Direct asymmetric intermolecular aldol reactions catalyzed by amino acids and small peptides

In nature there are at least nineteen different acyclic amino acids that act as the building blocks of poly-peptides and proteins with different functions. Here we report that α-amino acids, β-amino acids, and chiral amines containing primary amine functions catalyze direct asymmetric intermolecular aldol reactions with high enantio-selectivities. Moreover, the amino acids can be combined into highly modular natural and unusual small peptides that also catalyze direct asymmetric intermolecular aldol reactions with high stereoselectivities, to furnish the corre sponding aldol products with up to > 99% ee. Simple amino acids and small peptides can thus catalyze asymmetric aldol reactions with stereoselectivities matching those of natural enzymes that have evolved over billions of years. A small amount of water accelerates the asymmetric aldol reactions catalyzed by amino acids and small peptides, and also increases their stereoselectivities. Notably, small peptides and amino acid tetrazoles were able to catalyze direct asymmetric aldol reactions with high enantioselectivities in water, while the parent amino acids, in stark contrast, furnished nearly racemic products. These results suggest that the prebiotic oligomerization of amino acids to peptides may plausibly have been a link in the evolution of the homochirality of sugars. The mechanism and stereochemistry of the reactions are also discussed.

Coupling-Reagent-Free Synthesis of Dipeptides and Tripeptides Using Amino Acid Ionic Liquids

A general method for the synthesis of dipeptides has been developed, which does not require any coupling reagents. This method is based on the reaction of readily available HCl salts of amino acid methyl esters with tetrabutylphosphonium amino acid ionic liquids. The isolation procedure of stepwise treatment with AcOH is easy to carry out. The method was extended to the synthesis of tripeptide, tyrosyl-glycyl-glycine, present in IMREG-1, also.

Synthesis and NMR elucidation of pentacycloundecane-derived hydroxy acid peptides as potential anti-HIV-1 agents

The synthesis and NMR elucidation of eight novel peptides incorporating the pentacycloundecane (PCU)-derived hydroxy acid are reported. The PCU cage amino acids were synthesized as racemates and the incorporation of the PCU-derived hydroxy acid with natural (S)-amino acids produced inseparable diastereomeric peptides. A series of overlapping signals from the cage and that of the peptide side chain was observed in the 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra, complicating the elucidation thereof. Two-dimensional NMR techniques proved to be a very useful tool in overcoming these difficulties. These compounds are potential HIV protease inhibitors.

Pentacycloundecane derived hydroxy acid peptides: A new class of irreversible non-scissile ether bridged type isoster as potential HIV-1 wild type C-SA protease inhibitors

Novel peptides incorporating the PCU derived hydroxy acid (5-hydroxy-4-oxahexacyclo[5.4.1.02,6.03,10.0 5,9.08,11]dodecane) were synthesized and their activity against the resistance-prone wild type C-South African (C-SA) HIV-protease is reported. The attachment of peptides and peptoids to the PCU derived hydroxy acid resulted in a series of structurally diverse promising HIV-1 protease inhibitors. Amongst the nine novel compounds, 16, 17, 20 and 23 gave IC 50 values ranging from 0.6 to 5.0 μM against the wild type C-SA HIV-1 protease enzyme. Docking studies and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations have been carried out in order to understand the binding mode of the PCU moiety at the active site of the HIV protease enzyme. A conserved hydrogen bonding pattern between the PCU derived hydroxy ether and the active site residues, ASP25/ASP25′, was observed in all active compounds.

The small peptide-catalyzed direct asymmetric aldol reaction in water

The asymmetric aldol reaction is a powerful method for forming carbon-carbon bonds. Small peptides with a primary amine as the catalytic residue catalyze asymmetric aqueous aldol reactions between unmodified ketones and aldehydes to furnish the corresponding aldol products with high ees. The high momodularity of the small peptides should enable the construction of several novel catalysts by combinatorial techniques for the aqueous asymmetric aldol reaction. The remarkably high difference in stereoselectivity between the peptide bond-formation was an important step towards the evaluation of asymmetric catalysis and homochilarity.

Small peptides as modular catalysts for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction: Ancient peptides with aldolase enzyme activity

Simple peptides and their analogues having a primary amino group as the catalytic residue mediate the direct asymmetric intermolecular aldol reaction with high stereoselectivity and furnish the corresponding aldol products with up to 99% ee; this intrinsic ability of highly modular peptides may explain the initial molecular evolution of aldolase enzymes.

The Steric Hindrance of the Stepwise Reaction of N-Carboxy α-Amino Acid Anhydride with the α-Amino Acid Ester

The mechanisms of the reactions of 4-alkyloxazolidinediones (1) (N-carboxy α-amino acid anhydrides(NCAs)) with α-amino acid benzyl ester p-toluenesulfonates (2) were investigated in acetonitrile containing triethylamine at low and room temperatures.Two types of reactions were observed: (1) the polymerization of NCAs was initiated with a small amount of 2 to produce polypeptides (6), and (2) the dipeptide benzyl esters (4) were produced by the stepwise reaction of NCAs with the esters.Both the polymerization and the dipeptide formation (1+2) seemed to be initiated by the nucleophilic attack of the amino group of the ester on the C-5 carbon of NCAs.The polymerization proceeded when the side chains of the amino acid esters (R2) were more bulky than those of the NCAs (R1).On the contrary, dipeptide esters were produced when the side chains of the NCAs (R1) were more bulky than those of the esters (R2).
