Artificial ribonucleases 6. Ribonuclease activity of tetrapeptides based on amino acids involved in the catalytic site of RNase T1

Tetrapeptides based on amino acids involved in the catalytic site of RNase T1 were synthesized. These peptides interact with a 96-mer fragment of HIV-1 RNA, which results in phosphodiester bonds splitting. The efficacy of RNA cleavage depends on the mutua

Novel tetrapeptide, RGDF, mediated tumor specific liposomal doxorubicin (DOX) preparations

Arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) has been shown to possess a strong affinity for the integrins overexpressed in tumor cells, especially during tumor invasion, angiogenesis and metasis. Based on work from others, a novel tetrapeptide, arginine-glycine-aspa

Protic acid immobilized on solid support as an extremely efficient recyclable catalyst system for a direct and atom economical esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols

(Chemical Equation Presented) A convenient and clean procedure of esterification is reported by direct condensation of equimolar amounts of carboxylic acids with alcohols catalyzed by an easy to prepare catalyst system of perchloric acid immobilized on silica gel (HClO4-SiO2). The direct condensation of aryl, heteroaryl, styryl, aryl alkyl, alkyl, cycloalkyl, and long-chain aliphatic carboxylic acids with primary/secondary alkyl/cycloalkyl, allyl, propargyl, and long-chain aliphatic alcohols has been achieved to afford the corresponding esters in excellent yields. Chiral alcohol and N-t-Boc protected chiral amino acid also resulted in ester formation with the representative carboxylic acid or alcohol without competitive N-t-Boc deprotection and detrimental effect on the optical purity of the product demonstrating the mildness and chemoselectivity of the procedure. The esters of long-chain (>C10) acids and alcohols are obtained in high yields. The catalyst is recovered and recycled without significant loss of activity. The industrial application of the esterification process is demonstrated by the synthesis of prodrugs of ibuprofen and a few commercial flavoring agents. Other protic acids such as H2SO4, HBr, TfOH, HBF4, and TFA that were adsorbed on silica gel were less effective compared to HClO4-SiO2 following the order HClO4-SiO 2 ? H2SO4-SiO2 > HBr-SiO 2 > TfOH-SiO2 ? HBF4-SiO2 ≈ TFA-SiO2. When HClO4 was immobilized on other solid supports the catalytic efficiency followed the order HClO4-SiO 2 > HClO4-K10 > HClO4-Al 2O3 (neutral) > HClO4-Al2O 3 (acidic) > HClO4-Al2O3 (basic).

Widely useful DMAP-catalyzed esterification under auxiliary base- and solvent-free conditions

With regard to atom economy and E-factor, catalytic condensation of carboxylic acids with equimolar amounts of alcohols is the most desirable. Although several highly active dehydration catalysts have been reported, more efficient alternatives are still strongly needed because the dehydrative esterification of tertiary alcohols, phenols, acid-sensitive alcohols, amino acids, and hardly soluble alcohols has never proceeded satisfactorily. Here we report new insights into the classical DMAP-catalyzed acylation of alcohols: surprisingly, only a 0.05-2 mol % of DMAP can efficiently promote acylation of alcohols with acid anhydrides under auxiliary base- and solvent-free conditions to give the corresponding esters in high yields. Furthermore, we achieved the recovery and reuse of commercially available polystyrene-supported DMAP without using any solvents. These serendipitous findings provide widely useful and environmentally benign esterification methods, which might be more practical and reliable than catalytic dehydrative condensation methods, in particular, for the less reactive alcohols which hardly condense with carboxylic acid directly.
