Abstract.: A series of 6-substituted 2-methoxypyridine and 2(1H)-pyridones was designed and synthesized for its evaluation in the molecular recognition of acetyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-b-D-galactopyranoside substrate. 1H-NMR titration (affinity constant K a determination) and chemical shift perturbation experiments were performed to evaluate the capacity of these receptors to form CH/p interactions with the substrate. The addition of 2-methoxypyridines to the substrate effected up-field shift for the H3, H4 and H5 proton signals and down-field shift for the H2 proton signal of galactopyranoside substrate. The determined affinity constant K a values for the association between 2(1H)-pyridones and galactopyranoside showed that molecular recognition was weak. These results have demonstrated the existence of weak CH/p interactions and have reflected their weak intermolecular nature. Finally DFT calculations were performed to illustrate the geometry of the molecular recognition between 2(1H)-pyridones and galactopyranoside.

Keywords: CH/p interactions, supramolecular chemistry, glycosides, non-covalent interactions, molecular recognition.

Resumen: Resumen. Se diseñó y sintetizó una serie de receptores 2(1H)-piridonas 6-sustiuídos así como sus derivados 2-metoxipiridnas para su evaluación en el reconocimiento molecular del sustrato acetil 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-metil-b-D-galactopiranósido. Se realizaron experimentos en 1H-RMN de titulación (determinación de la constante de afinidad K a ) y de perturbación del desplazamiento químico con el fin de evaluar la capacidad que tienen estos receptores para formar interacciones CH/p con el sustrato. La adición de 2-metoxipridinas al sustrato provocó el desplazamiento a campos altos de las señales de los protones H3, H4 y H5 y el desplazamiento a campos bajos de la señal del protón H2 del sustrato. Los valores de afinidad K a determinados para la asociación entre las 2(1H)-piridonas y el galactopiranósido mostraron que el reconocimiento molecular resultó muy débil, como es de esperarse. Estos resultados demostraron la existencia de las interacciones CH/p y reflejaron su naturaleza de fuerzas intermoleculares débiles. Finalmente se hicieron cálculos DFT para demostrar la geometría del reconocimiento molecular entre las 2(1H)-piridonas y el galactopiranósido.

Introduction

Molecular recognition processes are fundamental for living organisms, for example carbohydrates interact with nucleic acids and proteins, involving a wide range of biological processes [(1-5)]. Intermolecular CH/p weak interactions commonly participate in the binding between carbohydrates and lectins (proteins that specifically recognize carbohydrates) [(6-9)]. Crystallographic data have showed that inside carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) of lectins, aromatic residues of Trp, Tyr, His and Phe are mediating the recognition of carbohydrates through CH/p interactions [(8,10-14)].

CH/p interactions have a large contribution of London dispersion forces, which have an impact on the enthalpic term of the free energy [(15,16)]. Cooperativity of CH/p interactions is a property that becomes relevant when for example in D-galactose the C-H bonds in positions 3, 4 and 5 interact with the aromatic side chains of proteins [(17-20)]. The experimentally estimated energy for CH/p interaction for the carbohydrate-aromatic stacking in water is approximately 1.5 kcal mol-1 [(21,22)].

Previous studies of the CH/p interactions have been based on the use of diverse analytical, biochemical and biophysical techniques [(23-27)]. An understanding of all the factors that control this interaction is relevant for the design of improved artificial carbohydrate receptors [(28)]. CH/p interactions together with hydrogen bond capabilities would result in new highly selective artificial receptors, with potential applications in medicine and materials science [(29-36)].

In a previous work, we showed that methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-a-D-galactopyranoside (aMeGal) was able to recognize benzene more efficiently than methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-a-D-mannopyranoside (aMeMan) [(20)]. It was found that the value of enthalpy of solvation in benzene for aMeGal was 2.5 kcal mol-1 lower than the enthalpy of solvation of aMeMan. Characterization of the molecular region where the interaction takes place was done by nOe 1H-NMR spectroscopy and it was found that C-H protons H3, H4 and H5 of galactopyranoside were in close contact with aromatic benzene ring. Indicating that benzene was forming an ordered solvation sphere around the carbohydrate.

