N-Amino-imidazolin-2-one peptide mimic synthesis and conformational analysis.

ABSTRACT: Base-promoted 5-exo-dig cyclizations of aza-propargylglycinamides provided N-amino-imidazolin-2-one peptide mimics, which exhibited turn geometry in X-ray crystallographic and NMR spectroscopic analyses. Sonogashira coupling prior to cyclization afforded N-amino-imidazolin-2-ones with diverse 4-position aromatic substituents with potential to serve as Phe and Trp mimics.

Using DelPhi capabilities to mimic protein's conformational reorganization with amino acid specific dielectric constants.

Project description:Many molecular events are associated with small or large conformational changes occurring in the corresponding proteins. Modeling such changes is a challenge and requires significant amount of computing time. From point of view of electrostatics, these changes can be viewed as a reorganization of local charges and dipoles in response to the changes of the electrostatic field, if the cause is insertion or deletion of a charged amino acid. Here we report a large scale investigation of modeling the changes of the folding energy due to single mutations involving charged group. This allows the changes of the folding energy to be considered mostly electrostatics in origin and to be calculated with DelPhi assigning residue-specific value of the internal dielectric constant of protein. The predicted energy changes are benchmarked against experimentally measured changes of the folding energy on a set of 257 single mutations. The best fit between experimental values and predicted changes is used to find out the effective value of the internal dielectric constant for each type of amino acid. The predicted folding free energy changes with the optimal, amino acid specific, dielectric constants are within RMSD=0.86 kcal/mol from experimentally measured changes.

Amino-acyl tXNA as inhibitors or amino acid donors in peptide synthesis.

Project description:Xenobiotic nucleic acids (XNAs) offer tremendous potential for synthetic biology, biotechnology, and molecular medicine but their ability to mimic nucleic acids still needs to be explored. Here, to study the ability of XNA oligonucleotides to mimic tRNA, we synthesized three L-Ala-tXNAs analogs. These molecules were used in a non-ribosomal peptide synthesis involving a bacterial Fem transferase. We compared the ability of this enzyme to use amino-acyl tXNAs containing 1',5'-anhydrohexitol (HNA), 2'-fluoro ribose (2'F-RNA) and 2'-fluoro arabinose. L-Ala-tXNA containing HNA or 2'F-RNA were substrates of the Fem enzyme. The synthesis of peptidyl-XNA and the resolution of their structures in complex with the enzyme show the impact of the XNA on protein binding. For the first time we describe functional tXNA in an in vitro assay. These results invite to test tXNA also as substitute for tRNA in translation.

Synthesis of N-peptide-6-amino-D-luciferin Conjugates.

Project description:A general strategy for the synthesis of N-peptide-6-amino-D-luciferin conjugates has been developed. The applicability of the strategy was demonstrated with the preparation of a known substrate, N-Z-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-6-amino-D-luciferin (N-Z-DEVD-aLuc). N-Z-DEVD-aLuc was obtained via a hybrid liquid/solid phase synthesis method, in which the appropriately protected C-terminal amino acid was coupled to 6-amino-2-cyanobenzothiazole and the resulting conjugate was reacted with D-cysteine in order to get the protected amino acid-6-amino-D-luciferin conjugate, which was then attached to resin. The resulting loaded resin was used for the solid-phase synthesis of the desired N-peptide-6-amino-D-luciferin conjugate without difficulties, which was then attested with NMR spectroscopy and LC-MS, and successfully tested in a bioluminescent system.

Conformational space and vibrational spectra of 2-[(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)amino]-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one.

Project description:In this work we present the results of a study of the X-ray structure of 2-[(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)amino]-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one. Using the FTIR spectra in solid state and results of ab initio calculations we explain the issue of the tautomerism of this molecule. The compound is shown to exist as the 2-amino tautomer rather 2-imino tautomer. Here we consider eight possible tautomers. On the basis of the vibrational spectra we can eliminate five possible tautomers, as not existing in the solid state. As the most possible tautomeric form we have found keto 2-amino form.

