Stereoselective inhibition of the nucleation and crystal growth of one enantiomer aided by “tailor-made” polymeric additives is an efficient method to obtain enantiopure compounds. However, the conventional preparation of polymeric additives from chiral monomers are laborious and limited in structures, which impedes their rapid optimization and applicability. Herein, we report a “plug-and-play” strategy to facilitate synthesis by using commercially available achiral polymers as the platform to attach various chiral small molecules as the recognition side-chains through non-covalent interactions. A library of supramolecular polymers made up of two vinyl polymers and six small molecules were applied with seeds in the selective crystallization of seven racemates in different solvents. They showed good to excellent stereoselectivity in yielding crystals with high enantiomeric purities in conglomerates and racemic compound forming systems. This convenient, low-cost modular synthesis strategy of polymeric additives will allow for high-efficient, economical resolution of various racemates on different scales.

Eukaryotic serine racemase (SR) is a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate enzyme belonging to the Fold-type II group, which catalyzes serine racemization and is responsible for the synthesis of D-Ser, a co-agonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor. In addition to racemization, SR catalyzes the dehydration of D- and L-Ser to pyruvate and ammonia. The bifuctionality of SR is thought to be important for D-Ser homeostasis. SR catalyzes the racemization of D- and L-Ser with almost the same efficiency. In contrast, the rate of L-Ser dehydration catalyzed by SR is much higher than that of D-Ser dehydration. This has caused the argument that SR does not catalyze the direct D-Ser dehydration and that D-Ser is first converted to L-Ser, then dehydrated. In this study, we investigated the substrate and solvent isotope effect of dehydration of D- and L-Ser catalyzed by SR from Dictyostelium discoideum (DdSR) and demonstrated that the enzyme catalyzes direct D-Ser dehydration. Kinetic studies of dehydration of four Thr isomers catalyzed by D. discoideum and mouse SRs suggest that SR discriminates the substrate configuration at C3 but not at C2. This is probably the reason for the difference in efficiency between L- and D-Ser dehydration catalyzed by SR.

There are several examples of marine organisms whose metabolic profiles differ among conspecifics inhabiting the same region. We have analyzed the metabolic profile of each colony of a Theonella swinhoei marine sponge with a yellow interior and noticed the patchy distribution of one metabolite. This compound was isolated and its structure was studied by a combination of spectrometric analyses and chemical degradation, showing it to be a congener in the theonellamide class of bicyclic peptides. Theonellamides had previously been isolated by us only from T. swinhoei with a white interior and not from those with a yellow interior.

Two new HIV-inhibitory depsipeptides, stellettapeptins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from an extract of the marine sponge Stelletta sp., collected from northwestern Australia. Structures of these cyclic nonribosomal peptides were elucidated on the basis of extensive NMR data analysis, and chemical degradation and derivatization studies. Stellettapeptins contain numerous nonproteinogenic amino acid residues and they are the first peptides reported to contain a 3-hydroxy-6,8-dimethylnon-4-(Z)-enoic acid moiety. Compounds 1 and 2 potently inhibit infection of human T-lymphoblastoid cells by HIV-1RF with EC50 values of 23 and 27 nM, respectively.
Trading N and O. Part 2: Exploiting aziridinium intermediates for the synthesis of β-hydroxy-α-amino acids

, p. 5849 - 5862 (2015/03/30)
The β-hydroxy-α-amino acids (S,S)-allo-threonine, (S,S)-β-hydroxyleucine and a range of aryl substituted (S,S)-β-hydroxyphenylalanines were prepared from the corresponding enantiopure anti-α-hydroxy-β-amino esters via a rearrangement protocol, which proceeds via the intermediacy of the corresponding aziridinium ions. The starting anti-α-hydroxy-β-amino esters were prepared in >99:1 dr using our diastereoselective aminohydroxylation procedure, whereby conjugate addition of lithium (R)-N-benzyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide to an α,β-unsaturated ester is followed by oxidation of the resultant enolate with (-)-camphorsulfonyloxaziridine. Subsequent activation of the hydroxyl group within the anti-α-hydroxy-β-amino esters promoted aziridinium ion formation [which proceeds with inversion of configuration at C(2)], and regioselective ring-opening of the intermediate aziridinium ions with H2O [which proceeds with inversion of configuration at C(3)] gave the corresponding anti-β-hydroxy-α-amino esters as single diastereoisomers (>99:1 dr). Deprotection of these substrates via sequential hydrogenolysis and ester hydrolysis gave the corresponding β-hydroxy-α-amino acids in good yield and high diastereoisomeric and enantiomeric purity.

During our search for new natural products from the marine environment, we discovered a wide range of cyclic peptides from a marine Photobacterium, closely related to P. halotolerans. The chemical fingerprint of the bacterium showed primarily non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)-like compounds, including the known pyrrothine antibiotic holomycin and a wide range of peptides, from diketopiperazines to cyclodepsipeptides of 500-900 Da. Purification of components from the pellet fraction led to the isolation and structure elucidation of four new cyclodepsipeptides, ngercheumicin F, G, H, and I. The ngercheumicins interfered with expression of virulence genes known to be controlled by the agr quorum sensing system of Staphylococcus aureus, although to a lesser extent than the previously described solonamides from the same strain of Photobacterium.
