A series of N-protected α-ammo diazoketones has been prepared from L-amino acids and dipeptides and used as precursors in the synthesis of novel N-protected α-amino glyoxals via oxidation with distilled dimethyldioxirane (DMD) in acetone. The glyoxals have been converted, without purification, into enantiopure imines, pyrazines, quinoxalines, and pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines via condensation with the appropriate amine or diamine. The molecular structure of the pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine derived from N-Cbz-L-phenylalanine has been determined by X-ray analysis.

A series of peptidyl α-keto aldehydes (glyoxals) have been synthesised as putative inhibitors of the chymotryptic-like activity of proteasome. The most potent peptides, Cbz-Leu-Leu-Tyr-COCHO and Bz-Leu-Leu-Leu-COCHO, function as slow-binding reversible inhibitors, exhibiting final K(i) values of approximately 3.0 nM. These are among the lowest values so far reported for (tri)peptide-based aldehyde-releated inhibitors.
