Solid-Phase Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of a Teleocidin Library—Discovery of a Selective PKC Down Regulator

2000

Protein kinaseC (PKC) is linked to the signal-induced modulation of a wide variety of cellular processes, such as growth, differentiation, secretion, apoptosis, and tumor development. The design and synthesis of small molecules that regulate these different cellular signaling systems is at the forefront of modern drug design. Herein we report a) an efficient method for the synthesis of indolactamV (6), a PKC activator, and its N13-des(methyl) analogues (19) using a regioselective organometallic transformation, a convenient aminomalonate derivative (10) to introduce the appropriate functionality and an enantiospecific enzymic hydrolysis as key steps; b) the use of this method in the first so…

Chemoenzymatic-Chemical Synthesis of a (2-3)-Sialyl T Threonine Building Block and Its Application to the Synthesis of the N-Terminal Sequence of Leu…

2001

Protection of all functional groups of the carbohydrate portion of the chemoenzymatically synthesized sialyl T threonine ester 1 (R=R1 =H, R2 =tBu, Fmoc=9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) and subsequent acidolysis of the tert-butyl ester afforded the building block 2 (R=Ac, R1 =Me, R2 =H). The latter is a useful tool in the solid-phase synthesis of the N-terminal sequence 3 of the leukemia-associated leukosialin.

Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-ProtectedO-Glycosyl-N-methyl Amino Acids: Building Blocks for the Synthesis of Conformationally Tuned Glycopeptide Antigens

2015

Peptide antibiotics often contain N-methylated amino acids. These N-methylamino components enhance the metabolic stability and strongly influence the conformational behavior of these peptide drugs. N-Methyl-O-glycosyl amino acids, in particular, threonine and serine derivatives, are unknown so far. Fmoc-protected N-methyl-O-glycosyl-threonine and -serine building blocks, including sialyl TN antigens, have been synthesized for the first time by converting the Fmoc-protected O-glycosyl amino acids or their tert-butyl esters into the corresponding oxazolidinones followed by reductive ring-opening. These new components are considered interesting for the construction of modified mucin glycopepti…

Receptor-mediated uptake of boron-rich neuropeptide y analogues for boron neutron capture therapy.

2014

Peptidic ligands selectively targeting distinct G protein-coupled receptors that are highly expressed in tumor tissue represent a promising approach in drug delivery. Receptor-preferring analogues of neuropeptide Y (NPY) bind and activate the human Y1 receptor subtype (hY1 receptor), which is found in 90% of breast cancer tissue and in all breast-cancer-derived metastases. Herein, novel highly boron-loaded Y1 -receptor-preferring peptide analogues are described as smart shuttle systems for carbaboranes as (10) B-containing moieties. Various positions in the peptide were screened for their susceptibility to carbaborane modification, and the most promising positions were chosen to create a mu…

Synthesis of Tn/T Antigen MUC1 Glycopeptide BSA Conjugates and Their Evaluation as Vaccines

2011

The tumor-associated mucin MUC1 over-expressed in most epithelial tumor tissues is considered a promising target for immunotherapy. The extracellular part of MUC1 contains a domain of numerous tandem repeats of the amino acid sequence HGVTSAPDTRPAPGSTAPPA, including five potential O-glycosylation sites. In this study, T9 and S15 have been chosen as the positions of glycosylation. The glycopeptides N-terminally equipped with a triethylene glycol spacer were synthesized by microwave-assisted Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis. After detachment from the resin and deprotection, the MUC1 glycopeptides were conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA). To evaluate the immunological properties, balb/c…

ChemInform Abstract: Solution versus Fluorous versus Solid-Phase Synthesis of 2,5-Disubstituted 1,3-Azoles. Preliminary Antibacterial Activity Studie…

2010

A small library of compounds with an oxa(thia)zole scaffold and structural diversity in both positions 2 and 5 has been synthesized. Double acylation of a protected glycine affords intermediate alpha-amido-beta-ketoesters, which in turn can be dehydrated to afford 1,3-oxazoles or reacted with Lawesson's reagent to furnish 1,3-thiazoles. This procedure was designed with its adaptation to fluorous techniques in mind. Thus, when a protected glycine with a fluorous tag in the ester moiety is used as a starting material, the synthesis can be easily completed without column chromatography purification of intermediate compounds with good to excellent yields, thus affording a suitable entry to the …

Stereocontrolled solid-phase synthesis of fluorinated partially-modified retropeptides via tandem aza-Michael/enolate-protonation

2003

N-Acylation of Wang resin-bound l-α-amino acids with 2-trifluoromethyl-propenoyl chloride, followed by asymmetric tandem aza-Michael/enolate-protonation by a series of l-α-amino esters and final release from the resin, afforded a representative library of partially-modified retropeptides incorporating a stereodefined trifluoroalanine surrogate. The stereocontrol can be dramatically improved (up to 15:1) by using apolar solvents like carbon tetrachloride and DABCO as base.
