Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-OH (fMLP) binds to formyl peptide receptors, FPR1 and FPR2, and evokes migration and superoxide anion production in human neutrophils. To obtain a more effective and selective ligand, fMLP analogs in which the Phe residue was substitute
Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of nitrocyclopropane carboxylates
Moreau, Benoit,Alberico, Dino,Lindsay, Vincent N.G.,Charette, Andre B.
experimental part, p. 3487 - 3496 (2012/06/04)
A Cu(I)-catalyzed asymmetric cyclopropanation of alkenes with an iodonium ylide has been developed. The copper source, hypervalent iodine source, solvent, and additives all have a significant effect on the yields and enantioselectivities. High enantioselectivity (up to 99:1 er) and diastereoselectivity (95:5 dr trans/cis) were achieved for a wide range of alkenes. Conditions were developed to convert the trans products to the cis isomers. In addition, 1-nitrocyclopropyl carboxylates were transformed into the corresponding substituted cyclopropane amino acids and aminocyclopropanes. Moreover, a comparative study between Zn- and In-mediated reduction reactions of the nitro group in these compounds with regards to the er erosion in the process is also documented.

scheme or table, p. 5392 - 5396 (2010/05/02)
A series of dipeptide nitriles with a thienyl alanine in P2 were identified as potent and selective cathepsin C inhibitors. Incorporation of a substituted cyclopropyl moiety in P1 effectively protects these derivatives against hydrolase activity in whole blood.

Expedient synthesis of cyclopropane α-amino acids by the catalytic asymmetric cyclopropanation of alkenes using iodonium ylides derived from methyl nitroacetate
Moreau, Benoit,Charette, Andre B.
, p. 18014 - 18015 (2007/10/03)
A highly enantioselective (up to 97.5% ee) and diastereoselective (95:5 dr trans/cis) Cu(I)-catalyzed cyclopropanation of alkenes using phenyliodonium ylide generated in situ from iodosobenzene and methyl nitroacetate is reported. The cyclopropanation took place with high enantioselectivity for a wide range of alkenes, and the reaction was performed at room temperature. 1-Nitrocyclopropyl esters are versatile building blocks to access the corresponding cyclopropane amino esters and aminocyclopropanes in two and three steps, respectively, from commercially available products.

An Expedient and Practical Method for the Synthesis of A Diverse Series of Cyclopropane α-Amino Acids and Amines
Wurz, Ryan P.,Charette, Andre B.
, p. 1262 - 1269 (2007/10/03)
A practical synthesis for the preparation of a diverse series of cyclopropane α-amino acids is described. Nitrocyclopropane carboxylates can be readily prepared through treatment of α-nitroesters and iodobenzene diacetate or α-nitro-α-diazoesters with a R
β-turn preferences induced by 2,3-methanophenylalanine chirality
Jiménez,Cativiela,Aubry,Marraud
, p. 9452 - 9459 (2007/10/03)
The model dipeptides RCO-L-Pro-c3-Phe-NHMe, where c3Phe stands for each of the four cyclopropane analogues of phenylalanine (2,3- methanophenylalanine), have been studied in solution by using 1H NMR and FT- IR spectroscopy and in the solid state by using X-ray diffraction. The conformational behavior of these compounds has been compared to that of the analogous Ac3c and L- or D-Phe-containing dipeptides. When associated to proline, the cyclopropane residues in the so-called i + 2 position exhibit a marked tendency to β-folding in solution, even in DMSO. The type II β-turn is generally favored, but the βI/βII-turn ratio depends both on the experimental conditions (solvent, solution, or solid state) and on the chirality of the c3Phe moeity, which rigidly fixes the orientation of the phenyl ring with respect to the peptide backbone. The (2S,3S)c3Phe residue, analogous to L-Phe with the χ1 angle constrained to about 0°, is the most propitious to βI-folding in the i + 2 position of a putative β-turn.

The rhodium N-(arylsulfonyl)prolinate catalyzed decomposition of vinyldiazomethanes in the presence of alkenes leads to a very general method for the synthesis of functionalized cyclopropanes in a highly diastereoselective and enantioselective mode. A det
Preparation of dipeptoid mimetics for the tetrapeptide cholecystokinin, CCK(30-33)
Walford,Campbell,Horwell
, p. 188 - 191 (2007/10/03)
The diastereoselective synthesis of 2,3-methanophenylalanine methyl esters (5) has been achieved in 58% yield. The preparation of the dehydropeptides (1, R = Me; 2, R = H) and the cyclopropylpeptides (3, R = Me; 4, R = H) possessing good binding affinities for the CCK-A and CCK-B receptors is described. Conformational studies of the dipeptide esters 1 and 3 indicated the presence of a β-turn within the peptide backbone, although there was no preference in type. The Phe and Trp moieties, however, did prefer to be situated on the same side of the peptide turn which is favourable for receptor binding.
