Synthesis of cyclic endiamino peptides

Several building blocks for endiamino peptides, as well as several cyclic endiamino peptides themselves, and pyrazin-6-one, which embodies the endiamino group, were prepared. The variety of synthesized compounds shows the potential of this synthesis in the preparation of many different groups of compounds.     

New, simple method for synthesis of cystine peptides

A report is given on the conversion of S-trityl-cysteine-containing protected peptides to cystine peptides by a reaction with iodine in methanol. The new method permits the synthesis of symmetrical, open-chain unsymmetrical, and especially cyclic cystine peptides.     

Synthesis of conformationally constrained cyclic peptides using an intramolecular sonogashira coupling

[Reaction: see text]. Small peptides having a 3-bromobenzyl group at the C-termini and n-alkynoyl group at the N-termini undergo a smooth copper-free intramolecular Sonogashira coupling reaction to afford the corresponding cyclic peptides in moderate yields. Scope and limitations of this macrocyclization is demonstrated with di-, tri-, and tetrapeptides.     

High-throughput sequence determination of cyclic peptide library members by partial Edman degradation/mass spectrometry

Cyclic peptides provide attractive lead compounds for drug discovery and excellent molecular probes in biomedical research. Large combinatorial libraries of cyclic peptides can now be routinely synthesized by the split-and-pool method and screened against biological targets. However, post-screening sequence determination of hit peptides has been problematic. In this report, a high-throughput method for the sequence determination of cyclic peptide library members has been developed. TentaGel microbeads (90 mum) were spatially segregated into outer and inner layers; cyclic peptides were displayed on the bead surface, whereas the inner core of each bead contained the corresponding linear peptide as the encoding sequence. After screening of the cyclic peptide library against a macromolecular target, the identity of hit peptides was determined by sequencing the linear encoding peptides inside the bead using a partial Edman degradation/mass spectrometry method. On-bead screening of an octapeptide library (theoretical diversity of 160 000) identified cyclic peptides that bind to streptavidin. A 400-member library of tyrocidine A analogues was synthesized on TentaGel macrobeads and solution-phase screening of the library directly against bacterial cells identified a tyrocidine analogue of improved antibacterial activity. Our results demonstrate that the new method for cyclic peptide sequence determination is reliable, operationally simple, rapid, and inexpensive and should greatly expand the utility of cyclic peptides in biomedical research.     

Stereoselective synthesis of orthogonally protected alpha-methylnorlanthionine

[reaction: see text] As the unusual amino acid norlanthionine (nor-Lan) has previously been incorporated into cyclic peptide analogues of the ring C of lantibiotic nisin, we report here the stereoselective synthesis of the new (S,R)- and (R,R)-alpha-methylnorlanthionines (alpha-Me-nor-Lan). The orthogonally protected derivatives of these compounds have also been prepared. The key step in the synthesis of these bisamino acids was the S(N)2 opening reaction of the corresponding cyclic sulfamidates with the SH group of appropriately protected l-cysteine derivatives.     

New cyclic RGD peptides: synthesis,characterization, and theoretical activity towards αvβ3 integrin

Two new cyclic RGD peptides were prepared using a click chemistry approach. The linear RGDfV peptide was synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis using a 9-fluorenylmetoxicarbonyl (Fmoc) strategy and a 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin. After coupling 5-hexynoic acid the peptide was cleaved from the resin and linked to propargylamine. The bis-alkynyl RGDfV peptide was then reacted with two different bis-azides by treatment with copper iodide and triethylamine. These two cyclic RGD peptides were characterized by NMR and HRMS. In order to evaluate the interaction of these new compounds with integrin α_vβ₃ docking experiments were carried out and the results compared with those obtained with cyclo(RGDf[N–Me]V) (Cilengitide). The two new cyclic RGD peptides showed a higher affinity to the α_vβ₃ integrin when compared with Cilengitide thus representing two new potential integrin α_vβ₃ antagonists.     

Theoretical comparison of molecular properties of linear and cyclic glycine derived peptides and their phosphor analogues

The cyclic compounds are common in nature and widely spread in medicinal chemistry. The cyclopeptides have a special position for their having numerous advantages over their linear, parent peptides. Here, cyclic glycine derived peptides and their linear equivalents were computationally modelled and the molecular properties of both these groups of the compounds were compared. The phosphor analogues of these peptides were also modelled and the same properties were considered. The studies were done by the ab initio methods. The stability and strength of peptide bonds were calculated and the susceptibility of studied compounds to spontaneous oxidation was estimated.     

Activation of the amide group by acylation Hydroxy- and aminoacyl incorporation in peptide systems

A new reaction, the hydroxy- and aminoacyl incorporation in aliphatic and alicyclic N-hydrox-(amino)acl amides is described in detail. The reaction affording linear or cyclic peptides and depsipeptides proceeds via formation of cyclols. Its course depends on the nucleophilicity of the HO- and NH₂-groups, the electrophilicity of the amide carbonyl and, with cyclic amides, on the size of the ring. The cyclols which sometimes can be isolated display a number of unique properties, in particular, a tendency to undergo transformation into acylamides or macrocycles. Hydroxy- and aminoacyl incorporation is significant in the synthesis of peptides and depsipeptides. For example, it has been utilized in the synthesis of the antibiotic serratomolide and its analogues. A discussion of the biochemical and biogenetic implications of the reaction is given.     

