- Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacokinetic Evaluation of Phosphate and Amino Acid Ester Prodrugs for Improving the Oral Bioavailability of the HIV-1 Protease Inhibitor Atazanavir
-
Phosphate and amino acid prodrugs of the HIV-1 protease inhibitor (PI) atazanavir (1) were prepared and evaluated to address solubility and absorption limitations. While the phosphate prodrug failed to release 1 in rats, the introduction of a methylene spacer facilitated prodrug activation, but parent exposure was lower than that following direct administration of 1. Val amino acid and Val-Val dipeptides imparted low plasma exposure of the parent, although the exposure of the prodrugs was high, reflecting good absorption. Screening of additional amino acids resulted in the identification of an l-Phe ester that offered an improved exposure of 1 and reduced levels of the circulating prodrug. Further molecular editing focusing on the linker design culminated in the discovery of the self-immolative l-Phe-Sar dipeptide derivative 74 that gave four-fold improved AUC and eight-fold higher Ctrough values of 1 compared with oral administration of the drug itself, demonstrating a successful prodrug approach to the oral delivery of 1.

- Enantioselective Deaminative Alkylation of Amino Acid Derivatives with Unactivated Olefins
-
Herein, we report the first Ni-catalyzed enantioselective deaminative alkylation of amino acid and peptide derivatives with unactivated olefins. Key for success was the discovery of a new sterically encumbered bis(oxazoline) ligand backbone, thus offering a de novo technology for accessing enantioenriched sp3-sp3 linkages via sp3 C-N functionalization. Our protocol is distinguished by its broad scope and generality across a wide number of counterparts, even in the context of late-stage functionalization. In addition, an enantioselective deaminative remote hydroalkylation reaction of unactivated internal olefins is within reach, thus providing a useful entry point for forging enantioenriched sp3-sp3 centers at remote sp3 C-H sites.

- Structure-Activity Relationships of cyclo(l -Tyrosyl- l -tyrosine) Derivatives Binding to Mycobacterium tuberculosis CYP121: Iodinated Analogues Promote Shift to High-Spin Adduct
-
A series of analogues of cyclo(l-tyrosyl-l-tyrosine), the substrate of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enzyme CYP121, have been synthesized and analyzed by UV-vis and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and by X-ray crystallography. The introduction of iodine substituents onto cyclo(l-tyrosyl-l-tyrosine) results in sub-μM binding affinity for the CYP121 enzyme and a complete shift to the high-spin state of the heme FeIII. The introduction of halogens that are able to interact with heme groups is thus a feasible approach to the development of next-generation, tight binding inhibitors of the CYP121 enzyme, in the search for novel antitubercular compounds.

- ANTIBACTERIALS AND/OR MODULATORS OF BIOFILM FORMATION AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
-
Amides substituted with aromatic groups were synthesized and some were purified to create enantiomer pure compounds. The compounds were tested to determine their ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria and the formation of biofilms created by bacteria. Some of these compounds were found to be effective antibacterials and to effectively inhibit the formation of biofilms.

- Dual Catalytic Decarboxylative Allylations of α-Amino Acids and Their Divergent Mechanisms
-
The room temperature radical decarboxylative allylation of N-protected α-amino acids and esters has been accomplished via a combination of palladium and photoredox catalysis to provide homoallylic amines. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the stability of the α-amino radical, which is formed by decarboxylation, dictates the predominant reaction pathway between competing mechanisms.

- Self-assembly of a tripeptide into a functional coating that resists fouling
-
This communication describes the self-assembly of a tripeptide into a functional coating that resists biofouling. Using this peptide-based coating we were able to prevent protein adsorption and interrupt biofilm formation. This coating can be applied on numerous substrates and therefore can serve in applications related to health care, marine and water treatment.

- Cholecystokinin B antagonists. Synthesis and quantitative structure-activity relationships of a series of C-terminal analogues of CI-988
-
A study of structure-activity relationships of a series of 'dipeptoid' CCK-B receptor antagonists was performed in which variations of the phenyl ring were examined while the [(2-adamantyloxy)carbonyl]-α-methyl-R)-tryptophan moiety of the potent antagonist CI-988 was kept constant. Since the main focus of this study was phenyl substituent variation, series design techniques were employed to insure an adequate spread of physicochemical properties (lipophilic, steric, electronic), as well as positional substitution. A QSAR analysis on sets of 26 and 16 analogues revealed that CCK-B affinity was related to a combination of the overall size and, marginally, lipophilicity of the phenyl ring substituents (i.e., smaller groups were associated with increased potency with an optimum π near zero, respectively). Further exploration revealed that the dimensions and electronics of the para-phenyl substituent could be related to CCK-B affinity. Increased affinity was seen with short, bulky (branched) electron withdrawing groups. Analogs with small para-substituents appeared to be about 1000-fold CCK-B selective, indicating that selectivity for CCK-B binding is sensitive to phenyl ring substitution. The 4-F-phenyl dipeptoid, derived from this study, has extraordinary high affinity at the CCK-B receptor (IC50 = 0.08 nM) and was also very selective (940-fold CCK-B selective). Consistent with previous reports, (S)-configuration at the substituted phenethylamide center, a carboxylic acid and the presence of a phenyl ring were found to be associated with increased affinity at both CCK-A and CCK-B receptors.

- Studies of Neurokinin Antagonists. 4. Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships of Novel Dipeptide Substance P Antagonists: N2--L-prolyl>-N-methyl-N-(phenylmethyl)-3-(2-naphthyl)-L-alaninamide and Its Related Compounds
-
As an extension of our studies on discovering a novel substance P (SP) antagonist, we modified the previously reported dipeptide, N2-2-(1H-indol-3-ylcarbonyl)-L-lysyl>-N-methyl-N-(phenylmethyl)-L-phenylalaninamide (2b).The lysine part in 2b was first optimized to a (2S,4R)-hydroxyproline derivative (3h), which is 2-fold more potent than 2b in SP binding assay using guinea pig lung membranes.Next we modified the 1H-indol-3-ylcarbonyl part in 3h.Introduction of a methyl group at the indole nitrogen enhanced the oral activity, while retaining the binding activity.Finally, we modified the phenylalanine part to culminate in the most potent compound 7k (FK888), which is a potent SP antagonist with NK1 selectivity as well as oral activity.
