Amidation of unprotected aminoacids has been investigated using a variety of ‘classical“ coupling reagents, stoichiometric or catalytic group(IV) metal salts, and boron Lewis acids. The scope of the reaction was explored through the attempted synthesis of amides derived from twenty natural, and several unnatural, aminoacids, as well as a wide selection of primary and secondary amines. The study also

For most of the known synthetic inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a substrate-like binding mode was postulated on the basis of X-ray crystallographic structures of MMP/inhibitor complexes. Conversely, the malonic acid-based inhibitor (2R,S)-HONH-CO-CH(i-Bu)-CO-Ala-Gly-NH2 was found to bind in a surprisingly different manner. Using this compound as a new lead structure, the interaction sites with human neutrophil collagenase (MMP8) were optimized with a series of iteratively designed analogues and with the help of X-ray structural analysis of selected inhibitors to finally produce low molecular weight nonpeptidic compounds of 500-1000-fold improved inhibitory potency.