Synthesis and conformational analysis of linear homo- and heterooligomers from novel 2-C-branched sugar amino acids (SAAs).

Project description:Sugar amino acids (SAAs), as biologically interesting structures bearing both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups represent an important class of multifunctional building blocks. In this study, we develop an easy access to novel SAAs in only three steps starting from nitro compounds in high yields in analytically pure form, easily available by ceric (IV) mediated radical additions. Such novel SAAs have been applied in the assembly of total nine carbopeptoids with the form of linear homo- and heterooligomers for the structural investigations employing circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, which suggest that the carbopeptoids emerge a well-extended, left (or right)-handed conformation similar to polyproline II (PPII) helices. NMR studies also clearly demonstrated the presence of ordered secondary structural elements. 2D-ROESY spectra were acquired to identify i+1 NH ↔ i C 1 H, i C 2 H correlations which support the conformational analysis of tetramers by CD spectroscopy. These findings provide interesting information of SAAs and their oligomers as potential scaffolds for discovering new drugs and materials.

Multicomponent versus domino reactions: One-pot free-radical synthesis of ?-amino-ethers and ?-amino-alcohols.

Project description:Following an optimized multicomponent procedure, an aryl amine, a ketone, and a cyclic ether or an alcohol molecule are assembled in a one-pot synthesis by nucleophilic radical addition of ketyl radicals to ketimines generated in situ. The reaction occurs under mild conditions by mediation of the TiCl4/Zn/t-BuOOH system, leading to the formation of quaternary ?-amino-ethers and -alcohols. The new reaction conditions guarantee good selectivity by preventing the formation of secondary products. The secondary products are possibly derived from a competitive domino reaction, which involves further oxidation of the ketyl radicals.

Liquid Phase Peptide Synthesis via One-Pot Nanostar Sieving (PEPSTAR).

Project description:Herein, a one-pot liquid phase peptide synthesis featuring iterative addition of amino acids to a "nanostar" support, with organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) for isolation of the growing peptide after each synthesis cycle is reported. A cycle consists of coupling, Fmoc removal, then sieving out of the reaction by-products via nanofiltration in a reactor-separator, or synthesizer apparatus where no phase or material transfers are required between cycles. The three-armed and monodisperse nanostar facilitates both efficient nanofiltration and real-time reaction monitoring of each process cycle. This enabled the synthesis of peptides more efficiently while retaining the full benefits of liquid phase synthesis. PEPSTAR was validated initially with the synthesis of enkephalin-like model penta- and decapeptides, then octreotate amide and finally octreotate. The crude purities compared favorably to vendor produced samples from solid phase synthesis.

One-Step Synthesis of 3-(Fmoc-amino acid)-3,4-diaminobenzoic Acids.

Project description:A one-step method for synthesizing 3-(Fmoc-amino acid)-3,4-diaminobenzoic acids was used to prepare preloaded diaminobenzoate resin. The coupling of free diaminobenzoic acid and Fmoc-amino acids gave pure products in 40-94% yield without any purification step in addition to precipitation except for histidine. For the proline residue, crude products were collected and used for solid-phase peptide synthesis to give a moderate yield of a pentapeptide. In addition, this method was used to prepare unusual amino acid derivatives, namely, (2-naphthyl) alanine and 6-aminohexanoic acid derivatives, in 50 and 65% yield, respectively.

One-pot synthesis of 2-amino-indole-3-carboxamide and analogous.

Project description:An efficient one-pot, two-step solution-phase synthetic method was developed to synthesize twenty-three 2-amino-indole-3-carboxamides (3) from 2-halonitrobenzene (1) or heterocyclic analogous and cyanoacetamides (2). In this sequence, first, intermediate 2-cyano-2-(2-nitrophenyl)acetamide (4) was generated under basic condition via S(NAr) reaction; after direct addition of hydrochloric acid solution, FeCl(3), and Zn powder, indole 3 was generated via reduction/cyclization process.
