Three human G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)—GPR34/LPS1, P2Y10/LPS2, and GPR174/LPS3—are activated specifically by lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS), an endogenous hydrolysis product of a cell membrane component, phosphatidylserine (PS). LysoPS consists of-serine, glycerol, and fatty acid moieties connected by phosphodiester and ester linkages. We previously generated potent and selective GPCR agonists by modification of the three modules and the ester linkage. Here, we show that a novel modification of the hydrophilic serine moiety, that is, N-acylations of the serine amine, converted a GPR174 agonist to potent GPR174 antagonists. Structural exploration of the amide functionality provided access to a range of activities from agonist to partial agonist to antagonist. The present study would provide a new strategy for the development of lysophospholipid receptor antagonists.
Effective methods for the synthesis of N-methyl β-amino acids from all twenty common α-amino acids using 1,3-oxazolidin-5-ones and 1,3-oxazinan-6-ones

N-Methyl β-amino acids are generally required for application in the synthesis of potentially bioactive modified peptides and other oligomers. Previous work highlighted the reductive cleavage of 1,3-oxazolidin-5-ones to synthesise N-methyl α-amino acids. Starting from α-amino acids, two approaches were used to prepare the corresponding N-methyl β-amino acids. First, α-amino acids were converted to N-methyl α-amino acids by the so-called '1,3-oxazolidin-5-one strategy', and these were then homologated by the Arndt-Eistert procedure to afford N-protected N-methyl β-amino acids derived from the 20 common α-amino acids. These compounds were prepared in yields of 23-57% (relative to N-methyl α-amino acid). In a second approach, twelve N-protected α-amino acids could be directly homologated by the Arndt-Eistert procedure, and the resulting β-amino acids were converted to the 1,3-oxazinan-6-ones in 30-45% yield. Finally, reductive cleavage afforded the desired N-methyl β-amino acids in 41-63% yield. One sterically congested β-amino acid, 3-methyl-3-aminobutanoic acid, did give a high yield (95%) of the 1,3-oxazinan-6-one (65), and subsequent reductive cleavage gave the corresponding AIBN-derived N-methyl β-amino acid 61 in 71% yield (Scheme 2). Thus, our protocols allow the ready preparation of all N-methyl β-amino acids derived from the 20 proteinogenic α-amino acids.

N-Methyl amino acids occur in many natural products. Experimental strategies are presented for a unified approach to the synthesis of N-methyl derivatives through 5-oxazolidinones of the 20 common L-amino acids. The amino acids with reactive side chains that required protecting groups or devoted syntheses for side chain construction for N-methylation to proceed included serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, methionine, tryptophan, asparagine, histidine, and arginine. The studies have provided improved methods for the preparation of N-methyl serine, threonine, and tyrosine. All 20 of the common L-amino acids are now available in suitable forms for solid or solution-phase peptide synthesis.
