Epimerization-Free C-Term Activation of Peptide Fragments by Ball Milling
Yeboue, Yves,Jean, Marion,Subra, Gilles,Martinez, Jean,Lamaty, Frédéric,Métro, Thomas-Xavier
, p. 631 - 635 (2021/01/26)
Peptides were produced in high yields and, if any, very low epimerization, by mechanochemical coupling of peptide fragments containing highly epimerization-prone and/or highly hindered amino acids at C-term. Ball milling was clearly identified as the key element enabling one to obtain such results.
A catalytic one-step synthesis of peptide thioacids: the synthesis of leuprorelin via iterative peptide-fragment coupling reactions
Matsumoto, Takuya,Sasamoto, Koki,Hirano, Ryo,Oisaki, Kounosuke,Kanai, Motomu
supporting information, p. 12222 - 12225 (2018/12/01)
A catalytic one-step synthesis of peptide thioacids was developed. The oxygen-sulfur atom exchange reaction converted the carboxy group at the C-terminus of the peptides into a thiocarboxy group with suppressed epimerization. This method was successfully applied to the synthesis of the peptide drug leuprorelin via an iterative fragment-coupling protocol.

Dipeptides and amides were obtained in high yields from N-carbobenzyloxy α-amino acids and 3-phenylpropanoic acid with unprotected α-amino acids via the corresponding mixed carbonic carboxylic anhydrides using ethyl chloroformate and triethylamine by an ecological and convenient method in which the protection of C-terminals is not needed.

Two groups of novel hydroxypyridinone derivatives 6(a-e) and 12(a-c), were designed as potential tyrosinase inhibitors, and synthesized using kojic acid as a starting material. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of these two groups was demonstrated to be potent, especially compounds 6e and 12a, whose IC50 values for monophenolase activity were 1.95 μM and 2.79 μM, respectively. Both of these values are lower than that of kojic acid (IC50 = 12.50 μM). Compounds 6e and 12a were investigated for the inhibitory effect on diphenolase activity. The results showed that the inhibitory mechanism of these two compounds was reversible and that the inhibitory type was a competitive-uncompetitive mixed-type. The values of IC50 of 6e and 12a on the diphenolase activity of tyrosinase were determined to be 8.97 μM and 26.20 μM, respectively. The inhibitory constants (KI and KIS) of 6e were determined as 17.17 μM and 22.09 μM, respectively; and the KI and KIS values of 12a were 34.41 μM and 79.02 μM, respectively. Compound 6e showed a greater ability to reduce copper and a stronger copper chelating ability than kojic acid.

Condensation of carboxylic acids 1 and 5 with unprotected α-amino acids 2 via activation by ethyl chloroformate and triethylamine proceeded effectively to afford the corresponding amides in 5099% yields. Tripeptide 7c was obtained in 42% yield from the dipeptide 6c in a similar manner.

, p. 2645 - 2652 (2007/10/03)
Coupling an unprotected amino acid or dipeptide in partially aqueous solution with a readily available N-(Z-α-amino-acyl)benzotriazole or N-(Z-α-aminopetidoyl)benzotriazole affords N-terminal-protected di-, tri-, and tetrapeptides in yields of 85-98% (average 95% for 2a-i, 93% for 4a-f and 4a′, 86% for 5a-b) with minimal epimerization.
In the search for new anticancer drugs. XXIV: Synthesis and anticancer activity of amino acids and dipeptides containing the 2-chloroethyl- and [N'- (2-chloroethyl)-N'-nitroso]-aminocarbonyl groups
Sosnovsky,Prakash,Rao
, p. 1 - 10 (2007/10/02)
A series of L,L-(42, 44, 46, and 60) and D,D-(43, 45, 47, and 61) dipeptide derivatives composed of phenylglycine, phenylalanine, homophenylalanine, and valine and containing a 2-chloroethylamino group at the C-terminus and an N'-(2-chloroethyl)-N'-nitrosoaminocarbonyl group at the N-terminus of the dipeptides were prepared. The dipeptide derivatives (42- 47, 60, and 61) were first evaluated in vivo for their anticancer activities against the murine lymphocytic leukemia P388. Compounds 42, 44, 46, and 60 possessed activities ranging from 46 to 111 percent increase in life span (%ILS), whereas 43 was marginal (%ILS = 31) and 45, 47, and 61 were inactive. In general, the L,L-series exhibited low to good activity (%ILS = 46-111), whereas the corresponding D,D-series, except for 43 (%ILS = 31), was devoid of activity. The analogously structured monoamino acid derivatives of L- alanine (74), L-phenylalanine (75), and L-aspartic acid (76) exhibited higher activity against P388 than the dipeptide derivatives (i.e., 481, 297, and 481 %ILS, respectively). The more active representatives of dipeptides (i.e., 42, 44, and 60) and the amino acids derivatives 74-76 were then tested in vivo against the murine lymphoid leukemia L1210. Compounds 42, 44, and 60 exhibited either low or marginal activity (i.e., the %ILS values were 46, 31, and 26, respectively). Compounds 74, 75, and 76 possessed low to moderate activity, as evidenced by the %ILS values of 56, 48, and 64, respectively. The %ILS parameters obtained against the P388 and L1210 tumor lines were correlated with the corresponding lipophilicities, and there is a trend towards higher activity with concomitant decrease in hydrophobicity.

Electrostatic interaction between the amino group of the achiral 3-dimethylaminopropylidenebismethylenebis(diphenylphosphine) (1) and the carboxy group of the substrate enable an effective 1,4-asymmetric induction in the RhI-catalysed hydrogenation of didehydrodipeptides, to give (S,S)-or (R,R)-products selectively.The selectivity reached up to 94percent diastereoisomeric excess with acetyl didehydrodipeptides and 92percent with benzyloxycarbonyl substrates.
