Precise delivery of a proton plays a key role in O2 activation at iron oxygenases, enabling the crucial O?O cleavage step that generates the oxidizing high-valent metal–oxo species. Such a proton is delivered by acidic residues that may either

α-Amino acids represent a valuable class of natural products employed as building blocks in biological and chemical synthesis. Because of the limited number of natural amino acids available, and of their widespread application in proteomics, diagnosis, drug delivery and catalysis, there is an increasing demand for the development of procedures for the preparation of modified analogues. Herein, we show that the use of bioinspired manganese catalysts and H2O2 under mild conditions, provides access to modified α-amino acids via γ-C?H bond lactonization. The system can efficiently target 1°, 2° and 3° γ-C?H bonds of α-substituted and achiral α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids with outstanding site-selectivity, good to excellent diastereoselectivity and (where applicable) enantioselectivity. This methodology may be considered alternative to well-established organometallic procedures.

Two methods for spirothiohydantoin synthesis are presented. The title compounds were prepared with reaction of the corresponding 1- aminocycloalkanecarboxylic acids and thiourea. These compounds were also prepared by a hydrolysis of the relevant spirodithiohydantoins with barium hydroxide. The structures of the compounds obtained were verified by comparison of 1H, and 13C NMR, IR and MS spectral data.

Neuropathic pain is a serious chronic disorder caused by lesion or dysfunction in the nervous systems. Endogenous nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) peptide and N/OFQ peptide (NOP) receptor [or opioid-receptor-like-1 (ORL1) receptor] are located in the centra

A series of Cα,α-disubstituted cyclic derivatives of N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine have been synthesized and characterized. They exhibited moderate clastogenicity, low antiproliferative activity on mice bone marrow cells and well expressed cytotoxicity against human tumor cell lines. The 8- and 12-membered cyclic analogs proved superior to the remaining compounds and were found to trigger apoptotic cell death in DOHH-2 cells. The latter compound caused 50% inhibition of the viability of hemobastose-derived cell lines at concentrations ranging from 20 to 67 μM.

Hydrogen-bonded tapes based on symmetrically substituted diketopiperazines: A robust structural motif for the engineering of molecular solids

A series of eight symmetrically substituted diketopiperazines (DKPs) derived from 1-amino-1-carboxycycloalkanes (n = 3-7; 3,3,5,5-tetramethylcyclohexane; 4,4-dimethylcyclohexane; 2-indan) were synthesized and their crystal structures determined. In the solid state, all eight compounds form two pairs of hydrogen bonds with two adjacent molecules to form a one-dimensional structure that we refer to as 'tapes'. These molecules represent a range of volumes and shapes that contain a common molecular fragment (DKP ring). We examined this series of compounds with three objectives in mind: (i) to establish the ability of the hydrogen-bonded 'tape' motif to persist through these differences in volume and shape; (ii) to provide a series of structurally related compounds to use to test computational methods of predicting crystal structure from molecular structure; (iii) to search for qualitative correlations between molecular structure and crystal packing. All compounds form tapes and with one exception, all tapes pack with their long axes parallel. When viewed down their long axis, two types of tapes emerge: planar and nonplanar. The type of tape that forms reflects the conformation adapted by the DKP ring-planar or boat. Planar tapes form when the angle (α) between the two planes defined by the cis-amides in the DKP ring is 180°; nonplanar tapes form when α 180°. Five of the eight compounds studied form planar tapes, the remaining three compounds form nonplanar tapes. Despite the variability in volume and shape represented by this series of molecules, the persistence of the tape motif in their crystalline solids suggests that the hydrogen-bonding interactions between parallel alignment of tapes that pack in a manner that permits the interdigitation of substituents on adjacent tapes.

Stereochemical and structural aspects of the variations in the C-terminal residue of L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester have been investigated.Novel configurational analogues such as L-aspartyl-D-alanine benzyl ester and L-aspartyl-D-α-aminobutyric acid benzyl ester were found to be sweet.In addition, chiral and achiral α,α-dialkylglycine and α-aminocycloalkanecarboxylic acids were incorporated into the dipeptides.The L-aspartic acid based dipeptide derivatives of α-aminoisobutyric acid methyl ester, α-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid methyl ester, α-aminocyclobutanecarboxylic acid methyl ester, and α-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid methyl ester are sweet.Dipeptides with α-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid methyl ester and α-aminocycloheptanecarboxylic acid methyl ester are bitter, whereas the analogues with α-aminocyclooctanecarboxylic acid methyl ester, α,α-diethylglycine methyl ester, and α-aminoisobutyric acid benzyl ester are tasteless.Aspects on chirality and effective volume of the C-terminal residue are discussed and correlated with taste.
