Novel symmetric molecules, bearing a benzidine prolinamide core, two terminal carbamate caps of variable sizes and nature, including natural and unnatural amino acids were developed. Several terminal N-carbamate substituents of the core structure, ranging from linear methyl, ethyl and butyl groups to branching isobutyl group; and an aromatic substituent were also synthesized. Series 1 has hydrophobic AA residues, namely S and R phenylglycine and a terminal carbamate capping group, whereas Series 2 bears sulphur containing amino acids, specifically S and R methionine and the natural R methylcysteine. The novel compounds were tested for their inhibitory activity (EC50) and their cytotoxicity (CC50), using an HCV 1b (Con1) reporter replicon cell line. Compound 4 with the unnatural capping residue, bearing D-Phenylglycine amino acid residue and N-isobutyloxycarbonyl capping group, was the most active within the two series, with EC50 = 0.0067 nM. Moreover, it showed high SI50 > 14788524 and was not cytotoxic at the highest tested concentration (100 μΜ), indicating its safety profile. Compound 4 also inhibited HCV genotypes 2a, 3a and 4a. Compared to the clinically approved NS5A inhibitor Daclatasvir, compound 4 shows higher activity against genotypes 1b and 3a, as well as improved safety profile.

Enantioselective inclusion of α-amino acids with crystals of α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) has been achieved by converting the amino acids into sulfonate salts with pyrene-1-sulfonic acid (PyS). For example, crystals of α-CD selectively include L-leucine/PyS (1:1) salt in a host/guest ratio of ~1 with 92%ee from a solution of the racemic salt in ethanol/N-methylformamide (91:9) at 40 °C. Under conditions optimized for individual amino acids, the PyS salts of valine, phenylalanine, and methionine are also included with good enantioselectivities (up to 86%ee). Mechanistic studies for the inclusion of leucine/PyS salt reveals that the enantioselectivity originates from the difference in stability between the inclusion complexes of D- and L-leucine/PyS salts with α-CD in crystals.

Carica papaya lipase-catalyzed transesterification of the 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl esters of N-benzyloxycarbonylated dl-amino acids carrying aliphatic side chains proceeded smoothly and, in almost all the cases, enantiospecifically (E = >200), affording the l-methyl esters and leaving the d-trifluoroethyl esters intact.

Routes to putative N-acyl-D-ala-D-ala surrogates, beginning with the conversion of 4-, 5-, and 6-membered lactones into 5-, 6-, and 7-membered cyclic hydroxamates, are reported. The key step of the synthesis is trimethylaluminium-promoted cyclization of an ω-aminooxyester. The 7-membered cyclic hydroxamate crystallizes in a chair conformation. Extension of the reaction sequence to homoserine or homoserine lactone leads to cyclocanaline and N-acylated cyclocanalines. The 4-phenylacetamido derivative of cyclocanaline crystallizes in a boat conformation. The attachment of a 2-carboxypropyl substituent to the ring nitrogen of a 4-acylaminocyclocanaline has been effected, prior to cyclization, by coupling of the acyclic aminooxyester precursor to the triflate of benzyl lactate or, after cyclization, by coupling to tert-butyl α-bromopropionate in the presence of potassium fluoride - alumina, followed by removal of the protecting group in each case. A six-membered homolog of the antibiotic lactivicin has been synthesized by the reaction of 4-phenylacetamidocyclocanaline with benzyl 2-oxoglutarate in the presence of carbodiimide, followed by hydrogenolysis. Starting with methyl 2,4-dibromo-2,4-dideoxy-L-erythronate, which is available in two steps from L-ascorbic acid, these reaction sequences have been applied to the stereospecific synthesis of a D-alanine derivative whose nitrogen atom is enclosed within a 3,4-disubstituted [1,2]oxazinan-3-one.

Ytterbium triflate catalyses the deprotection of tert-butyl esters selectively in the presence of other esters under mild conditions in almost quantitative yields. The reactions are carried out in nitromethane (45°-50°C) using 5 mole percent of the catalyst.

The canavanine derivatives D-canavanine and L-homocanavanine as well as the 1-methyl and 1-ethyl esters of L-canavanine were synthesized and evaluated for biological activity in fifth instar larvae of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta .While L-homocanavanine did not increase intrinsic toxicity, it was as deleterious as L-canavanine.D-Canavanine was biologically active, as demonstrated by its ability to cause larval edema, but the D-enantiomer had little ability to elicit the larval growth inhibition and pupal deformity which are hallmarks of canavanine toxicosis and was postulated to be linked to aberrant protein production.The 1-methyl and 1-ethyl esters of L-canavanine were synthesized to determine if enhancing canavanine's hydrophobicity might increase its bioavailability.Our experiments revealed that these esters are less toxic than canavanine; the ethyl ester disrupted larval growth more than did the methyl analogue. - Keywords: L-Canavanine; D-canavanine; L-homocanavanine; 1-methyl-L-canavanine; 1-ethyl-L-canavanine; Manduca sexta

A variety of racemic carboxylic acids have been for the first time directly resolved by normal-phase, high-performance liquid chromatography using a hexane-2-propanol eluting system containing a small amount (ca. 1percent) of a strong carboxylic acid, like formic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and trifluoroacetic acid.
