Tak-242 (resatorvid), a Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibitor, has been identified as a potent suppressor of innate inflammation. As a strategy to target Tak-242 to select tissue, four TLR4-inactive prodrugs were synthesized for activation via two different release mechanisms. Two nitrobenzyl Tak-242 prodrugs released the parent drug upon exposure to the exogenous enzyme nitroreductase, while the two propargyl prodrugs were converted to Tak-242 in the presence of Pd0.

The thioester surrogate 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid (Dbz) facilitates the efficient synthesis of peptide thioesters by Fmoc chemistry solid phase peptide synthesis and the optional attachment of a solubility tag at the C-terminus. The protection of the partially deactivated ortho-amine of Dbz is necessary to obtain contamination-free peptide synthesis. The reported carbamate protecting groups promote a serious side reaction, benzimidazolinone formation. Herein we introduce the Boc-protected Dbz that prevents the benzimidazolinone formation, leading to clean peptide o-aminoanilides suitable for the total chemical synthesis of proteins.

Iridium complexes were prepared which are covalently linked via a bipyridine ligand to a chiral octahydro-1H-4,7-methanoisoindol-1-one skeleton. The skeleton allows for two-point hydrogen bonding to prochiral lactams, which can be processed in iridium-catalyzed photochemical reactions. Attempts to use the iridium complexes in reactions, which typically involve photoinduced electron transfer, failed to provide the desired enantioselectivity. If employed as triplet sensitizers the complexes showed an improved performance and moderate enantioselectivities (up to 29% ee) were achieved in a photochemical epoxide rearrangement.

A novel turn-on fluorescent probe for the detection of palladium has been designed. The probe can selectively and sensitively detect palladium in solution, and the limit of detection was calculated to be 11.4 nmol·L?1. Furthermore, the probe was successfully used for fluorescence imaging of palladium in living cells.

Three alkyne-containing pyrrolysine derivatives were synthesized and genetically encoded into proteins by a mutant PylRS-tRNA pair with high efficiencies. With these alkyne handles, site-specific dual labeling of proteins can be achieved via a bioorthogonal thiol-yne ligation reaction.

Sirtuins are NAD+ dependent deacetylases that modulate various essential cellular functions. Development of peptide based inhibitors of Sir2s would prove useful both as pharmaceutical agents and as effectors by which downstream cellular alterations can be monitored. Click chemistry that utilizes Huisgen's 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition permits attachment of novel modifications onto the side chain of lysine. Herein, we report the synthesis of peptide analogues prepared using click reactions on Nε-propargyloxycarbonyl protected lysine residues and their characterization as inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum Sir2 activity. The peptide based inhibitors exhibited parabolic competitive inhibition with respect to acetylated-peptide substrate and parabolic non-competitive inhibition with NAD+ supporting the formation of EI2 and E·NAD+·I2 complexes. Cross-competition inhibition analysis with the non-competitive inhibitor nicotinamide (NAM) ruled out the possibility of the NAM-binding site being the second inhibitor binding site, suggesting the presence of a unique alternate pocket accommodating the inhibitor. One of these compounds was also found to be a potent inhibitor of the intraerythrocytic growth of P. falciparum with 50% inhibitory concentration in the micromolar range.

The base catalyzed cyclization of N-aryl and N-alkyl-O-propargyl carbamates is studied in detail. The effect of various bases and solvents on the efficacy of this cyclization reaction is analyzed and a new base-solvent system (LiOH in DMF) for effective cyclization of these carbamates is reported. A number of differentially substituted O-propargyl carbamates were cyclized to the corresponding 2-oxazolidinones under these conditions. The reaction conditions reported here are mild and no side reactions were observed in any of the substrates studied. A propargyl carbonate group was unaffected during the course of the cyclization of the O-propargyl carbamate group. The propargyl carbamates were prepared from the corresponding alkyl or aryl amines and the corresponding propargyl chloroformate, resulting in oxazolidinones diversely substituted at the nitrogen atom. N-Aryl-O-propargyl carbamates cyclized readily to the corresponding oxazolidinones with LiOH in DMF, whereas N-alkyl-O-propargyl carbamates reacted slowly under the same conditions. O-Propargyl carbamates substituted at the 1-position tend to cyclize faster whereas those substituted at 3-position cyclize considerably slower than the unsubstituted carbamates.

A very efficient method for the simultaneous protection of the amino group and activation of the carboxyl group of amino acids is reported using propargyl pentafluorophenyl carbonate (PocOPfp). The amino group is protected as a propargyloxycarbonyl (Poc) derivative, and the carboxyl group is activated as a pentafluorophenyl ester. The yields obtained are good to excellent ranging from 60 to 87%.

A method for preparing an aliphatic chloroformate comprising, introducing a mixture of at least one aliphatic hydroxyl compound, phosgene, at least one solvent, and optionally at least one organic base into a flow reactor to obtain a unidirectional flowing reaction mixture. The at least one aliphatic hydroxyl compound comprises at least one aliphatic hydroxyl group. The unidirectional flowing reaction mixture is maintained at a temperature between about 0° C. and about 60° C. to produce a single product stream comprising an aliphatic chloroformate.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Propargyloxycarbonyl chloride, 1, has been used to protect the hydroxyl and amino functionalities of amino alcohols and aminophenols in one pot using triethylamine or pyridine as a base. The increased reactivity of benzyltriethylammonium tetrathiomolybdate, 2, toward propargyl carbonates over propargyl carbamates is studied in detail and has been exploited further to develop an orthogonal protection strategy for the hydroxyl and amino functionalities. For example, 2-amino-1-butanol, 6a, was treated with 1 to get the N,O-diPoc compound 7a in 90% yield, which when treated with 1.1 equiv of 2 at room temperature removes the Poc group attached to oxygen while leaving the one attached to nitrogen intact to yield compound 8a in 85% yield. This particular observation offers a new protecting strategy where an amine and an alcohol group can be protected simultaneously in one pot, and in a later synthetic step, if the alcohol group has to be deprotected selectively, it can be achieved with 1 equiv of 2.
