Chiral peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a derivative of regular PNA by introducing a chiral center to its backbone, and is known to bind more strongly to DNA or RNA than regular PNA. In particular, in the case of a γ-backbone, the L isomer stabilizes the PNA/DNA duplex, and the D-isomer has the opposite effect. Therefore, the synthesis of an optically pure γ-backbone is very important. Here, we report a novel synthetic strategy for the suppression of epimerization during the synthesis of the γ-PNA backbone. A stabilized form of 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (SIBX) was used as an oxidative reagent in the key intermediate of the N-Boc-amino acetaldehyde synthesis. This paper reports (1) the synthesis and comparison of three different γ-PNA backbones (lysine, alanine, and glutamate) by three different synthetic routes (SIBX, lithium aluminum hydride, and Red-Al) and (2) the determination of chiral purity from their derivative compounds. The enantiomeric excess purity of SIBX-mediated γ-PNA backbones was determined to be more than 99.4%, as ascertained by the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) chromatogram on a standard RP-C18 column. It is comparatively higher than that of the other methods examined in this work.

An important part of pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is attributed to the contribution of AGE (Advanced Glycation Endproducts) and ALE (Advanced Lipid peroxidation Endproducts). In order to attenuate the progression of AD, we designed a new type of molecules that consist of two trapping parts for reactive carbonyl species (RCS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), precursors of AGE and ALE, respectively. These molecules also chelate transition metals, the promoters of ROS formation. In this paper, synthesis of the new AGE/ALE inhibitors and evaluation of their physicochemical and biological properties (carbonyl trapping capacity, antioxidant activity, Cu2+-chelating capacity, cytotoxicity and protective effect against in?vitro MGO-induced apoptosis in the model AD cell-line PC12) are described. It is found that compounds 40b and 51e possess promising therapeutic potentials for treating AD.
Synthesis of a series of ω-dimethylaminoalkyl substituted ethylenediamine ligands for use in enantioselective catalysis

The title compounds H2NCH((CH2)nNMe2)CH2NH2 L1-L4 (n = 1-4) are efficiently synthesized in enantiopure form. The commercial starting materials, l-asparagine, (S)-5-hydroxymethyl-2-pyrrolidinone, and (S)-6-(((benzyloxy)carbonyl)-amino)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)hexanoic acid, are elaborated in 6-9 standard steps to give L1 (18% overall), L2 (13%), L3 (36%) and L4 (38%) or the corresponding tris(hydrochloric acid) salts [H3NCH((CH2)nNHMe2)CH2NH3]3+ 3Cl-, which are preferable for long term storage. The sequences make use of isobutyl carbamate, Cbz, and Boc protecting groups and Hofmann type rearrangements; the dimethylamino groups are introduced at late stages, either via reductive dimethylations or nucleophilic displacements involving mesylates and HNMe2. L1-L4 chelate to [Co(en)2]3+ fragments to give octahedral complexes that catalyze numerous enantioselective reactions.