In this work, we have evaluated the role of CH/p interactions in the molecular recognition of acetyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-b-D-galactopyranoside with 6-substituted 2-methoxypyridine and 2(1H)-pyridones.1H-NMR titrations and chemical shift perturbation experiments were performed to demonstrate the presence of CH/p interactions. Additionally, DFT calculations were performed to support the presence of CH/p interactions and to visualize the possible geometrical arrangement of the formed supramolecular complexes.

Results and Discussion

Synthesis

The acetyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-b-D-galactopyranoside 4b was synthesized by permethylation of methyl a-D-galactopyranoside 1 using 50% (w/w) sodium hydroxide solution and iodomethane in DMSO. Permethylation was done to avoid undesirable dominant hydrogen bond formation during titration experiments and to make the acetyl monosaccharide 4b less hydrophilic. The permethylated product 2 was obtained in 56% yield and subsequently hydrolyzed using an aq 2.0 N HCl solution to produce a mixture of a and b epimers of monosaccharide 3, in a 3:1 ratio. The last step was the acetylation of 3 in acetic anhydride with sodium acetate at 70 ºC. A mixture of the a and b epimers of acetyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-galactopyranoside 4a and 4b, respectively was obtained in 60 % yield, in a 1:3 disatereomeric ratio (Scheme 1). The epimers were separated using silica gel flash chromatography. Carbohydrates products were characterized through 1D and 2D NMR experiments. Full assignment of all proton signals was achieved.

Synthesis of acetyl galactopyranoside 4b, 2-methoxypyridines 9-11 and 2(1H)-pyridones 12-14.

The 6-substituted 2(1H)-pyridones were synthesized starting with a Sonogashira coupling [(37)] between 6-bromo-2-methoxypyridine 5 and the corresponding terminal alkyne (6-8), obtaining 2-methoxypyridines (9-11) in good yields. The 6-substituted 2(1H)-pyridone receptors (12-14) were obtained in modest yields by adding TMSCl and dry NaI at room temperature in dry acetonitrile (Scheme 1) [(38,39)].

Crystal structures of 2(1H)-pyridones (12-14).

The crystal structures of 2(1H)-pyridones (12-14) were obtained to confirm their molecular structure (Fig. 1).


Fig. 1
X-ray diffraction structures of 2(1H)-pyridone receptors 12-14.

Receptor 12 had a planar structure (dihedral angle N-C6-CH2-C1’ q = 2.4º); phenyl and 2(1H)-pyridone groups were practically coplanar (dihedral angle N-C6-C1’-C2’ q = -5.9º). Phenyl group was eclipsed with N-C6 bond. Receptor 13 had very similar conformation than receptor 12. Cyclohexyl and 2(1H)-pyridone groups were coplanar (dihedral angle N-C6-C1’-C2’ q = -17.0º) with cyclohexyl group in eclipsed conformation with N-C6 bond. In receptor 14, the phenyl group was oriented perpendicular with respect to the 2(1H)-pyridone group (dihedral angle N-C6-C1’-C2’ q = -90.5º). Additionally the conformation of substituents along -CH2-CH2- segment was anti (dihedral angle C1’-CH2-CH2-C1’’ q = 174.7º). The conformation of the receptor will be important for the carbohydrate recognition.

1H-NMR Chemical Shift Perturbation Data Analysis

The 1H-NMR upfield shift of specific ring protons in monosaccharides upon addition of an aromatic compound, such as benzene or toluene, has served as a direct evidence for the presence of CH/p interactions in molecular recognition [(20,40,41)]. In galactose exists a hydrophobic patch on the alpha face, where it is possible for the electronic density of p orbitals of the aromatic ring to interact through CH/p interactions [(21)]. The 2-methoxypyridne receptors 9-11, were used to demonstrate the existence of CH/p interactions in the molecular recognition of sugar 4b. The effect of the addition of 32 equivalents of 2-methoxypyridine receptors on the 1H-NMR chemical shift variation for the ring protons of acetyl galactopyranoside 4b is shown in Table 1.

