Due to the hazardous nature of CH2Cl2, regulatory authorities have imposed restrictions to minimize or even stop its use. It has therefore become imperative to identify environmentally benign solvents to replace it. Here we report on a bio derived solvent, γ-valerolactone, for the incorporation of the first amino acid onto p-alkoxybenzyl alcohol resin in solid-phase peptide synthesis. Satisfactory loading values (by a spectrophotometric method) were achieved. Furthermore, racemization and dipeptide formation were also checked and found to be acceptable.

A new S9 family aminopeptidase derived from the actinobacterial thermophile Acidothermus cellulolyticus was cloned and engineered into a transaminopeptidase by site-directed mutagenesis of catalytic Ser491 into Cys. The engineered biocatalyst, designated aminolysin-A, can catalyze the formation of peptide bonds to give linear homo-oligopeptides, hetero-dipeptides, and cyclic dipeptides using cost-effective substrates in a one-pot reaction. Aminolysin-A can recognize several C-terminal-modified amino acids, including the l- and d-forms, as acyl donors as well as free amines, including amino acids and puromycin aminonucleoside, as acyl acceptors. The absence of amino acid esters prevents the formation of peptides; therefore, the reaction mechanism involves aminolysis and not a reverse reaction of hydrolysis. The aminolysin system will be a beneficial tool for the preparation of structurally diverse peptide mimetics by a simple approach.

The synthesis of N--1-oxo-2(R)-benzylpropyl>-L-isoleucyl-L-leucine (JMV-390-1, 6a), a multipeptidase inhibitor based on the C-terminal sequence common to neurotensin (NT) and neuromedin N (NN), is described.This compound behaves as a full inhibitor of the major NT/NN degrading enzymes in vitro, e.g. endopeptidase 24.16, endopeptidase 24.15, endopeptidase 24.11, and leucine aminopeptidase (type IV-S), in the nanomolar range (IC50's from 30 to 60 nM).Compound 6a was found to increase endogenous recovery of NT and NN from slices of micehypothalamus depolarized with potassium.In various assays commonly used to select analgesics, e.g. hot-plate test, tail-flick test, acetic acid-induced writhing test, in mice, compound 6a proved to be potent when intracerebroventricularly (icv) injected.The analgesic effects observed were totally (hot-plate test) or largely (tail-flick test) reversed by the opioid antagonist naltrexone.Furthermore, icv injection of compound 6a (10 μg/mouse) was found to significantly potentiate the hypothermic effects of NT or NN.

A new asymmetric transformation of amino acids was described.Thus, when N-salicylidene-D-alanyl-, D-phenylalanyl-, or D-phenyl-glycyl-L-isoleucinatocopper(II) was incubated at pH 8.5 and 80 deg C, the resulting mixture at equilibrium contained a complex of L-L-dipeptide in the contents of 63-76percent.The epimerization of dipeptides is based on the enhanced activity of N-terminal amino acids through complex formation.
Peptides 119. - Peptide Synthesis with N-Carboxy-α-amino Acid Anhydrides

, p. 275 - 284 (2007/10/02)
On reaction of N-carboxy-α-amino acid anhydrides (NCA) with equimolar amounts of aminoacids or excess NCA in potassium borate buffer of pH 10.2 (0 deg C) considerable amounts of homooligomers and homopolymers are formed.If an excess of amino acid is used formation of the above mentioned by-products can be suppressed.The extent of homooligomerization and homopolymerization and hydrolysis occurring during the reaction of NCA under the conditions of peptide synthesis is described.
