Aminopropargyl derivative of terpyridine-bis(methyl-enamine) tetraacetic acid chelate of europium (Eu (TMT)-AP3): a new reagent for fluorescent labelling of proteins and peptides
The synthesis and photophysical properties of a new terpyridine-based europium(III) chelate (Eu (TMT)-AP3) designed for peptide and protein labelling in aqueous solution phase is described. In order to obtain a stable, easy to handle, versatile and efficient labelling agent, a reactive aminopropargyl arm has been introduced onto the terpyridine moiety. As preliminary biochemical applications the chelate has been 1) efficiently covalently attached onto a representative biomolecule—monoclonal antibody—and 2) converted into iodoacetamido and aldehyde derivatives, and the photoluminescent Eu (TMT)-AP3 was grafted onto cysteine and lysine amino acid residues respectively. These two different solution phase labelling methods yielded original fluorogenic FRET based probes suitable for “in vitro” detection of caspase-3 protease, a key mediator of apoptosis of mammalian cells.
A new Silyl-based Alkyne Modifying (SAM)-linker for the synthesis of C-terminal acetylene-derivatized peptides is reported. The broad scope of this SAM2-linker is illustrated by manual synthesis of peptides that are side-chain protected, fully deprotected, and disulfide-bridged. Synthesis of a 14-meric (KLAKLAK)(2) derivative by microwave-assisted automated SPPS and a one-pot cleavage click procedure yielding protected 1,2,3-triazole peptide conjugates are also described.

An exploration of imidazolylpropargyl amides as linchpin synthons for the construction of a diverse array of heterocyclic frameworks, many of which are related to those found in the oroidin derived alkaloids, is described. One such intermediate has been used in a formal total synthesis of cyclooroidin.
