The nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ)/N/OFQ receptor (NOP) system controls different biological functions including pain and cough reflex. Mixed NOP/opioid receptor agonists elicit similar effects to strong opioids but with reduced side effects. In this work, 31 peptides with the general sequence [Tyr/Dmt1,Xaa5]N/OFQ(1-13)-NH2 were synthesized and pharmacologically characterized for their action at human recombinant NOP/opioid receptors. The best results in terms of NOP versus mu opioid receptor potency were obtained by substituting both Tyr1 and Thr5 at the N-terminal portion of N/OFQ(1-13)-NH2 with the noncanonical amino acid Dmt. [Dmt1,5]N/OFQ(1-13)-NH2 has been identified as the most potent dual NOP/mu receptor peptide agonist so far described. Experimental data have been complemented by in silico studies to shed light on the molecular mechanisms by which the peptide binds the active form of the mu receptor. Finally, the compound exerted antitussive effects in an in vivo model of cough.
Stereostructure Clarifying Total Synthesis of the (Polyenoyl)tetramic Acid Militarinone B. A Highly Acid-Labile N-Protecting Group for Amides ?
Drescher, Christian,Brückner, Reinhard
, p. 6194 - 6199 (2021/08/18)
The 5S, 8′R, and 10′R configurations of militarinone B (3), which is a natural product from Paecilomyces militaris, should equal those in its biosynthetic precursor, militarinone C. The configuration at C-1′ emerged from syntheses of the militarinone B candidates 1′′S- and 1′′R-(5S,8′R,10′R)-3 from the building blocks 9, 11, 14, and 15a while introducing TMB as a more acid-labile N-protecting group for β-ketoamides than DMB. Comparisons of 1′′S- and 1′′R-(5S,8′R,10′R)-3 with natural militarinone B (3; reisolated from Nature) revealed identity versus distinctness.
Structure-Elucidating Total Synthesis of the (Polyenoyl)tetramic Acid Militarinone C §
Brückner, Reinhard,Drescher, Christian,Hamburger, Matthias,Keller, Morris,Potterat, Olivier
, (2020/03/30)
The (polyenoyl)tetramic acid militarinone C (1) heads a family of seven members. Before our work, the configuration of C-5 was unknown whereas the configurations of C-8′ and C-10′ were either (R,R) or (S,S). We synthesized the four stereoisomers of constitution 1, which conform with these insights. This included cross-coupling both enantiomers of the western building block (8) with both enantiomers of the eastern building block (9). The specific rotations of the resulting 1 isomers suggested that natural 1 is configured like the coupling partners (S)-8 and (R,R)-9. This conclusion was corroborated by degrading natural 1 to alcohol 35 and by proving its configurational identity with synthetic (R,R)-35.
Synthesis of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metabolites Militarinone C and Fumosorinone A
Bruckner, Sebastian,Weise, Marie,Schobert, Rainer
, p. 10805 - 10812 (2018/08/03)
Militarinone C and fumosorinone A, 3-oligoenoyltetramic acids produced by insect pathogenic fungi, were synthesized for the first time. The pyrrolidine-2,4-dione ring was closed through a late-stage Dieckmann condensation of N-(β-ketoacyl) derivatives of tyrosine, obtained by its acylation with either thioesters or Meldrum's acid derivatives bearing the all-trans-polyene side chain. The latter was built up from (S)-citronellol via an Evans methylation and Wittig or HWE olefinations.

A short and efficient synthesis of (S)-N-Boc-2,6-dimethyltyrosine utilizing palladium-catalyzed directed C-H functionalization is described. This represents the first general method for the ortho-dimethylation of tyrosine derivatives and offers a practical approach for preparing this synthetically important building block. Notably, throughout the reaction sequence no racemization occurs at the susceptible a-chiral centers.

scheme or table, p. 5402 - 5408 (2010/11/18)
A method for the total synthesis of naturally occurring 3-enoyltetramic acids derived from L-tyrosine is described, allowing for three chemical transformations to occur in one pot by using a multicomponent mixture, The sequence involves (1) a base-promoted Lacey-Dieckmann condensation, (2) a Michaelis-Becker reaction, and (3) a Wittig-Horner-Emmons reaction between the resulting 3-phosphonoacetyltetramic acid and an appropriate aldehyde. This sequence of reactions was applied to the synthesis of polyenic pigments obtained from the slime mould Leocarpus fragilis starting from readily available precursors. A series of structurally related compounds was also synthesized and their antibiotic significance was evaluated to elucidate their role in nature.

The synthesis and enzyme inhibition data for a series of thiadiazole urea matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors are described. A broad screening effort was utilized to identify several thiadiazoles which were weak inhibitors of stromelysin. Optimization of the thiadiazole leads to include an α-amino acid side chain with variable terminal amide substituents provided a series of ureas which were moderately effective stromelysin inhibitors, with K(i)'s between 0.3 and 1.0 μM. The most effective analogues utilized an L-phenylalanine as the amino acid component. In particular, unsubstituted 46 had a K(i) of 710 nM, while the p-fluoro analogue 52 displayed increased potency (100 nM). Stromelysin inhibition was further improved using a pentafluorophenylalanine substituent which resulted in 70, a 14 nM inhibitor. While gelatinase inhibition was generally poor, the use of 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine as the amide component usually provided for enhanced activity, with 71 inhibiting gelatinase with a K(i) of 770 nM. The combination of this heterocycle with a p-fluorophenylalanine substituent provided the only analogue, 69, with collagenase activity (13 μM). The SAR for analogues described within this series can be rationalized through consideration of the X-ray structure recently attained for 70 complexed to stromelysin. Uniquely, this structure showed the inhibitor to be completely orientated on the left side of the enzyme cleft. These results suggest that thiadiazole urea heterocycles which incorporate a substituted phenylalanine can provide selective inhibitors of stromelysin. Careful selection of the amide substituent can also provide for analogues with modest gelatinase inhibition.
Synthesis of bicyclic cyclopropylamines by intramolecular cyclopropanation of N-allylamino acid dimethylamides
Cao, Bin,Xiao, Dong,Joullié, Madeleine M.
, p. 1799 - 1801 (2008/02/11)
(formula presented) Cyclopropylamines and substituted cyclopropylamines are important building blocks or substituents in a variety of biologically active compounds. Here, we report the facile syntheses of cyclopropylamines by Ti(II)-mediated intramolecular coupling of a terminal olefinic moiety and the N,N-dimethylcarboxamide moiety of amino acid derivatives. The products have novel and strained bicyclic structures. The yields were good (78-83%) for all three substrates with diastereomeric ratios of about 3:1.
