A practical and efficient two-step procedure is reported for the preparation of a variety of α-, β-, γ- and δ-amino acids from 2-pyridone, 2-pyrazinone or 2-hydroxypyrimidine and derivatives. The procedure is amenable to scale-up and in most cases no chromatographic purification of the product is required. This approach is useful, especially in the synthesis of amino acids or deuterated amino acids that are not obtained by other methods.

The design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel γ-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT) inhibitors and inactivators can lead to the discovery of new GABA-related therapeutics. To this end, a series of aromatic amino acid compounds was synthesized to aid in the design of new inhibitors and inactivators of GABA-AT. All compounds were tested as competitive inhibitors of GABA-AT. The amino acids with benzylic amines were also tested as substrates for GABA-AT. It was found that these compounds were all poor competitive inhibitors of GABA-AT, but some were substrates of the enzyme, suggesting their utility as scaffolds for potential GABA-AT mechanism-based inactivators. Computer modeling was used to rationalize the substrate activity of the various compounds.
