, p. 58 - 63 (2013)
(1-Pyrenyl)butadiyne derivatives 5 and 6 with a methylene chain and a L-alanine moiety as a chiral group were synthesized, and the end group of 5 and 6 was ethyl ester and carboxylic acid, respectively. These compounds could be polymerized in the crystals by UV irradiation at 365 nm. The regular solid-state polymerization was confirmed for 5 although 6 showed irregular polymerization. Their nanoaggregate water dispersions were obtained by the reprecipitation method. Morphology of their nanoaggregates was studied by SEM, and helical nanoribbons and circle domains were observed for 5 and 6, respectively.

An efficient strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of Cα-substituted proline derivatives from acyclic α-amino acids has been established. The 5-exo-dig asymmetric cyclization of α-amino ester enolates onto heterosubstituted alkynes provided a product with excellent enantioselectivity via the memory of chirality concept. Density functional theory calculations indicated that a heteroatom is crucial for the success of the asymmetric cyclization because a more stabilized vinyl carbanion is produced. This new method has the potential to enable the rapid asymmetric construction of bioactive molecules containing the pyrrolidine skeleton.

A novel and efficient stereocontrolled method has been developed for the preparation of chiral 3,4-dihydro-2H-naphtho[1,2-b][1,4]oxazin-2-ones by the reaction of benzoxepine-4-carboxylates with chiral amino acid ethyl esters for the first time. The chiral 3,4-dihydro-2H-naphtho-1,4-oxazinones have been achieved in one step by the formation of C-N, C-C, and C-O bonds.

Novel ethyl 2-(5-aryl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-acetates 17 and propionates 18, together with their acetic acid 19 and acetohydrazide 20 derivatives, were designed and synthesized using TosMIC chemistry. Biological evaluation of these newly synthesized scaffolds in the HIV-1 Vpu- Host BST-2 ELISA assay identified seven hits (17a, 17b, 17c, 17g, 18a, 20f and 20g) with greater than 50% inhibitory activity. These hits were validated in the HIV-1 Vpu- Host BST-2 AlphaScreen and six of the seven compounds were found to have comparable percentage inhibitory activities to those of the ELISA assay. Compounds 17b and 20g, with consistent percentage inhibitory activities across the two assays, had IC50 values of 11.6 ± 1.1 μM and 17.6 ± 0.9 μM in a dose response AlphaScreen assay. In a cell-based HIV-1 antiviral assay, compound 17b exhibited an EC50 = 6.3 ± 0.7 μM at non-toxic concentrations (CC50 = 184.5 ± 0.8 μM), whereas compound 20g displayed antiviral activity roughly equivalent to its toxicity (CC50 = 159.5 ± 0.9 μM). This data suggests that compound 17b, active in both cell-based and biochemical assays, provides a good starting point for the design of possible lead compounds for prevention of HIV-1 Vpu and host BST-2 protein binding in new anti-HIV therapeutics.

We have demonstrated for the first time that carboxylic ortho esters could be used as an alkylating agent in the reductive alkylation of amines. A variety of amines, including amino acid esters, were alkylated affording mono-alkylated products with high selectivity in practical to high yields using standard heterogeneous catalysts. By applying acyclic ortho esters alkylation was completed at room temperature. (Figure presented.).

Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) activator has become one class of popular insecticide because of its unique mode of action. In order to find more new RyRs activators as insecticidal agents, a series of 18 novel chiral anthranilic diamides were designed by introducing the D-alanine acid and D-serine acid esters as well as trifluoroethoxyl group into the anthranilic diamide skeleton and synthesized successfully based on anthranilic diamide and FKI-1033 structures. The structures of the title compounds Ia–i and IIa–i were confirmed by melting points, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analysis and specific optical rotation analysis. The preliminary bioassay results indicated that most of the title compounds exhibited considerable larvicidal activities against oriental armyworm at 10 mg/L, especially Ib, Ie and IIh showed remarkable insecticidal activities at 0.5 mg/L. The larvicidal activity against diamondback moth of Ia and IId were 80% and 90% respectively at 0.0001 mg/L, which was similar to that of chlorantraniliprole. The relationship between structure and insecticidal activity was analyzed to reveal a possible co-regulated effect of the chiral amino acid ester, halogen atom or cyano group, and trifluoroethyloxyl group of the skeleton structures of the title compounds, which will provide useful information for guiding the design and discovery of new RyRs activators and insecticidal agrochemicals.

