Novel chiral selectors based on 3,5-dimethyl phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin connecting quinine (QN) or quinidine (QD) moiety were synthesized and immobilized on silica gel. Their chromatographic performances were investigated by comparing to the 3,5-dimethyl phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) chiral stationary phase (CSP) and 9-O-(tert-butylcarbamoyl)-QN-based CSP (QN-AX). Fmoc-protected amino acids, chiral drug cloprostenol (which has been successfully employed in veterinary medicine), and neutral chiral analytes were evaluated on CSPs, and the results showed that the novel CSPs characterized as both enantioseparation capabilities of CD-based CSP and QN/QD-based CSPs have broader application range than β-CD-based CSP or QN/QD-based CSPs. It was found that QN/QD moieties play a dominant role in the overall enantioseparation process of Fmoc-amino acids accompanied by the synergistic effect of β-CD moiety, which lead to the different enantioseparation of β-CD-QN-based CSP and β-CD-QD-based CSP. Furthermore, new CSPs retain extraordinary enantioseparation of cyclodextrin-based CSP for some neutral analytes on normal phase and even exhibit better enantioseparation than the corresponding β-CD-based CSP for certain samples.

Development of an Fmoc-based solid-phase depsipeptide methodology has been hampered by base-promoted fragmentation and diketoperazine formation upon Fmoc group elimination. Such a strategy would be a useful tool given the number of commercially available Fmoc-protected residues. Herein we report that the addition of small percentages of organic acids to the Fmoc-removal cocktail proves effective to circumvent these drawbacks and most importantly, allowed the development of an exclusively solid-phase stepwise methodology to prepare a highly complex depsipeptide with multiple and consecutive esters bonds. Alongside, the optimal protecting group scheme for residue incorporation, which is not as straightforward as it is for traditional peptide synthesis, was explored. The developed stepwise strategy proved effective for the synthesis of a highly complex cyclodepsipeptide, being comparable to the yields obtained when using traditional combined chemistry approaches.

α-Ketoacid-hydroxylamine (KAHA) ligation allows the coupling of unprotected peptide segments through the chemoselective formation of an amide bond. Currently, the most widely used variant employs a 5-membered cyclic hydroxylamine that forms a homoserine ester as the primary ligation product. In order to directly form amide-linked threonine residues at the ligation site, we prepared a new 4-membered cyclic hydroxylamine building block. This monomer was applied to the synthesis of wild-type ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UbcH5a (146 residues) and Titin protein domain TI I27 (89 residues). Both the resulting UbcH5a and the variant with two homoserine residues showed identical activity to a recombinant variant in a ubiquitination assay.

The endothelial glycoprotein MUC1 is known to underlie alterations in cancer by means of aberrant glycosylation accompanied by changes in morphology. The heavily shortened glycans induce a collapse of the peptide backbone and enable accessibility of the latter to immune cells, rendering it a tumor-associated antigen. Synthetic vaccines based on MUC1 tandem repeat motifs, comprising tumor-associated 2,3-sialyl-T antigen, conjugated to the immunostimulating tetanus toxoid, are reported herein. Immunization with these vaccines in a simple water/oil emulsion produced a strong immune response in mice to which stimulation with complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) was not superior. In both cases, high levels of IgG1 and IgG2a/b were induced in C57BL/6 mice. Additional glycosylation in the immunodominant PDTRP domain led to improved binding of the induced antisera to MCF-7 breast tumor cells, compared with that of the monoglycosylated peptide vaccine.

The use of the tetrahydropyranyl (Thp) group for the protection of serine and threonine side-chain hydroxyl groups in solid-phase peptide synthesis has not been widely investigated. Ser/Thr side-chain hydroxyl protection with this acid-labile and non-aromatic moiety is presented here. Although Thp reacts with free carboxylic acids, it can be concluded that to introduce Thp ethers at the hydroxyl groups of N-protected Ser and Thr, protection of the C-terminal carboxyl group is unnecessary due to the lability of Thp esters. Thp-protected Ser/Thr-containing tripeptides are synthesized and the removal of Thp studied in low concentrations of trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of cation scavengers. Given its general stability to most non-acidic reagents, improved solubility of its conjugates and ease with which it can be removed, Thp emerges as an effective protecting group for the hydroxyl groups of Ser and Thr in solid-phase peptide synthesis.

Fmoc-OSu has been widely used for Fmoc protection of amino groups, especially amino acids, in solid phase peptide synthesis. However, it has been recognized that Fmoc-βAla-OH is formed as a by-product via the Lossen rearrangement during the reaction. Since we reconfirmed the formation of Fmoc-βAla-OH during the preparation of Fmoc-AA-OH by Fmoc-OSu, Fmoc-OPhth was designed and synthesized as a new Fmoc reagent to avoid the formation of Fmoc-βAla-OH. Furthermore, Fmoc protection by Fmoc-OPhth and Fmoc-SPPS were evaluated. The various Fmoc-amino acids prepared by Fmoc-OPhth were carried out in good yields and these are applicable in Fmoc-SPPS.

Novel C4- and C7-modified FK228 analogues were efficiently synthesized in a highly convergent and unified manner. This synthesis features the amide condensation of glycine-d-cysteine-containing segments with d-valine-containing segments for the direct assembly of the corresponding seco-acids, which are key precursors of macrolactones. The HDAC inhibition assay and cell-growth inhibition analysis of the synthesized analogues revealed novel aspects of their structure-activity relationship. This study demonstrated that simple modification at the C4 and C7 side chains in FK228 is effective for improving both HDAC inhibitory activity and isoform selectivity; moreover, potent and highly isoform-selective class I HDAC1 inhibitors were identified.

The scope of MgI2 as a valuable tool for quantitative and mild chemoselective cleavage of protecting groups is described here. This novel synthetic approach expands the use of protecting groups, widens the concept of orthogonality in synthetic processes, and offers a facile opportunity to release compounds from solid supports. Amazing MgI2: Protecting groups have had a tremendous positive impact on the art of biomolecule synthesis. In a context in which the use of attractive protecting groups is often limited by harsh deprotection conditions and low chemoselective flexibility, MgI2 offers, by the execution of a very simple protocol, a fresh vision with extensive perspectives.

α-Aminoesters react with Ph3PCCO in a domino addition-Wittig cyclization sequence affording enantiomerically pure tetramates. In the case of β-oxo functionalized α-aminoesters, e.g., esters of serine, threonine or β-hydroxyornithine the yields of this reaction depend heavily on the bulkiness of the β-OR group and on the configuration of β-carbon atom C-3. Smaller residues and 2R/3R-configured aminoesters give better yields. The alkoxycarbonyl group of the ester moiety and the residue on the N-atom are less important. These findings can be accounted for by assuming an early puckered transition state for the intramolecular ring-closing Wittig reaction. The addition of sub-stoichiometric amounts of benzoic acid or N-hydroxysuccinimide (for acid-sensitive compounds) is advantageous in some cases as it accelerates the formation of the intermediate amide ylides.

A novel method for cleaving from resin and removing acid-labile protecting groups for the Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis is described. 0.1 N HCl in hexafluoroisopropanol or trifluoroethanol cleanly and rapidly removes the tert-butyl ester and ether, Boc, trityl, and Pbf groups and cleaves the common resin linkers: Wang, HMPA, Rink amide, and PAL. Addition of just 5-10% of a hydrogen-bonding solvent considerably retards or even fully inhibits the reaction. However, a non-hydrogen-bonding solvent is tolerated.
