Synthesis of β-substituted alanines via Michael addition of nucleophiles to dehydroalanine derivatives
Ferreira,Maia,Monteiro,Sacramento,Sebastiao
, p. 3317 - 3324 (2000)
The synthesis of β-substituted alanines was carried out. It was done through Michael addition of nucleophiles to dehydroalanine derivatives. The same method could be applied to dipeptides containing dehydroalanine. Improved results were obtained when the

Three N-Boc-protected amino acids, l-serine, l-aspartic, and l-glutamic acid, were either converted into their methyl azidoalkanoates or various alkynes via Bestmann-Ohira strategy or via reaction with propargylamine and propargyl bromide, respectively. The Cu-catalyzed click reaction provided a library of amino acid based triazoles, which were further N-methylated to triazolium iodides or deprotected and precipitated as free amino acid triazole dihydrochlorides. The biological properties of all derivatives were investigated by cytotoxicity assay (against L929 mouse fibroblasts) and broth microdilution method (E. coli ΔTolC and S. aureus). First results reveal complete inactivity for triazolium iodides with cell viabilities and microbial growths nearly 100 %, indicating them as possible analogs of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs).

, p. 2685 - 2688 (2016/11/30)
The synthesis of the four stereoisomers of a new 1,2,3-triazole analogue of rhizobitoxine from serine is described. The key step is a Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition on an ethynylglycine synthon.
A simple approach for the synthesis of new pyrimidinyl α-amino acids
Elmarrouni, Abdelatif,Güell, Mireia,Collell, Cristina,Heras, Montserrat
experimental part, p. 612 - 623 (2010/09/14)
A simple synthetic method for the preparation of optically active pyrimidinyl α-amino acids is presented. A nucleophilic ipso-substitution reaction between 2-(benzylsulfonyl)-4-isopropoxypyrimidines and a nucleophilic side chain of several protected natural α-amino acids is investigated to obtain new pyrimidin-2-yl α-amino acids. A detailed optimisation study of this reaction is discussed. Moreover, the selective O-alkylation of 2-(benzylsulfanyl)-4(3H)pyrimidinones with a hydroxylic side chain of some natural α-amino acids under Mitsunobu conditions is studied as a method to prepare new pyrimidin-4-yl α-aminoesters.
Prolonged stability by cyclization: Macrocyclic phosphino dipeptide isostere inhibitors of β-secretase (BACE1)
Huber, Timo,Manzenrieder, Florian,Kuttruff, Christian A.,Dorner-Ciossek, Cornelia,Kessler, Horst
body text, p. 4427 - 4431 (2010/04/05)
Cyclization of recently reported linear phosphino dipeptide isostere inhibitors of BACE1 via side chain olefin metathesis yielded macrocyclic BACE1 inhibitors. The most potent compound II-P1 (IC50 of 47 nM) and the corresponding linear analog I were tested for serum stability. The approach led to three times prolonged half life serum stability of 44 min for the macrocyclic inhibitor II-P1 compared to the linear compound I.
Facile conversion of cysteine and alkyl cysteines to dehydroalanine on protein surfaces: Versatile and switchable access to functionalized proteins
Bernardes, Goncalo J. L.,Chalker, Justin M.,Errey, James C.,Davis, Benjamin G.
, p. 5052 - 5053 (2008/10/09)
An efficient and robust oxidative elimination of cysteine to dehydroalanine has been discovered. The reaction is induced by O-mesitylenesulfonylhydroxylamine (MSH) and is compatible with methionine. The key elimination has been executed on protein surfaces and allows ready access to different post-translationally modified proteins through conjugate addition of sulfur nucleophiles to dehydroalanine. Treatment of the resulting thioether with MSH results in regeneration of dehydroalanine, allowing a "functional switch" by subsequent addition of a different thiol. Copyright
Internally stabilized selenocysteine derivatives: Syntheses, 77Se NMR and biomimetic studies
Phadnis, Prasad P.,Mugesh
, p. 2476 - 2481 (2007/10/03)
Selenocystine ([Sec]2) and aryl-substituted selenocysteine (Sec) derivatives are synthesized, starting from commercially available amino acid L-serine. These compounds are characterized by a number of analytical techniques such as NMR (1H, 13C and 77Se) and TOF mass spectroscopy. This study reveals that the introduction of amino/imino substituents capable of interacting with selenium may stabilize the Sec derivatives. This study further suggests that the oxidation-elimination reactions in Sec derivatives could be used for the generation of biologically active selenols having internally stabilizing substituents.

Diselenides and Allyl Selenides as Glutathione Peroxidase Mimetics. Remarkable Activity of Cyclic Seleninates Produced in Situ by the Oxidation of Allyl ω-Hydroxyalkyl Selenides
Back, Thomas G.,Moussa, Ziad
, p. 13455 - 13460 (2007/10/03)
A series of aliphatic diselenides and selenides containing coordinating substituents was tested for glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like catalytic activity in a model system in which the reduction of tert-butyl hydroperoxide with benzyl thiol to afford dibenzyl disulfide and tert-butyl alcohol was performed under standard conditions and monitored by HPLC. Although the diselenides showed generally poor catalytic activity, allyl selenides proved more effective. In particular, allyl 3-hydroxypropyl selenide (25) rapidly generated 1,2-oxaselenolane Se-oxide (31) in situ by a series of oxidation and [2,3]sigmatropic rearrangement steps. The remarkably active cyclic seleninate 31 proved to be the true catalyst, reacting with the thiol via a postulated mechanism in which the thioseleninate 32 is first produced, followed by further thiolysis to selenenic acid 33 and oxidation-dehydration to regenerate 31. In contrast to catalysis with GPx, formation of the corresponding selenenyl sulfide 34 comprises a competing deactivation pathway in the catalytic cycle of 31, as a separate experiment revealed that authentic 34 was a much less effective catalyst than 31. 1,2-Oxaselenane Se-oxide (37), the six-membered homologue of 31, was formed similarly from allyl 4-hydroxybutyl selenide (26), but proved a less effective catalyst than 31. Compounds 31 and 37 are the first examples of unsubstituted monocyclic seleninate esters.
Studies directed toward the design of orally active renin inhibitors. 1. Some factors influencing the absorption of small peptides
Rosenberg,Spina,Woods,Polakowski,Martin,Yao,Stein,Cohen,Barlow,Egan,Tricarico,Baker,Kleinert
, p. 449 - 459 (2007/10/02)
A systematic evaluation of structure-absorption relationships using a high throughput intraduodenal rat screening model has led to the delineation of a set of structural parameters that appear to govern bioavailability in a series of peptide-based renin inhibitors. Optimum structures, exemplified by 25 and 41, incorporated a single, solubilizing substituent at the C- or N- terminus combined with a lipophilic P2-site residue. Both inhibitors gave unprecedented plasma drug levels upon intraduodenal administration to monkeys, and the calculated bioavailability for 41 (14 ± 4%) is the highest reported for any peptidic renin inhibitor.
