Breast cancer has the highest incidence and mortality in females, while prostate cancer has the second-highest incidence in males. Studies have shown that compounds from Brazilian green propolis have antitumor activities and can selectively inhibit the AKR1C3 enzyme, overexpressed in hormone-dependent prostate and breast tumors. Thus, in an attempt to develop new cytotoxic inhibitors against these cancers, three prenylated compounds, artepillin C, drupanin and baccharin, were isolated from green propolis to synthesize new derivatives via coupling reactions with different amino acids. All obtained derivatives were submitted to antiproliferative assays against four cancer cells (MCF-7, MDA MB-231, PC-3, and DU145) and two normal cell lines (MCF-10A and PNT-2) to evaluate their cytotoxicity. In general, the best activity was observed for compound 6e, derived from drupanin, which exhibited half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 9.6 ± 3 μM and selectivity index (SI) of 5.5 against MCF-7 cells. In silico studies demonstrated that these derivatives present coherent docking interactions and binding modes against AKR1C3, which might represent a possible mechanism of inhibition in MCF-7 cells.

Kervefors, Gabriella,Kersting, Leonard,Olofsson, Berit
, p. 5790 - 5795 (2021/03/08)
A transition metal-free approach for the N-arylation of amino acid derivatives has been developed. Key to this method is the use of unsymmetric diaryliodonium salts with anisyl ligands, which proved important to obtain high chemoselectivity and yields. The scope includes the transfer of both electron deficient, electron rich and sterically hindered aryl groups with a variety of different functional groups. Furthermore, a cyclic diaryliodonium salt was successfully employed in the arylation. The N-arylated products were obtained with retained enantiomeric excess.

Two anabaenopeptins, Schizopeptin 791 and anabaenopeptin NZ825, have similar structural features and have been synthesized via a novel acid-catalyzed head-to-side-chain concomitant cyclization/cleavage reaction on oxime resin. The methodology gave rapid access to the anabaenopeptin scaffold by taking advantage of a combined solid-phase/solution-phase synthetic strategy. Also, as side-products of the synthesis, large C2-symmetric 38-member cyclic peptides ring bearing two endocyclic lysine side-chains were isolated, constituting a novel cyclic peptide scaffold.
Probe compounds for fluorescence recognition of amino acid enantiomers and synthesis and applications thereof
-
Paragraph 0030, (2019/01/05)
The invention provides probe compounds for fluorescence recognition of amino acid enantiomers. Probe compounds (a, b, c) are prepared by following steps: dissolving dimethyl squarate into anhydrous methanol, dropwise adding methanol solutions of phenylalanine ethyl ester, phenylalanine benzyl ester, and phenylalanine tert-butyl ester, after addition, stirring the solution for 20 to 24 hours at a room temperature, filtering the solution, and finally washing the filter residues by ethyl acetate several times. When D-proline is added into ethanol-water solutions of chiral probe compounds (a, c),the fluorescence strength of the solutions is reduced; when L-proline is added into the solutions, the fluorescence strength of the solutions is enhanced obviously; and thus the probe compounds (a,c)have a good recognition effect on two enantiomers of proline. When L-valine is added into ethanol-water solutions of the probe compound (b), the fluorescence strength of the solution is obviously reduced; when D-valine is added into the solution, the fluorescence strength of the solution is not changed; and thus the probe compound (b) has a good recognition effect on two enantiomers of valine.

Enantiomers of a series of tripeptide derivatives with three stereogenic centers (±)-G1-G9 have been prepared from d- and l-α-amino acids as guests for chiral recognition by 1H NMR spectroscopy. In the meantime, a family of tetraaza macrocyclic chiral solvating agents (TAMCSAs) 1a-1d has been synthesized from d-phenylalanine and (1S,2S)-(+)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane. Discrimination of enantiomers of (±)-G1-G9 was carried out in the presence of TAMCSAs 1a-1d by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The results indicate that enantiomers of (±)-G1-G9 can be effectively discriminated in the presence of TAMCSAs 1a-1d by 1H NMR signals of multiple protons exhibiting nonequivalent chemical shifts (ΔΔδ) up to 0.616 ppm. Furthermore, enantiomers of (±)-G1-G9 were easily assigned by comparing 1H NMR signals of the split corresponding protons with those attributed to a single enantiomer. Different optical purities (ee up to 90%) of G1 were clearly observed and calculated in the presence of TAMCSAs 1a-1d, respectively. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions were demonstrated through theoretical calculations of enantiomers of (±)-G1 with TAMCSA 1a by means of the hybrid functional theory with the standard basis sets of 3-21G of the Gaussian 03 program.

