, p. 5197 - 5206 (2014/07/08)
Enantiopure N-benzyloxycarbonyl-protected and free 3-substituted homotaurines were synthesized from naturally occurring amino acids via N-benzyloxycarbonyl protection, Arndt-Eistert homologation, reduction, esterification with thioacetic acid, and oxidation with performic acid. The current method is a convenient, practical, and salt-free method for the synthesis of enantiopure 3-substituted homotaurine with moderate to good yields.

Current methods of homologation of α-amino acids to β-amino acids have limitations. To overcome these shortfalls the Nef reaction has been utilized in the multistep synthesis of β3-amino acids from α-amino acids. In this approach, N-protected a

Several commercially available nitrilases were investigated with regard to their potential to hydrolyze N-protected β3-amino nitriles into their corresponding N-protected β3-amino acids. The biotransformations were obtained in different proportions depending on the nitrilase involved. The best hydrolysis results were achieved for the N-Cbz-β3-amino nitrile from l-alanine using the NIT-107, in a phosphate buffer at 0.05 M. However, no biotransformation into the corresponding acids was observed for the N-sulfonylamide β3-amino nitriles. Two simple and efficient procedures to prepare the β3-amino nitriles from their analogous α-amino acids are described. Thirty four new substances were synthesized and characterized over the course of this work.

The role of nitric oxide (NO) as a biological signaling molecule is well established. NO is produced by the nitric oxide synthases (NOSs, EC 1.14.13.39), a class of heme proteins capable of converting L-arginine to NO and L-citrulline. Despite the large body of knowledge associated with the NOSs, mechanistic details relating to the unique oxidative chemistry performed by these enzymes remain to be fully elucidated. Furthermore, a number of disease states are associated with either the over- or underproduction of NO, making the NOS pathway an attractive target for the development of therapeutics. For these reasons, molecular tools capable of providing mechanistic insights into the production of NO and/or the inhibition of the NOSs remain of interest. We report here the stereospecific synthesis and testing of a number of new L-arginine analogues bearing a minimal substitution, methylation at position 5 of the amino acid side chain (such analogues have not been previously reported). The synthetic approach employed a modified photolysis procedure whereby irradiation of the appropriate diacylperoxide precursors at 254 nm gave access to the required unnatural amino acids in good yields. A heme domain construct of the inducible NOS isoform (iNOSheme) was used to assess the binding of each compound to the enzyme active site. The compounds were also investigated as either inhibitors of, or alternate substrates for, the inducible NOS isoform. The results obtained provide new insight into the steric and stereochemical tolerance of the enzyme active site. These findings also further support the role of a conserved active site water molecule previously proposed to be necessary for NOS catalysis.

N-Methyl β-amino acids are generally required for application in the synthesis of potentially bioactive modified peptides and other oligomers. Previous work highlighted the reductive cleavage of 1,3-oxazolidin-5-ones to synthesise N-methyl α-amino acids. Starting from α-amino acids, two approaches were used to prepare the corresponding N-methyl β-amino acids. First, α-amino acids were converted to N-methyl α-amino acids by the so-called '1,3-oxazolidin-5-one strategy', and these were then homologated by the Arndt-Eistert procedure to afford N-protected N-methyl β-amino acids derived from the 20 common α-amino acids. These compounds were prepared in yields of 23-57% (relative to N-methyl α-amino acid). In a second approach, twelve N-protected α-amino acids could be directly homologated by the Arndt-Eistert procedure, and the resulting β-amino acids were converted to the 1,3-oxazinan-6-ones in 30-45% yield. Finally, reductive cleavage afforded the desired N-methyl β-amino acids in 41-63% yield. One sterically congested β-amino acid, 3-methyl-3-aminobutanoic acid, did give a high yield (95%) of the 1,3-oxazinan-6-one (65), and subsequent reductive cleavage gave the corresponding AIBN-derived N-methyl β-amino acid 61 in 71% yield (Scheme 2). Thus, our protocols allow the ready preparation of all N-methyl β-amino acids derived from the 20 proteinogenic α-amino acids.
