Hybrids of aurantiamide acetate and isopropylated genipin as potential anti-inflammatory agents: The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation

A novel series of hybrids designed on the basis of aurantiamide acetate and isopropylated genipin were synthesized and biologically evaluated as anti-inflammatory agents. Among them, compound 7o exhibited the best inhibitory activity against TNF-α secretion (IC50?=?16.90?μM) and was selected for further in vitro and in vivo functional study. The results demonstrated that 7o was capable of suppressing the expression of LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2, as well as reducing the production of NO at the concentration of 5?μM, which may be resulted from its regulation of NF-κB signaling and MAPK signaling. Moreover, compound 7o exhibited favorable in vivo anti-inflammatory activity with an inhibition rate of 53.32% against xylene-induced ear swelling in mice at the dose of 5?mg/kg.

Palladium-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylation in Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis: A Method for Capping, Cyclization, and Isotope Labeling

A new synthetic approach for introducing N-capping groups onto peptides attached to a solid support, combining aminocarbonylation under mild conditions using a palladacycle precatalyst and solid-phase peptide synthesis, is reported. The use of a silacarboxylic acid as an in situ CO-releasing molecule allowed the reaction to be performed in a single vial. The method also enables versatile substitution of side chains, side-chain-to-side-chain cyclizations, and selective [13C] acyl labeling of modified peptides.

Unexpected hydrolytic instability of N-acylated amino acid amides and peptides

Remote amide bonds in simple N-acyl amino acid amide or peptide derivatives 1 can be surprisingly unstable hydrolytically, affording, in solution, variable amounts of 3 under mild acidic conditions, such as trifluoroacetic acid/water mixtures at room temperature. This observation has important implications for the synthesis of this class of compounds, which includes N-terminal-acylated peptides. We describe the factors contributing to this instability and how to predict and control it. The instability is a function of the remote acyl group, R2CO, four bonds away from the site of hydrolysis. Electron-rich acyl R2 groups accelerate this reaction. In the case of acyl groups derived from substituted aromatic carboxylic acids, the acceleration is predictable from the substituent's Hammett σ value. N-Acyl dipeptides are also hydrolyzed under typical cleavage conditions. This suggests that unwanted peptide truncation may occur during synthesis or prolonged standing in solution when dipeptides or longer peptides are acylated on the N-terminus with electron-rich aromatic groups. When amide hydrolysis is an undesired secondary reaction, as can be the case in the trifluoroacetic acid-catalyzed cleavage of amino acid amide or peptide derivatives 1 from solid-phase resins, conditions are provided to minimize that hydrolysis.

Synthesis and anti-hepatitis B virus activities of Matijing-Su derivatives

A series of derivatives of Matijing-Su (MTS, N-(N-benzoyl-l-phenylalanyl)-O-acetyl-l-phenylalanol) was synthesized and evaluated for their anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activities in 2.2.15 cells. The IC50 of compounds 9c (1.40 μM), 9g (2.33 μM) and 9n (2.36 μM), etc. and the selective index of 9n (45.93) of the inhibition on the replication of HBV DNA were higher than those of the positive control lamivudine [41.59, (IC50: 82.42 μM)]. Compounds 11d, 12a and 12e also exhibited significant anti-HBV activities.
