Bioactive peptides are emerging as promising candidates of clinic therapeutics. Here, we report a method for late-stage functionalization of sulfonamide-containing peptides through Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)–H arylation. In this protocol, the backbones of N-sulfonated peptides act as directing groups, which allows site-specific arylation of benzylsulfonamide moiety. This chemistry exhibits broad substrate

Adenoviral infections are associated with a wide range of acute diseases, among which ocular viral conjunctivitis (EKC) and disseminated disease in immunocompromised patients. To date, no approved specific anti-adenoviral drug is available, but there is a growing need for an effective treatment of such infections. The adenoviral protease, adenain, plays a crucial role for the viral lifecycle and thus represents an attractive therapeutic target. Structure-guided design with the objective to depeptidize tetrapeptide nitrile 1 led to the novel chemotype 2. Optimization of scaffold 2 resulted in picomolar adenain inhibitors 3a and 3b. In addition, a complementary series of irreversible vinyl sulfone containing inhibitors were rationally designed, prepared and evaluated against adenoviral protease. High resolution X-ray co-crystal structures of representatives of each series proves the successful design of these inhibitors and provides an excellent basis for future medicinal chemistry optimization of these compounds.

Disclosed herein are methods of performing continuous directed evolution in complex biological systems, including metazoan cells. These methods include the infection of engineered, non-naturally occurring metazoan cells with engineered, non-naturally occurring DNA viruses. The generation of infectious viruses that can infect new cells depends on the evolution of a gene of interest which is driven by an error-prone adenoviral polymerase. Also disclosed herein, are the compositions of engineered, non-naturally occurring metazoan cells and engineered, non-naturally occurring DNA viruses that function as components in the continuous directed evolution methodologies.