The technological utility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is greatly enhanced when they are transformed into ionic liquids (ILs). API-ILs have better solubility, thermal stability, and the efficacy in topical delivery than solid or crystalline drugs. However, toxicological issue of API-ILs is the main challenge for their application in drug delivery. To address this issue, 11 amino acid esters (AAEs) were synthesized and investigated as biocompatible counter cations for the poorly water-soluble drug salicylic acid (Sal) to form Sal-ILs. The AAEs were characterized using 1H and 13C NMR, FTIR, elemental, and thermogravimetric analyses. The cytotoxicities of the AAE cations, Sal-ILs, and free Sal were investigated using mammalian cell lines (L929 and HeLa). The toxicities of the AAE cations greatly increased with inclusion of long alkyl chains, sulfur, and aromatic rings in the side groups of the cations. Ethyl esters of alanine, aspartic acid, and proline were selected as a low cytotoxic AAE. The cytotoxicities of the Sal-ILs drastically increased compared with the AAEs on incorporation of Sal into the cations, and were comparable to that of free Sal. Interestingly, the water miscibilities of the Sal-ILs were higher than that of free Sal, and the Sal-ILs were miscible with water at any ratio. A skin permeation study showed that the Sal-ILs penetrated through skin faster than the Sal sodium salt. These results suggest that AAEs could be used in biomedical applications to eliminate the use of traditional toxic solvents for transdermal delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs.

Titanium tetrachloride smoothly reacted with a selection of α-amino acids (aaH) in CH2Cl2 affording yellow to orange solid coordination compounds, 1a-d, in 70-78% yields. The salts [NHEt3][TiCl4(aa)], 2a-b, were obtained from TiCl4/aaH/NEt3 (aa = l-phenylalanine, N,N-dimethylphenylalanine), in 60-65% yields. The complex , 3, was isolated from the reaction of l-proline with NbCl5/NHiPr2, performed in CH2Cl2 at room temperature. The X-ray structure of 3 features a bridging (E)-1,2-bis(3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-5-yl)ethene-1,2-diolate ligand, resulting from the unprecedented C-C coupling between two proline units. Unusually stable α-ammonium acyl chlorides were prepared by the reactions of PCl5/MCln (MCln = NbCl5, WCl6) with l-proline, N,N-dimethylphenylalanine, sarcosine and l-methionine. MX5 (M = Nb, Ta; X = F, Cl) reacted with l-leucine methylester and l-proline ethylester to give ionic coordination compounds, [MX4L2][MX6] (M = Nb, L = Me2CHCH2CH(NH2)CO2Me, X = F, 9; Cl, 11a; M = Nb, X = Cl, , 11c; Ta, 11d), in moderate to good yields. [NbCl5(Me2CHCH2CHNH3CO2Me)][NbCl6], 12, was isolated as a co-product of the reaction of NbCl5 with l-leucine isopropylester, and crystallographically characterized. The reaction of NbCl5 with l-serine isopropylester afforded NbCl3(OCH2CHNHCO2iPr), 13, in 66% yield. The activation of the ester O-R bond was observed in the reactions of l-leucine methyl ester with NbF5 and l-proline ethyl ester with MBr5 (M = Nb, Ta), these reactions proceeding with the release of EtF and EtBr, respectively. All the metal products were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods, while DFT calculations were carried out in order to provide insight into the structural and mechanistic aspects.

Skyllamycin is a non-ribosomally synthesized cyclic depsipeptide from Streptomyces sp. Acta 2897 that inhibits PDGF-signaling. The peptide scaffold contains an N-terminal cinnamoyl moiety, a β-methylation of aspartic acid, three β-hydroxylated amino acids and one rarely occurring α-hydroxy glycine. With the exception of α-hydroxy glycine, the stereochemistry of the amino acids was assigned by comparison to synthetic reference amino acids applying chiral GC-MS and Marfey-HPLC analysis. The stereochemistry of α-hydroxy glycine, which is unstable under basic and acidic conditions, was determined by conformational analysis, employing a combination of data from NOESY-NMR spectroscopy, simulated annealing and free MD simulations. The simulation procedures were applied for both R- and S-configured α-hydroxy glycine of the skyllamycin structure and compared to the NOESY data. Both methods, simulated annealing and free MD simulations independently support S-configured α-hydroxy glycine thus enabling the assignment of all stereocenters in the structure of skyllamycin and devising the role of two-component flavin dependent monooxygenase (Sky39) as S-selective.

A new (S)-enantioselective ω-transaminase (ω-TA) gene from Burkholderia vietnamiensis G4 was functionally expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), and the purified recombinant N-terminal His-tagged ω-TA (HBV-ω-TA) had a dimeric structure with optimum pH and temperature of 8.4 and 40 C, respectively. The enzyme showed higher activities toward aromatic amines than aliphatic amines and (S)-1-methylbenzylamine ((S)-α-MBA) was the most active amino donor. For amino acceptor, keto acids, keto esters and aldehydes were more reactive than ketones with pyruvate ethyl ester being most active. Several chiral amines and unnatural amino acids or esters were synthesized using HBV-ω-TA as the catalyst and isopropylamine or (S)-α-MBA as amino donor. Notably, HBV-ω-TA catalyzed the amino transfer to β-keto esters to give optically pure β-amino acid esters. In addition, glyoxylate was used as amino acceptor for the first time in the kinetic resolution of racemic amines and optically pure amines, such as (R)-1-methylbenzylamine, (R)-1-phenylpropylamine, (R)-2-amino-4-phenylbutane and (R)-1-aminotetraline, were obtained.
