The biochemical basis for the deleterious effects of l-canavanine
摘要:
L-Canavanine, L-2-amino-4-(guanidinooxy)butyric acid, is a potentially toxic analogue of L-arginine. Canavanine-sensitive organisms activate and aminoacylate this non-protein amino acid and thereby create structurally aberrant, canavanine-containing proteins. Incorporation of canavanine into protein can alter the conformation and disrupt the function of the native macromolecule. Production of functionally impaired, canavanyl proteins affects developmental processes and contributes significantly to the expression of canavanine's potent antimetabolic properties in insects.

Abstract An improved synthesis of the 7,6‐fused bicyclic lactam is presented starting from readily available chiral starting materials. (S)‐allylglycine is protected as the phthalimide derivative and coupled with (S)‐2‐amino‐6‐hydroxyhexanoic acid methyl ester. Oxidation of the hydroxyl group to the aldehyde followed by enamide synthesis and acyl iminium ion cyclization provide the bicyclic system

L-6-Hydroxynorleucine, a key chiral intermediate used for synthesis of a vasopeptidase inhibitor, was prepared in 89% yield and > 99% optical purity by reductive amination of 2-keto-6-hydroxyhexanoic acid using glutamate dehydrogenase from beef liver. In an alternate process, racemic 6-hydroxynorleucine produced by hydrolysis of 5-(4-hydroxybutyl)hydantoin was treated with D-amino acid oxidase to prepare a

MDL 28,726 is a key intermediate in the synthesis of the ACE inhibitors MDL 27,210A and MDL 100,240, An efficient nine-step synthesis of this tricyclic acid, which has three chiral centers, was developed beginning with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran. A key step in the synthesis features an enzyme-catalyzed resolution of the lithium salt of the N-trifluoroacetamide of (R,S)-6-hydroxynorleucine. All of the steps were optimized and completed in reactor equipment using environmentally acceptable processes. Process development of this route is described.
