The present disclosure relates to compounds capable of inhibiting vascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase (VE-PTP). These compounds are also capable of activating Tie2 receptor-mediated signaling. The present disclosure also relates to pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and to the use of such compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and/or pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same in treating diseases and/or conditions mediated by VE-PTP signaling, such as those mediated by Angiopoietm/Tie2 signaling.
Phenylalanine ammonia lyase catalyzed synthesis of amino acids by an MIO-cofactor independent pathway

Phenylalanine ammonia lyases (PALs) belong to a family of 4-methylideneimidazole-5-one (MIO) cofactor dependent enzymes which are responsible for the conversion of L-phenylalanine into trans-cinnamic acid in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Under conditions of high ammonia concentration, this deamination reaction is reversible and hence there is considerable interest in the development of PALs as biocatalysts for the enantioselective synthesis of non-natural amino acids. Herein the discovery of a previously unobserved competing MIO-independent reaction pathway, which proceeds in a non-stereoselective manner and results in the generation of both L- and D-phenylalanine derivatives, is described. The mechanism of the MIO-independent pathway is explored through isotopic-labeling studies and mutagenesis of key active-site residues. The results obtained are consistent with amino acid deamination occurring by a stepwise E1cB elimination mechanism. All manner of things: A competing MIO-independent (MIO=4-methylideneimidazole-5-one) reaction pathway has been identified for phenylalanine ammonia lyases (PALs), which proceeds in a non-stereoselective manner, resulting in the generation of D-phenylalanine derivatives. The mechanism of D-amino acid formation is explored through isotopic-labeling studies and mutagenesis of key active-site residues.

Enantiomerically pure 2-, 3- or 4-pyridylalanine (pya) and 2-azatyrosine (azatyr) are known to present various biological activities. After incorporation into appropriate peptide sequences, these heterocyclic non natural α-amino acids could behave as new substrates or inhibitors of elastase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This enzyme is known to be involved in nosocomial infections and infections related to the cystic fibrosis disease. New efficient chemoenzymatic preparations of those compounds using α-chymotrypsin (α-CT) are presented. Springer-Verlag 2011.
