Paragraph 0059; 0060; 0061, (2017/08/30)
The present invention relates to a (S)-2-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydromethylpyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid synthesis method. According to the method, L-glutamine is used as a raw material, the alpha-amino of the L-glutamine is protected with a protection group, a decarbonylating agent is added, a Hofmann degradation reaction is performed to remove the carbonyl group attached to the remaining amino, the protection group is removed to obtain L-2,4-diaminobutyric acid, and finally the prepared L-2,4-diaminobutyric acid and trimethyl orthoacetate are subjected to a ring forming reaction to obtain the (S)-2-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydromethylpyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid. Compared to the method in the prior art, the method of the present invention has the following characteristics that the chemical synthesis route is provided, the steps of the synthesis process are simple, the raw materials are easy to obtain, the product purity is high, and the method is suitable for large-scale industrial production.

Tryptophan indole lyase (TIL), an enzyme found in Escherichia coli and related enterobacteria, produces indole from l-tryptophan (l-Trp). Indole is a signaling molecule in bacteria, affecting biofilm formation, pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance. β-(Benzimidazol-1-yl)-l-alanine (BZI-Ala), 2-amino-4-(benzimidazol-1-yl)butyric acid (homo-BZI-Ala) and 2-amino-5-(benzimidazol-1-yl)pentanoic acid (bishomo-BZI-Ala) were synthesized and tested as substrates and inhibitors of TIL. BZI-Ala is a good substrate of TIL, with Km = 300 μm, kcat = 5.6 s-1 and kcat/Km = 1.9 × 104, similar to l-Trp. BZI-Ala is also a good substrate for H463F mutant TIL, which has very low activity with l-Trp. In contrast, homo-BZI-Ala was found to be a potent competitive inhibitor of TIL, with a Ki of 13.4 μm. However, the higher homolog, bishomo-BZI-Ala, was inactive as an inhibitor of TIL at a concentration of 600 μm, and is thus a much weaker inhibitor. The reaction of TIL with BZI-Ala was too fast to be observed in the stopped-flow spectrophotometer, and shows an aldimine intermediate in the steady state. However, H463F TIL shows equilibrating mixtures of aldimine and quinonoid complexes in the steady state. The spectra of the reaction of TIL with homo-BZI-Ala show a rapidly formed intermediate absorbing at 340 nm, probably a gem-diamine, that decays slowly to form a quinonoid complex absorbing at 494 nm. The potent binding of homo-BZI-Ala may be due to it being a 'bi-product' analog of the indole-α-aminoacrylate complex. These results demonstrate that an amino acid substrate may be converted to a potent inhibitor of TIL simply by homologation, which may be useful in the design of other potent TIL inhibitors. β-(Benzimidazol-1-yl)-l-alanine (BZI-Ala), 2-amino-4-(benzimidazol-1-yl) butyric acid (homo-BZI-Ala), and 2-amino-5-(benzimidazol-1-yl)pentanoic acid (bishomo-BZI-Ala) were synthesized and tested as substrates and inhibitors of tryptophan indole-lyase (TIL), an enzyme found in Escherichia coli and related enterobacteria. BZI-Ala is a good substrate of TIL, homo-BZI-Ala is a potent competitive inhibitor of TIL, with Ki of 13.4 μM, but bishomo-BZI-Ala, was inactive as an inhibitor of TIL. 2013 The Authors Journal compilation
An Improved Preparation of N2-tert-Butoxycarbonyl- and N 2-Benzyloxycarbonyl-(S)-2,4-diaminobutanoic Acids

Utilizing N-benzyloxycarbonyl- (1a) and N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-(S) -glutamine (1b), a highly efficient and practical method for the synthesis of N2-benzyloxycarbonyl- and N 2-tert-butoxycarbonyl-(S)-2,4-diamino-butanoic acids (2a and 2b) has been developed. Reaction of (S)-glutamine derivatives with iodosobenzene diacetate in a mixture of THF-water at 4°C afforded selectively protected (S)-2,4-diaminobutanoic acids in good yields.
