Carbohydrate Protease Conjugates: Stabilized Proteases for Peptide Synthesis

The synthesis of oligopeptides using stable carbohydrate protease conjugates (CPCs) was examined in acetonitrile solvent systems.CPC was used for the preparation of peptides containing histidine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan in the P1 position in 60-93percent yield.The CPC was used to synthesize peptides containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino acids.The P2 specificity of papain for aromatic residues was utilized for the 2 + 3 coupling of Z-Tyr-Gly-OMe to H2N-Gly-Phe-Leu-OH to generate the leucine enkephalin derivative in 79percent yield.Although papain is nonspecific for the hydrolysis of N-benzyloxycarbonyl amino acid methyl esters in aqueous solution, the rates of synthesis for these derivatives with nucleophile leucine tert-butyl ester differed by nearly 2 orders of magnitude.CPC was used to prepare the aspartame precursor Z-Asp-Phe-OMe in 90percent yield.The increased stability of CPCs prepared from periodate-modified poly(2-methacrylamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose), poly(2-methacrylamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose), and poly(5-methacrylamido-5-deoxy-D-ribose), carbohydrate materials designed to increase the aldehyde concentration in aqueous solution, suggests that the stability of CPCs is directly related to the aldehyde concentration of the carbohydrate material.Periodate oxidation of poly(2-methacrylamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose) followed by covalent attachment to α-chymotrypsin gave a CPC with catalytic activity in potassium phosphate buffer at 90 deg C for 2 h.

2(1H)-Pyridone as Leaving Group in Acylation Reactions - Applications in Peptide Synthesis

Alkyl 2-pyridyl carbonates 3 or mixtures of 3 and the isomeric N-(alkoxycarbonyl)-2-pyridones 3' are useful for the introduction of urethane protective groups into amino acids.The N-protected amino acids 7 - 10 react with 2(1H)-pyridone (1a) using the carbodiimide method to yield 2-pyridyl active esters 11, which easily undergo coupling reactions with amino acid esters 12 with elimination of 1a to give peptides 13 in good yields as well as high optical purities.
