Effect of stereochemistry on the transport of Aca-linked β-turn peptidomimetics across a human intestinal cell line
摘要:
Transcellular transport is one of the most important barriers facing the development of new therapeutic agents. However, little is known about the specific effects of structure and particularly stereochemistry on cell permeability. An attractive in vitro model has been developed for the direct assessment of cell transport, using the immortalized human epithelial cell line, Caco-2. The present study assesses the effects of stereochemistry on transport in a commonly used beta-turn model system. Thus, L,L- and L,D-Ala-Ala were cyclized with aminocaproic acid, resulting in macrocycles in which the dipeptides correspond to the i + 1 and i + 2 positions of a beta-turn. The transport of these dipeptides across a Caco-2 cell monolayer was determined, along with corresponding acyclic models (L,L- and L,D-CH3CH2C(0)-Ala-Ala-n-Pr). The transport studies were carried out in the presence and absence of verapamil, a known inhibitor of the apically polarized efflux system present in Caco-2 cells. Both apical-->basolateral and basolateral-->apical transport were measured. Measurements made in the presence of verapamil showed that the cyclic peptides experienced a ca. 4-5-fold difference in intrinsic flux depending on stereochemistry, with the L,D isomer being transported at a higher rate. These differences disappeared in the acyclic cases examined (permeability coefficient ratios of the L,D/L,L isomers were 1.04-1.13). These observations are discussed in terms of the conformations and hydrogen-bonding characteristics of the compounds as determined by NMR spectroscopy. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Amidation of unprotected aminoacids has been investigated using a variety of ‘classical“ coupling reagents, stoichiometric or catalytic group(IV) metal salts, and boron Lewis acids. The scope of the reaction was explored through the attempted synthesis of amides derived from twenty natural, and several unnatural, aminoacids, as well as a wide selection of primary and secondary amines.

In this article, we report the distinct solution behavior of a set of urea-dipeptides to that of natural sequence. The urea-dipeptides adopt beta-folding conformations and form into beta-sheetlike assembly in chloroform. Most surprisedly, the urea-dipeptides tend to form interpeptide H-bonding interactions even at a concentration of as low as 0 1 mM, while the natural sequence shows H-bonding propensity at a concentration of about 7 mM, indicating that the urea-dipeptides Show Much stronger H-bonding propensity to nucleate formation of beta-sheetlike assembly than the natural sequence CD spectra reveal that the investigated urea-dipeptides have two negative CD bands, respectively, around 217 nm and 224 nm, supporting the beta-folding conformations and in turn formation of beta-sheetlike assembly. The beta-sheetlike assembly is also confirmed by the XRD reflections, which give two typical d-spacings of 12 7 and 4 8 angstrom, respectively, corresponding to stacking periodicity of the beta-sheets and the spacing between peptide backbones running orthogonal to the beta-sheet axis.

Synthesis of Chiral Tropopodands Having L-Amino Acid Moieties and Ability of Their Metal Complexes as an Asymmetric Catalyst
Optical active tropopodands (10 and 11) having neutral L-amino acids and L-histidine moieties were synthesized. Within their metal complexes, Pd complexes of histidine-tropopodands (11b and 11c) bearing bulky amide moieties showed good ability as an asymmetric catalyst in conjugate addition.
