(Figure Presented) An eggshell finish: Designed peptides can be used as a tool to unravel the structure-activity relationships of eggshell matrix proteins. The ordered arrangement of doublets of charged residues on the peptide and its self-assembling characteristics play a key role in the biomimetic nucleation of polycrystalline calcite crystal aggregates (see picture), which models that initiated by the goose eggshell matrix protein, ansocalcin.
In vitro and in vivo evaluations of THAM derived telomers bearing RGD and Ara-C for tumour neovasculature targeting

As an approach to the development of specific drug delivery systems, a new class of low macromolecular carriers called 'telomers' endowed with an antitumour agent, such as arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ara-C), RGDSK peptidic sequences, as tumour targeting moieties, and tyrosine groups labelled with 125I atoms allowing the in vivo scintigraphic follow up, were synthesized. Their tumour targeting ability was assessed in vivo in mice bearing a murine B16 melanoma. The biological results showed that the presence of RGDSK sequences onto the macromolecules leads to the selective targeting and the accumulation of telomers within the vascularized zone of the tumour. Moreover, such compounds exhibited in vitro a better IC50 (0.015 μM) than pure Ara-C and in vivo an oncostatic index higher than 160%.

Aryl esters of Boc- and Fmoc-protected amino acids derived from electron-deficient phenols have been prepared in good yields from aryl 4- nitrobenzenesulfonates in the presence of 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole as catalyst.
A new facile one-pot preparation of pentafluorophenyl (Pfp) and 3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,2,3-benzotriazine-3-yl (Dhbt) esters of Fmoc amino acids

A new one-pot procedure for the preparation of pentafluorophenyl and 3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,2,3-benzotriazine-3-yl esters of Nα-9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl amino acids bearing no side chain protecting groups is described. The method gives the desired activated esters in high yield and purity without use of the highly allergenic DCC.
9-Fluorenylmethyl Pentafluorophenyl Carbonate as a Useful Reagent for the Preparation of N-9-Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonylamino Acids and their Pentafluorophenyl Esters
Schoen, Istvan,Kisfaludy, Lajos
, p. 303 - 305 (2007/10/02)
9-Fluorenylmethyl pentafluorophenyl carbonate is a useful reagent for the efficient, side reaction-free introduction of N-9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl protecting group into amino acids and for the subsequent preparation of their pentafluorophenyl esters.Some new compounds of both types are described.
