Convenient Genetic Encoding of Phenylalanine Derivatives through Their α-Keto Acid Precursors.

ABSTRACT: The activity and function of proteins can be improved by incorporation of non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs). To avoid the tedious synthesis of a large number of chiral phenylalanine derivatives, we synthesized the corresponding phenylpyruvic acid precursors. Escherichia coli strain DH10B and strain C321.ΔA.expΔPBAD were selected as hosts for phenylpyruvic acid bioconversion and genetic code expansion using the MmPylRS/^pyltRNA_CUA system. The concentrations of keto acids, PLP and amino donors were optimized in the process. Eight keto acids that can be biotransformed and their coupled genetic code expansions were identified. Finally, the genetic encoded ncAAs were tested for incorporation into fluorescent proteins with keto acids.

Expedient synthesis of threo-beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acid derivatives: phenylalanine, tyrosine, histidine, and tryptophan.

Project description:An expedient synthesis of enantiomerically pure threo-beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acid derivatives of phenylalanine, tyrosine, histidine, and tryptophan is described. The NBS-mediated radical bromination of the N,N-di-tert-butoxycarbonyl protected alpha-amino acids and subsequent treatment with silver nitrate in acetone provided the trans-oxazolidinones predominantly. Cesium carbonate catalyzed hydrolysis then generated the beta-hydroxy amino acid derivatives in excellent overall yield.

Highly brominated anthracenes as precursors for the convenient synthesis of 2,9,10-trisubstituted anthracene derivatives.

Project description:When 9,10-dibromoanthracene was treated with bromine in CCl(4) without a catalyst, 1,2,3,4,9,10-hexabromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroanthracene (3) was obtained in 95% yield in the absence of other stereoisomers or rearomatization products. We investigated the base-induced elimination reaction of hexabromide 3 under various conditions. Pyridine-induced elimination of hexabromide 3 afforded 2,9,10-tribromoanthracene (12) in 75% yield, and tribromide 12 was transformed to trimethoxy compound 13 and trinitrile 14 by copper-assisted nucleophilic substitution reactions.

A convenient enantioselective decarboxylative aldol reaction to access chiral α-hydroxy esters using β-keto acids.

Project description:We show a convenient decarboxylative aldol process using a scandium catalyst and a PYBOX ligand to generate a series of highly functionalized chiral α-hydroxy esters. The protocol tolerates a broad range of β-keto acids with inactivated aromatic and aliphatic α-keto esters. The possible mechanism is rationalized.

Genetic Encoding of Arylazopyrazole Phenylalanine for Optical Control of Translation.

Project description:An arylazopyrazole was explored for its use as an enhanced photoswitchable amino acid in genetic code expansion. This new unnatural amino acid was successfully incorporated into proteins in both bacterial and mammalian cells. While photocontrol of translation required pulsed irradiations, complete selectivity for the trans-configuration by the pyrrolysyl tRNA synthetase was observed, demonstrating expression of a gene of interest selectively controlled via light exposure.

Stereoselective synthesis of unnatural α-amino acid derivatives through photoredox catalysis.

Project description:A protocol for stereoselective C-radical addition to a chiral glyoxylate-derived N-sulfinyl imine was developed through visible light-promoted photoredox catalysis, providing a convenient method for the synthesis of unnatural α-amino acids. The developed protocol allows the use of ubiquitous carboxylic acids as radical precursors without prior derivatization. The protocol utilizes near-stoichiometric amounts of the imine and the acid radical precursor in combination with a catalytic amount of an organic acridinium-based photocatalyst. Alternative mechanisms for the developed transformation are discussed and corroborated by experimental and computational studies.

N-Benzoyl anthranilic acid derivatives as selective inhibitors of aldo-keto reductase AKR1C3.

Project description:Human aldo-keto reductases AKR1C1-AKR1C3 are involved in the biosynthesis and inactivation of steroid hormones and prostaglandins and thus represent attractive targets for the development of new drugs. We synthesized a series of N-benzoyl anthranilic acid derivatives and tested their inhibitory activity on AKR1C enzymes. Our data show that these derivatives inhibit AKR1C1-AKR1C3 isoforms with low micromolar potency. In addition, five selective inhibitors of AKR1C3 were identified. The most promising inhibitors were compounds 10 and 13, with IC(50) values of 0.31 μM and 0.35 μM for AKR1C3, respectively.

Enantioselective synthesis of α-amino ketones through palladium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of α-keto imines.

Project description:Chiral α-amino ketones are common structural motifs in natural products and pharmaceuticals, as well as important synthons in organic synthesis. Thus, establishing efficient methods for preparing compounds with these privileged scaffolds is an important endeavor in synthetic chemistry. Herein we disclose a new catalytic asymmetric approach for the synthesis of chiral α-amino ketones through a chiral palladium-catalyzed arylation reaction of in situ generated challenging α-keto imines from previously unreported C-acyl N-sulfonyl-N,O-aminals, with arylboronic acids. The current reaction offers a straightforward approach to the asymmetric synthesis of acyclic α-amino ketones in a practical and highly stereocontrolled manner. Meanwhile, the multiple roles of the chiral Pd(ii) complex catalyst in the reaction were also reported.

Metal free oxidation of vinamidine derivatives: a simple synthesis of α-keto-β-diimine ligands.

Project description:Oxidation of vinamidinium salts with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid is the key synthetic step towards new persistent 1,3-di(amino)oxyallyl radical cations. When applied to parent vinamidines, this protocol allows for a simple straightforward synthesis of α-keto-β-diimine ligands, for which no convenient synthesis was previously available.

?-Phenylalanine Ester Synthesis from Stable ?-Keto Ester Substrate Using Engineered ?-Transaminases.

Project description:The successful synthesis of chiral amines from ketones using ?-transaminases has been shown in many cases in the last two decades. In contrast, the amination of ?-keto acids is a special and relatively new challenge, as they decompose easily in aqueous solution. To avoid this, transamination of the more stable ?-keto esters would be an interesting alternative. For this reason, ?-transaminases were tested in this study, which enabled the transamination of the ?-keto ester substrate ethyl benzoylacetate. Therefore, a ?-transaminase library was screened using a coloring o-xylylenediamine assay. The ?-transaminase mutants 3FCR_4M and ATA117 11Rd show great potential for further engineering experiments aiming at the synthesis of chiral (S)- and (R)-?-phenylalanine esters. This alternative approach resulted in the conversion of 32% and 13% for the (S)- and (R)-enantiomer, respectively. Furthermore, the (S)-?-phenylalanine ethyl ester was isolated by performing a semi-preparative synthesis.
