Rapid Conventional and Microwave-Assisted Decarboxylation of L-Histidine and Other Amino Acids via Organocatalysis with R-Carvone Under Superheated Conditions
摘要:
This article reports a new methodology taking advantage of superheated chemistry via either microwave or conventional heating for the facile decarboxylation of alpha amino acids using the recoverable organocatalyst, R-carvone. The decarboxylation of amino acids is an important synthetic route to biologically active amines, and traditional methods of amino acid decarboxylation are time consuming (taking up to several days in the case of L-histidine), are narrow in scope, and make use of toxic catalysts. Decarboxylations of amino acids including L-histidine occur in just minutes while replacing toxic catalysts with green catalyst, spearmint oil. Yields are comparable to or exceed previous methods and purification of product ammonium chloride salts is aided by an isomerization reaction of residual catalyst to phenolic carvacrol. The method has been shown to be effective for the decarboxylations of a range of natural, synthetic, and protected amino acids.

An efficient three-step synthesis of a novel family of enantiomerically pure isocyanides derived from β3-isocyanopropionic acids was elaborated. Easily available N-formylated α-amino acids were used as starting materials towards this aim. The 3-step sequence (Arndt–Eistert reaction–Wolff rearrangement–dehydration) resulted in target isonitriles in good yields (up to 97%). As a result a new family of

Compounds comprising peptides capable of binding C3 protein and inhibiting complement activation are disclosed. The compounds include a modified compstatin peptide or analog thereof, comprising an added N-terminal component that improves (1) the binding affinity of the peptide to C3, C3b or C3c and/or (2) the plasma stability and/or plasma residence time of the peptide, as compared with an unmodified compstatin peptide under equivalent conditions. Methods of improving the C3 binding of compstatin or compstatin analogs are also disclosed, as well as methods of designing compstatin analogs with improved C3 binding.

Peptides immunoreactive with antibodies to native proteins, and which have at least two cysteine residues that contribute to mimicking an epitope of the protein, are prepared with the cysteine thiol groups protected. When deprotected, the peptides have enhanced immunoreactivity. The peptides are particularly useful for detecting antibodies or antigens associated with retroviruses, including the clinically important lymphotropic retroviruses HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-I, and HTLV-II