Facile and Selective Synthesis of 4‐Methyl‐ and 4‐Phenylthiosemicarbazide (=N‐Methyl‐ and N‐Phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide) Derivatives of Benzil (=1,2‐Diphenylethane‐1,2‐dione)

A selective synthesis of 4‐methylthiosemicarbazide (=N‐methylhydrazinecarbothioamide; 4a ) derivatives by reaction with benzil (=1,2‐diphenylethane‐1,2‐dione; 3 ) is described. The reaction conditions determined the condensation product formed. The most important factor was the acid used: in the presence of conc. HCl solution, the open‐chain 2 : 1 compound 1a was exclusively obtained, whereas in the presence of 2M HCl, the cyclic 1 : 1 condensation product 2a was formed. The alcohol used, the presence of H₂O, and the time of heating were additional crucial factors. The new cyclic compound 2a with a MeO group was exclusively formed when working under high‐dilution conditions. The reaction with the 4‐phenyl derivative 4b gave new cyclic compounds as the major products under all conditions used (Scheme).     

Fragmentation and sequencing of cyclic peptides by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization post-source decay mass spectrometry.

A series of synthetic cyclic decapeptides and other smaller cyclic peptides were analyzed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The investigated compounds were cyclized in a head-to-tail manner and contained non-proteinaceous amino acids, such as D-phenylalanine, D,L-4-carboxyphenylalanine, epsilon-aminocaproic acid, and gamma-aminobutyric acid, and were synthesized in a program to develop inhibitors of pp60(c-src) (Src), a tyrosine kinase that is involved in signal transduction and growth regulation. Post-source decay (PSD) spectra of the cyclic peptides featured abundant sequence ions. Two preferential ring opening reactions were detected resulting in linear fragment ions with an N-terminus of proline and a C-terminus of glutamic acid, respectively. MALDI-PSD spectra even permitted de novo sequencing of some cyclic peptides. Systematic studies on cyclic peptides using this method of fragmentation have not been reported to date. This work presents an easy mass spectrometric method, MALDI-PSD, for the characterization and identification of cyclic peptides.     

Synthesis, conformational analysis and biological studies of cyclic cationic antimicrobial peptides containing sugar amino acids

Sugar amino acid based 24-membered macrocyclic C2-symmetric cationic peptides were designed and synthesized. The cationic group was introduced in the sugar amino acids. The conformation of these cyclic compounds was ascertained through NMR techniques, which proved they were amphipathic in nature. All the compounds were bacteriolytic, showed good activity against the Gr(+ve) and Gr(-ve) bacteria, and exhibited low hemolytic activity.     

Reactions of amines with bischloromethyltetramethyldisiloxane and its derivatives

Summary The reaction of bischloromethyltetramethyldisiloxane and its derivatives with mono- and di-amines was investigated, and it was shown that reaction proceeds with formation of cyclic compounds irrespective of the groups attached to the silicon atoms. Six new compounds were synthesized.     

Highly enantioselective construction of a chiral spirocyclic structure by the [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of diynes and exo-methylene cyclic compounds

The enantioselective [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of 1,6-diynes with alpha-methylene lactones and cyclic ketones gave various chiral spirocyclic compounds. The reaction proceeded with high enantioselectivity when the rhodium-xylylBINAP complex was used as a chiral catalyst. Not only exo-methylene cyclic compounds but also exo-methylene acyclic compounds could be used as coupling partners for diynes. The present protocol provides access to a new chiral library possessing a quaternary carbon center, including a spirocyclic system.     

Microwave‐assisted Three‐component Reactions for Regioselective Synthesis of Functionalized Benzo[e]indoles

Microwave‐assisted three‐component reactions of arylglyoxals with cyclic 1,3‐dicarbonyl compounds and naphthalen‐2‐amine have been established, by which a series of new functionalized benzo[e ]indoles with good yields were synthesized. The reaction was easily conducted in HOAc, enabling domino cyclization to construct three new σ‐bonds in a one‐pot operation. Flexible structural modification and broad functional group compatibility as well as mild reaction conditions make this strategy a useful and attractive process of library generation for drug discovery.     

Bis(acylsilanes) and trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane: a useful system for the synthesis of cyclic 2,2-difluoro-3-trialkylsilyl-1,3-ketols and cyclic 2-fluoro-1,3-diketones(1).

We report a one-pot reaction of bis(acylsilanes) with trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane (TFMTMS) leading to a new family of 2,2-difluoro-3-trialkylsilylketols 4. These compounds were submitted to a facile and effective defluorosilylation. The overall process constitutes a new synthesis of cyclic six- and seven-membered 2-fluoro-1,3-diketones 8, with regiospecific introduction of fluorine. The keto-enol equilibrium of cyclic 1,3-diketones and the mechanism of the defluorosilylation reaction were also studied.

Action d'organometalliques sur des dialcoxysilanes cycliques et acycliques

The reaction of various organometallics with cyclic and acyclic dialkoxysilanes has been studied.In the case of the acyclic compounds, phenyl-α-naphthylmethoxyborneoxy- and phenyl-α-naphthylmethoxycyclohexyloxy-silane, our results confirm those previously observed with phenyl-α-naphthylmethoxymethoxysilane. The reactions are selective. In ether, aromatic and saturated organomagnesium compounds substitute only the methoxy group with retention, but allylic and benzylic organomagnesium substitute the bulky alkoxy group with inversion.In THF and DME, irrespective of the type of organomagnesium compound, the methoxy group alone is substituted with retention of configuration.With the cyclic compounds, 2-methoxy-2-silaindane, both methoxy and menthoxy groups are substituted and our results confirm the tendency of cyclic derivatives to be substituted with retention of configuration.
