The structural and functional analogy between difluoromethylene bisphosphonate (CF2PP) and pyrophosphate (PPi) is investigated in a reaction with V(V) in the form of vanadate. The reaction of CF2PP with vanadate was investigated using 1.00 M KCl as supporting electrolyte over the ranges 3 < or = [CF2PP] < or = 60 mM and 2.06 < or = pH < or = 11.80. 51V, 19F, and 31P NMR spectroscopic studies showed that a 1:1 species was formed with an H+-dependent formation constant of 110 M-1 at pH 7.22. Results of solution experiments and ab initio calculations are consistent with CF2PP coordinating V(V) in a bidentate manner, as previously reported for PPi. Below pH 4, a minor complex forms, which is consistent with a 1:2 stoichiometry. This complex was also observed with pyrophosphate. The X-ray crystal structure of the monoprotonated difluoromethylene bisphosphonate anion (H[CF2PP]3-)-toludine complex is presented. The H[CF2PP]3- anion crystallized in the triclinic space group P with a = 12.7629(7) A, b = 13.3992(7) A, c = 17.1002(9) A, and V = 2584.4(2) A3, and Z = 2. Sheets of the layers of anions are connected through a network of H-bonds and separated by a layer of toludine cations. The structural features are investigated, and the CF2PP anion was found to be longer and wider than the corresponding PPi. Given the larger size of this anion compared to PPi, the chelation affinity upon CF2 substitution was found to be 4-5-fold reduced at neutral pH.

We demonstrate the use of the symmetrical diethyl(dimethyl)difluoromethylene bisphosphonate reagent for the synthesis of terminal and unsymmetrical difluoromethylene bisphosphonates, close analogues of biologically important molecules. The difference in reactivity of the methyl and ethyl groups in the symmetrical diethyl(dimthyl)difluoromethylene bisphosphonate is exploited in a stepwise demethylation-condensation sequence to functionalize either side of the reagent to allow the generation of a series of close bioisosteres of natural pyrophosphate molecules, including ADPr, CDP-glycerol and CDP-ribitol.

Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-IPs) are densely phosphorylated messenger molecules involved in numerous biological processes. PP-IPs contain one or two pyrophosphate group(s) attached to a phosphorylated myo-inositol ring. 5PP-IP is the most abundant PP-IP in human cells.

Three novel 8-oxo-dGTP bisphosphonate analogues of in which the bridging β,γ-oxygen is replaced by a methylene, fluoromethylene or difluoromethylene group (, respectively) have been synthesized from 8-oxo-dGMP by reaction of its morpholine 5'-phosphoramidate or preferably, its -methylimidazole 5'-phosphoramidate with -tributylammonium salts of the appropriate bisphosphonic acids, . The latter method also provides a convenient new route to . Analogues may be useful as mechanistic probes for the role of in abnormal DNA replication and repair.

Phosphonic and phosphinic acids, especially α-heteroatom-substituted ones, possess unique structural and physical features which enable them to act as hydrotically stable analogs to biological phosphates in biological processes. They also act as mimetics in the transition state of the protease-induced hydrolysis of dipeptides. The first half of this review focuses on selected new synthetic methods developed by our research group for the stereoselective synthesis of α-heteroatom-substituted phosphonic and phosphinic acid derivatives, including modified nucleotide analogs and phosphinyl dipeptide isosteres.

Ras proteins are members of a large family of GTPase enzymes that are commonly mutated in cancer where they act as dominant oncogenes. We previously developed an irreversible guanosine-derived inhibitor, SML-8-73-1, of mutant G12C RAS that forms a covalent bond with cysteine 12. Here we report exploration of the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of hydrolytically stable analogues of SML-8-73-1 as covalent G12C KRAS inhibitors.
