(Chemical Equation Presented) External bicyclic β-turn dipeptide mimetics provide an excellent design approach that can offer a rich chiral ensemble of structures with different backbone conformations. We report herein a novel design of a convergent combinatorial synthetic methodology, which is illustrated by the solid-phase synthesis of a series of [3.3.0]-bicyclo [2,3]-Leu-enkephalin analogues. The reactions were optimized and the epimeric configurations were determined by 2D NMR spectroscopy. Biological assays show that these analogues have more potent δ binding affinity and bioactivity for δ vs μ opioid receptor, which may be related to the different conformations preferred by these analogues in our modeling studies.

Previous studies showed that the FeII/α-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase AsqJ induces a skeletal rearrangement in viridicatin biosynthesis in Aspergillus nidulans, generating a quinolone scaffold from benzo[1,4]diazepine-2,5-dione substrates. We report that AsqJ catalyzes an additional, entirely different reaction, simply by a change in substituent in the benzodiazepinedione substrate. This new mechanism is established by substrate screening, application of functional probes, and computational analysis. AsqJ excises H2CO from the heterocyclic ring structure of suitable benzo[1,4]diazepine-2,5-dione substrates to generate quinazolinones. This novel AsqJ catalysis pathway is governed by a single substituent within the complex substrate. This unique substrate-directed reactivity of AsqJ enables the targeted biocatalytic generation of either quinolones or quinazolinones, two alkaloid frameworks of exceptional biomedical relevance.

A unified step-economical strategy for accessing histone deacetylase inhibitory peptides is proposed, based on the late-stage installation of multiple zinc-binding functionalities via the cleavage of the strained cyclopropane ring in the common pluripoten
