A molecular probe with L-phenylalanine p-nitroanilide and L-lysin 4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide, in which these amino acid derivatives are connected through a succinic-acid spacer, was prepared. Trypsin and papain were detected by blue-fluorescence emission of generated 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC). α-Chymotrypsin and nattokinase were detected from both the blue-fluorescence emission of AMC and the UV absorbance of p-nitroaniline. In addition, different time courses of p-nitroaniline and AMC were observed between the reaction of P1 with α-chymotrypsin and that with nattokinase. In the case of nattokinase, both the fluorescence emission and UV absorbance slowly increased. In contrast, the increasing UV absorbance was saturated at the early stage of the reaction of the present probe with chymotrypsin, whereas the fluorescence emission continuously increased in the following stages.
Unexpected Reactivity of N-Acyl-Benzotriazoles with Aromatic Amines in Acidic Medium (ABAA Reaction)

, p. 85 - 90 (2019/01/04)
Despite the large number of methods for the synthesis of amides, formation of the amide bond from aromatic amines has always been a challenge for organic chemists due to their weak nucleophile character. We describe here a new efficient method of amide formation from N-Acyl-Benzotriazoles and Aromatic Amines (ABAA reaction) including aniline derivatives, in acidic conditions. This reaction is selective for aromatic amines, since aliphatic amines did not react under the same experimental conditions. Using the ABAA reaction, we have synthesized a series of aromatic amide compounds including labelled enzyme substrates, in excellent yield. The ABAA reaction also allowed the one-pot synthesis of Nordiazepam, which is a precursor of the anxiolytic Diazepam (Valium). This procedure opens new ways of synthesis of amides from aromatic amines, as well as of heterocyclic structures.
Amidase activity of phosphonate analogue imprinted chymotrypsin mimics in shape-selective, substrate-specific and enantioselective amidolysis of l-phenylalanine-p-nitroanilides

Focusing on chymotrypsin mimics, highly crosslinked enzyme mimics are synthesized by molecular imprinting technique for the amidolysis of p-nitroanilide of phenylalanine, using phenyl-1-(N-benzyloxycarbonylamino)-2-(phenyl)ethyl phosphonate - the transition state analog of amidolysis - as the template, N-methacryloyl-l-histidine, N-methacryloyl-l-aspartic acid, and N-methacryloyl-l-serine as the functional monomers and EGDMA as the crosslinking agent. The amidase activity of the enzyme mimics follows pseudo first order kinetics. The transition state analog provides a tetrahedral geometry complementary to the transition state intermediate, which is responsible for the catalytic activity of the imprinted enzyme mimics. The enzyme mimics show stereospecificity and substrate selectivity in the amidolysis of phenylalanine p-nitroanilide. The proper orientation of the reactive functionalities in the super crosslinked macroporous polymer matrix for selective binding of the substrate through H-bonding is responsible for the high imprinting efficiency and substrate specificity of the imprinted polymer catalysts. Low cost, ease of preparation, high thermal stability, reusability and higher shelf life make the polymer catalysts better chymotrypsin mimics.

Rapeseed plays a crucial role in food and fuel industry. Since aminopeptidases take part in many physiological processes in all organisms, it is important to learn their role and characteristics in economically relevant plants. Extracts of non-germinated winter rape seeds were screened for aminopeptidase activity. Substrate specificity, the influence of pH and temperature, as well as effect of protease inhibitors and chosen metal ions on the aminopeptidase activity were determined. The approximate molecular weight estimated by NATIVE-PAGE and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis was ～60 kDa. The partially purified enzyme as well as the aminopeptidases present in crude extract cleaved preferentially Phe-pNA. The activity profiles toward several substrates were also determined. Maximum activity was observed at pH 6.5 and temperature of 40 °C for Phe-pNA as a substrate. Two visible picks in the pH profile toward Phe-pNA, together with other results (IEF) suggest the presence of more than one aminopeptidase, having similar molecular mass. Much lower activity and broad pH profiles were observed for Leu- and Ala-pNA as substrates.
An efficient synthesis of Nα-protected amino and peptide acid aryl amides via iodine-mediated oxidative acylation of N α-protected amino and peptide thioacids

, p. 2727 - 2736 (2013/10/21)
Thioacids derived from N-protected amino or dipeptide and tripeptide acids undergo facile N-acylation with aromatic amines to afford N-protected amino or peptide aryl amides in good to excellent yields and enantiopurities. The method also furnishes difficult-to-prepare N-Fmoc amino acid 4-nitroanilides in good yields. This simple oxidative Nα-acylation of thioacids with aromatic amines proceeds in the presence of iodine, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and N,N-diisopropylethylamine at room temperature in tetrahydrofuran.

