Three different binding modes - I

selective binding of one enantiomer

Page 4: Chiral Drugs & Enantioselective Additions€¦ · 2/11/2011  · Chiral Drugs & Enantioselective Additions The Active Site of an Enzyme Can Host Both Enantiomers of a Racemic Ligand

Three different binding modes - I

selective binding of one enantiomer

most common case:

only one enantiomer of a racemic mixture binds to a biological receptor

the other enantiomer can be regarded as “isomeric balast”

no effect in in vitro screens

Page 5: Chiral Drugs & Enantioselective Additions€¦ · 2/11/2011  · Chiral Drugs & Enantioselective Additions The Active Site of an Enzyme Can Host Both Enantiomers of a Racemic Ligand

individual binding of both enantiomers

Page 6: Chiral Drugs & Enantioselective Additions€¦ · 2/11/2011  · Chiral Drugs & Enantioselective Additions The Active Site of an Enzyme Can Host Both Enantiomers of a Racemic Ligand

Three different binding modes - II

individual binding of both enantiomers

second enantiomer shows different binding behavior than the first one

cooperative, side or counterproductive effects

only single-enantiomer drugs may be marketed

racemic mixtures are still preferentially used in primary screens

conclusion and question

additional aspect of chiral-drug action at primary drug targets(enzymes, ion channels, etc.)

multiple ligand binding more common than assumed?

interpretation of binding data should therefore be performed with even more caution.

new drug-discovery opportunities?

Conclusion & Question

Cu-catalyzed silane conjugate additions:

highly efficient and selective method for the synthesis ofβ-silyl carbonyl compounds with large substrate scope

1,6-additions possible (high yields, high selectivity)

β-silyl carbonyl compounds useful for further conversions and stable to common organometallics

useful in complex molecule synthesis?