Table 1

The anisotropy of benzene ring would lead to up-field shift of proton signals of the galactopyranoside 4b [( 40)]. The extent of such up-field shift would be correlated to the closeness of the π electrons with the protons of 4b. The ring proton signals H3, H4 and H5 of substrate 4b were up-field shifted upon addition of receptors 9 and 11. For both receptors proton signal H4 resulted the most up-field shifted, with values of -7.0 and -6.3 Hz for receptors 9 and 11, respectively. These values were close to those reported by Fernández-Alonso et al. [(41)], where they reported an up-field chemical shift for signal H4 of methyl b-D-galactopyranoside of -6.3 Hz when adding a 0.2 M phenol solution to a 0.01 M solution of the sugar in D2O. It is important to mention that this effect would not be a result of the inherent perturbations of the change in concentration of the solution since proton signal H2 was down-field shifted; thus implicating the existence of specificity in the solvation process.

The molecular recognition of 4b was orchestrated by CH/p interactions taking place at the hydrophobic patch of the alpha face, with protons H3, H4 and H5 and the phenyl group of receptors 9 and 11. When receptor 10 was added to substrate 4b, the up-filed shift values for protons H3, H4 and H5 were diminished, since the replacement of phenyl group with cyclohexyl group (in the molecular structure of receptor 10) would eliminate CH/p interactions. The solvation effect of these receptors towards galactopyranoside 4b would most likely take place in an ordered fashion. The 1H-NMR spectra of 4b before and after the addition of receptor 9 are depicted in Fig. 2 (for the addition of receptors 10 and 11 see Figures S1 and S2, respectively in supporting information).

A minus sign indicates up-field shift (indicated by continuous arrows) and a plus sign indicates down-field shift (indicated by dashed arrow). TMS (0.0 ppm) was used as internal standard.

Affinity Constants Determination

The 1H-NMR titration curves for 2-methoxypyridine receptors 9-11 and substrate 4b for the determination of affinity constants resulted in straight lines, meaning that association was very poor. Therefore with 1H-NMR it was not possible to determine the K a values for those receptors. For the association between substrate 4b and 2(1H)-pyridone receptors, 1H-NMR titrations were performed in order to assess the strength of the molecular association mediated by weak CH/p interactions. The galactopyranoside 4b was used as the titrant, while the concentration of 2(1H)-pyridone was kept constant during all the titration. 2(1H)-pyridones were not added to 4b because it is known that 2(1H)-pyridones have the ability to form supramolecular aggregates (such as dimers, trimmers, etc.) in solid state and in solution [(42-47)]. It was necessary for the titrations to add a large amount of equivalents of galactopyranoside (up to 70-fold excess) in order to obtain a curve that could be properly adjusted (and to reach a plateau in the curve). This methodology was followed as the one reported by Anthony Daivs et al. where initial receptor concentration was set to 0.25 M and added 1066-fold excess equivalents for sensing D-galactose [(48)]. The obtained curves (Dd vs [4b]) were adjusted to non-linear fitting for 1:1 stoichiometry complex formation with global analysis. The curve obtained for receptor 12 is shown in Figure 3, the signals shown are the ones used for the global analysis [(49)]. The good adjustment of the curves showed that there was no other association processes than the 1:1. The obtained K a values are presented in Table 2.

Table 2
Affinity constant values K a determined for the formation of galactopyranoside-2(1H)-pyridone supramolecular complexes.[(a)],[(b)],[(c)]

Although the K a values resulted low, it was possible to observe the effect of the CH/p interactions in the association. Receptors that had a phenyl group (receptors 12 and 14) had higher K a values than receptor that contained cyclohexyl group (receptor 13). This difference in K a shows the ability of receptors 12 and 14 to form CH/p interactions with the galactopyranoside substrate 4b. In a very important contribution, Jiménez-Barbero et al. have reported low affinity values K a for aromatic-carbohydrate CH/p interactions and has mentioned that weak affinity values that should be used as qualitative [(40)].

