- Anthranilimide-based glycogen phosphorylase inhibitors for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes: 2. Optimization of serine and threonine ether amino acid residues
-
Optimization of the amino acid residue of a series of anthranilimide-based glycogen phosphorylase inhibitors is described leading to the identification of serine and threonine ether analogs. t-Butylthreonine analog 20 displayed potent in vitro inhibition of GPa, low potential for P450 inhibition, and excellent pharmacokinetic properties.

- Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of optically active amino acids and peptides
-
The industrial alkaline protease, alcalase, is stable and active in a high concentration of organic solvents and useful as a biocatalyst for (i) diastereoselective hydrolysis of peptide esters and preparation of racemization-free peptides; (ii) selective incorporation of esters of D-amino acid into peptides in t-butanol via a selective hydrolysis of esters of D,L-amino acid, followed by using the unhydrolyzed D-esters as a nucleophile in a kinetically controlled peptide bond formation; (iii) resolution of esters of amino acid in 95% t-butanol/5% water, followed by saponification of the unreacted esters to offer both enantiomers with high yield and optical purity; (iv) completely resolve amino-acid esters with high yield and optical purity via in situ racemization of the unreacted antipode catalyzed by pyridoxal 5-phosphate; (v) cryobioorganic synthesis of peptides with increased yields 15%-40% of peptide bond formation by reaction at 5 °C instead of 25-30 °C of a kinetically controlled enzymatic reaction in alcohols.
