- synthesis of both enantiomers of chiral phenylalanine derivatives catalyzed by cinchona alkaloid quaternary ammonium salts as asymmetric phase transfer catalysts
-
A practical synthesis of both enantiomers of unnatural phenylalanine derivatives by using two pseudoenantiomeric phase transfer catalysts is described. Through asymmetric α-alkylation of glycine Schiff base with substituted benzyl bromides and 1-(bromomet

- Anthranilic acid based CCK1 receptor antagonists: Preliminary investigation on their second "touch point"
-
In this phase of structure-affinity relationship study of VL-0395, a new anthranilic acid based CCK1 selective antagonist, we propose a series of unnatural aminoacidic derivatives. The result of this work is the identification of a new CCK ligand, which possesses an affinity (IC50 = 35 nm) one order of magnitude greater than the lead and, as a general rule, it points out how the hypothesized receptorial pocket which accommodates the Phe residue allows much more structural modification than that interacting with the N-terminal group. Hence, the modification of the C-terminal pharmacophoric group of our lead VL-0395 can not only enhance the affinity of anthranilic acid derivatives but can modulate the selectivity for one CCK receptor subtype or afford mixed antagonists.
