Hippuryl-α-methylphenylalanine and hippuryl-α-methylphenyllactic acid as substrates for carboxypeptidase A. Syntheses, kinetic evaluation and mechanistic implication
摘要:
(R)- and (S)-Hippuryl-alpha-methylphenylalanine [(R)- and (S)-Hipp-alpha-MePhe] and (S)-hippuryl-alpha-methylphenyllactic acid [(S)-Hipp-alpha-MeOPhe] were synthesized and evaluated as substrates for carboxypeptidase A (CPA) in an effort to shed further light on the catalytic mechanism of the enzyme. The rate of CPA-catalyzed hydrolysis of (S)-Hipp-alpha-MePhe was reduced by 105-fold compared with that of (S)-Hipp-Phe. but the hydrolysis rate of (S)-Hipp-OPhe was lowered by only 6.8-fold by the introduction of a methyl group at the alpha-position. (R)-Hipp-alpha-MePhe failed to be hydrolyzed initially, then started to undergo hydrolysis in about 2 h at a much reduced rate. The results of present study may be envisioned on the basis of the proposition that while peptide substrate is hydrolyzed via a tetrahedral transition state formed by the attack of the zinc-bound water molecule at the peptide carbonyl carbon, ester hydrolysis takes the path that involves an anhydride intermediate generated by the attack of the carboxylate of Glu-270 at the ester carbonyl carbon, (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Flexible Synthesis and Evaluation of Diverse Anti-Apicomplexa Cyclic Peptides
摘要:
A modular approach to synthesize anti-Apicomplexa parasite inhibitors was developed that takes advantage of a pluripotent cyclic tetrapeptide scaffold capable of adjusting appendage and skeletal diversities in only a few steps (one to three steps). The diversification processes make use of selective radical coupling reactions and involve a new example of a reductive carbon nitrogen cleavage reaction with SmI2. The resulting bioactive cyclic peptides have revealed new insights into structural factors that govern selectivity between Apicomplexa parasites such as Toxoplasma and Plasmodium and human cells.

The enantiomeric pure C2-symmetric CMe2 bridged bis(oxazolones) 5 and 6 have also been employed which give with PdCl2 the chelate complexes 13 and 14. The X-ray structural determination of Cl2P d[O-C (O)-CMe2-N=C-CMe2-C=N-CMe2-C (O)-O ] (10) shows that one
