Glycyrrhizic acid (GA) conjugates with methyl and ethyl esters of D-amino acids (D-Trp, D-Phe, D-Tyr, D-Val, D-Leu) have been synthesized by the activated esters method using mixtures of N-hydroxybenzotriazole or N-hydroxysuccinimide with N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. GA conjugate with D-Trp ethyl ester exhibited antiviral activity against influenza viruses A/H3N2, A/H1N1/pdm09, A/H5N1, B (SI > 10–29), and HRSV (SI > 25). GA conjugate with D-Trp methyl ester inhibited influenza virus A/H1N1/pdm09 (SI > 30).

A new method was studied for optical resolution of racemic amino acids esters by using, as resolving agents, N-protected L-α-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine alkyl esters, typically, N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-α-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester, the precursor to the synthetic sweetener aspartame.Thus, when the dipeptide and racemic amino acid ester were mixed in solvents, precipitation took place by formation of salt preferentially with D-amino acid ester to effect the optical resolution.

Elaborate fragments of the proposed stereostructure of the complex polyketide antibiotic vancoresmycin have been synthesized in a stereoselective fashion based on a modular and convergent approach. Significant nuclear magnetic resonance differences in one of these subunits compared with the natural product question the proposed stereoconfiguration. Consequently, an extensive bioinformatics analysis of the biosynthetic gene cluster was carried out, leading to a revised stereoconfigurational proposal for this highly potent antibiotic.

Stimuli-responsive low molecular weight hydrogelators attract immense interest from diverse segments of biomedicine and biotechnology. Distinctly, herein we report newly synthesized enantiomeric ultrashort peptides of general formula Me-(CH2)8-CO-NH-CH(X)-COOH, where X = CH2Ph in hydrogelators I (l-Phe) and II (d-Phe) respectively, which display excellent self-assembling propensity in physiological buffer at room temperature. Interestingly these biomolecules were endowed with mechanoresponsiveness, injectability and high mechanical integrity as confirmed by rheological measurements. Importantly they revealed resistance towards proteolytic degradation. Indeed dose dependent cell viability studies using MTT assay in four different cell lines, namely PANC-1, S1, HCT-116 and MDAMB-231, further confirmed the biocompatibility of the hydrogelators in vitro. The structural aspect of β-sheets of the hydrogelators was concluded on the basis of temperature dependent NMR, IR, PXRD and computational studies. We developed a user friendly delivery system, hydrogel nanoparticles (HNPs), with our mechanoresponsive and biocompatible hydrogelators, as these particles exhibited promising influence due to their enhanced surface area. Also the HNPs revealed excellent drug release kinetics for the model drugs 5FU/doxorubicin under physiological conditions in a sustained manner depending on the physicochemical parameters of the drugs. Taking these results together we envision that our designed hydrogelators and the delivery vehicle generated therefrom might represent a promising tool for administration of significant drug concentrations at lesion sites for a prolonged period, thus providing a better strategy for quick pain relief, rapid recovery and reduced systemic side effects.
Rhodium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of Oxazinones via an Asymmetric Ring Opening-Lactonization Cascade of Oxabicyclic Alkenes

The rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric ring opening reaction of oxabicyclic alkenes is shown to be an efficient method for synthesizing chiral heterocycles. We demonstrate that the pairwise combination of chiral catalyst with chiral amino-acid-derived pronucleophiles results in a stereodivergent synthesis of diastereomeric hydroxyesters. A favorable conformational preference induces the subsequent lactonization of one diastereomer leading to the highly enantioselective synthesis of oxazinones.
