Hepsin is a type II transmembrane serine protease (TTSP) associated with cell proliferation and overexpressed in several types of cancer including prostate cancer (PCa). Because of its significant role in cancer progression and metastasis, hepsin is an attractive protein as a potential therapeutic and diagnostic biomarker for PCa. Based on the reported Leu-Arg dipeptide-based hepsin inhibitors, we performed structural modification and determined in vitro hepsin- and matriptase-inhibitory activities. Comprehensive structure-activity relationship studies identified that the p-guanidinophenylalanine-based dipeptide analog 22a exhibited a strong hepsin-inhibitory activity (Ki = 50.5 nM) and 22-fold hepsin selectivity over matriptase. Compound 22a could be a prototype molecule for structural optimization of dipeptide-based hepsin inhibitors.
Solid-phase synthesis of α-amino acids by radical addition to a dehydroalanine derivative

The first synthesis of N-acetyl-a-amino acids by radical addition on solid support to commercially available 2-acetamidoacrylic acid using the mercury method is described. The reaction proceeds in acceptable chemical efficiency (49-60%) depending on the nature of the mercury halide agent. Cleavage by mild acid treatment released the product from the solid support in excellent purity.

An N-heterocyclic carbene and photoredox cocatalyzed α-amino-acid decarboxylative carbonylation reaction is presented. This method displays good scope generality, providing a direct pathway to access various downstream α-amino ketones under bio- and medicinally compatible conditions. Moreover, this strategy is appealing to chemical biology because it has great potential for the chemical modification of peptides or the late-stage synthesis of keto-peptides.
The Enantioselective Dakin-West Reaction

, p. 2719 - 2723 (2016/02/27)
Here we report the development of the first enantioselective Dakin-West reaction, yielding α-acetamido methylketones with up to 58 % ee with good yields. Two of the obtained products were recrystallized once to achieve up to 84 % ee. The employed methylimidazole-containing oligopeptides catalyze both the acetylation of the azlactone intermediate and the terminal enantioselective decarboxylative protonation. We propose a dispersion-controlled reaction path that determines the asymmetric reprotonation of the intermediate enolate after the decarboxylation.

Air-stable Rh complexes ligated by strongly σ-donating cyclic (amino)(alkyl)carbenes (CAACs) show unique catalytic activity for the selective hydrogenation of aromatic ketones and phenols by reducing the aryl groups. The use of CAAC ligands is essential for achieving high selectivity and conversion. This method is characterized by its good compatibility with unsaturated ketones, esters, carboxylic acids, amides, and amino acids and is scalable without detriment to its efficiency.

experimental part, p. 6953 - 6963 (2010/02/28)
An efficient and practical arene hydrogenation procedure based on the use of heterogeneous platinum group catalysts has been developed. Rh/C is the most effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of the aromatic ring, which can be conducted in iPrOH under neutral conditions and at ordinary to medium H 2 pressures (10 atm). A variety of arenes such as alkylbenzenes, benzoic acids, pyridines, furans, are hydrogenated to the corresponding cyclohexyl and heterocyclic compounds in good to excellet yields. The use of Ru/C, less expensive than Rh/C, affords an effective and practical method for the hydrogenation of arenes including phenols. Both catalysts can be reused several times after simple filtration without any significant loss of catalytic activity.

The invention relates to novel pyrrolidine derivatives represented by formula (1): STR1 wherein: R1 represents (1) a lower alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or (2) a 3- to 15-membered mono- or fused cyclic hydrocarbon group which may contain a hetero atom on the ring, or which may be substituted with a substituent(s); each of n and m represents an integer and the sum of n and m is an integer of 0 to 2; each of X and E represents oxygen, NR' (wherein R' is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms), sulfur, phenylene, CH=CH or CH2 ; A represents an amino acid residue or an imino acid residue, which functional group may be optionally protected, or a glycine residue which may be substituted at the amino moiety thereof; and, Y1 represents a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms; or a salt thereof. The pyrrolidine derivatives inhibit a prolyl endopeptidase and are expected to be effective for the treatment of amnesia.

, p. 909 - 920 (2007/10/03)
Poststatin analogues containing (S)-2-oxo-2-(2-pyrrolidinyl)acetyl moiety in P1 were synthesized and examined for their inhibitory activity against prolyl endopeptidase and cathepsin B in vitro. Introduction of non-peptidyl cycloalkylamine component in P'1 was effective and P3-acyl groups must be widely modifiable for prolyl endopeptidase inhibition. Acyl-L-phenylalanyl-(S)-2-oxo-2-(2-pyrrolidinyl)acetyl-cycloalkylamide type compounds showed IC50 value of nano to subnano g/ml as prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor and were shown no significant inhibitory activities against cathepsin B, a cysteine protease.
