The cyclization of peptide side chains has been traditionally used to either induce or stabilize secondary structures (β-strands, helices, reverse turns) in short peptide sequences. So far, classic peptide coupling, nucleophilic substitution, olefin metat
Antimicrobial toxicity studies of ionic liquids leading to a 'hit' MRSA selective antibacterial imidazolium salt

Imidazolium salts can be classed as surfactants, detergents, ionic liquids, reagents, catalysts or solvents. A study of the toxicity and ecotoxicity of these salts yields valuable information for their use as pharmaceuticals as well as impact on the environment. Our approach to screen a series of chiral imidazolium salts for toxicity to bacteria and fungi, including clinical pathogen strains, has led to the identification of a 'hit' MRSA selective antimicrobial compound. Preliminary structure-activity-relationship (SAR) information (required position of l-phenylalanine and l-valine group) is also elucidated within this first generation of compounds. Conversely, most of the imidazolium salts were nontoxic (IC95 > 2 mM) to the 12 fungi strains and 8 bacteria strains screened, and we propose that they are suitable candidates for 'green chemistry' applications. Ecotoxicity studies (Biodegradation ISO 14593 'CO2 Headspace Test') of two bromide ionic liquids containing l-phenylalanine residues indicate that these ionic liquids passed the test (>60% in 28 days) and classed as readily biodegradable.
Intramolecular ligation of carbonyl oxygen to central zinc in synthetic oligopeptide-linked zinc-porphyrins

Oligopeptide-linked zinc-porphyrins were prepared (oligopeptide = -Phe(m)-Ala(n)-OMe and porphyrin = 5,15-diaryl-2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrin). 1H NMR, IR, visible, and CD spectra of the synthetic molecule in a chlorinated methane (CDCl3 or CH2Cl2) showed that the carbonyl oxygen of the N-terminal amino acid of the linked peptide should ligate the central zine metal in the molecule as the axial ligand to form a pentacoordinated zinc-porphyrin. The coordination of the zinc with the peptide framework changed the optical and electrical properties, indicating that such ligation might control the reactivity in biological metallotetrapyrrole-protein systems as well as the coordination to the peptide residue.
