De novo drug discovery is still a challenge in the search for potent and selective modulators of therapeutically relevant target proteins. Here, we disclose the unexpected discovery of a peptidic ligand 1 by X-ray crystallography, which was auto-tailored by the therapeutic target MMP-13 through partial self-degradation and subsequent structure-based optimization to a highly potent and selective β-sheet peptidomimetic inhibitor derived from the endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). The incorporation of non-proteinogenic amino acids in combination with a cyclization strategy proved to be key for the de novo design of TIMP peptidomimetics. The optimized cyclic peptide 4 (ZHAWOC7726) is membrane permeable with an IC50 of 21 nm for MMP-13 and an attractive selectivity profile with respect to a polypharmacology approach including the anticancer targets MMP-2 (IC50: 170 nm) and MMP-9 (IC50: 140 nm).

A new type of novel chiral pyridoxamines 3a-g containing a side chain has been developed. The pyridoxamines displayed catalytic activity and promising enantioselectivity in biomimetic asymmetric transamination of α-keto acids, to give various α-amino acids in 47-90% yields with up to 87% ee's under very mild conditions. An interesting effect of the side chain on enantioselectivity was observed in the reaction.

Paragraph 0512; 0513, (2016/11/17)
Objects of the present invention are to provide an industrially applicable method for producing an optically active ±-amino acid in high yield and in a highly enantioselective manner, to provide a simple production method of an optically active ±,±-disubstituted ±-amino acid, and to provide an intermediate useful for the above production methods of an optically active ±-amino acid and an optically active ±,±-disubstituted ±-amino acid. The present invention provides a production method of an optically active ±-amino acid or a salt thereof, the production method comprising introducing a substituent into the ± carbon in the ±-amino acid moiety of a metal complex represented by the following Formula (1): by an alkylation reaction, an aldol reaction, the Michael reaction, or the Mannich reaction, and releasing an optically pure ±-amino acid enantiomer or a salt thereof by acid decomposition of the metal complex.
