- Versatile Methods to Dispense Submilligram Quantities of Solids Using Chemical-Coated Beads for High-Throughput Experimentation
-
High-throughput experimentation is a technique for screening multiple reaction conditions in parallel at micro or nanoscale without depleting precious starting materials. However, assembling a comprehensive screening set often involves the distribution of large number of solid reagents with diverse physical properties in small quantities. Automated solid dispensing, especially at submilligram scale, has long been a challenge with no practical and reliable solutions. This paper describes the use of our newly developed chemical-coated beads technology to provide a universal approach to the solid handling problem. This technology, when combined with an automated solid dispensing platform or calibrated scoops, can dispense submilligram quantities of a variety of solids with efficiency and adequate accuracy.

- Discovery of AG-120 (Ivosidenib): A First-in-Class Mutant IDH1 Inhibitor for the Treatment of IDH1 Mutant Cancers
-
Somatic point mutations at a key arginine residue (R132) within the active site of the metabolic enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) confer a novel gain of function in cancer cells, resulting in the production of d-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), an oncometabolite. Elevated 2-HG levels are implicated in epigenetic alterations and impaired cellular differentiation. IDH1 mutations have been described in an array of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Here, we report the discovery of AG-120 (ivosidenib), an inhibitor of the IDH1 mutant enzyme that exhibits profound 2-HG lowering in tumor models and the ability to effect differentiation of primary patient AML samples ex vivo. Preliminary data from phase 1 clinical trials enrolling patients with cancers harboring an IDH1 mutation indicate that AG-120 has an acceptable safety profile and clinical activity.

- Fmoc-OPhth, the reagent of Fmoc protection
-
Fmoc-OSu has been widely used for Fmoc protection of amino groups, especially amino acids, in solid phase peptide synthesis. However, it has been recognized that Fmoc-βAla-OH is formed as a by-product via the Lossen rearrangement during the reaction. Since we reconfirmed the formation of Fmoc-βAla-OH during the preparation of Fmoc-AA-OH by Fmoc-OSu, Fmoc-OPhth was designed and synthesized as a new Fmoc reagent to avoid the formation of Fmoc-βAla-OH. Furthermore, Fmoc protection by Fmoc-OPhth and Fmoc-SPPS were evaluated. The various Fmoc-amino acids prepared by Fmoc-OPhth were carried out in good yields and these are applicable in Fmoc-SPPS.

- Polymerization of L-proline functionalized styrene and its catalytic performance as a supported organocatalyst for direct enantioselective aldol reaction
-
As an alternative approach to the graft modification of polymers to fabricate polymer-supported chiral organocatalysts in a bottom-up fashion, L-prolinamide functionalized polymers were prepared by general solution homopolymerization or copolymerization of L-proline functionalized styrene monomer in the presence of 1,4-divinylbenzene as the crosslinking agent. The catalytic performance of the as-prepared heterogeneous catalysts towards the direct enantioselective aldol reaction of ketones with a series of aromatic aldehydes was explored. Our findings indicate that the as-prepared heterogeneous catalysts can afford relevant aldol addition products with good yields (up to 96%), high diastereoselectivities (up to 8:92 dr) and excellent enantiomeric excess (up to 96%); they also exhibit good recyclability, retaining high yield and rate as well as good selectivity after several cycles.

- Caged xanthones: Potent inhibitors of global predominant MRSA USA300
-
Total of 22 caged xanthones were subjected to susceptibility testing of global epidemic MRSA USA300. Natural morellic acid showed the strongest potency (MIC of 12.5 μM). However, its potent toxicity diminishes MRSA therapeutic potential. We synthetically modified natural morellic acid to yield 13 derivatives (3a-3m). Synthetically modified 3b retained strong potency in MRSA growth inhibition, yet the toxicity was 20-fold less than natural morellic acid, permitting the possibility of using caged xanthones for MRSA therapeutic.

