Site-selective aqueous C-H acylation of tyrosine-containing oligopeptides with aldehydes.

ABSTRACT: The development of useful synthetic tools to label amino acids within a peptide framework for the ultimate modification of proteins in a late-stage fashion is a challenging task of utmost importance within chemical biology. Herein, we report the first Pd-catalyzed C-H acylation of a collection of Tyr-containing peptides with aldehydes. This water-compatible tagging technique is distinguished by its site-specificity, scalability and full tolerance of sensitive functional groups. Remarkably, it provides straightforward access to a high number of oligopeptides with altered side-chain topology including mimetics of endomorphin-2 and neuromedin N, thus illustrating its promising perspectives toward the diversification of structurally complex peptides and chemical ligation.

Pd-catalyzed site-selective C(sp2)-H radical acylation of phenylalanine containing peptides with aldehydes.

Project description:The site-selective functionalization of C-H bonds within a peptide framework remains a challenging task of prime synthetic importance. Herein, the first Pd-catalyzed ?-C(sp2)-H acylation of Phe containing peptides with aldehydes is described. This oxidative coupling is distinguished by its site-specificity, tolerance of sensitive functional groups, scalability, and enantiospecificity and exhibits entire chemoselectivity for Phe motifs over other amino acid units. The compatibility of this dehydrogenative acylation platform with a number of oligopeptides of high structural complexity illustrates its ample opportunities for the late-stage peptide modification and bioconjugation.

Aqueous microdroplets containing only ketones or aldehydes undergo Dakin and Baeyer-Villiger reactions.

Project description:The Dakin and Baeyer-Villiger (BV) oxidation reactions require addition of peroxides as oxidants and an acid or a base as a catalyst. Reaction times range from hours to days to obtain target products. Previously, we reported that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is spontaneously generated in water microdroplets without any added chemicals or applied electrical potential. Here, we report that the Dakin and BV reactions occur in modest yields within milliseconds in aqueous microdroplets at room-temperature without the addition of external peroxides and catalysts. H2O2 generation is the result of the special environment of the microdroplet surface, which promotes water autoionization. We find that increasing the content of water and decreasing the droplet size improve the product yield of the Dakin and BV reactions, supporting the contention that the amount of H2O2 generated in aqueous microdroplets could induce the two reactions and the reactions occur at or near the air-water interface of the microdroplet surface.

Site-selective acylation of natural products with BINOL-derived phosphoric acids.

Project description:The site-selective acylation of a steroidal natural product 19-hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone catalyzed by 1,1'-Bi(2-napthol)-derived (BINOL) chiral phosphoric acids (CPA's) is described. Systematic variation and multivariate linear regression analysis reveal that the same steric parameters typically needed for high enantioselectivity with this class of CPAs are also required for site-selectivity in this case. Density functional theory calculations identify additional weak CH-π interactions as contributors to site discrimination. We further report a rare example of site-selective acylation of phenols through the evaluation of naringenin, a flavonoid natural product, using CPA catalysis. These results suggest that BINOL-derived CPA's may have broader applications in site-selective catalysis.

Chloromethyl-triazole: a new motif for site-selective pseudo-acylation of proteins.

Project description:Rapid, site-selective modification of cysteine residues with chloromethyl-triazole derivatives generates pseudo-acyl sLys motifs, mimicking important post-translational modifications. Near-native biotinylation of peptide and protein substrates is shown to be site-selective and modified histone H4 retains functional activity.

Photoinduced site-selective alkenylation of alkanes and aldehydes with aryl alkenes.

Project description:The dehydrogenative alkenylation of C-H bonds with alkenes represents an atom- and step-economical approach for olefin synthesis and molecular editing. Site-selective alkenylation of alkanes and aldehydes with the C-H substrate as the limiting reagent holds significant synthetic value. We herein report a photocatalytic method for the direct alkenylation of alkanes and aldehydes with aryl alkenes in the absence of any external oxidant. A diverse range of commodity feedstocks and pharmaceutical compounds are smoothly alkenylated in useful yields with the C-H partner as the limiting reagent. The late-stage alkenylation of complex molecules occurs with high levels of site selectivity for sterically accessible and electron-rich C-H bonds. This strategy relies on the synergistic combination of direct hydrogen atom transfer photocatalysis with cobaloxime-mediated hydrogen-evolution cross-coupling, which promises to inspire additional perspectives for selective C-H functionalizations in a green manner.

S-Adamantyl Group Directed Site-Selective Acylation: Applications in Streamlined Assembly of Oligosaccharides.

Project description:The site-selective functionalization of carbohydrates is an active area of research. Reported here is the surprising observation that the sterically encumbered adamantyl group directed site-selective acylation at the C2 position of S-glycosides through dispersion interactions between the adamantyl C-H bonds and the π system of the cationic acylated catalyst, which may have broad implications in many other chemical reactions. Because of their stability, chemical orthogonality, and ease of activation for glycosylation, the site-selective acylation of S-glycosides streamlines oligosaccharide synthesis and will have wide applications in complex carbohydrate synthesis.

Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Site-Selective C(sp3 )-H Alkynylation of Oligopeptides: A Linchpin Approach for Oligopeptide-Drug Conjugation.

Project description:The palladium(II)-catalyzed C(sp3 )-H alkynylation of oligopeptides was developed with tetrabutylammonium acetate as a key additive. Through molecular design, the acetylene motif served as a linchpin to introduce a broad range of carbonyl-containing pharmacophores onto oligopeptides, thus providing a chemical tool for the synthesis and modification of novel oligopeptide-pharmacophore conjugates by C-H functionalization. Dipeptide conjugates with coprostanol and estradiol were synthesized by this method for potential application in targeted drug delivery to tumor cells with overexpressed nuclear hormone receptors.

Discovery of Kynurenines Containing Oligopeptides as Potent Opioid Receptor Agonists.

Project description:Kynurenine (kyn) and kynurenic acid (kyna) are well-defined metabolites of tryptophan catabolism collectively known as "kynurenines", which exert regulatory functions in host-microbiome signaling, immune cell response, and neuronal excitability. Kynurenine containing peptides endowed with opioid receptor activity have been isolated from natural organisms; thus, in this work, novel opioid peptide analogs incorporating L-kynurenine (L-kyn) and kynurenic acid (kyna) in place of native amino acids have been designed and synthesized with the aim to investigate the biological effect of these modifications. The kyna-containing peptide (KA1) binds selectively the m-opioid receptor with a Ki = 1.08 ± 0.26 (selectivity ratio m/d/k = 1:514:10000), while the L-kyn-containing peptide (K6) shows a mixed binding affinity for m, d, and k-opioid receptors, with efficacy and potency (Emax = 209.7 + 3.4%; LogEC50 = -5.984 + 0.054) higher than those of the reference compound DAMGO. This novel oligopeptide exhibits a strong antinociceptive effect after i.c.v. and s.c. administrations in in vivo tests, according to good stability in human plasma (t1/2 = 47 min).

Sequence-Selective Binding of Oligopeptides in Water through Hydrophobic Coding.

Project description:A general method for sequence-specific binding of peptides remains elusive despite decades of research. By creating an array of "hydrophobically coded dimples" on the surface of surface-core doubly cross-linked micelles, we synthesized water-soluble nanoparticle receptors to recognize peptides by the location, number, and nature of their hydrophobic side chains. Minute differences in the side chains could be distinguished, and affinities up to 20 nM were obtained for biologically active oligopeptides in water.
