An enzymatic strategy for the preparation of (R)-β-arylalanines employing phenylalanine aminomutase and ammonia lyase (PAM and PAL) enzymes has been demonstrated. Candidate PAMs with the desired (S)-selectivity from Streptomyces maritimus (EncP) and Bacillus sp. (PabH) were identified via sequence analysis using a well-studied template sequence. The newly discovered PabH could be linked to the first ever proposed biosynthesis of pyloricidin-like secondary metabolites and was shown to display better β-lyase activity in many cases. In spite of this, a method combining the higher conversion of EncP with a strict α-lyase from Anabaena variabilis (AvPAL) was found to be more amenable, allowing kinetic resolution of five racemic substrates and a preparative-scale reaction with >98% (R) enantiomeric excess. This work represents an improved and enantiocomplementary method to existing biocatalytic strategies, allowing simple product separation and modular telescopic combination with a preceding chemical step using an achiral aldehyde as starting material.

All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), the biologically active metabolite of vitamin A, is used medicinally for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases and cancers. However, it is easily metabolized. In this study, the leading compound S8 was found based on virtual screening. To improve the activity of the leading compound S8, a series of novel S8 derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro biological activities. All of the prepared compounds showed that substituting the 5-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole group for the 2-tertbutyl-5-methylfuran scaffold led to a clear increase in the biological activity. The most promising compound 32, with a CYP26A1 IC50 value of 1.36 μM (compared to liarozole (IC50 = 2.45 μM) and S8 (IC50 = 3.21 μM)) displayed strong inhibitory and differentiation activity against HL60 cells. In addition, the study focused on the effect of β-phenylalanine, which forms the coordination bond with the heme of CYP26A1. These studies suggest that the compound 32 can be used as an appropriate candidate for future development.

An efficient synthesis of the (S)-3-amino-3-phenylpropanoic acid enantiomer has been achieved by Carica papaya lipase (CPL) catalysed enantioselective alcoholysis of the corresponding racemic N-protected 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl esters in an organic solvent. A high enantioselectivity (E > 200) was achieved by two strategies that involved engineering of the substrates and optimization of the reaction conditions. Based on the resolution of a series of amino acids, it was found that the structure of the substrate has a profound effect on the CPL-catalysed resolution. The enantioselectivity and reaction rate were significantly enhanced by switching the conventional methyl ester to an activated trifluoroethyl ester. When considering steric effects, the substituted phenyl and amino groups should not both be large for the CPL-catalysed resolution. The mechanism of the CPL-catalysed enantioselective alcoholoysis of the amino acids is discussed to delineate the substrate requirements for CPL-catalysed resolution. Finally, the reaction was scaled up, and the products were separated and obtained in good yields (≥ 80 %). The (S)-3-amino-3- phenylpropanoic acid obtained was used as a key chiral intermediate in the synthesis of (S)-dapoxetine with very high enantiomeric excess (> 99 %). A carica papaya lipase catalysed resolution of N-protected β-phenylalanine esters has been developed. High enantioselectivity was achieved by two strategies that involved engineering of the substrates and optimization of the reaction conditions. After 50 % conversion, the products were separated and used as key chiral intermediates for the synthesis of (S)-dapoxetine with > 99 % ee. Copyright
Integrin-Mediated drug targeting

The present invention relates to cytostatics which have a tumour-specific action as a result of linkage to αvβ3 integrin antagonists via preferred linking units. The preferred linking units guarantee serum stability of the conjugate of cytostatic and αvβ3 integrin antagonist and at the same time the desired intracellular action in tumour cells as a result of their enzymatic or hydrolytic cleavability with release of the cytostatic.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A profitable split: An organocatalytic resolution converts readily available racemic oxazinones 1 into valuable enantiomerically pure β-amino acid derivatives 2 (> 99% ee of the remaining 1 at 53% conversion; 88% ee of the ester 2). This catalytic ring-opening reaction requires as little as 1 mol% of the modular and readily accessible thiourea organocatalyst 3.

Deoxynegamycin (1b) is a protein synthesis inhibitor with activity against Gram-negative (GN) bacteria. A series of conformationally restricted analogs were synthesized to probe its bioactive conformation. Indeed, some of the constrained analogs were found to be equal or better than deoxynegamycin in protein synthesis assay (1b, IC50=8.2μM; 44, IC 50=6.6μM; 35e2, IC50=1μM). However, deoxynegamycin had the best in vitro whole cell antibacterial activity (Escherichia coli, MIC=4-16μg/mL; Klebsiella pneumoniae, MIC=8μg/mL) suggesting that other factors such as permeation may also be contributing to the overall whole cell activity. A new finding is that deoxynegamycin is efficacious in an E. coli murine septicemia model (ED50=4.8mg/kg), providing further evidence of the favorable in vivo properties of this class of molecules.

Integrin adhesion receptors frequently recognize a core amino acid sequence, Arg-Gly-Asp, in their target ligands. Inhibitors with the ability to inhibit one or a small subset of such RGD-dependent integrins have been invaluable in defining their biological function. Here, we have characterized low molecular weight inhibitors for their ability to specifically inhibit ανβ6 integrin, a fibronectin/tenascin receptor. As of yet, no nonpeptidic inhibitor of ανβ6 was known. New peptidomimetic and nonpeptidic compounds were examined in isolated integrin binding assays and in cell adhesion assays for their ability to block ανβ6, ανβ3, ανβ5, and αIIbβ3 integrins. The compounds are based on an aromatically substituted β amino acid or glutaric acid derivative as an acidic center and an aminopyridyl or guanidyl residue as a basic mimetic. We found several classes of inhibitors with different selectivities, especially mono- or biselectivity on the αν-integrins ανβ6 and ανβ3, and nanomolar activity. Furthermore, nearly all compounds are inactive on αIIbβ3. Compound 11 is the first specific, peptidomimetic inhibitor of the ανβ6 integrin receptor.
