Glycine-selective α-carbon-nitrogen bond cleavage of dipeptides by nickel peroxide

Nickel peroxide selectively cleaves the α-carbon-nitrogen bond of glycine residues in dipeptide derivatives to give the corresponding amides. The glycine selectivity is attributable to preferential complexation of the reactant residue to nickel peroxide and subsequent reaction via a stable α-centered glycyl radical. The oxidation process serves as a chemical model for peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase (PAM) and, in addition, may have potential for the synthesis of α,β-didehydro amino acid residues within peptides.

Modulation of the immune system is an emerging concept in the control of tumor growth. Bearing in mind the pharmacological properties of thalidomide and its phthalimide derivatives, we describe here the structural design, synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of N-acylhydrazones derived from phthalimide. The ability of these N-acylhydrazones in inhibiting the secretion of TNF-α in stimulated cells as well as in inhibiting the transcription of the TNF-α gene was evaluated. We identified N-acylhydrazones 6b and 9c, which substantially impaired TNF-α secretion, expression and reduced IL-1β production similar to thalidomide or Revlimid. N-Acylhydrazone 9c was also able to induce apoptosis in Jurkat cells, however it does not have either antiproliferative properties or cytotoxicity for mouse splenocytes. Beyond that, we have assayed the ability of these compounds to induce cell death and a number of them are able to induce apoptosis.
Rapid procedure for N-phthaloylation of α-amino carboxamides, α-amino alcohols, α-amino esters and dipeptide derivatives

A rapid, one-pot synthesis and mild procedure for the N-phthaloylation of α-amino carboxamides is described. In acetonitrile, these derivatives react with mono-methylphthalate in the presence of BOP and i-Pr2NEt to afford the intermediate Nα-[(o-methoxycarbonyl)benzoyl]amino carboxamides, which undergo rapid cyclization in the presence of aqueous sodium carbonate to afford the corresponding Nα-phthaloylamino carboxamides in excellent yields. The reaction also works efficiently with α-amino esters, α-amino alcohols and dipeptide esters or amides.
