Liver-specific contrast agents (CAs) can improve the Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detection of focal and diffuse liver lesions by increasing the lesion-to-liver contrast. A novel Mn(II) complex, Mn-BnO-TyrEDTA, with a lipophilic group-modified ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) structure as a ligand to regulate its behavior in vivo, is superior to Gd-EOB-DTPA in terms of a liver-specific MRI contrast agent. An MRI study on mice demonstrated that Mn-BnO-TyrEDTA can be rapidly taken up by hepatocytes with a combination of hepatobiliary and renal clearance pathways. Bromosulfophthalein (BSP) inhibition imaging, biodistribution, and cellular uptake studies confirmed that the mechanism of hepatic targeting of Mn-BnO-TyrEDTA is the hepatic uptake of the amphiphilic anion contrast agent mediated by organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) expressed by functional hepatocytes.

A series of dipeptidyl nitriles as inhibitors of cathepsin K have been explored starting from lead structure 1 (Cbz-Leu-NH-CH2-CN, IC 50 = 39 nM). Attachment of non-natural amino acid side chains in P1 and modification of the P3 subu

A procedure for the solid-phase synthesis of oligourea peptidomimetics starting from Boc-protected monomers is described. The compounds are prepared on Tentagel resin and can be obtained selectively rather as the C-terminal free acids with UV irradiation
Activation of carboxylic acids by pyrocarbonates. Application of di-tert-butyl pyrocarbonate as condensing reagent in the synthesis of amides of protected amino acids and peptides
Pozdnev, Vladimir F.

Amides formation from protected amino acids and peptides was achieved in an easy and convenient one-pot procedure using di-tert-butyl pyrocarbonate as activating agent in the presence of pyridine and ammonium hydrogencarbonate. The method gave good yields and did not induce racemization during the amidation of urethane protected amino acids.

Boc- or Z-amino acids were conveniently amidated at room temperature by a one-pot procedure employing ammonium hydrogencarbonate and N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline in yields of 81-96percent.The benzyl ester-type protector for the side chains of aspartic acid and glutamic acid was not affected by the procedure.
