Sequential One-Pot Synthesis of Dipeptides through the Transient Formation of CDI-N-Protected α-Aminoesters
de Figueiredo, Renata Marcia,Suppo, Jean-Simon,Midrier, Camille,Campagne, Jean-Marc
, p. 1963 - 1968 (2017)
The synthesis of dipeptides through a sequential one-pot procedure from commercially available protected amino acids is described. The transformation relies on the use of in situ generated transiently CDI-protected α-amino esters (CDI, e.g. N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole). In addition of being a highly atom-economical process, the couplings take place under very mild and neutral conditions without adding a base to the reaction medium. This protocol provides a concise and less costly route to dipeptide derivatives (12 examples, up to 87% yield) and is compatible with commonly used N-urethane protecting groups. Moreover, no epimerization was detected even when sensitive Boc-Cys(Bn)?OH was used. (Figure presented.).
Controlling Syneresis of Hydrogels Using Organic Salts

Supramolecular hydrogels can spontaneously undergo syneresis through fibre–fibre interactions and expel significant amounts of water upon aging. In this process, the hydrophobicity of fibres which regulates the 3D-rearrangement of the self-assembled struc

The deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) UCHL1 is implicated in various disease states including neurodegenerative disease and cancer. However, there is a lack of quality probe molecules to gain a better understanding on UCHL1 biology. To this end a study was carried out to fully characterize and optimize the irreversible covalent UCHL1 inhibitor VAEFMK. Structure-activity relationship studies identified modifications to improve activity versus the target and a full cellular characterization was carried out for the first time with this scaffold. The studies produced a new inhibitor, 34, with an IC50 value of 7.7 μM against UCHL1 and no observable activity versus the closest related DUB UCHL3. The molecule was also capable of selectively inhibiting UCHL1 in cells and did not demonstrate any discernible off-target toxicity. Finally, the molecule was used for initial probe studies to assess the role of UCHL1 role in proliferation of myeloma cells and migration behavior in small cell lung cancer cells making 34 a new tool to be used in the biological evaluation of UCHL1.

Although chiral nanostructures have been fabricated at various structural levels, the transfer and amplification of chirality from molecules to supramolecular self-assemblies are still puzzling, especially for heterochiral molecules. Herein, four series o

The dynamic behavior of helical polymers bearing pendant groups with two chiral centers was studied. Controlled conformational changes at the chiral units placed either closer to or further away from the main chain promote different helical structures. Al

Abstract: A simple, straightforward, for the peptide bond formation employing corresponding carboxylic acids and amines derived from amino acids via Nα-protected diacyldiselenide is delineated. The key step of the synthesis is the in situ gener
Substrate-directed lewis-acid catalysis for peptide synthesis

A Lewis-acid-catalyzed method for the substrate-directed formation of peptide bonds has been developed, and this powerful approach is utilized for the new "remote" activation of carboxyl groups under solvent-free conditions. The presented method has the following advantages: (1) the high-yielding peptide synthesis uses a tantalum catalyst for any amino acids; (2) the reaction proceeds without any racemization; (3) the new substrate-directed chemical ligation using the titanium catalyst is applicable to convergent peptide synthesis. These advantages overcome some of the unresolved problems in classical peptide synthesis.
