De novo drug discovery is still a challenge in the search for potent and selective modulators of therapeutically relevant target proteins. Here, we disclose the unexpected discovery of a peptidic ligand 1 by X-ray crystallography, which was auto-tailored by the therapeutic target MMP-13 through partial self-degradation and subsequent structure-based optimization to a highly potent and selective β-sheet peptidomimetic inhibitor derived from the endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). The incorporation of non-proteinogenic amino acids in combination with a cyclization strategy proved to be key for the de novo design of TIMP peptidomimetics. The optimized cyclic peptide 4 (ZHAWOC7726) is membrane permeable with an IC50 of 21 nm for MMP-13 and an attractive selectivity profile with respect to a polypharmacology approach including the anticancer targets MMP-2 (IC50: 170 nm) and MMP-9 (IC50: 140 nm).

Tailored mutants of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from Petroselinum crispum (PcPAL) were created and tested in ammonia elimination from various sterically demanding, non-natural analogues of phenylalanine and in ammonia addition reactions into the corresponding (E)-arylacrylates. The wild-type PcPAL was inert or exhibited quite poor conversions in both reactions with all members of the substrate panel. Appropriate single mutations of residue F137 and the highly conserved residue I460 resulted in PcPAL variants that were active in ammonia elimination but still had a poor activity in ammonia addition onto bulky substrates. However, combined mutations that involve I460 besides the well-studied F137 led to mutants that exhibited activity in ammonia addition as well. The synergistic multiple mutations resulted in substantial substrate scope extension of PcPAL and opened up new biocatalytic routes for the synthesis of both enantiomers of valuable phenylalanine analogues, such as (4-methoxyphenyl)-, (napthalen-2-yl)-, ([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-, (4′-fluoro-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-, and (5-phenylthiophene-2-yl)alanines.

A new type of novel chiral pyridoxamines 3a-g containing a side chain has been developed. The pyridoxamines displayed catalytic activity and promising enantioselectivity in biomimetic asymmetric transamination of α-keto acids, to give various α-amino acids in 47-90% yields with up to 87% ee's under very mild conditions. An interesting effect of the side chain on enantioselectivity was observed in the reaction.

l-Aminoacylase from Aspergillus melleus was co-aggregated with polyethyleneimine and subsequently cross-linked with glutaraldehyde to obtain aminoacylase-polyethyleneimine cross-linked enzyme aggregates (termed as AP-CLEA). Under the optimum conditions, AP-CLEA expressed 74.9% activity recovery and 81.2% aggregation yield. The said method of co-aggregation and cross-linking significantly improved the catalytic stability of l-aminoacylase with respect to temperature and storage. AP-CLEA were employed for enantioselective synthesis of three unnatural amino acids (namely: phenylglycine, homophenylalanine and 2-naphthylalanine) via chiral resolution of their ester-, amide- and N-acetyl derivatives. The enantioselectivity of AP-CLEA was the highest for hydrolysis of amino acid amides; was moderate for hydrolysis of N-acetyl amino acids and was the least for hydrolysis of amino acid esters. Furthermore, AP-CLEA were found to retain more than 92% of the initial activity after five consecutive batches of (RS)-homophenylalanine hydrolysis suggesting an adequate operational stability of the biocatalyst.

Unnatural amino acids, particularly synthetic α-amino acids, are becoming crucial tools for modern drug discovery research. In particular, this application requires enantiomerically pure isomers. In this work we report on the resolution of racemic mixtures of the amino acids D,L-naphthylalanine and D,L-naphthylglycine by using a natural enzyme, D-amino acid oxidase from the yeast Rhodotorula gracilis. A significant improvement of the bioconversion is obtained using a single-point mutant enzyme designed by a rational approach. With this D-amino acid oxidase variant the complete resolution of all the unnatural amino acids tested was obtained: in this case, the bioconversion requires a shorter time and a lower amount of biocatalyst compared to the wild-type enzyme. The simultaneous production of the corresponding α-keto acid, a possible precursor of the amino acid in the L-form, improves the significance of the procedure.

The single enantiomers of 2-naphthylalanine and N-tert-butoxycarbonyl 2-naphthylalanine were prepared from 2-naphthaldehyde. The sequence has been optimized and run on multikilogram scale, with the key step the asymmetric hydrogenation of methyl 2-acetamido-3-(2-naphthyl)propenoate using the rhodium complex of the methyl BoPhoz ligand, which proceeded smoothly at scale with 97.9% ee. Enhancement to >99.5% ee was achieved by crystallization of the methyl 2-amino-3-(2-naphthyl)propanoate methanesulfonic acid addition salt, the product of acidic deacylation of the hydrogenation product. This protocol for enantiomeric purity enhancement appears to be general for these types of amino acid derivatives. Subsequent transformations did not effect the enantiomeric purity, affording the desired products in >99.5% ee.

Achiral, diamagnetic Ni(II) complexes 1 and 3 have been synthesized from Ni(II) salts and the Schiff bases, generated from glycine and PBP (7) and PBA (11), respectively, in MeONa/MeOH solutions. The requisite carbonyl-derivatizing agents pyridine-2-carboxylic acid(2-benzoyl-phenyl)-amide 7 (PBP) and pyridine-2-carboxylic acid(2-formyl-phenyl)-amide 11 (PBA) were readily prepared from picolinic acid and o-aminobenzophenone or picolinic acid and methyl o-anthranilate, respectively. The structure of 1 was established by X-ray crystallography. Complexes 1 and 3 were found to undergo C-alkylation with alkyl halides under PTC conditions in the presence of β-naphthol or benzyltriethylammonium bromide as catalysts to give mono- and bis-alkylated products, respectively. Decomposition of the complexes with aqueous HCI under mild conditions gave the required amino acids, and PBP and PBA were recovered. Alkylation of 1 with highly reactive alkyl halides, carried out under the PTC conditions in the presence of 10% mol of (S)- or (R)-2-hydroxy-2′ -amino-1,1′-binaphthyl 31a (NOBIN) and/or its N-acyl derivatives and by (S)- or (R)-2-hydroxy-8′-amino-1,1′-binaphthyl 32a (iso-NOBIN) and its N-acyl derivatives, respectively, gave rise to α-amino acids with high enantioselectivities (90-98.5% ee) in good-to-excellent chemical yields at room temperature within several minutes. An unusually large positive nonlinear effect was observed in these reactions. The Michael addition of acrylic derivatives 37 to 1 was conducted under similar conditions with up to 96% ee. The 1H NMR and IR spectra of a mixture of the sodium salt of NOBIN and 1 indicated formation of a complex between the two components. Implications of the association and self-association of NOBIN for the observed sense of asymmetric induction and nonlinear effects are discussed.

A facile and fast enantioselective synthesis of α-amino acids with high ee values was achieved by the asymmetric alkylation of the glycine derivative 1 under phase-transfer conditions with (R)-2-amino-2′-hydrozy-1,1′-binaphthyl (NOBIN; see sceme). The ee value of the amino acid products. This occures as a results of a significant positive nonlinear effect in the alkylation reaction.