Over 50 years ago, Jencks and Gilchrist showed that formaldehyde catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphoramidate through electrophilic activation, induced by covalent attachment to its nitrogen atom. Given our interest in the use of aldehydes as catalysts, this work was revisited to identify a superior catalyst, o-phthalaldehyde, which facilitates hydrolyses of various organophosphorus compounds bearing P(O)-NH subunits under mild conditions. Interestingly, chemoselective hydrolysis of the P(O)-N bonds could be accomplished in the presence of P(O)-OR bonds.

-
Paragraph 0066; 0069; 0070, (2017/08/26)
The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis and relates to a method for preparing amino ether compounds. The method comprises the following steps: by taking amino alcohol as a raw material, protecting amino in the amino alcohol so as to obtain Schiff base; carrying out an etherification reaction on the hydroxyl group in the Schiff base; and finally, performing amino deprotection, thereby obtaining corresponding amino ethers. The method disclosed by the invention has high regio-selectivity, the substrates of higher than 99.9% are subjected to etherification reaction, the reaction conversion ratio of each step is higher than 99.8%, and the total yield is higher than 95%; when amino alcohol is chiral, the amino ethers with retention of configuration can be obtained; and moreover, each step of the method is a conventional operation, the process cost is low, and three wastes are few, the energy consumption is low, an environment-friendly effect is achieved, and large-scale industrial production is easily realized.
A practical aryl unit for azlactone dynamic kinetic resolution: Orthogonally protected products and a ligation-inspired coupling process
Tallon, Sean,Manoni, Francesco,Connon, Stephen J.
, p. 813 - 817 (2015/02/19)
The first strategy for bringing about enantioselective azlactone dynamic kinetic resolution to generate orthogonally protected amino acids has been developed. In the presence of a C2-symmetric squaramide-based catalyst, benzyl alcohol reacts with novel yet readily prepared tetrachloroisopropoxycarbonyl-substituted azlactones to generate trapped phthalimide products of significant synthetic interest with excellent enantiocontrol. These materials are masked amino acids which are demonstrably orthogonally protected: cleavage of the phthalimide can be achieved in the presence of the ester and vice versa. This process could be utilized to bring about a highly stereoselective ligation-type coupling of protected serines (at stoichiometric loadings) with racemic azlactones derived from both natural and abiotic amino acids. After deprotection, a subsequent base-mediated Oa??N acyl transfer occurs to form a dipeptide.

, p. 3200 - 3205 (2015/02/03)
A simple, mild and efficient strategy for selective hydrolytic cleavage of the N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group is devised using a protic ionic liquid as an efficient catalyst. The deprotection reaction proceeded well for N-Boc protected aromatic, heteroaromatic, aliphatic compounds, and chiral amino acid esters and peptides. A wide range of labile protecting groups such as tert-butyl ester, tert-butyl ether, benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), TBDMS, O-Boc and S-Boc remained unaffected under the reaction conditions. This journal is

Three different tetraphenylalanine (FFFF) based peptides that differ at the N- and C-termini have been synthesized by using standard procedures to study their ability to form different nanoassemblies under a variety of conditions. The FFFF peptide assembles into nanotubes that show more structural imperfections at the surface than those formed by the diphenylalanine (FF) peptide under the same conditions. Periodic DFT calculations (M06L functional) were used to propose a model that consists of three FFFF molecules defining a ring through head-to-tail NH3+?-OOC interactions, which in turn stack to produce deformed channels with internal diameters between 12 and 16 ?. Depending on the experimental conditions used for the peptide incubation, N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protected FFFF self-assembles into a variety of polymorphs: ultra-thin nanoplates, fibrils, and star-like submicrometric aggregates. DFT calculations indicate that Fmoc-FFFF prefers a parallel rather than an antiparallel β-sheet assembly. Finally, coexisting multiple assemblies (up to three) were observed for Fmoc-FFFF-OBzl (OBzl = benzyl ester), which incorporates aromatic protecting groups at the two peptide terminals. This unusual and noticeable feature is attributed to the fact that the assemblies obtained by combining the Fmoc and OBzl groups contained in the peptide are isoenergetic. Variety show! Three different tetraphenylalanine-based peptides that differ at the N- and C-termini have been synthesized by using standard procedures to study their ability to form different nanoassemblies (e.g., nanotubes, see figure) under a variety of conditions.
