A series of N-pyrrolidine-based α,β-peptide catalysts incorporating a constrained 2-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane carboxylic acid (ABOC) residue were synthesized and evaluated in the asymmetric aldolreaction from acetone and some p-substituted benzaldehydes. Their catalytic properties were shown to be highly dependent on the aminoacid sequences and on the absolute configuration of the ABOC residue that
Se-(9-Fluorenylmethyl) selenoesters are readily prepared, stable precursors to selenocarboxylates, which they liberate on treatment with DBU. Fm selenoesters are compatible with the use of TFA for the removal of Boc groups and with simple peptide bond forming reactions. Amino acid derived selenocarboxylates condense directly with amines to give amides, react smoothly with isocyanates and isothiocyanates to give amides, and couple with electron-deficient azides also to give amides.
Design, synthesis and preliminary biological studies of pyrrolidine derivatives as Mcl-1 inhibitors
Anti-apoptotic proteins, such as B-cell lymphoma (Bcl-2) protein, myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (Mcl-1) protein, are potential targets for cancer treatment. In the studies, a series of pyrrolidine derivatives were developed as potent Mcl-1 inhibitors. The preliminary biological studies suggested that most of target compounds exhibit good abilities for targeting Mcl-1 protein. Among them, compound 21 (K-i = 0.53 mu M) exhibited equal inhibitory activities towards Mcl-1 protein compared to positive control gossypol (K-i = 0.39 mu M). This compound also possessed good antiproliferative activities against MDA-MB-231 and PC-3 cancer cells. (c) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An improved practical synthetic method was developed for the preparation of selenocarboxylates of amino acids through the reaction of the corresponding activated esters with sodium hydrogen selenide in alcoholic or aqueous medium. The protected cc-amino selenocarboxylates reacted readily with sulfonyl azide to form N-(alpha-aminoacyl)sulfonamides in high yields. The commonly used protecting groups in amino acid and peptide chemistries are well tolerated under these reaction conditions. No protecting groups are needed for the side chains of Arg, Met, Set, Tyr, and Trp. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
