Chiral peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a derivative of regular PNA by introducing a chiral center to its backbone, and is known to bind more strongly to DNA or RNA than regular PNA. In particular, in the case of a γ-backbone, the L isomer stabilizes the PNA/DNA duplex, and the D-isomer has the opposite effect. Therefore, the synthesis of an optically pure γ-backbone is very important. Here, we report a novel synthetic strategy for the suppression of epimerization during the synthesis of the γ-PNA backbone. A stabilized form of 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (SIBX) was used as an oxidative reagent in the key intermediate of the N-Boc-amino acetaldehyde synthesis. This paper reports (1) the synthesis and comparison of three different γ-PNA backbones (lysine, alanine, and glutamate) by three different synthetic routes (SIBX, lithium aluminum hydride, and Red-Al) and (2) the determination of chiral purity from their derivative compounds. The enantiomeric excess purity of SIBX-mediated γ-PNA backbones was determined to be more than 99.4%, as ascertained by the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) chromatogram on a standard RP-C18 column. It is comparatively higher than that of the other methods examined in this work.

We report the synthesis of two novel cisplatin-N-mustard conjugates. In these compounds two potentially DNA-damaging molecules are combined and are separated by a spacer containing either one or four ethylene glycol units. We have shown that these conjuga

Minimalist secondary structure mimics are typically made to resemble one interface in a protein-protein interaction (PPI), and thus perturb it. We recently proposed suitable chemotypes can be matched with interface regions directly, without regard for secondary structures. Here we describe a modular synthesis of a new chemotype 1, simulation of its solution-state conformational ensemble, and correlation of that with ideal secondary structures and real interface regions in PPIs. Scaffold 1 presents amino acid side-chains that are quite separated from each other, in orientations that closely resemble ideal sheet or helical structures, similar non-ideal structures at PPI interfaces, and regions of other PPI interfaces where the mimic conformation does not resemble any secondary structure. 68 different PPIs where conformations of 1 matched well were identified. A new method is also presented to determine the relevance of a minimalist mimic crystal structure to its solution conformations. Thus dld-1-faf crystallized in a conformation that is estimated to be 0.91 kcal-mol-1 above the minimum energy solution state. Do we know, when designing a new peptidomimetic scaffold like the one shown, how it can resemble secondary structures? Design and modular synthesis of this elongated mimic is reported, and the structure is related to ideal and real structures at PPI interfaces.
