Efficient enantioselective insertion of α-diazoesters into the N-H bond of N-sp2-hybridized benzophenone imine was realized by using Rh2(esp)2 and chiral guanidine cooperative catalysis. Both aliphatic and aromatic substituted α-amino esters were obtained in high yields (up to 99%) and good enantioselectivities (up to 95.54.5 er) under mild reaction conditions.

A highly regio- and diastereoselective reduction of various N-tert-butanesulfinyl ketimine esters with L-Selectride resulting in the formation of α-amino acids is reported. This method is quite general and also practical for the preparation of both enantiomers of aryl or aliphatic α-amino acids in high yields.

Cholangiocarcinoma is markedly resistant to chemotherapy and has a dismal prognosis, but its mechanism of drug resistance is unknown. This study examines whether glutathione S-transferase-π (GSTP1-1) is involved in resistance to anticancer drugs in cholangiocarcinoma and whether GSTP1-1-specific inhibitors can overcome this resistance. First, immunohistochemical examination disclosed strong staining of all our 17 cholangiocarcinoma specimens for GSTP1-1, irrespective of histological type. Transfection of the GSTP1-1 antisense expression vector into a human cholangiocarcinoma cell line (HuCCT1) apparently decreased its intracellular GSTP1-1 concentration, and the sensitivity of transfectants to adriamycin (ADR), cisplatin, and alkylating agents such as melphalan and 4-hydroxyperoxycyclophosphamide (4-HC) was increased significantly, compared with that of mock transfectants. We next synthesized GSTP1-1-specific inhibitors by elongating the carbon chain of the ethylester at the N-terminal of γ-glutamyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-phenylglycyl diethylester and performed a pharmacokinetic study on them. Of six GSTP1-1 inhibitors tested, O1-hexadecyl-γ-glutamyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-D-phenylglycine ethylester (C16C2) showed the smallest volume of central compartment and smallest volume of distribution at steady state and the second smallest clearance, being the most effective inhibitor in vivo. The IC50 value of ADR or 4-HC for HuCCT1 cells decreased greater by treatment with C16C2 in a dose-dependent manner, paralleling the decrease in GSTP1-1 activity, than that of ADR or 4-HC alone. The antitumor activity of ADR or cyclophosphamide was clearly enhanced by combination therapy with C16C2 in a xenograft model. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that GSTP1-1 is a resistance factor for anticancer drugs in cholangiocarcinoma and that C16C2, a GSTP1-1-specific inhibitor, is a potent agent against the resistance.
