2-Cyano-1-[4-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)butyl]-3-[2-(phenylsulfanyl)ethyl]guanidine (UR-PI376, 1) is a potent and selective agonist of the human histamine H4 receptor (hH4R). To gain information on the active conformation, we synthesized analogues of 1 with a cyclopentane-1,3-diyl linker. Affinities and functional activities were determined at recombinant hHxR (x: 1-4) subtypes on Sf9 cell membranes (radioligand binding, [35S]GTPγS, or GTPase assays) and in part in luciferase assays on human or mouse H4R (HEK-293 cells). The most potent H4R agonists among 14 racemates were separated by chiral HPLC, yielding eight enantiomerically pure compounds. Configurations were assigned based on X-ray structures of intermediates and a stereocontrolled synthetic pathway. (+)-2-Cyano-1-{[trans-(1S,3S)-3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)cyclopentyl]methyl}-3-[2-(phenylsulfanyl)ethyl]guanidine ((1S,3S)-UR-RG98, 39a) was the most potent H4R agonist in this series (EC50 11 nM; H4R vs H3R, >100-fold selectivity; H1R, H2R, negligible activities), whereas the optical antipode proved to be an H4R antagonist ([35S]GTPγS assay). MD simulations confirmed differential stabilization of the active and inactive H4R state by the enantiomers.
Cross-linked crystals of subtilisin: Versatile catalyst for organic synthesis

Cross-linked enzyme crystals (CLECs) of subtilisin exhibit excellent activity in aqueous and various organic solvents. This catalyst is more stable than the native enzyme in both aqueous and mixed aqueous/organic solutions. Subtilisin-CLEC was shown to be a versatile catalyst. It was used for the syntheses of peptides and peptidomimetics, mild hydrolysis of amino acid and peptide amides, enantio- and regioselective reactions, and transesterifications.
Enantioselective synthesis of (+) and (-)-cis-3-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acids by enzymatic asymmetrization

Both enantiomers of cis-3-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid (GABA analogs, inhibitory neurotransmitter) have been prepared via enzymatic asymmetrization of cis -1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid.
