- Investigations of metal-coordinated peptides as supramolecular synthons
-
This article describes the synthesis and controlled assembly of four model biological-hybrid scaffolds via coordination of a metal complex to four new tripeptides. Each model tripeptide investigated has either a central pyridyl glycyl or a pyridyl alanyl

- Synthesis and conformational studies of peptidomimetics containing a carbocyclic 1,3-diacid
-
A rigid carbocyclic scaffold comprising of an all-cis 4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid is developed. Attachment of peptide strands to the carboxylic groups of this novel template led to the peptidomimetics 2 and 3. Conformational analysis by circular dichroism and NMR studies revealed that these molecules adopt a unique folded structure in nonpolar solvent involving intramolecular hydrogen bonding between PheNH of one strand and LeuC=O (in 2) or GlyC=O (in 3) of the other strand. This structure is very different from the structures observed earlier in their sugar counterparts (1). The paper describes in detail the synthesis and structural studies of compounds 2 and 3.

As traditional small-molecule drug discovery programs focus on a relatively narrow range of chemical space, most human proteins are viewed as unreachable targets. Consequently, there is a strong interest in expanding the chemical space in drug discovery b

- A general method for the facile synthesis of optically active 2-substituted piperazines via functionalized 2,5-diketopiperazines
-
Upon utilization of some common methods described in the literature for the synthesis of chiral, 2-substituted 2,5-diketopiperazines, extensive racemization was observed. Further investigation showed that heating in the presence of a mild base racemized the chiral center in the product diketopiperazines. A generalized, readily scalable route was sought and, after investigating the effect of base and temperature, conditions were identified that promoted cyclization without erosion of enantiomeric excess. An array of functionalization was tolerated and this procedure serves as a useful and reliable method for the facile synthesis of this important class of compounds.
