We report the design and synthesis of poly(S-alkyl-l-homocysteine)s, which were found to be a new class of readily prepared, multiresponsive polymers that possess the unprecedented ability to respond in different ways to different stimuli, either through

Glycopolypeptides with a redox-triggered helix-to-coil transition
Kramer, Jessica R.,Deming, Timothy J.

Conformation-switchable glycopolypeptides were prepared by the living polymerization of glycosylated l-cysteine-N-carboxyanhydride (glyco-C NCA) monomers. These new monomers were prepared in high yield by coupling of alkene-terminated C-linked glycosides of d-galactose or d-glucose to l-cysteine using thiol-ene "click" chemistry, followed by their conversion to the corresponding glyco-C NCAs. The resulting glycopolypeptides were found to be water-soluble and α-helical in solution. Aqueous oxidation of the side-chain thioether linkages in these polymers to sulfone groups resulted in disruption of the α-helical conformations without loss of water solubility. The ability to switch chain conformation and remain water-soluble is unprecedented in synthetic polymers, and allows new capabilities to control presentation of sugar functionality in subtly different contexts.

β-Amino-thiols inhibit the zinc metallopeptidase activity of tetanus toxin light chain

Tetanus neurotoxin is a 150-kDa protein produced by Clostridium tetani, which causes the lethal spastic paralytic syndromes of tetanus by blocking inhibitory neurotransmitter release at central synapses. The toxin light chain (50 kDa) has a zinc endopeptidase activity specific for synaptobrevin, an essential component of the neuroexocytosis apparatus. Previous unsuccessful attempts to block the proteolytic activity of this neurotoxin with well-known inhibitors of other zinc proteases led us to study the design of specific inhibitors as a possible drug therapy to prevent the progressive evolution of tetanus following infection. Starting from the synaptobrevin sequence at the level of the cleavage site by tetanus neurotoxin (Gln76- Phe77)a thiol analogue of glutamine demonstrated inhibitory activities in the millimolar range. A structure-activity relationship performed with this compound led us to determine the requirement for the correct positioning of the thiol group, the primary amino group, and a carboxamide or sulfonamide group on the side chain. This resulted in the design of a β-amino(4- sulfamoylphenyl)glycine-thiol, the first significantly efficient inhibitor of tetanus neurotoxin with a K(i) value of 35 ± 5μM.
Potential antitumor agents via inhibitors of L-asparagine synthetase: substituted sulfonamides and sulfonyl hydrazides related to glutamine

, p. 1550 - 1553 (2007/10/13)
A series of 4-(substituted aminosulfonyl)- and 4-(substituted hydrazinosulfonyl)-2-aminobutanoic acids, compounds structurally related to glutamine, was synthesized as potential inhibitors of L-asparagine synthetase and subjected to screening as antitumor agents. Target amino acids were obtained by condensation of a blocked reactive sulfonyl chloride with the appropriate amine or hydrazide, followed by deblocking with hydrogen-palladium or liquid hydrogen fluoride-anisole. Neither the target compounds nor their protected precursors inhibited the enzyme from L5178Y/AR or prolonged the life of mice with P-388 lymphocytic leukemia. However, DL-4,4'-dithiobis[2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)-butanoic acid], an intermediate in the synthesis of the target amino acids, exhibited 90% inhibition of L-asparagine synthetase at 10 mM.
