A stereocontrolled total synthesis of the cyclodepsipeptide, itralamide B, has been achieved. Both R- and S-stereoisomers of the side chain were attached to the macrocyclic ring, however, the synthesized structure appears to be different from that of the

Signal peptide peptidase-like 2a (SPPL2a) is an aspartic intramembrane protease which has recently been shown to play an important role in the development and function of antigen presenting cells such as B lymphocytes and dendritic cells. In this paper, we describe the discovery of the first selective and orally active SPPL2a inhibitor (S)-2-cyclopropyl-N1-((S)-5,11-dioxo-10,11-dihydro-1H,3H,5H-spiro[benzo[d]pyrazolo[1,2-a][1,2]diazepine-2,1′-cyclopropan]-10-yl)-N4-(5-fluoro-2-methylpyridin-3-yl)succinamide 40 (SPL-707). This compound shows adequate selectivity against the closely related enzymes γ-secretase and SPP and a good pharmacokinetic profile in mouse and rat. Compound 40 significantly inhibited processing of the SPPL2a substrate CD74/p8 fragment in rodents at doses ≤10 mg/kg b.i.d. po. Oral dosing of 40 for 11 days at ≥10 mg/kg b.i.d. recapitulated the phenotype seen in Sppl2a knockout (ko) and ENU mutant mice (reduced number of specific B cells and myeloid dendritic cells). Thus, we believe that SPPL2a represents an interesting and druggable pharmacological target, potentially providing a novel approach for the treatment of autoimmune diseases by targeting B cells and dendritic cells.

A general procedure for the synthesis of enantiopure β-substituted, β- amino acids is presented. Alkylation of the sodium enolates derived from chiral N-acyloxazolidinone imides 2 (R = Me, i-Pr, t-Bu, Ph, Bn) with tert- butyl bromoacetate afforded the 2-substituted succinate derivatives 3 in good yields (82-89%) and with high selectivity (≥ 93;7). Following hydrolysis, Curtius rearrangement of the resulting carboxylic acid provided the enantiopure benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz)-protected β-amino esters 6 in good yields (74-79%).