Computational Studies

We performed theoretical calculations to evaluate the recognition process and to define the structure of the molecules to be synthesized [(27)]. Calculations were done using Gaussian 09 software [(50)]. The acetyl b-D-galactopyranoside−2(1H)-pyridone supramolecular complexes were optimized at the M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) level, since the M06-2X hybrid meta-generalized exchange-correlation functional is specially designed to account for dispersive interactions [(51-54)]. The 6-31+G(d,p) basis set was used because addition of diffuse functions to double split valence basis has shown to be more important than increasing to a triplet split valence basis when calculating reaction energies and activation energies with DFT [(55)]. In order to eliminate the BSSE (basis set superposition error) during the optimization the counterpoise command was used [(56)]. These calculations were performed on a solvent free model and acetyl b-D-galactopyranoside was optimized without permethylation of hydroxyl groups [(20)].

The molecular graphic of 12-4b supramolecular complex is shown in Fig. 4. On one side of the complex, it was observed that 2(1H)-pyridone and the acetyl groups were in close proximity. In such manner, hydrogen bond interactions such as C=O---HC (2.35 Å) and NH---OC (2.24 Å) could be formed. On the other side of the complex the closest distance between C3-H bond of 4b and the phenyl group was 2.38 Å with a C3H---Ph angle of 163.6º, representing the possible CH/p interaction.


Fig. 4

Another possible CH/p interaction could be formed between C1-H bond and -C≡C- group, with a distance of 2.77 Å and an angle of 131.7º. The dihedral angle N-C6-CH2-C1’ was q = 87.3º, the receptor 12 formed a cavity where the carbohydrate 4b could place the alpha face C-H bonds pointing towards the aromatic moieties.

The molecular graphic for complex 13-4b is shown in Figure 5. The cyclohexyl group has no possibility to form CH/p interactions. Interestingly the only possible CH/p interaction that could be observed was between the C1-H and the -C≡C- spacer group, with a distance of 2.79 Å with an angle of 143.8º.

In the molecular graphic of 14-4b supramolecular complex, the carbohydrate’s alpha face was pointing towards the phenyl ring (Fig. 6). The C1’-CH2-CH2-C1’’ segment had an angle of q = 66.8º in gauche conformation. With this angle, it was possible to form a CH/p interaction between the phenyl group and the galactopyranoside C4-H bond, with a distance of 2.86 Å and C4H---Ph angle of 132.1º. The CH/p distance resulted alike to those identified for the fucose-benzene interaction calculated with the MP2 method [(41)]. The C1-H and C6-H bonds are in close proximity with the -C≡C- group of the pyridone receptor, with distances of 2.83 Å and 2.90 Å, respectively. It would be possible to have more than one type of CH/p interactions in this supramolecular complex [(57)].

The calculated interaction energies DE of the supramolecular complexes are shown in Table 3. The energy for the supramolecular complex 2(1H)-pyridone-4b is included as reference value (see Fig. S12 in supporting information). Such energy value accounts for the contribution of the hydrogen bond interactions without any CH/p interaction. Supramolecular complexes 12-4b and 14-4b were very similar in energy; they were -3.2 kcal mol-1 more stable than the reference complex 2(1H)-pyridone-4b. This value was in good agreement with the experimentally determined CH/p energy for galactose-benzene interaction [(20,26,41)]. Whereas 13-4b complex resulted only 0.6 kcal mol-1 more stable than reference complex. Computational optimizations supported the experimental results obtained by 1H-NMR titrations; CH/p weak interactions take place in the molecular recognition of acetyl galactopyranoside 4b.

