Thirty-six novel threoninamide carbamate derivatives were designed and synthesised using active fragment-based pharmacophore model. Antifungal activities of these compounds were tested against Oomycete fungi Phytophthora capsici in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, compound I-1, I-2, I-3, I-6 and I-7 exhibited moderate control effect (>50%) against Pseudoperonospora cubensis in greenhouse at 6.25 μg/mL, which is better than that of control. Meanwhile most of these compounds exhibited significant inhibitory against P. capsici. The other nine fungi were also tested. More importantly, some compounds exhibited remarkably high activities against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, P. piricola and R. solan in vitro with EC50 values of 3.74–9.76 μg/mL. It is possible that the model is reliabile and this method can be used to discover lead compounds for the development of fungicides.

The “smart” amine donors o-xylylenediamine and cadaverine were employed for the rapid screening of a large ketone library and subsequent preparative-scale synthesis of selected compounds using a commercially available amine transaminase, ATA256. The methodology enables both screening and preparative-scale biotransformations to be performed with a single enzyme and simplifies the generation of sp3-rich small-molecule libraries.

Even today, the role of the histamine H2 receptor (H2R) in the central nervous system (CNS) is widely unknown. In previous research, many dimeric, high-affinity and subtype-selective carbamoylguanidine-type ligands such as UR-NK22 (5, pKi = 8.07) were reported as H2R agonists. However, their applicability to the study of the H2R in the CNS is compromised by their molecular and pharmacokinetic properties, such as high molecular weight and, consequently, a limited bioavailability. To address the need for more drug-like H2R agonists with high affinity, we synthesized a series of monomeric (thio)carbamoylguanidine-type ligands containing various spacers and side-chain moieties. This structural simplification resulted in potent (partial) agonists (guinea pig right atrium, [35S]GTPγS and β-arrestin2 recruitment assays) with human (h) H2R affinities in the one-digit nanomolar range (pKi (139, UR-KAT523): 8.35; pKi (157, UR-MB-69): 8.69). Most of the compounds presented here exhibited an excellent selectivity profile towards the hH2R, e.g. 157 being at least 3800-fold selective within the histamine receptor family. The structural similarities of our monomeric ligands to pramipexole (6), a dopamine receptor agonist, suggested an investigation of the binding behavior at those receptors. The target compounds were (partial) agonists with moderate affinity at the hD2longR and agonists with high affinity at the hD3R (e.g. pKi (139, UR-KAT523): 7.80; pKi (157, UR-MB-69): 8.06). In summary, we developed a series of novel, more drug-like H2R and D3R agonists for the application in recombinant systems in which either the H2R or the D3R is solely expressed. Furthermore, our ligands are promising lead compounds in the development of selective H2R agonists for future in vivo studies or experiments utilizing primary tissue to unravel the role and function of the H2R in the CNS.

The combination of biocatalysis and chemocatalysis can be more powerful than either technique alone. However, combining the two is challenging due to typically very different reaction conditions. Herein, chiral N-aryl amines, key features of many active pharmaceutical ingredients, are accessed in excellent enantioselectivity (typically>99.5 % ee) by combining transaminases with the Buchwald-Hartwig amination. By employing a bi-phasic buffer-toluene system as well as the ligand GPhos, the telescoped cascade proceeded with up to 89 % overall conversion in the presence of excess alanine. No coupling to alanine was observed.

The Rh(III)-catalyzed coupling of N-chloroimines with alkynes for the efficient synthesis of isoquinolines is reported. This represents the first use of the N-Cl bond of N-chloroimines as an internal oxidant for construction of the isoquinoline skeleton. The synthesis features atom and step economy, a green solvent (EtOH), mild reaction conditions, and a broad substrate scope.

Amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) catalyse the conversion of ketones into enantiomerically pure amines at the sole expense of ammonia and hydride source. Guided by structural information from computational models, we create AmDHs that can convert pharmaceutically relevant aromatic ketones with conversions up to quantitative and perfect chemical and optical purities. These AmDHs are created from an unconventional enzyme scaffold that apparently does not operate any asymmetric transformation in its natural reaction. Additionally, the best variant (LE-AmDH-v1) displays a unique substrate-dependent switch of enantioselectivity, affording S- or R-configured amine products with up to >99.9% enantiomeric excess. These findings are explained by in silico studies. LE-AmDH-v1 is highly thermostable (Tm of 69 °C), retains almost entirely its catalytic activity upon incubation up to 50 °C for several days, and operates preferentially at 50 °C and pH 9.0. This study also demonstrates that product inhibition can be a critical factor in AmDH-catalysed reductive amination.
A Comprehensive Quantitative Assay for Amine Transaminases

The development of effective high-throughput screening assays has contributed greatly to the wealth of designer enzymes available, by enabling rapid identification of desired variants from large mutant libraries. Here, we report a general and operationally simple end-point assay for transaminases that enables the screening of both amine donors and acceptors in liquid phase. The spectrophotometric-based screen exploits the amine donor 2-aminoethylaniline (2-AEA) and relies on reaction of in situ generated indole with Ehrlich's reagent. The assay has also been adapted to allow screening in the reverse direction by addition of indole and subsequent spectrophotometric analysis. Importantly, the screen provides qualitative information on the enantio-preference of the individual biocatalysts. To increase the assay throughput, an engineered expression strain (E. coli BL21(DE3) ΔtnaA) lacking tryptophanase activity, was generated to enable reliable and direct evaluation of individual colonies arrayed on agar plates.

C-C bond formation by transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation has become an important strategy to fabricate new bonds in a rapid fashion. Despite the pharmacological importance of ortho-arylbenzylamines, however, effective ortho-C-C bond formation of free primary and secondary benzylamines using PdII remains an outstanding challenge. Presented herein is a new strategy for constructing ortho-arylated primary and secondary benzylamines mediated by carbon dioxide (CO2). The use of CO2 with Pd is critical to allowing this transformation to proceed under relatively mild conditions, and mechanistic studies indicate that it (CO2) is directly involved in the rate-determining step. Furthermore, the milder temperatures furnish free amine products that can be directly used or elaborated without the need for deprotection. In cases where diarylation is possible, an interesting chelate effect is shown to facilitate selective monoarylation.

A library of 132 racemic chiral amines (α-substituted methylbenzylamines, benzhydrylamines, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthylamines (THNs), indanylamines, allylic and homoallylic amines, propargyl amines) was screened against the most versatile monoamine oxidase (MAO-N) variants D5, D9 and D11. MAO-N D9 exhibited the highest activity for most substrates and was applied to the deracemisation of a comprehensive set of selected primary amines. In all cases, excellent enantioselectivity was achieved (e.e. >99%) with moderate to good yields (55–80%). Conditions for the deracemisation of primary amines using a MAO-N/borane system were further optimised using THN as a template addressing substrate load, nature of the enzyme preparation, buffer systems, borane sources, and organic co-solvents.

A ruthenium/C3-TunePhos catalytic system has been identified for highly efficient direct reductive amination of simple ketones. The strategy makes use of ammonium acetate as the amine source and H2 as the reductant and is a user-friendly and operatively simple access to industrially relevant primary amines. Excellent enantiocontrol (>90% ee for most cases) was achieved with a wide range of alkyl aryl ketones. The practicability of this methodology has been highlighted by scalable synthesis of key intermediates of three drug molecules. Moreover, an improved synthetic route to the optimal diphosphine ligand C3-TunePhos is also presented.
