Amino acid derivatives with a central cationic heterocyclic core (e.g., imidazolium) are biologically relevant cross-linkers of proteins and advanced glycation end (AGE) products. Here, imidazolium-containing cross-linkers were synthesized from imidazole or histidine by N-alkylation employing aspartate- and glutamate-derived mesylates as key step. Biological investigations were carried out to probe the biocompatibility of these compounds.

Histidine (His) racemizes with relative ease during peptide synthesis. One strategy to suppress this racemization is to protect the nitrogen atom of the imidazole moiety in His with a suitable protecting group. Among the numerous protecting groups that have already been tested, the p-methoxybenzyloxymethyl (PMBOM) group on the ?-nitrogen atom effectively suppresses the racemization. However, a large-scale synthesis of N(?)-PMBOM-protected derivatives has hitherto been hampered by the requirement of a freshly prepared unstable reagent. Herein we report the synthesis of N(?)-2-naphthylmethoxymethyl (NAPOM)-protected His derivatives, which can be prepared on a gram scale and do not suffer from the aforementioned instability problems. Furthermore, these NAPOM-protected His derivatives suppress the racemization in Boc- A nd Fmoc-based peptide synthesis.

The N-α-trimethyl 2-selenohistidine selenoneine is the selenium isolog of the natural antioxidant ergothioneine. Sulfur-to-selenium substitutions are known to endow proteins and nucleic acids with special activities. In contrast, secondary metabolites tha
Concise Synthesis of Anserine: Efficient Solvent Tuning in Asymmetric Hydrogenation Reaction

A concise synthesis of anserine and related compounds was accomplished by Et-DuPhos-Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydrohistidine derivatives in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, which played a key role in improving the yield and selectivity.

We have studied the use of amino acid histidine as a precursor for N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. This natural amino acid possesses an imidazole substituent, which makes it an interesting NHC precursor that contains both an acid and an amino functi
Synthesis of histidinoalanine: A comparison of β-lactone and sulfamidate electrophiles
Taylor, Carol M.,De Silva, Samanthi Thabrew
experimental part, p. 5703 - 5708 (2011/09/16)
Previous syntheses of histidinoalanine (HAL) have led to mixtures of regioisomers and/or stereoisomers. For example, opening of N-Cbz-d-serine- β-lactone (6) with Boc-l-His-OMe (5) gave a 2:1 mixture of τ- and π-regioisomers. The sulfamidate 10, derived f
Brucella suis histidinol dehydrogenase: Synthesis and inhibition studies of a series of substituted benzylic ketones derived from histidine

Brucella spp. is the causative agent of brucellosis (Malta fever), which is the most widespread zoonosis worldwide. The pathogen is capable of establishing persistent infections in humans which are extremely difficult to eradicate even with antibiotic therapy. Moreover, Brucella is considered as a potential bioterrorism agent. Histidinol dehydrogenase (HDH, EC 1.1.1.23) has been shown to be essential for the intramacrophagic replication of this pathogen. It therefore constitutes an original and novel target for the development of anti-Brucella agents. In this work, we cloned and overexpressed the HDH-encoding gene from Brucella suis, purified the protein and evidenced its biological activity. We then investigated the inhibitory effects of a series of substituted benzylic ketones derived from histidine. Most of the compounds reported here inhibited B. suis HDH in the lower nanomolar range and constitute attractive candidates for the development of novel anti-Brucella agents.

A simple and mild method for the deprotection of heteroaromatic carbamates via methanolysis using a catalytic amount of base such as sodium methoxide, DBU, or Verkade's base (proazaphosphatranes) is presented. Carbamate protecting group of an aliphatic amine is not affected under these conditions.
Indium(III) halides as new and highly efficient catalysts for N-tert-butoxycarbonylation of amines

Indium(III) bromide and chloride efficiently catalysed the N-tert-butoxycarbonylation of amines with (Boc)2O at room temperature and under solvent-free conditions. Various aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic amines were converted to N-tert-butylcarbamates in excellent yields in short times. Chiral amines, esters of α-amino acids and β-amino alcohols afforded optically pure N-t-Boc derivatives in high yields. The reactions were chemoselective and no competitive side reactions such as isocyanate, urea, and N,N-di-t-Boc formation were observed. Chemoselective conversion to N-tert-butylcarbamates took place with amino alcohols without any formation of oxazolidinones. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
