Engineered myoglobins have recently gained attention for their ability to catalyze a variety of abiological carbene transfer reactions including the functionalization of amines via carbene insertion into N-H bonds. However, the scope of myoglobin and other hemoprotein-based biocatalysts in the context of this transformation has been largely limited to aniline derivatives as the amine substrates and ethyl diazoacetate as the carbene donor reagent. In this report, we describe the development of an engineered myoglobin-based catalyst that is useful for promoting carbene N-H insertion reactions across a broad range of substituted benzylamines and α-diazo acetates with high efficiency (82-99percent conversion), elevated catalytic turnovers (up to 7,000), and excellent chemoselectivity for the desired single insertion product (up to 99percent). The scope of this transformation could be extended to cyclic aliphatic amines. These studies expand the biocatalytic toolbox available for the selective formation of C-N bonds, which are ubiquitous in many natural and synthetic bioactive compounds.

Highly potent and selective inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) possessing a 2-aminopyridine group were recently designed and synthesized in our laboratory and were shown to have significant in vivo efficacy. In this work, analogs of our lead compound possessing 2- and 4-aminothiazole rings in place of the aminopyridine were synthesized. The less basic aminothiazole rings will be less protonated at physiological pH than the aminopyridine ring, and so the molecule will carry a lower net charge. This could lead to an increased ability to cross the blood-brain barrier thereby increasing the in vivo potency of these compounds. The 2-aminothiazole-based compound was less potent than the 2-aminopyridine-based analogue. 4-Aminothiazoles were unstable in water, undergoing tautomerization and hydrolysis to give inactive thiazolones.

New tool substances may help to unravel the physiological role of the human orphan receptor BRS-3 and its possible use as a drug target for the treatment of obesity and cancer. In continuation of our work on BRS-3, the solid- and solution-phase synthesis of a library of low molecular weight peptidomimetic agonists based on the recently developed short peptide agonist 4 is described. Functional potencies of the compounds were determined measuring calcium mobilization in a fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR) assay. Focusing on the N-terminus, the D-Phe-Gln moiety of 4 was modified in a combinatorial SAR-oriented medicinal chemistry approach. With the incorporation of N-arylated glycine and alanine building blocks azaglycine, piperazine, or piperidine and the synthesis of semicarbazides and semicarbazones, a number of highly potent and selective compounds with a reduced number of peptide bonds were obtained, which also should have enhanced metabolic stability.