- MgI2-Mediated Chemoselective Cleavage of Protecting Groups: An Alternative to Conventional Deprotection Methodologies
-
The scope of MgI2 as a valuable tool for quantitative and mild chemoselective cleavage of protecting groups is described here. This novel synthetic approach expands the use of protecting groups, widens the concept of orthogonality in synthetic processes, and offers a facile opportunity to release compounds from solid supports. Amazing MgI2: Protecting groups have had a tremendous positive impact on the art of biomolecule synthesis. In a context in which the use of attractive protecting groups is often limited by harsh deprotection conditions and low chemoselective flexibility, MgI2 offers, by the execution of a very simple protocol, a fresh vision with extensive perspectives.

- Synthesis of l -octaarginine through microencapsulated palladium-catalyzed allyl ester deprotection
-
Octaarginine has been described as a molecular transporter. We report a useful synthesis of orthogonally protected l-octaarginine by using a method based on a microencapsulated palladium catalyst. Known palladium-based methods for allyl ester deprotection have been modified to facilitate purification of the unprotected intermediates. This improvement in the purification step has also been tested with a variety of allyl α-amino esters and allyl α,β-unsaturated esters.

- A one-pot procedure for the preparation of N-9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl- α-amino diazoketones from α-amino acids
-
The study describes a new "one-pot" route to the synthesis of N-9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) α-amino diazoketones. The procedure was tested on a series of commercially available free or side-chain protected α-amino acids employed as precursors. The conversion into the title compounds was achieved by masking and activating the α-amino acids with a single reagent, namely, 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (Fmoc-Cl). The resulting N-protected mixed anhydrides were reacted with diazomethane to lead to the α-amino diazoketones, which were isolated by flash column chromatography in very good to excellent overall yields. The versatility of the procedure was verified on lipophilic α-amino acids and further demonstrated by the preparation of N-Fmoc-α-amino diazoketones also from α-amino acids containing side-chain masking groups, which are orthogonal to the Fmoc one. The results confirmed that tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc), tert-butyl (tBu), and 2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyldihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl (Pbf), three acid-labile protecting groups mostly adopted in the solution and solid-phase peptide synthesis, are compatible to the adopted reaction conditions. In all cases, the formation of the corresponding C-methyl ester of the starting amino acid was not observed. Moreover, the proposed method respects the chirality of the starting α-amino acids. No racemization occurred when the procedure was applied to the synthesis of the respective N-Fmoc-protected α-amino diazoketones from l-isoleucine and l-threonine and to the preparation of a diastereomeric pair of N-Fmoc-protected dipeptidyl diazoketones.

Four Merrifield resin-supported thiourea organocatalysts derived from l-proline were synthesized and found to be efficient catalysts for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction between ketone and aromatic aldehydes. The catalysts exhibited high catalytic activity, diastereoselectivity and excellent enantioselectivity at room temperature with a low loading (only 2 mol %). They also retained unchanged enantioselectivities even after being reused for at least four cycles.

- Liquid-chromatography quantitative analysis of 20 amino acids after derivatization with FMOC-CI and its application to different origin Radix isatidis
-
We developed a simple, rapid and reliable method for determination of 20 common amino acids based on derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC-CI) and RP-LC/UV, this method was first introduced into quantitative analysis of amino acids. The amino groups of amino acids were trapped with FMOC-CI to form amino acid-FMOC-Cl adducts which can be suitable for LC-UV. Chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column with a mobile phase gradient consisting of acetonitrile and sodium acetate solution. This method was shown to be sensitive for 20 common amino acids. In the intra-day precisions assay, the range of RSDs was 3.21-7.67% with accuracies of 92.34-102.51%; for the inter-day precisions assay, the range of RSDs was 5.82-9.19% with accuracies of 90.25-100.63%. The results also indicated that solutions of amino acids-FMOC-Cl can be kept at room temperature for at least 24 h without showing significant losses in the quantified values. The validated method was successfully applied to the determination of major four kinds of amino acids in R. isatidis samples (Arg, Pro, Met and Val). The total content of amino acids in different origin R. isatidis was 13.32-19.16 mg/g. The differences between R. isatidis samples were large using HCA.

