A major challenge in carbon?hydrogen (C?H) bond functionalization is to have the catalyst control precisely where a reaction takes place. In this study, we report engineered cytochrome P450 enzymes that perform unprecedented enantioselective C?H amidation reactions and control the site selectivity to divergently construct b-, g-, and d-lactams, completely overruling the inherent reactivities of the C?H bonds. The enzymes, expressed in Escherichia coli cells, accomplish this abiological carbon?nitrogen bond formation via reactive iron-bound carbonyl nitrenes generated from nature-inspired acyl-protected hydroxamate precursors. This transformation is exceptionally efficient (up to 1,020,000 total turnovers) and selective (up to 25:1 regioselectivity and 97%, please refer to compound 2v enantiomeric excess), and can be performed easily on preparative scale.

The αvβ3 and α5β 1 integrins are widely expressed in different cancer types and recognize the tripeptide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif present in several extracellular matrix proteins. We report here the design, synthesis and biological activity of some new β-lactam derivatives specifically designed to target integrins. The new molecules contain the azetidinone as the only cyclic framework armed with carboxylic acid and amine terminals spaced from 9 to 14 atoms to switch on recognition by integrins. All tested molecules showed a concentration-dependent enhancement in fibronectin-mediated adhesion of K562 and SK-MEL-24 cells; in particular 1, expressed a higher affinity towards α5β1 integrin (EC50 of 12 nM) and 2 was more selective for integrin αvβ3 (EC 50 of 11 nM).
β-Lactam derivatives as enzyme inhibitors: N-substituted derivatives of (S)-4-oxoazetidine-2-carboxylate as inhibitors of elastase and papain

N-Alkyl and N-acyl substituted 4-oxoazetidine-2-carboxylates are synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of the proteases porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) and papain. The compounds are obtained by alkylation or acylation at the nitrogen of benzyl (S)-4-oxoazetidine-2-carboxylate, which is synthesized by a modified literature procedure. The enzymatic assays prove some derivatives to be effective inhibitors of PPE and/or papain. The N-BOC protected amino acid derivatives 10 and 13 inhibit PPE reversibly with K(I)-values in the micromolar range. On the other hand, papain is inactivated irreversibly by benzyl (S)-2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)azetidin-1-acetate (6).
