Biotransformation of a series of racemic N-benzoyl alpha-amino acids by the fungus Beauveria bassiana ATCC 7159 results in isolation of the corresponding D-amino acid benzamides in high enantiomeric purity and yield.

promising strategy for the treatment of ischemicstroke, as shown with peptide‐based compounds that target the PDZ domains of PSD‐95. In contrast, developing potent and drug‐like small molecules against the PSD‐95 PDZ domains has so far been unsuccessful. Here, we explore the druggability of the PSD‐95 PDZ1‐2 domain and use fragment screening to investigate if this protein is prone to binding small molecules

The matrix metalloproteinase stromelysin-1 (MMP-3) is inhibited more strongly by peptidyl phosphinic acid 7 than by its corresponding phosphonamidate and phosphonate analogs. Extending a benzyl group at P-1' to a phenylethyl group in 8 further increases the potency (K-i = 1.4 nM). Enhanced potency with an extended substituent into the P-3 region was observed.
N-Acylphenylalanines and related compounds. A new class of oral hypoglycemic agents
N-Benzoyl-DL-phenylalanine (1) was found to possess hypoglycemic activity. A series of the analogues of compound 1 were prepared and evaluated for their blood glucose lowering activity. Both the steric effects of the phenylalanine moiety and the effects of variations in the acyl moiety were investigated. This study elucidated some of the structure-activity relationships and led to the development of
