PCTA[12] is a 12-membered tetraaza-macrocyclic ligand that incorporates a pyridine unit within the macrocyclic ring and three acetate pendant arms. Unlike DOTA and NOTA chelators, PCTA is a recent entry to the field of macrocyclic polyaminocarboxylate ligands available to complex a variety of M2+/M3+ ions for biomedical applications such as diagnostic and radiotherapeutic. Despite the promising properties of its chelates, only a few of bifunctional chelating agents (BFCAs) derived from PCTA have been described so far. Based on our very recent methodology for the preparation of PCTA[12] itself, we report here the efficient synthesis of several BFCAs derived from PCTA bearing a free reactive function group, mainly devoted to conjugation purposes: ester, carboxylic acid, alcohol, aliphatic amine, aromatic amine, maleimide, bromo or azide functions. These functions were introduced either on the 4-position of the pyridine ring or on the methylene carbon atom of the central acetate chelating arm, while keeping the three carboxylate groups available for metal chelation. Moreover, two of these BFCAs-PCTA were used for conjugation with a tetrapeptide (cholecystokinin analogue), a bioactive molecule (biotin), or a solid support (silica gel).

Gruzdev,Levit,Olshevskaya,Krasnov
, p. 769 - 776 (2017/07/07)
(S)-Asparagine and (S)-glutamine ortho-carboranyl derivatives with free amino and carboxy groups in the α-position were synthesized. By an example of Nγ-(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecarboran-3-yl)-(S)-glutamine it was demonstrated that the developed synthetic approach carboranyl derivatives of amino acids allowed the preparation of optically pure isomers.

Lipid-modified proteins play decisive roles in important biological processes such as signal transduction, organisation of the cytoskeleton and vesicular transport. Lipidation of these proteins is essential for correct biological function. Among the modifications with lipids, prenylation and myristoylation are well understood. However, the machinery of palmitoylation is still under investigation. Recently, an enzyme, acyl protein thioesterase 1 (APT1), that may play a regulatory role in the palmitoylation cycle of HRas and G-protein a subunits, was purified. Motivated by this work, several inhibitors of APT1 were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated leading to highly active compounds.
Synthesis of (ε-13C-,ε-15N)-enriched L-lysine - Establishing schemes for the preparation of all possible 13C and 15N isotopomers of L-lysine, L-ornithine, and L-proline

, p. 4391 - 4396 (2007/10/03)
In this paper we describe a simple synthetic strategy that, with the right rational adaptation, gives direct access to any 13C/15N isotopomer of L-glutamate, L-ornithine, L-proline, L-lysine, and L-α, amino adipic acid. This strategy also allows access to nonproteinogenic amino acids like L-citrulline in high yields and optical purity. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004.
Tight binding ligand approach to oligosaccharide-grafted protein
Totani, Kiichiro,Matsuo, Ichiro,Ito, Yukishige
, p. 2285 - 2289 (2007/10/03)
A novel type of artificial glycoprotein was developed, by using dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and methotrexate (MTX) as a protein-ligand pair. Various oligosaccharides linked to MTX were shown to bind tightly with DHFR and afforded oligosaccharide-grafted protein, which could be isolated easily by lectin beads.
Highly enantioselective synthesis of cyclic and functionalized α-amino acids by means of a chiral phase transfer catalyst
Corey,Noe, Mark C,Xu, Feng
, p. 5347 - 5350 (2007/10/03)
The chiral quaternary ammonium salt 1 serves as phase transfer catalyst for the enantioselective conversion of the glycine derivative 2 to a variety of cyclic and acyclic chiral α amino acids with enantioselectivities as high as 200:1 in alkylation and Michael addition reactions.
Folate-based inhibitors of thymidylate synthase: Synthesis and antitumor activity of γ-linked sterically hindered dipeptide analogues of 2-desamino- 2-methyl-N10-propargyl-5,8-dideazafolic acid (ICI 198583)

In an effort to synthesize inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS) that do not undergo polyglutamation, a series of γ-linked sterically hindered dipeptide analogues of 2-desamino-2-methyl-N10-propargyl-5,8-dideazafolic acid (ICI 198583) was pre

Methanofuran, 3-[p-((N-(N″-((4R,5S)- or (4S,5A)-4,5,7-tricarboxyheptanoyl)-γL-glutamyl-γ-L-glutamyl)-β- amino)ethyl]phenoxymethyl}-5-(aminomethyl)furan, and methanofuran b, 3-{p-[(N-(-γ-L-glutamyl-γ-L-glutamyl-γ-L-glutamyl-γ-L- glutamyl)-β-amino)ethyl]phenoxymethyl}-5-(aminomethyl)furan, are the first cofactors involved in the conversion of carbon dioxide to methane by the methanogenic bacteria Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum and Methanosarcina barkeri, respectively. These two cofactors have now been synthesized, starting from glutamic acid, dimethyl glutarate, methyl 5-formyl-3-furoate, and tyramine. The synthetic compounds give the same NMR and mass spectra and biological activities as the natural cofactors.
Synthesis and Siderophore Activity of Albomycin-like Peptides Derived from N5-Acetyl-N5-hydroxy-L-ornithine
Dolence, E. Kurt,Lin, Chia-En,Miller, Marvin J.,Payne, Shelley M.
, p. 956 - 968 (2007/10/02)
N5-Acetyl-N5-hydroxy-L-ornithine (1), the key constituent of several microbial siderophores, has been synthesized in 23percent yield overall from N-Cbz-L-glutamic acid 1-tert-butyl ester (6) derived from L-glutamic acid.Reduction of 6 to 7 and treatment with N-(trichloroethoxy)carbonyl>-O-benzylhydroxylamine (8), and diethyl azodicarboxylate and triphenylphosphine followed by deprotection produced the protected N5-acetyl-N5-hydroxy-L-ornithine derivatives 11 and 12 in large quantities (10-20 g).Following α-amino and α-carboxyl deprotections of 11 and 12, EEDQ mediated peptide coupling and final deprotection provided amino acid 1 and six albomycin-like peptides (20, 23, 25, 28, 35, and 36).The growth-promoting ability of each was evaluated with the siderophore biosynthesis mutant Shigella flexneri SA240 (SA 100 iucD:Tn5).These results indicate that substantial modification of the framework of peptide-based siderophores can be tolerated by microbial iron-transport systems.

Reaction of α-t-butyl γ-methyl N-trityl-L-glutamate (7) with lithium isopropylcyclohexylamide in hexane leads to the specific formation of the γ-ester enolate, a potential synthetic equivalent to the γ-anion synthon for stereospecific α-amino acid synthesis.