Aminoacyl p-nitroaniline (aminoacyl-pNA) and aminoacyl 7-amino-4- methylcoumarin (aminoacyl-AMC) are important synthons for the synthesis of chromogenic/fluorogenic protease substrates. A new efficient method was developed to synthesize aminoacylpNA and aminoacyl-AMC derivatives in excellent yields starting from either amino acids or their corresponding commercially available N-hydroxysuccinimide esters. The method involved the in situ formation of selenocarboxylate intermediate of protected amino acids and the subsequent non-nucleophilic amidation with an azide. Common protecting groups used in amino acid/peptide chemistry were all well-tolerated. The method was also successfully applied to the synthesis of a dipeptide conjugate, indicating that the methodology is applicable to the synthesis of chromogenic substrates containing short peptides. The method has general applicability to the synthesis of chromogenic and fluorogenic peptide substrates and represents a convenient and high-yield synthesis of Nα-protected-aminoacyl-pNAs/AMCs, providing easy access to these important synthons for the construction of chromogenic/ fluorogenic protease substrates through fragment condensation or stepwise elongation.
Synthesis of 2-(4-carboxybutenyl)- and 2-(4-carboxybutynyl)-cyclopentene-1-carboxamides
Beauchard, Anne,Phillips, Victoria A.,Lloyd, Matthew D.,Threadgill, Michael D.
experimental part, p. 8176 - 8184 (2009/12/24)
Syntheses of 2-(4-carboxybut-1-enyl/4-carboxypent-1-ynyl)cyclopentene-1-carboxamides, compounds designed to mimic the phosphoSer-Pro dipeptide motif (the recognition sequence for the prolyl cis-trans isomerase Pin1), have been developed. Stille, Sonogashira and Suzuki couplings were envisaged to join the pentynoic and pentenoic acid side chains to the 2-position of cyclopentene-1-carboxylate esters. The ring- and side-chain carboxylic acids required orthogonal protection for later attachment of a Ph-NH(4-nitrophenyl) unit to the cyclopentene-1-carbonyl. The cyclopentenecarboxylates were unmasked and standard PyBOP peptide coupling afforded the target compounds. Comparisons of two routes using But and Me esters are reported.

Local and tunable n→π* interactions regulate amide isomerism in the peptoid backbone

, p. 8928 - 8929 (2008/02/09)
We report that n→π* interactions are operative in peptoids and play a major role in controlling amide isomerism. These interactions can be tuned using α-chiral amide side chains known to promote peptoid folding. To our knowledge, this is the first report of n→π* interactions between amides in non-prolyl systems. Furthermore, we have characterized an n→π* interaction between backbone carbonyls and side chain aromatic rings that can dramatically stabilize the cis-amides required for peptoid helix formation. The tunability of both types of n→π* interactions in peptoids has significant implications for peptoid folding and could be exploited for the design of new peptoid architectures. Copyright
A convenient synthesis of amino acid p-nitroanilides; synthons in the synthesis of protease substrates
Rijkers, Dirk T. S.,Adams, Hans P. H. M.,Hemker, H. Coenraad,Tesser, Godefridus I.
, p. 11235 - 11250 (2007/10/02)
A method is described for the synthesis of N(α)-protected bi- and trifunctional amino acid p-nitroanilides. The reaction uses phosphorus oxychloride as the condensing agent. The synthesis is simple, rapid, free of racemization and affords yields between 70-90%. The synthesis can be performed not only with amino acid derivatives of the urethane type including acid-labile (Z, Boc) and base-labile (Fmoc, Msc) N(α)-protective functions or allyl-derived protections, but also with N(α)-trityl amino acids, albeit in lower yield. The reaction runs in pyridine and its mechanism implies carboxyl activation by formation of a mixed anhydride with phosphorodichloridic acid (HOPOCl2).
