Amino acids bearing a thiol group at the β-position are useful for native chemical ligation. Phenylalanine and tyrosine derivatives bearing a thiol group at the β-position were synthesized. Racemic phenylalanine and tyrosine were selected as starting materials and were introduced a bromo atom at the β-position by photoreaction. Subsequent substitution reaction of the bromo atom with p-methoxybenzylmercaptan yielded the corresponding amino acids bearing a thiol group at the β-position. Enzymatic optical resolution using l-aminoacylase and subsequent chemical conversion gave the corresponding optically pure l- and d-phenylalanine and tyrosine derivatives bearing a thiol group at the β-position.

Page/Page column 8-9, (2008/06/13)
The present invention provides a Dpp4 inhibitor which comprises a leucine derivative of the following formula (1) or a methionine derivative of the following formula (2): wherein each R1 and R3 represents a hydrogen atom (H) and an L-amino acid residue; R2 represents a hydroxyl group (OH), alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, amino group (NH2), alkylamino group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, glycine residue, β-alanine residue, L-amino acid (except for proline, alanine and phenylalanine) residue or L-amino-acid amide (except for proline amide, alanine amide and phenylalanine amide) residue; and R4 represents a hydroxyl group (OH), alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, amino group (NH2), alkylamino group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, glycine residue, β-alanine residue, L-amino acid (except for proline and alanine) residue or L-amino-acid amide (except for proline amide and alanine amide) residue. These derivatives also act as autophagy regulators.

Co-ordiantion compounds formed between L-tyrosylglycine (H2L), L-tyrosyl-L-leucine, L-tyrosyl-D-leucine, glycyltyrosine, L-leucyl-L-tyrosine, and L-tyrosineamide a H+ and Cu2+ have been studied potentiometrically at 25 deg C and l=0.10 mol dm-3 (K(NO3)).In addition to the expected complex compounds (Cu(HL))+, (CuL), (Cu(H-1L))-, and (Cu(H-2L))2-, and (Cu(HL2))-, a binuclear complex, ((Cu(H-1L))2)2-, was found to form in the pH region 8-10.5 with tyrosylglycine and tyrosyl-D/L-leucine (giving a green solution) but was absent when tyrosine was the terminal carboxyl of the dipeptide.Spectrophotometric titrations showed this dimer to involve cooper(II)-phenolate oxygen bonding.A structure for the dimer is described which explains the absence of a comparable dimer with glycyl- and leucyl-tyrosine, and the stereoselectivity found with the tyrosyl-D/L-leucine diastereomers.
