Opioids account for 69,000 overdose deaths per annum worldwide and cause serious side effects. Safer analgesics are urgently needed. The endogenous opioid peptide Leu-Enkephalin (Leu-ENK) is ineffective when introduced peripherally due to poor stability a

Peptides are the chemical compounds which consist of amino acids coupled together by peptide linkage. Peptide derivatives are synthesized by coupling the carboxyl group of one amino acid with amino group of other. Due to the possibilities of fortuitous and unintentional reactions, various protecting groups are used to protect the carboxylic acid as well as amino groups of both the amino acids. These peptide derivatives are associated with a variety of pharmacological activities including antibacterial and antifungal activities. While doing our analysis some of the dipeptides were synthesized in a reasonable yield and purity which were fully characterised by FTIR and H1 NMR. The antimicrobial activity of these derivatives was studied and these were found to be active against two strains of fungi (Aspergillus fumigatus & Pencillium chrysogenum) and two strains of bacteria (E. coli and Salmonella typhimurium). This provides for a future insight to work on the synthesis of these dipeptide derivatives to achieve their stability.

Sugar amino acids (SAAs) bearing an amine group on the anomeric position are a challenging class of SAAs to synthesize due to the inherent instability of glycosylamines. We developed a novel synthetic strategy towards both furanoid and pyranoid δ-SAAs of
