An atom-economic N-to-C-directed solid-phasepeptidesynthesis is reported that uses benzyl (Bn) or (benzhydryl-carbamoyl)-methyl (BcM) esters of amino acids as the building blocks, which facilitate efficient hydrazinolysis, convenient conversion to acyl azide, and robust amidation with the next amino acid ester. This method is free of coupling reagents and free of protection on the side-chain OH,
据报道,一种原子经济的 N 到 C 定向的固相肽合成,使用氨基酸的苄基 (Bn) 或 (二苯甲基-氨基甲酰基)-甲基 (BcM) 酯作为构建单元,促进高效肼解,方便转化为酰基叠氮化物,并与下一个氨基酸酯进行稳健的酰胺化。该方法无需偶联试剂,对侧链OH、CO 2 H、CONH2等无保护,因此与基于BOC或Fmoc的C-to-N-相比,原子经济性显着提高定向方法。

The first use of the spirodiepoxide functional group in total synthesis, a study culminating in an efficient synthesis of the potent proteasome inhibitor epoxomicin, is described. Spirodiepoxides derived from allenes by oxidation are shown to give syn disubstituted ketones and their derivatives, including ortho ester, oxazoline, azido epoxide, as well as sulfonamide-, amide-, and azide-containing hydroxy
alpha-Aminoesters react with Ph3PCCO in a domino addition-Wittig cyclization sequence affording enantiomerically pure tetramates. In the case of beta-oxo functionalized alpha-aminoesters, e.g., esters of serine, threonine or beta-hydroxyornithine the yields of this reaction depend heavily on the bulkiness of the beta-OR group and on the configuration of beta-carbon atom C-3. Smaller residues and 2R/3R-configured aminoesters give better yields. The alkoxycarbonyl group of the ester moiety and the residue on the N-atom are less important. These findings can be accounted for by assuming an early puckered transition state for the intramolecular ring-closing Wittig reaction. The addition of sub-stoichiometric amounts of benzoic acid or N-hydroxysuccinimide (for acid-sensitive compounds) is advantageous in some cases as it accelerates the formation of the intermediate amide ylides.

The programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) signaling axis is among the most important therapeutic targets in modern oncology. Aurigene Discovery Technologies Ltd. (Aurigene) has patented a series of peptidomimetic small molecules derived from the PD-1 protein sequence for use in targeting the interaction between PD-1 and its ligand, PD-L1. We evaluated three of Aurigenes most potent compounds in SPR binding assays. Our results showed that these compounds-each of which is known to be potently effective in a splenocyte recovery assay-do not directly inhibit the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction nor do they appear to bind to either of the constituent proteins, indicating that another mechanism is at play. As a result of these studies and upon consideration of structural features within the PD-1/PD-L1 complex, we hypothesize that the Aurigene molecules may interact with a currently unknown protein capable of regulating the PD-1 axis.
