Synthesis of triamino acid building blocks with different lipophilicities.

ABSTRACT: To obtain different amino acids with varying lipophilicity and that can carry up to three positive charges we have developed a number of new triamino acid building blocks. One set of building blocks was achieved by aminoethyl extension, via reductive amination, of the side chain of ortnithine, diaminopropanoic and diaminobutanoic acid. A second set of triamino acids with the aminoethyl extension having hydrocarbon side chains was synthesized from diaminobutanoic acid. The aldehydes needed for the extension by reductive amination were synthesized from the corresponding Fmoc-L-2-amino fatty acids in two steps. Reductive amination of these compounds with Boc-L-Dab-OH gave the C4-C8 alkyl-branched triamino acids. All triamino acids were subsequently Boc-protected at the formed secondary amine to make the monomers appropriate for the N-terminus position when performing Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis.

Glycomimetic building blocks: a divergent synthesis of epimers of shikimic acid.

Project description:A divergent synthesis of (-)-4-epi-shikimic acid was developed. This route features a one-pot zinc-mediated reductive ring opening of an arabinofuranose followed by a Barbier reaction and culminates in a ring-closing metathesis. Functionalization of (-)-4-epi-shikimic acid via conjugate addition of a thiol occurs in high diastereoselectivity to afford a product with the features of fucosylated glycans.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Functionalizable Type II β-Turn-Inducing α-Amino Acid Building Blocks.

Project description:Peptidomimetics are emerging as a promising class of potent and selective therapeutics. Among the current approaches to these compounds, the utilization of constrained lactams is a key element in enforcing the active peptide conformation, and the development of efficient and stereocontrolled methods for generating such lactam building blocks is an important objective. Current methods typically rely on the elaboration of existing α-amino acids, and in so doing, the side chain is sacrificed during the ring-forming process. We report a new asymmetric approach to lactam-constrained α-amino acid building blocks bearing a range of polar and hydrophobic side chains. The chemistry is amenable to rapidly generating di- and tripeptides, and the potential for these lactams to stabilize type II β-turns is demonstrated in the synthesis of the melanocyte-inhibiting factor peptidomimetic.

Synthesis and minisci reactions of organotrifluoroborato building blocks.

Project description:Copper-catalyzed borylation of a variety of organic halides with bis(pinacolato)diboron allows the preparation of diverse potassium organotrifluoroborates. The reactions are mild and general, providing access to a variety of interesting, boron-containing building blocks, including those containing piperidine, pyrrole, azetidine, tetrahydropyran, and oxetane substructures. Representative Minisci reactions are reported for select examples.

Ribozyme-catalysed RNA synthesis using triplet building blocks.

Project description:RNA-catalyzed RNA replication is widely believed to have supported a primordial biology. However, RNA catalysis is dependent upon RNA folding, and this yields structures that can block replication of such RNAs. To address this apparent paradox, we have re-examined the building blocks used for RNA replication. We report RNA-catalysed RNA synthesis on structured templates when using trinucleotide triphosphates (triplets) as substrates, catalysed by a general and accurate triplet polymerase ribozyme that emerged from in vitro evolution as a mutualistic RNA heterodimer. The triplets cooperatively invaded and unraveled even highly stable RNA secondary structures, and support non-canonical primer-free and bidirectional modes of RNA synthesis and replication. Triplet substrates thus resolve a central incongruity of RNA replication, and here allow the ribozyme to synthesise its own catalytic subunit '+' and '-' strands in segments and assemble them into a new active ribozyme.

Diversity-Oriented Enzymatic Synthesis of Cyclopropane Building Blocks.

Project description:While biocatalysis is increasingly incorporated into drug development pipelines, it is less commonly used in the early stages of drug discovery. By engineering a protein to produce a chiral motif with a derivatizable functional handle, biocatalysts can be used to help generate diverse building blocks for drug discovery. Here we show the engineering of two variants of Rhodothermus marinus nitric oxide dioxygenase (RmaNOD) to catalyze the formation of cis- and tran- diastereomers of a pinacolboronate-substituted cyclopropane which can be readily derivatized to generate diverse stereopure cyclopropane building blocks.

Synthesis of 9-Substituted Triptycene Building Blocks for Solid-Phase Diversification and Nucleic Acid Junction Targeting.

Project description:Triptycenes have been shown to bind nucleic acid three-way junctions, but rapid and efficient methods to diversify the triptycene core are lacking. An efficient synthesis of a 9-substituted triptycene scaffold is reported that can be used as a building block for solid-phase peptide synthesis and rapid diversification. The triptycene building block was diversified to produce a new class of tripeptide-triptycenes, and their binding abilities toward d(CAG)·(CTG) repeat junctions were investigated.

Design and synthesis of unnatural heparosan and chondroitin building blocks.

Project description:Triazole linked heparosan and chondroitin disaccharide and tetrasaccharide building blocks were synthesized in a stereoselective manner by applying a very efficient copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction of appropriately substituted azido-glucuronic acid and propargyluted N-acetyl glucosamine and N-acetyl galactosamine derivative, respectively. The resulting suitably substituted tetrasaccharide analogues can be easily converted into azide and alkyne unit for further synthesis of higher oligosaccharide analogues.

Versatile synthesis of pathogen specific bacterial cell wall building blocks.

Project description:Full details on the design, strategies and tactics for development of a novel synthetic sequence to farnesyl lipid I and II analogs is reported. The modular route was based on a three coupling strategy involving an efficient solid phase synthesis of the elaborate peptide fragment, which proceeded with excellent yield and stereoselectivity and was efficiently applied for the convergent synthesis of 3-lipid I and II. Furthermore, the generality of this route was demonstrated by synthesis of 3-lipid I congeners that are characteristic for S. aureus and E. faecalis. All 3-lipid I and II building blocks were obtained in high purity revealing high spectroscopic resolution.