The CH/p interactions were further demonstrated using software AIMALL [(58)] with the M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) theory level. In the Atoms in Molecules theory the criteria for two atoms to interact in a molecule are the presence of a bond critical point (BCP), a space where the electron density is accumulated between two nuclei (density attractors) and a bond path that connects them. In Fig. 7, it is shown the electron density topology for the 14-4b supramolecular complex, where the important CH/p and hydrogen bond BCPs are highlighted.

The value of the Laplacian (∇2r) for these BCPs is larger than zero, the electronic charge is delocalized and it belongs to a close-shell interaction. The ellipticity (ε) of the BCP is an indicative on the asymmetric charge distribution in the bond path; non-covalent interactions are characterized to have larger values of ellipticity than covalent stronger interactions (see Table S7 in supporting information). All of the above indicates that the weak interactions that were present in the supramolcular complexes were of non-covalent nature [(59)]. The values of BCPs for the CH/p for the other complexes had the same trend.

Conclusions

We have studied the participation of weak CH/p carbohydrate-aromatic interactions in the molecular recognition of acetyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-b-D-galactopyranoside 4b by 6-substituted 2(1H)-pyridone receptors. CH/p interactions were demonstrated through 1H-NMR titrations. Key upfield shifts of ring protons H3, H4 and H5 signals in the alpha face of galactopyranoside were observed due to the proximity with 2-methoxypyridine 9 and 11 receptors. No affinity constant values (K a ) could be determined for 2-methoxypyiridine receptors. In the case of 2(1H)-pyridone receptors a plateau value was reached during the 1H-NMR titration and K a values were determined. However, since the association was weak, as expected, these values had to be taken as qualitative. Receptors 12 and 14 showed better affinity to galactopyanoside than receptor 13, since a phenyl ring is present in their molecular structure, enabling CH/p interactions. X-ray diffraction data demonstrated that the conformation of 2(1H)-pyridones in solid state was planar. DFT computational studies were important to understand the association process of the receptors with the galactopyranoside 4b substrate. Conformational changes were necessary in order to form a cavity, where carbohydrate substrate could be recognized. The calculated energy difference that accounted for the CH/p stabilization energy was -3.2 kcal mol-1. This value was in accordance with the one reported for aromatic-galactose interaction. This work has represented a contribution in the field of the development of new receptors for monosaccharides.

1H-NMR chemical shift perturbation experiments

A galactopyranoside 4b stock solution (0.01 M) was prepared in CDCl3. A 2-methoxypyridine receptor solution (1.0 M) was prepared using the galactopyranoside 4b stock solution. A volume of the solution of 2-methoxypiridine (32 equivalents) was added to the galactopyranoside 4b stock solution (0.5 mL) contained in a NMR tube. The mixture was well shaken after the addition, and the 1H-NMR spectrum was recorded. Probe temperature was adjusted to 298 K.

General procedure for affinity constants determination

A 2(1H)-pyridine receptor stock solution (0.01 M) was prepared in CD3CN. Solutions (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 M) of the galactopyranoside 4b were prepared using the 2(1H)-pyridone receptor stock solution. Aliquots of the galactopyranoside solutions were added to the 2(1H)-pyridone stock solution (0.5 mL) contained in an NMR tube. The mixture inside the tube was well shaken after each addition, and the 1H-NMR spectrum was recorded. Probe temperature was adjusted to 298 K. Plots of Ddreceptor vs. [4b] were obtained. In all cases a 1:1 stoichiometry was obtained for the non-linear data fitting. Each experiment was done in triplicate.

Methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-a-D-galactopyranosoide (2). In a round bottom flask methyl a-D-galactopyranoside 1 (3.0 g, 15.5 mmol) was dissolved in DMSO (20 mL). The mixture was cooled to 0 °C in ice bath and a 50% w/w NaOH aq solution (10 mL, 250 mmol) was added slowly. After a gel suspension was formed, CH3I (27.36 g, 193.0 mmol) was added dropwise and left stirring for 6 h. The reaction was quenched with water (50 mL), and the aq phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 30 mL). The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated.
