Dipeptides and their cyclized 2,5-piperazinedione (or diketopiperazine, DKP) derivatives are attractive building blocks for supra-molecular hydrogels. The Phe-Phe, (p -nitro)-Phe-Phe, and Phe-Val dipeptides and their corresponding DKPs are studied for sel

Microorganisms embedded in a biofilm are significantly more resistant to antimicrobial agents and the defences of the human immune system, than their planktonic counterpart. Consequently, compounds that can inhibit biofilm formation are of great interest for novel therapeutics. In this study, a screening approach was used to identify novel cyclic dipeptides that have anti-biofilm activity against oral pathogens. Five new active compounds were identified that prevent biofilm formation by the cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans and the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. These compounds also inhibit the adherence of microorganisms to a hydroxylapatite surface. Further investigations were conducted on these compounds to establish the structure–activity relationship, and it was deduced that the common cleft pattern is required for these molecules to act effectively against biofilms.

We synthesised a library of cis- and trans-cyclic dipeptides and evaluated their efficacy as catalysts in the asymmetric Weitz-Scheffer epoxidation of trans-chalcone. A thorough investigation relying on structure-activity studies and computational studies provided insights into the mechanism of the process. Our results revealed some structural features required for efficient conversion and for introduction of chirality into the product. The cyclic dipeptide acts as a catalyst by templating a supramolecular arrangement at the aqueous-organic interface required for efficient transformations to occur. Among all cyclic dipeptides investigated, cyclo(Leu-Leu) was the most efficient supramolecular catalyst.
Marine natural occurring 2,5-diketopiperazines: Isolation, synthesis and optical properties

Seven 2,5-diketopiperazines (DKPs) were isolated from the Fijian marine sponge Acanthella cavernosa. NMR and circular dichroism (CD) comparison with synthetic L-L DKPs allowed us to determine unambiguously the L-L absolute configuration of the natural DKPs. This work initiated the setting up of an optical properties database of natural DKPs, including specific rotation and CD.

Several natural and synthetic polypeptides possess important antimalarial activity. Shorter peptides with potent antimalarial activity have also been described, among them linear di-, tri-, tetra- and pentapeptides and their cyclic analogs. In an attempt

Aqueous in situ one-pot N-Boc-deprotection-cyclization of Nα-Boc-dipeptidyltert-butyl and methyl esters under microwave irradiation afforded 2,5-diketopiperazines (DKPs) in excellent yields. This protocol is rapid, safe, environmentally friendly, and high

The taste compounds inducing the blood-like, metallic bitter taste sensation reported recently for a dichloromethane extract prepared from roasted cocoa nibs were identified as a series of 25 diketopiperazines by means of HPLC degustation, LC-MS/MS, and i

Conjugate additions of organocuprates to a 3-methylene-6-isopropyldiketopiperazine acceptor for the asymmetric synthesis of homochiral α-amino acids

Addition of a range of organocuprates to (S)-N,N′-bis(p-methoxybenzyl)-3-methylene-6-isopropylpiperazine-2, 5-dione 8 affords cis-3-isopropyl-6-alkyldiketopiperazines in excellent yield and >95% de. Subsequent deprotection and hydrolysis of these cis-3-isopropyl-6-alkyldiketopiperazines affords homochiral (S)-α-amino acids in excellent yield.
Deracemisation of α-amino acids - (R)- and (S)-phenylalanine from the same enantiomer of a homochiral auxiliary

, p. 2795 - 2798 (2007/10/03)
Chiral auxiliary (3S)-N,N'-bis-(p-methoxybenzyl)-3-isopropylpiperazine- 2,5-dione 1 was employed for the synthesis of both enantiomers of phenylalanine using a regioselective deprotonation/stereoselective reprotonation strategy. Modification of this approach enables the efficient deracemisation of (±)-phenylalanine.
