Determination of Acid Dissociation Constants of Histidine-Containing Peptides by Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

, p. 208 - 213 (1983)
The acid dissociation constant of the imidazolium ring of the decapeptide luliberin has been determined by 1H NMR-followed titration in D2O.The normal procedure for the analysis of the titration curve, i. e. direct use of the Henderson-Haselbalch equation, is still applicable in this case, but for more complex peptides a modified calculation procedure is proposed.Results obtained when both methods were applied to luliberin are compared.The influence of D2O when used as the solvent in this type of determination has been studied using Nα-acetyl-L-histidine methyl ester as a model compound.The difference between the acid dissociation constant of this molecule determined in H2O and in D2O implies that a correction of -0.25 unit is needed for those pKa values calculated by plotting the chemical shifts in D2O vs the apparent pH meter readings.The pKa found for Nα-acetyl-L-histidine methyl ester, 6.30 +/- 0.04, can be taken as a standard value for histidine-containing peptides.

Amino acid derivatives with a central cationic heterocyclic core (e.g., imidazolium) are biologically relevant cross-linkers of proteins and advanced glycation end (AGE) products. Here, imidazolium-containing cross-linkers were synthesized from imidazole or histidine by N-alkylation employing aspartate- and glutamate-derived mesylates as key step. Biological investigations were carried out to probe the biocompatibility of these compounds.

For application in drug discovery and biomedicine, it is crucial to develop new biocompatible methods to modify polypeptides. Herein, a visible-light-induced photoredox trifluoromethylation of tryptophan-containing peptides is reported. Under a mild, biocompatible, and straightforward condition, this strategy could incorporate the trifluoromethyl group into tryptophan residue with excellent chemo- and site-selectivity. The use of lower photocatalyst loading in 2 mol-% and cheap CF3SO2Na salt represents a great catalytic activity and economic CF3 source. This direct trifluoromethylation strategy allows the ready study of fluorinated peptides exploiting 19F-NMR. Additionally, the development of this protocol enables the study of biochemical systems and potentially modulates the function of biomolecules. Careful mechanistic studies (Stern-Volmer fluorescence quenching, EPR, and radical inhibition/trapping experiments) indicate that the reaction would proceed with a radical–radical cross-coupling procedure.

Histidine (His) carries a unique heteroaromatic imidazole side chain and plays irreplaceable functional roles in peptides and proteins. Existing strategies for site-selective histidine modification predominantly rely on the N-substitution reactions of the moderately nucleophilic imidazole group, which inherently suffers from the interferences from lysine and cysteine residues. Chemoselective modification of histidine remains one of the most difficult challenges in peptide chemistry. Herein, we report peptide modification via radical-mediated chemoselective C-H alkylation of histidine using C4-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) reagents under visible-light-promoted conditions. The method exploits the electrophilic reactivity of the imidazole ring via a Minisci-type reaction pathway. This method exhibits an exceptionally broad scope for both peptides and DHP alkylation reagents. Its utility has been demonstrated in a series of important peptide drugs, complex natural products, and a small protein. Distinct from N-substitution reactions, the unsubstituted nitrogen groups of the modified imidazole ring are conserved in the C-H alkylated products.

The absolute configurations of primary amines were assigned using a kinetic resolution strategy with Mioskowski's enantioselective 1-(R,R) and 2-(S,S) acylating agents. A simple mnemonic was developed to determine the configuration. A pseudoenantiomeric pair of reagents, 1-(R,R) and 2-(S,S)-d 3, was prepared and used to assay primary amines on a micromolar scale. The ESI-MS readout of the resulting acetamide products reproduced the selectivity factors from kinetic experiments. The method can be used on mixtures of amines and was validated with amine samples as small as 50 nmol.

Main-chain C,N-protected histidine has been successfully alkylated at both side-chain nitrogens. The corresponding histidinium salt was metallated with ruthenium(ii) by a transmetalation procedure, thus providing histidine-derived NHC ruthenium complexes. These bio-inspired complexes show appreciable activity in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of ketones. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.
