De novo drug discovery is still a challenge in the search for potent and selective modulators of therapeutically relevant target proteins. Here, we disclose the unexpected discovery of a peptidic ligand 1 by X-ray crystallography, which was auto-tailored by the therapeutic target MMP-13 through partial self-degradation and subsequent structure-based optimization to a highly potent and selective β-sheet peptidomimetic inhibitor derived from the endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). The incorporation of non-proteinogenic amino acids in combination with a cyclization strategy proved to be key for the de novo design of TIMP peptidomimetics. The optimized cyclic peptide 4 (ZHAWOC7726) is membrane permeable with an IC50 of 21 nm for MMP-13 and an attractive selectivity profile with respect to a polypharmacology approach including the anticancer targets MMP-2 (IC50: 170 nm) and MMP-9 (IC50: 140 nm).

A new type of novel chiral pyridoxamines 3a-g containing a side chain has been developed. The pyridoxamines displayed catalytic activity and promising enantioselectivity in biomimetic asymmetric transamination of α-keto acids, to give various α-amino acids in 47-90% yields with up to 87% ee's under very mild conditions. An interesting effect of the side chain on enantioselectivity was observed in the reaction.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A practical method has been developed for reduction of C-N double bond in oximes, imines, and hydrazones with sodium borohydride catalyzed by Raney Ni. The reactions were carried out in basic aqueous solution, and the desired products were obtained in moderate yields after a simple procedure. This method can be applied to synthesize simpler aliphatic or aromatic amines and its analogs. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
