Spiegelmeric 4R/S-hydroxy/amino-L/D-prolyl collagen peptides: conformation and morphology of self-assembled structures
Ganesh, Krishna N,More, Shahaji H

The primary structure of collagen, the major protein in connective tissue of mammals, comprises of repeating triads [(LPro-LHyp-Gly)n, P1, LHyp being 4R-hydroxy-lProline)] in a single strand that adopts left-handed polyproline II type helix. Three such single stranded helices wind around each another and held together by interchain H-bonds to form right-handed triple helix. This manuscript reports on collagen derived from its mirror image triad [(DPro-DHyp-Gly)n, P2, DHyp being 4S-hydroxy-DProline) and its 4-amino analogue (DPro-DAmp-Gly)n P4, DAmp being 4S-amino-DProline that form corresponding spiegelmeric triplexes. The amino L-collagen peptide (LPro-LAmp-Gly)n P3 and its D-analogue P4 show higher thermal stabilities compared to 4-hydroxy-lProline collagen peptides P1 and P2. The enantiomeric peptide pairs show mirror image CD profiles and identical thermal stability, with ionizable 4-amino group in P3 and P4 imparting pH dependent triplex stability. Upon cold mixing of the L- and D-collagen peptides, different morphological nanostructures arise from inter triplex peptide association. When the peptides are hot mixed (annealed), the inter peptide association occurs via interaction of single stranded peptide chains of opposite handedness leading to networked gel formation in P1 and P2, while the charged peptides P3 and P4 show more ordered nanofibers, different from the enantiomerically pure peptides. The nanocomposites of such chiral hybrid peptides may have not only interesting physicomorphology, but also biological properties that need exploration.
An improved, scalable synthesis of bis-amino acids

trans-4-Hydroxy-L-proline derived bis-amino acids are chiral, cyclic building blocks that display two alpha-amino acids that are differentiated from each other with protecting groups. They are assembled into spiroligomers—rigid, shape-programmable spirocyclic oligomers that are both stereochemically and functionally diverse. The synthesis presented here focuses on recent improvements that allow for a convenient, large-scale synthesis of twelve stereochemically pure bis-amino acids from inexpensive trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline. The bis-amino acids differ in stereochemistry as well as the amine protecting group, one of which (para-nitrobenzyl carbamate) has not been previously incorporated into bis-amino acids.
Chemoselective synthesis of N-protected alkoxyprolines under specific solvation conditions

N-Protected hydroxyprolines (Hyp) were transformed chemoselectively into alkoxyproline derivatives by direct O-alkylation. The starting Hyp was transformed into the corresponding dianion in a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide and tetrahydrofuran (1:16 v/v) as solvent. Under these conditions, the carboxy-anion showed reduced nucleophilicity because it was specifically solvated, and the more reactive oxy-anion was selectively alkylated. N-Protected trans-4-alkoxy-, cis-4-alkoxy- and trans-3-alkoxyprolines were thus obtained in a single step in very high overall yields and with complete stability of the stereogenic center configuration.

Synthesis and evaluation of lysophosphatidylserine analogues as inducers of mast cell degranulation. Potent activities of lysophosphatidylthreonine and its 2-deoxy derivative

In response to various exogenous stimuli, mast cells (MCs) release a wide variety of inflammatory mediators stored in their cytoplasmic granules and this release initiates subsequent allergic reactions. Lysophosphatidylserine (lysoPS) has been known as an exogenous inducer to potentiate histamine release from MCs, though even at submicromolar concentrations. In this study, through SAR studies on lysoPS against MC degranulation, we identified lysoPT, a threonine-containing lysophospholipid and its 2-deoxy derivative as novel strong agonists. LysoPT and its 2-deoxy derivative induced histamine release from MCs both in vitro and in vivo at a concentration less than one-tenth that of lysoPS. Notably, lysoPT did not activate a recently proposed lysoPS receptor on MCs, GPR34, demonstrating the presence of another undefined receptor reactive to both lysoPS and lysoPT that is involved in MC degranulation. Thus, the present strong agonists, lysoPT and its 2-deoxy derivative, will be useful tools to understand the mechanisms of lysoPS-induced activation of degranulation of MCs. 2009 American Chemical Society.
Prolinol-based nucleoside phosphonic acids: new isosteric conformationally flexible nucleotide analogues
Vaněk, Václav,Budě?ínsky, Milo?,Rinnová, Markéta,Rosenberg, Ivan
experimental part, p. 862 - 876 (2009/05/09)
trans-4-Hydroxy-l-proline has been used as a starting material for the synthesis of prolinol-based nucleotide analogues with an N-phosphonomethyl moiety attached to the prolinol ring nitrogen atom. The synthetic methodology based on the inversion of configuration at both 1- and 4-position led to all diastereoisomeric O-protected 4-mesyloxyprolinol-N-phosphonates. Alkylation of nucleobases using the synthons in the l-series afforded the nucleotide analogues corresponding to α-l- and β-l-nucleotide. The NMR-based conformational study of these compounds in aqueous solution performed at two different pH values, showing either N-fully protonated or deprotonated forms, revealed the occurrence of the same mostly populated conformer in both cases. All final l-prolinol-based nucleoside phosphonic acids were tested for cytotoxic and antiviral properties, but no significant activity was found.
