This work describes the design, synthesis, and evaluation of low-molecular weight peptidic SARS-CoV 3CL protease inhibitors. The inhibitors were designed based on the potent tripeptidic Z-Val-Leu-Ala(-pyrrolidone-3-yl)-2-benzothiazole (8; Ki = 4.1 nM), in which the P3 valine unit was substituted with a variety of distinct moieties. The resulting series of dipeptide-type inhibitors displayed moderate to good inhibitory activities against 3CLpro. In particular, compounds 26m and 26n exhibited good inhibitory activities with Ki values of 0.39 and 0.33 μM, respectively. These low-molecular weight compounds are attractive leads for the further development of potent peptidomimetic inhibitors with pharmaceutical profiles. Docking studies were performed to model the binding interaction of the compound 26m with the SARS-CoV 3CL protease. The preliminary SAR study of the peptidomimetic compounds with potent inhibitory activities revealed several structural features that boosted the inhibitory activity: (i) a benzothiazole warhead at the S1′ position, (ii) a γ-lactam unit at the S1-position, (iii) an appropriately hydrophobic leucine moiety at the S2-position, and (iv) a hydrogen bond between the N-arylglycine unit and a backbone hydrogen bond donor at the S3-position.

Noroviruses are the most common cause of acute viral gastroenteritis, accounting for >21 million cases annually in the US alone. Norovirus infections constitute an important health problem for which there are no specific antiviral therapeutics or vaccines. In this study, a series of bisulfite adducts derived from representative transition state inhibitors (dipeptidyl aldehydes and α-ketoamides) was synthesized and shown to exhibit anti-norovirus activity in a cell-based replicon system. The ED 50 of the most effective inhibitor was 60 nM. This study demonstrates for the first time the utilization of bisulfite adducts of transition state inhibitors in the inhibition of norovirus 3C-like protease in vitro and in a cell-based replicon system. The approach described herein can be extended to the synthesis of the bisulfite adducts of other classes of transition state inhibitors of serine and cysteine proteases, such as α-ketoheterocycles and α-ketoesters.

A new asymmetric synthesis of α-amino acids is described in which the key step is the diastereoselective addition of organometallic reagents to (R)-O-(1-phenylbutyl)cinnamaldoxime 5 to give hydroxylamines 6. Subsequent reductive cleavage of the N-O bond in the hydroxylamine 6 followed by N- protection gave the carbamates 7, which upon oxidation with ruthenium(III) chloride/periodate gave the N-protected amino acids 8. The method was also adapted to the synthesis of a quaternary amino acid 15 from the ketoxime ether 9.

For a catalytic antibody to be generally useful for organic synthetic chemistry, it must be able to accept a broad range of substrates, yet retain high selectivity. In this work, we propose a hapten design to endow antibody catalysts with two opposing qualities, such as high enantioselectivity and broad substrate specificity. Racemic hapten 2 induced two separate classes of catalytic antibodies to hydrolyze either the L- or D-isomers of N-Cbz-amino acid esters 1. In the kinetic resolution of racemic ester 9, antibodies 7G12 and 3G2 gave 96% ee of L-10 and 94% ee of D-10, respectively. In addition, antibody 7G12 displayed broad substrate specificity, hydrolyzing the L-esters of Ala (1a), Leu (1b), Norleu (1c), Met (1d), Phe (1e), Val (1f), and phenylglycine (1g) with high enantioselectivity. Antibody 3G2 also hydrolyzed the D-isomers of these esters without sacrificing the enantioselectivity. This observation suggests that the use of haptens that fit snugly into the antigen-combining site, and leave the linker moiety outside, is an effective approach for the generation of catalytic antibodies with high selectivity and broad substrate applicability.

The 2-chloroethyl esters of the N-benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) derivatives of several unusual amino-acids are converted by Aspergillus niger lipase into enantiomerically enriched Z-amino-acids with fairly high optical purities, the L-enantiomers being preferentially hydrolysed.

A variety of racemic carboxylic acids have been for the first time directly resolved by normal-phase, high-performance liquid chromatography using a hexane-2-propanol eluting system containing a small amount (ca. 1percent) of a strong carboxylic acid, like formic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and trifluoroacetic acid.

Oxidative rearrangement of allylic selenides in the presence of various amine nucleophiles provides synthetic access to a variety of allylic amine derivatives.The stereochemical outcome of these reactions has been investigated, and is consistent with a -sigmatropic rearrangement mechanism.Several D-α-amino acids and racemic β,γ-unsaturated α-amino acids were prepared in this manner.A variant of this process employing an achiral allylic selenide and chiral amide afforded protected allylic amines in low diastereoisomeric excess.

New analogues of branched polypeptides were synthesised for a further, more detailed study of the influence of the side chain terminating amino acids, particularly the hydrophobic character, configuration and the number of these amino acids, on the conformation and biological properties of the polymers.The folowing amino acids were coupled to poly(L-Lys-(DL-Alam)) in suitably protected and activated forms to study the above mentioned aspects: L-Nle, L-Ile, L-Val, L-Phe, D-Phe, D-Leu, D-Tyr, D-His, L-Glu, D-Glu, L-Lys, D-Lys and additionally the L-Glu-L-Glu, D-Glu-D-Glu, L-Lys-L-Lys and D-Lys-D-Lys dipeptides.The protected and purified end products were freezedried and characterized by various methods.
