A modular strategy that allows introduction of one or more reactive platinum units at chosen locations along a peptide sequence is presented. This makes use of diazides generated from serine and threonine as diamine equivalents which can be conjugated to the peptide under standard coupling conditions. Reduction of these diazides using Pd/C and H2 followed by platination affords the final products in good yields. Following this, we prepared a new class of peptide-platinum conjugates and carried out preliminary cytotoxicity evaluation and DNA interaction studies. Inclusion of lysine residues in the sequence was found to improve DNA interaction and anticancer activities compared to analogous conjugates with hydrophobic side chains.

Prenyl carbamates: Preparation and deprotection
Vatèle, Jean-Michel
, p. 4251 - 4260 (2007/10/03)
Prenyloxycarbonylimidazole (PreocIm) and prenyl p-nitrophenyl carbonate (PreocOC6H4p-NO2), two substitutes for the unstable prenyl chloroformate, allowed an efficient introduction of the prenyloxycarbonyl group to a variety of primary and secondary amines. Deprotection of prenyl carbamates was readily achieved by, first their conversion to 2-iodo-3-methoxy-3-methylbutyl carbamates with iodine in methanol followed by reductive β-elimination with zinc powder. These reaction conditions are compatible with the presence of a number of functional groups such as Boc and Cbz carbamates, sulfides, double bonds, indoles and aromatic ethers.
Unique overlap in the prerequisites for thrombin inhibition and oral bioavailability resulting in potent oral antithrombotics

Despite intense research over the last 10 years, aided by the availability of X-ray structures of enzyme-inhibitor complexes, only very few truly orally active thrombin inhibitors have been found. We conducted a comprehensive study starting with peptide transition state analogues (TSA). Both hydrophobic nonpeptide analogues as well as hydrophilic peptidic analogues were synthesized. The bioavailability in rats and dogs could be drastically altered depending on the overall charge distribution in the molecule. Compound 27, a tripeptide TSA inhibitor of thrombin, showed an oral bioavailability of 32% in rats and 71% in dogs, elimination half-lives being 58 and 108 min, respectively. The thrombin inhibition constant of compound 27 was 1.1 nM, and in an in vivo arterial flow model, the ED50 was 5.4 nmol/kg.min, comparable to known non-TSA inhibitors. A molecular design was found that combines antithrombotic efficiency with oral bioavailability at low dosages.

Amide-linked lysine mono- and di-uronic acid fragments of the O-specific polysaccharide from P. mirabilis O27 have been synthesised.Nε-Boc-L-lysine tert-butyl ester was condensed with 2-azidoethyl glycosides of glucuronic acid and β-D-GlcpNAc-(1->3)-β-D-GlcpA.Transformation of the products into 2-acrylamidoethyl glycosides, followed by deprotection using trifluoroacetic acid, gave the target monomers that were converted into high-molecular-weight copolymer-type neoglycoconjugates.
Synthesis of a Novel Class of Peptides: Dilactam-Bridged Tetrapeptides
Manesis, Nick J.,Goodman, Murray
, p. 5331 - 5341 (2007/10/02)
As model compounds for the study of constrained peptides, the following lactam-bridged derivatives were synthesized: Ac-L--D--NHMe (I), Ac-L--L--NHMe (II), Ac-L--NHMe (III), Ac-L--D--NHMe (IV), Ac-L--L--NHMe (V), and Ac-L--NHMe (VI).Benzyloxycarbonyl and tert-butyloxycarbonyl groups were employed for amine protection and the benzyl and methyl esters for carboxyl protection.Coupling reactions were carried out by the use of active esters or through azide activation.Cyclization reactions were carried out by adding the active ester hydrochlorides into large volumes of pyridine at elevated temperatures.The cyclic intermediates were obtained in yields of 45-50percent.Fragment condensation of the cyclic dipeptides yielded the corresponding dilactam-bridged tetrapeptides.
