1 H), 2.70 (dd, J = 15.9, 5.0 Hz, 1 H), 2.57–2.53 (m, 1 H, peak overlaps with solvent), 2.50 (m, 2 H, peak overlaps with solvent), 2.40 (s, 3 H), 2.26–2.19 (m, 2 H), 1.93–1.83 (m, 4 H), 1.76–1.58 (m, 3 H), 1.41–1.22 (m, 22 H), 1.15 (s, 9 H), 1.01 (d, J = 6.3 Hz, 3 H). 13C NMR (151 MHz, DMSO): δ = 171.7, 171.14, 171.06, 170.0, 169.5, 169.3, 169.0, 160.0, 153.6, 153.0, 142.1, 125.9, 115.2, 115.1, 112.3, 105.7, 80.3, 79.6, 74.0, 66.8, 57.1, 53.8, 51.8, 49.4, 41.4, 37.5, 32.9, 31.7, 31.4, 27.9, 27.7, 27.6, 27.2, 22.7, 22.4, 18.6, 17.9.

Myristoyl chloride (94 mg, 0.38 mmol, 1.2 equiv) was added, and the reaction mixture was allowed to reach r.t. Conversion of starting material was monitored by TLC (CH2Cl2–MeOH (9:1, v/v); Rf (starting material) = 0.0; Rf (myristoylated compd) = 0.7, achieving full conversion in approximately 1 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with CH2Cl2 (40 mL) and washed with aq HCl (0.5 M, 2 × 40 mL), sat NaHCO3 (2 × 40 mL), and brine (50 mL). The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford an off-white solid. The Ac-Glu( t Bu)-Thr( t Bu)-Asp( t Bu)-Lys(myristoyl)-AMC, containing excess myristic acid, was used in the next step without further purification (MALDI-TOF: m/z calcd for C57H92N6NaO13 + [M + Na]+: 1091.66; found: 1091.40). The solid residue was dissolved in TFA–CH2Cl2–H2O (12 mL, 50:48:2) for 90 min to remove protecting groups. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure, a solid was precipitated from cold Et2O (40 mL), and triturated with cold Et2O (2 × 25 mL). The resulting residue was then dissolved in aq NaOH (0.1 M, 30 mL) and stirred at r.t. for 90 min. The solution was then cooled on an ice-bath, and a solid was precipitated by aq HCl (0.2 M) to pH = 2. The solid was triturated with cold water (2 × 5 mL). The residue was lyophilized, affording Ac-Glu-Thr-Asp-Lys(myristoyl)-AMC (7) as a white solid (230 mg, 81%). 1H NMR (600 MHz, DMSO-d 6): δ = 12.28 (br s, 2 H), 10.36 (s, 1 H), 8.28 (d, J = 7.7 Hz, 1 H), 8.18 (d, J = 7.7 Hz, 1 H), 7.99 (d, J = 7.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.81 (d, J = 1.9 Hz, 1 H), 7.79–7.73 (m, 2 H), 7.71 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 1 H), 7.56 (dd, J = 8.7, 1.9 Hz, 1 H), 6.26 (d, J = 1.0 Hz, 1 H), 5.10 (s, 1 H), 4.63–4.57 (m, 1 H), 4.36–4.28 (m, 2 H), 4.25 (dd, J = 7.9, 4.4 Hz, 1 H), 4.06–3.99 (m, 1 H), 3.06–2.96 (m, 2 H), 2.74 (dd, J = 16.6, 5.6 Hz, 1 H), 2.59 (dd, J = 16.6, 7.4 Hz, 1 H), 2.40 (d, J = 1.0 Hz, 3 H), 2.31–2.21 (m, 2 H), 2.00 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 2 H), 1.96–1.84 (m, 4 H), 1.80–1.71 (m, 2 H), 1.68–1.60 (m, 1 H), 1.45–1.14 (m, 26 H), 1.05 (d, J = 6.3 Hz, 3 H), 0.84 (t, J = 7.0 Hz, 3 H).13C NMR (151 MHz, DMSO): δ = 173.9, 172.0, 171.9, 171.5, 171.2, 170.6, 169.9, 169.6, 160.0, 153.6, 153.0, 142.2, 125.8, 115.4, 115.1, 112.3, 105.7, 66.7, 58.0, 53.9, 52.2, 49.6, 38.2, 35.9, 35.4, 31.3, 31.2, 30.3, 29.04, 29.02, 29.00, 28.99, 28.93, 28.75 (2C), 28.69, 28.67, 27.1, 25.3, 22.8, 22.4, 22.1, 19.2, 18.0, 13.9.
