The human T cell leukemia/lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-I) is clinically associated with adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma, HTLV-I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis, and a number of other chronic inflammatory diseases. To stop the replication of the virus, we developed highly potent tetrapeptidic HTLV-I protease inhibitors. In a recent X-ray crystallography study, several of our inhibitors could not form co-crystal complexes with the protease due to their high hydrophobicity. In the current study, we designed, synthesized and evaluated the HTLV-I protease inhibition potency of compounds with hydrophilic end-capping moieties with the aim of improving pharmaceutic and pharmacokinetic properties.

Scalable syntheses of (2S,3S)-3-N-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoic acid (BocAHPBA) 1 and (R)-3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (BocDMTA) 2 have been developed. Both 1 and 2 can serve as chiral building blocks in assembling JE-2147 (KNI-764) 3, a potent HIV protease inhibitor. The synthesis of (2S,3S)-BocAHPBA 1 is achieved in 41% overall yield from (S)-2-N,N-dibenzylamino-3-phenylpropanal 4 in five steps where Tamao's reagent [Me2(i-PrO)SiCH2MgCl] is employed for a one-carbon homologation, and Zhao's oxidation protocol (TEMPO, NaClO2, NaClO) is applied to convert a 1,2-glycol moiety into an α-hydroxy acid motif. (R)-BocDMTA 2 is synthesized with 99.4% ee in 24% yield via enantioselective hydrolysis of methyl (±)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate 8b by a Klebsiella oxytoca hydrolase; the unreacted (S)-ester 8b can be recovered and racemized with NaOMe to afford (±)-8b in 46% yield for another round of the enzymatic processing.
Potent Angiotensin II Antagonists with Non-β-branched Aminoacids in Position 5

Amino acids with lipophilic side chains that contain more than one functional group on the β-carbon, i.e. a β-branched hydrocarbon moiety, are required in position 5 of angiotensin II (AII) analogue with potent agonist activity.This requirement for agonis
