Synthesis of β-phenyl-δ,ε-unsaturated amino acids and stereoselective introduction of side chain groups into [4,3,0]-bicyclic β-turn dipeptides

(2S,3S)- and (2R,3R)-2-amino-3-phenyl-5-hexenoic acids have been synthesized in large scale by using Ni(II)-complexes as a template. The amino acids were used in the synthesis of [4,3,0]-bicyclic β-turn mimetics by a convergent methodology. The unique advantage of this strategy is the convenience of introducing side chain groups with predetermined chiralities on both the five- and six-membered heterocyclic rings.

Ligand Exchange Between Penta-Coordinated Phosphoryl Serine and Histidine Compounds

With the assistance of HPLC-ESI-MS/MS, the self-assembly products of serine and histidine penta-coordinated phosphorus compound were separated and identified. The expectative product was seryl-histidine dipeptide, but it was found that there was almost equimolar amount of histidyl-histidine dipeptide as well as seryl-histidine dipeptide. The mechanism was speculated that there was iigand exchange between penta-coordinated phosphoryl serine and histidine in the reaction process. As a result,two types of dipeptide were produced.

An Environmentally Benign System for Synthesis of β-Hydroxylketones： L-Histidine Asymmetrically Catalyzed Direct Aldol Reactions in Aqueous Micelle and Water-like Media

The first histidine catalyzed direct aldol reactions of ketones with nitrobenzaldehydes in water and in poly（ethylene glycol） （PEG） were reported. It reveals that histidine is a good aldol catalyst for synthesis of β-hydroxylketones in water and in PEG, giving good to excellent yields of the respective products. Better enantioand regioselectivity were achieved using low molecular weight PEG as the media. The results show that histidine and PEG-200 or -300 may constitute a promising environmentally benign system for asymmetric synthesis of β-hydroxylketones.     

Stability of Copper(II), Nickel(II) and Zinc(II) Binary and Ternary Complexes of Histidine,Histamine and Glycine in Aqueous Solution

The binary and mixed-ligand complexes formed between ligands (histidine (His), histamine (Him) and glycine (Gly)) and some transition metals (Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II)) were studied potentiometrically in aqueous solution at (25.0 ± 0.1) C and I = 0.10 M KCl in order to determine the protonation constants of the free ligands and stability constants of binary and ternary complexes. The complexation model for each system has been established by the software program BEST from the potentiometric data. The most probable binding mode for each binary species of histidine and for all mixed species was also discussed based upon derived equilibrium constants and stability constants related to the binary species. The ambidentate nature of the histidine ligand, i.e. the ability to coordinate histamine-like, imidazolepropionic acid-like and glycine-like modes was indicated from the results obtained. The stability of ternary complexes was quantitatively compared with their corresponding binary complexes in terms of the parameters, log K, log X and ₁₁₁₀. The concentration distributions of various species formed in solution were also evaluated. In terms of the nature of metal ion, the complex stability follows the trend Cu(II) > Ni(II) > Zn(II), which is in agreement with the Irving-Williams order of metal ions. Thus, the results obtained were compared and evaluated with those in the literature.     

Novel alginate-poly(L-histidine) microcapsules as drug carriers: in vitro protein release and short term stability

Spherical, smooth-surfaced and mechanically stable alginate-poly(L-histidine) (PLHis) microcapsules with narrow particle size distributions were prepared by incubating calcium alginate beads in aqueous solutions of PLHis. The in vitro release characteristics, drug loading and encapsulation efficiency of the microcapsules were investigated using bovine erythrocytes hemoglobin (Hb) as a model drug. The results showed that the concentration of Ca(2+) ions had a considerable effect on the drug loading, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release behavior of the microcapsules. When the concentration of CaCl(2) in the PLHis solution was increased from 0 to 3.0% (w/v), the drug loading and encapsulation efficiency decreased significantly from 38.0 to 4.3% and from 92.9 to 8.0%, respectively, while the total cumulative release of Hb from microcapsules in phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS, pH 6.8) decreased from 96.2 to 72.8% in 24 h. No significant protein release was observed during 70 h of incubation in hydrochloric acid solution (pH 1.2). However, under neutral conditions (PBS, pH 6.8), the Hb was completely and stably released within 24-70 h. An explosion test showed that the stability of alginate-PLHis microcapsules depended strongly on the concentration of PLHis and the calcium ions in solution.
