Gallinamide A, originally isolated with a modest antimalarial activity, was subsequently reisolated and characterized as a potent, selective, and irreversible inhibitor of the human cysteine protease cathepsin L. Molecular docking identified potential modifications to improve binding, which were synthesized as a suite of analogs. Resultingly, this current study produced the most potent gallinamide analog yet tested against cathepsin L (10, Ki = 0.0937 ± 0.01 nM and kinact/Ki = 8 730 000). From a protein structure and substrate preference perspective, cruzain, an essential Trypanosoma cruzi cysteine protease, is highly homologous. Our investigations revealed that gallinamide and its analogs potently inhibit cruzain and are exquisitely toxic toward T. cruzi in the intracellular amastigote stage. The most active compound, 5, had an IC50 = 5.1 ± 1.4 nM, but was relatively inactive to both the epimastigote (insect stage) and the host cell, and thus represents a new candidate for the treatment of Chagas disease.

HBTU is a standard coupling agent commonly used for the activation of free carboxylic acids during the solution and solid phase peptide synthesis. 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) plays a significant role in reducing the racemization during peptide synthesis

Nonribosomal E-vinylogous γ-amino acids are widely present in many peptide natural products and have been exploited as inhibitors for serine and cysteine proteases. Here, we are reporting the broad spectrum antimicrobial properties and self-assembled nanostructures of various hybrid lipopeptides composed of 1:1 alternating α- and E-vinylogous residues. Analysis of the results revealed that self-assembled nanostructures also play a significant role in the antimicrobial and hemolytic activities. In contrast to the α-peptide counterparts, vinylogous hybrid peptides displayed excellent antimicrobial properties against various bacterial and fungal strains. Peptides that adopted nanofiber structures displayed less hemolytic activity, while peptides that adopted nanoneedle structures displayed the highest hemolytic activity.

A new strategy for the synthesis of peptide aldehydes on solid support is presented. Reaction of a N-protected aminoaldehyde with caboethoxymethylene triphenylphosphorane yielded an α-β-unsaturated δ- amino derivative. After saponification, the resulting α-β-unsaturated δ- aminoacid was anchored to a solid support by an ester linkage (Merrifield resin) or by an amide linkage (MBHA, Expansin). After elongation of the peptide chain, ozonolysis yielded quite pure C-terminal peptide aldehydes in a good yield with no detectable racemization of the C-terminal residue.
