Photochemical Chemoselective Alkylation of Tryptophan-Containing Peptides

We report a photochemical method for the chemoselective radical functionalization of tryptophan (Trp)-containing peptides. The method exploits the photoactivity of an electron donor-acceptor complex generated between the tryptophan unit and pyridinium sal

Copper-Promoted N-Arylation of the Indole Side Chain of Tryptophan Using Triarylbismuthines

A simple protocol for the regioselective N-arylation of the indole side chain of tryptophan using triarylbismuth reagents as the arylating agent is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by copper(II) acetate, and operates in the presence of triethylamine or

4-(4,6-Dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium Toluene-4-sulfonate (DMT/NMM/TsO?) Universal Coupling Reagent for Synthesis in Solution

4-(4,6-Dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium toluene-4-sulfonate (DMT/NMM/TsO?), a representative member of the inexpensive and environmentally-friendly N-triazinylammonium family of sulfonates, has been found to be a very effective coupling reagent for the synthesis of amides, esters and peptides in solution. This study confirms the usefulness of DMT/NMM/TsO? for peptide synthesis in solution, starting from Z-, Fmoc-, and Boc-protected substrates as well as unnatural building blocks. Peptide synthesis with DMT/NMM/TsO? produced high yields, with high crude product purity and low risk of racemization. In all cases, stoichiometric amounts of reagents were used and the standard synthetic procedure, without the need for time-consuming optimization stages or expensive chromatographic purification. DMT/NMM/TsO? was also found to be very useful for the synthesis of oligopeptides using a fragment coupling strategy.

Conditional changes enhanced production of bioactive metabolites of marine derived fungus Eurotium rubrum

Metabolites of marine derived fungus Eurotium rubrum MPUC136 differed between cultivation on wheat medium and Czapek-Dox agar medium. Melanin synthesis inhibitory activity of crude extract of culture on wheat medium showed stronger activity than that of crude extract of culture on Czapek-Dox agar medium. A new diketopiperazine compound isoechinulin D (1) and eight reported diketopiperazines (2–9) were isolated from the crude extract of wheat medium. The structure of 1 was established using NMR, MS and IR methods. 2–5 inhibited melanogenesis using B16 melanoma cells (IC50?=?68, 2.4, 83, 9.1?μM each). Structure–Activity-Relationships of diketopiperazines (1–10) indicated the importance of the prenyl groups at C-2, C-5 and C-7, the vinyl group at C-12 to C-25 and the sp2carbons at C-8 and C-9. Isolated compounds (1–9) were not or slightly observed from the extracts of Czapek-Dox agar medium by HPLC analysis, suggesting that different cultivation processes could affect metabolism and enhance bioactivities.

9-Silafluorenyl Dichlorides as Chemically Ligating Coupling Agents and Their Application in Peptide Synthesis

A fundamentally simple, mild, and practical procedure for peptide bond formation is reported that employs a stoichiometric amount of easy-to-access 9-silafluorenyl dichlorides as the coupling agent. Without initial preactivation or elaboration of the carboxylic acid or amine termini of the amino acids, the developed reagent is proposed to act through an unprecedented chemical ligation mechanism, bringing the two coupling partners together before being subsequently eliminated. The desired amides or peptide bonds are thus furnished in good yields and with low to no epimerization.

Synthesis and conformation studies of rubiyunnanin B analogs

Five new analogs 4-8 of rubiyunnanin B (1), mainly modified on the tetrapeptide subunit, were synthesized. These agents 4-8 were substituted d-Ala-l-Ala-l-Tyr(OMe)-l-Ala, d-Ala-l-Ala-l-Phe-l-Ala, d-Ala-l-Ala-l-Try-l-Ala, d-Ala-l-Ala-l-Pro-l-Ala, and d-Ala-l-Ala-l-Ala for the d-Ala-l-Ala-l-N-Me-Tyr(OMe)-l-Ala tetrapeptide subunit. Unlike the natural product, the synthetic agents 4-8 adopt only a single solution conformation, and the central peptide bond in the cyclodityrosine subunit of compounds 4-8 adopt trans stereochemistry. Cytotoxic activities of analogs 4-8 against three human cancer cell lines including A549, BGC-823, and HeLa were evaluated and all the five synthesized peptides exhibited no effects against the test cell lines. These compounds were also evaluated for their antiinsulin resistance and insulin sensitizing activities and none of them showed activity in these assays.