- Exercises in pyrrolidine chemistry: Gram scale synthesis of a Pro-Pro dipeptide mimetic with a polyproline type II helix conformation
-
A practical and scalable synthesis of a Fmoc-protected tricyclic dipeptide mimetic (6), that is, a 1,4-diaza-tricyclo-[8.3.03, 7]-tridec-8-ene derivative resembling a rigidified di-L-proline in a polyproline type II (PPII) helix conformation, was developed. The strategy is based on a Ru-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis of a dipeptide (4) prepared by PyBOP coupling of cis-5-vinylproline tert-butylester (2) and trans-N-Boc-3-vinylproline (rac-3) followed by chromatographic diastereomer separation. Building block 2 was prepared from L-proline in six steps via electrochemical C5-methoxylation, cyanation and conversion of the nitrile into a vinyl substituent. Building block rac-3 was prepared in five steps exploiting a Cu-catalyzed 1,4-addition of vinyl-MgBr to a 2,3-dehydroproline derivative in the key step. In the course of the investigation subtle dependencies of protecting groups on the reactivity of the 2,3- and 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives were observed. The configuration and conformational preference of several intermediates were determined by X-ray crystallography. The developed synthesis allows the preparation of substantial amounts of 6, which will be used in the search for new small molecules for the modulation of protein-protein interactions involving prolin-rich motifs (PRDs).

-
Libraries of hardly available amino acids bearing a heteroaromatic ring (2-pyrimidyl, substituted 2-pyridyl or 2-thiazolyl) at the amino group were prepared using solid-phase synthesis on various resins. The synthesized compounds are structurally similar to some known antidiabetic drugs. The paper combines features of a review (elementary introduction to the solid-phase synthesis methodology and technique for beginners and selected methods from peptide chemistry) and step-by-step experimental protocols (tested by the authors) useful as a methodic tool. The presented protocols (immobilization and modification of amino acids, placing and removal of common protective groups) require no sophisticated equipment and may be useful as pictorial introductory tasks for students education.

- Efficient procedure for the preparation of oligomer-free N-fmoc amino acids
-
A two-step method is presented for the peptide-free, high-purity, and high-yield synthesis of N-Fmoc amino acids. The first step involves the preparation of stable dicyclohexylammonium-amino acid ionic adduct in acetone. Subsequently, the ionic adducts, on reaction with Fmoc-Nosu under mild alkaline conditions, give dipeptide-free N-Fmoc amino acids. The positive charge of the dicyclohexylammonium counterion in the ionic salt has a longer radius, moderating the nucleophilicity of the carboxylate ion of the amino acid and preventing by-products by arresting the formation of mixed anhydrides, the precursors of oligopeptide impurities.

- A convenient, general synthesis of 1,1-dimethylallyl esters as protecting groups for carboxylic acids
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Carboxylic acids were converted in high yield to their 1,1-dimethylallyl (DMA) esters in two steps. Palladium-catalyzed deprotection of DMA esters was shown to be compatible with tert-butyl, benzyl, and Fmoc protecting groups, and Fmoc deprotection could be carried out selectively in the presence of DMA esters. DMA esters were also shown to be resistant to nucleophilic attack, suggesting that they will serve as alternatives to tert-butyl esters when acidic deprotection conditions need to be avoided.

- Phenylhydrazide as an enzyme-labile protecting group in peptide synthesis
-
The enzymatic cleavage of amino acid phenylhydrazides with the enzyme tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) offers a new, mild, and selective method for C-terminal deprotection of peptides. The advantages of the described methodology are the very mild oxidative removal of the protecting group at room temperature and pH 7, a high chemo- and regioselectivity, and the availability of the biocatalyst. Even in oxygen-saturated solution, the oxidation of sensitive methionine residues was not observed. These features make the methodology suitable for the synthesis of sensitive peptide conjugates. Mechanistic data suggest that the hydrolysis of the oxidized adducts proceeds by a free-radical mechanism.
