Syntheses of Enantiopure 1,2-Ethylenediamines with Tethered Secondary Amines of the Formula H 2NCH 2CH[(CH 2) nNHMe]NH 2(n = 1-4) from α-Amino Acids: New Agents for Asymmetric Catalysis

Tris(hydrochloride) adducts of the title compounds-are prepared from the inexpensive α-amino acids H 2 N(C=O)CH 2 CH(NH 2)CO 2 H, HO(C=O)(CH 2) n ′ CH(NH 2)CO 2 H (n ′ = 1, 2), and H2 N(CH 2) 4 CH(NH 2)CO 2 H, respectively (steps/overall yield = 5/32, 7/30, 7/33, 5/38). The NH 2 group that is remote from the secondary amine is installed via BH 3 reduction of an amide [-(C=O)NR 2[ derived?-from an α-amino carboxylic acid. The MeNHCH 2 units are introduced by BH 3 reductions of alkyl carbamate [RO(C=O)NHCH 2-; R = Et, t-Bu] or amide [MeHN(C=O)-] moieties.

The oxytocinase subfamily of M1 aminopeptidases, consisting of ER aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1), ER aminopeptidase 2 (ERAP2), and insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP), plays critical roles in the generation of antigenic peptides and indirectly regulates human adaptive immune responses. We have previously demonstrated that phosphinic pseudotripeptides can constitute potent inhibitors of this group of enzymes. In this study, we used synthetic methodologies able to furnish a series of stereochemically defined phosphinic pseudotripeptides and demonstrate that side chains at P1′ and P2′ positions are critical determinants in driving potency and selectivity. We identified low nanomolar inhibitors of ERAP2 and IRAP that display selectivity of more than 2 and 3 orders of magnitude, respectively. Cellular analysis demonstrated that one of the compounds that is a selective IRAP inhibitor can reduce IRAP-dependent but not ERAP1-dependent cross-presentation by dendritic cells with nanomolar efficacy. Our results encourage further preclinical development of phosphinic pseudotripeptides as regulators of adaptive immune responses.
Replacement of Ala by Aib improves structuration and biological stability in thymine-based α-nucleopeptides

Three thymine-based nucleo-heptapeptides, each containing two nucleo-amino acids and zero, one or four Aib residues, respectively, have been synthesized. A single Aib residue is enough to promote the adoption of a helical structure in our nucleopeptides a
