Catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydroamino acid esters with biscarbamate protection was examined for the first time to prepare optically active amino acids. The new method was successfully applied to the synthesis of new cystine–glutamate exchanger inhibitors.

Separation of racemic mixtures is of great importance and interest in chemistry and pharmacology. Porous materials including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely explored as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in chiral resolution. However, it remains a challenge to develop new CSPs for reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), which is the most popular chromatographic mode and accounts for over 90% of all separations. Here we demonstrated for the first time that highly stable Zr-based MOFs can be efficient CSPs for RP-HPLC. By elaborately designing and synthesizing three tetracarboxylate ligands of enantiopure 1,1′-biphenyl-20-crown-6, we prepared three chiral porous Zr(IV)-MOFs with the framework formula [Zr6O4(OH)8(H2O)4(L)2]. They share the same flu topological structure but channels of different sizes and display excellent tolerance to water, acid, and base. Chiral crown ether moieties are periodically aligned within the framework channels, allowing for stereoselective recognition of guest molecules via supramolecular interactions. Under acidic aqueous eluent conditions, the Zr-MOF-packed HPLC columns provide high resolution, selectivity, and durability for the separation of a variety of model racemates, including unprotected and protected amino acids and N-containing drugs, which are comparable to or even superior to several commercial chiral columns for HPLC separation. DFT calculations suggest that the Zr-MOF provides a confined microenvironment for chiral crown ethers that dictates the separation selectivity.

Four unusual cyclopeptides, zelkovamycins B-E (1-4), were isolated from an endophytic Kitasatospora sp. Zelkovamycin B was featured by an unprecedented 3-methyl-5-hydroxypyrrolidine-2,4-dione ring system linked to the cyclopeptide skeleton. Their structures and full configurations were established by spectroscopic analysis, Marfey's method, and NMR calculations. A plausible biosynthetic pathway for zelkovamycins was proposed based on gene cluster analysis. Zelkovamycin E displayed potent inhibitory activity against H1N1 influenza A virus.

Enzymatic transamination is a useful method for the green and highly enantioselective synthesis of chiral amines and non-canonical amino acids which are of major importance as intermediates in medicinal chemistry. However, transamination reactions are usually reversible and synthetic applications of transaminases often require the implementation of an equilibrium shift strategy. Herein, we report a highly effective approach using glutamine as smart amine donor. This amino acid is converted upon transamination into 2-oxoglutaramate which undergoes a fast cyclisation displacing the transamination equilibrium. We have developed a new activity assay in order to identify transaminases from biodiversity able to convert various α-keto acids into valuable amino acids of l- or d-series in the presence of glutamine as amine donor. Discovered transaminases were then used to prepare in high yield and with high enantioselectivity three amino acids of pharmaceutical importance, homophenylalanine, homoalanine and tert-leucine by simply using a nearly stoichiometric amount of glutamine as amine donor.
