The invention relates to a novel method for modifying hydroxylated cyclic amino acids, especially 4-hydroxyproline, which is a commercial, relatively cheap, natural amino acid, in order to provide other amino acids of high optical purity. The initial step of the process is a free-radical excision, and the excision product converts itself into non-proteinogenic amino acids by means of reactions such as reduction, reductive amination, and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions. The method is characterised in that it is applicable to the selective modification of peptides. The invention also relates to the products of said method, such as amino acids that are N-alkylated and/or have side chains with groups of amino, hydroxyl, alkenyl etc., and to the peptidic derivatives thereof of interest as pharmaceuticals, catalysts, molecular imaging probes etc.
本发明涉及一种新方法,用于修饰羟基环状氨基酸,特别是 4-羟基脯氨酸,这是一种商品化的、相对廉价的天然氨基酸,以提供其他高光学纯度的氨基酸。该工艺的第一步是自由基切除,切除产物通过还原、还原胺化和 Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons 反应等反应转化为非蛋白源氨基酸。该方法的特点是适用于肽的选择性修饰。本发明还涉及上述方法的产物,如经过 N-烷基化和/或具有氨基、羟基、烯基等基团侧链的氨基酸,以及作为药物、催化剂、分子成像探针等的肽衍生物。
