Macrocyclic peptides containing N-alkylated amino acids have emerged as a promising therapeutic modality, capable of modulating protein-protein interactions and an intracellular delivery of hydrophilic payloads. While multichannel automated solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is a practical approach for peptide synthesis, the requirement for slow and inefficient chromatographic purification of the product peptides is a significant limitation to exploring these novel compounds. Herein, we invent a "catch-release" strategy for the nonchromatographic purification of macrocyclic peptides. A traceless catch process is enabled by the invention of a dual-functionalized N-terminal acetate analogue, which serves as a handle for capture onto a purification resin and as a leaving group for macrocyclization. Displacement by a C-terminal nucleophilic side chain thus releases the desired macrocycle from the purification resin. By design, this catch/release process is a logic test for the presence of the key components required for cyclization, thus removing impurities which lack the required functionality, such as common classes of peptide impurities, including hydrolysis fragments and truncated sequences. The method was shown to be highly effective with three libraries of macrocyclic peptides, containing macrocycles of 5-20 amino acids, with either thioether- or amine-based macrocyclic linkages; in this latter class, the reported method represents an enabling technology. In all cases, the catch-release protocol afforded significant enrichment of the target peptides purity, in many cases completely obviating the need for chromatography. Importantly, we have adapted this process for automation on a standard multichannel peptide synthesizer, achieving an efficient and completely integrated synthesis and purification platform for the preparation of these important molecules.

The fastest and most effective way to control pests is to use pesticides. However, with the accumulation of pesticide resistance and the difficulties of rapidly producing new pesticides, it is of great significance to create new pesticides through new synthetic methods. In this study, we report a computer-aided drug design (CADD)-assisted method to obtain two lead sulfonamides by homology modeling and virtual screening. On this basis, the lead compounds were synthesized from p-chlorocresol by four steps of esterification, sulfonation, sulfonamidation, and amidation. Further, 71 derivatives were synthesized by optimizing the lead compounds, and their insecticidal activities against Mythimna separata were evaluated by the leaf-dipping method. Notably, seven sulfonamides (5a, 5g, 5h, 5m, 6b, 6g, and 6m) with excellent insecticidal activity were obtained, and the possible binding modes between receptors and active groups in sulfonamides were verified by structure-activity relationship and docking simulation, which provided theoretical support for the subsequent development of these novel candidate insecticides.

Agents that safely induce, enhance, or sustain multiple innate immune signaling pathways could be developed as potent vaccine adjuvants or coadjuvants. Using high-throughput screens with cell-based nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and interferon stimulating response element (ISRE) reporter assays, we identified a bis-aryl sulfonamide bearing compound 1 that demonstrated sustained NF-κB and ISRE activation after a primary stimulus with lipopolysaccharide or interferon-α, respectively. Here, we present systematic structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies on the two phenyl rings and amide nitrogen of the sulfonamide group of compound 1 focused toward identification of affinity probes. The murine vaccination studies showed that compounds 1 and 33 when used as coadjuvants with monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) showed significant enhancement in antigen ovalbumin-specific immunoglobulin responses compared to MPLA alone. SAR studies pointed to the sites on the scaffold that can tolerate the introduction of aryl azide, biotin, and fluorescent rhodamine substituents to obtain several affinity and photoaffinity probes which will be utilized in concert for future target identification and mechanism of action studies.

Two lead compounds with benzenesulfonamide were found through virtual screening based on the 3D structure of the subunit H of V-ATPase in previous study. 74 benzenesulfonyl derivatives were synthesized and their insecticidal activities were evaluated. The derivatives with propargyl substituents exhibit excellent insecticidal activities against Mythimna separata Walker. The LD50 values of compounds A5.7 (28.0 μg·g?1) and B5.7 (36.4 μg·g?1) were significantly less than that of Celangulin V (344.0 μg·g?1). Furthermore, Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) data indicate there is a strong binding affinity between A5.7 and V-ATPase Subunit H. These results demonstrate that it is a practical way to develop pesticides targeting at H subunit of V-ATPase.
