A simple procedure for C-terminal activation of peptides in solution and its application in native chemical ligation and protein synthesis is described. This method involves a mild thioesterification based on the conversion of an aryloxy-o-methylaminoanilide to thioester under aqueous conditions and in situ ligation with an N-terminal cysteine peptide. The versatility is shown in pH-controlled sequential ligations. To illustrate the usefulness of this methodology, we synthesized the palmitoylated N-terminal domain of human Sonic Hedgehog, a morphogen protein that binds the transmembrane receptor Patched and activates the Hedgehog signaling pathway, involved in embryonic development and in the proliferation of multiple tumors. This approach extends the chemical toolset of chemical protein synthesis based on o-aminoanilide and o-methylaminoanilide peptides.

, (2008/06/13)
2-Substituted-1-aziridine-carboxylic acid esters exhibiting immuno-stimulant activity and of the formula STR1 wherein X is a carbamoyl or alkoxycarbonyl radical, and R1 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical optionally substituted by halogen, alkoxy, amino, carbamoyloxy, cycloalkyl, hydroxyl, an imido or heterocyclic radical, cycloalkyl; or aryl, aralkyl, aryloxyalkyl or arylthioalkyl wherein the aryl moiety is optionally substituted by halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxyl, amino, nitro, cyano, acyl, carbalkoxy, thioalkyl, alkylsulphonyl, phenyl or trifluoromethyl. Counterparts where X is --CN and R1 is as above, except for ethyl, are also new.
