- Redox-triggered changes in the self-assembly of a ferrocene-peptide conjugate
-
Ultrasonication of a ferrocene conjugate of a short amyloid peptide (Aβ18-20) in toluene causes formation of an organogel, which undergoes dramatic structural changes upon oxidation from a nanofibrillar network to spherical micelles. This morphological change is redox-controlled and reversible. the Partner Organisations 2014.

- Peptide-Chain Elongation Using Unprotected Amino Acids in a Micro-Flow Reactor

Conventional peptide synthesis requires a deprotection step after each amidation step, which decreases synthetic efficiency. Therefore, peptide synthesis using unprotected amino acids is considered an ideal approach. Here, we report peptide chain elongati

- A rapid and efficient one-pot method for the reduction of N-protected α-amino acids to chiral α-amino aldehydes using CDI/DIBAL-H
-
N-Protected amino acids can be easily converted into chiral α-amino aldehydes in a one-pot reaction by activation with CDI followed by reduction with DIBAL-H. This method delivers Boc-, Cbz- and Fmoc-protected amino aldehydes from proteinogenic amino acids in very good isolated yields and complete stereointegrity.

- Direct modification of tripeptides using photoinduced decarboxylative radical reactions
-
In order to explore the applicability of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) promoted decarboxylative reactions to the direct modification of peptides, a study was performed to assess the influence of amino acid side chains on photoreactions of N-terminal protected tripeptides. Photoinduced decarboxylation reactions of tripeptides, which are composed of central amino acids that possess alkyl, phenyl, thioether, hydroxy, and amide containing side chains, in the presence or absence of acrylonitrile and a thiol were found to proceed smoothly to give the corresponding radical addition, H-abstraction, and substitution products. Although photoreactions of tripeptides containing central amino acids with phenol and indole (Tyr and Trp) moieties do not take place efficiently, appropriate protection of these groups enables the substrates to undergo smooth photoinduced decarboxylative reactions.

- α-N-Protected dipeptide acids: A simple and efficient synthesis via the easily accessible mixed anhydride method using free amino acids in DMSO and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide
-
The importance of dipeptides both in medicinal and pharmacological fields is well documented and many efforts have been made to find simple and efficient methods for their synthesis. For this reason, we have investigated the synthesis of α-N-protected dipeptide acids by reacting the easily accessible mixed anhydride of α-N-protected amino acids with free amino acids under different reaction conditions. The combination of TBA-OH and DMSO has been found to be the best to overcome the low solubility of amino acids in organic solvents. Under these experimental conditions, the homogeneous phase condensation reaction occurs rapidly and without detectable epimerization. The present method is also applicable to side-chain unprotected Tyr, Trp, Glu, and Asp but not Lys. This latter residue is able to engage two molecules of mixed anhydride giving the corresponding isotripeptide. Moreover, the applicability of this protocol for the synthesis of tri- and tetrapeptides has been tested. This approach reduces the need for protecting groups, is cost effective, scalable, and yields dipeptide acids that can be used as building blocks in the synthesis of larger peptides.

- Phenol-derived CVFM analog inhibitors of Ras farnesyltransferase possessing cellular in vitro activity
-
A study was performed on structure-activity relationships of a series of phenol-derived, CVFM analogs, inhibitors of Ras Farnesyltransferase (FTase). The effect of various substituents on the phenol ring was examined, while the VFM moiety of the potent inhibitor CVFM was kept constant. The FTase inhibitory activity, reported as IC50 in table I, was influenced by both the chemical properties and the relative position of the substituents on the phenolic ring. The most active compounds in this series contained a chloro or bromine substituent on the phenolic ring. Subsequently we have tested the effects of these FTase inhibitors on the anchorage-dependent growth of two rat epithelial cell lines, FRTL-5 and the same line v-Ha-ras transformed. While most of the compounds were inactive, two showed a growth inhibitory effect: compound 4 was active against normal as well against transformed cells while derivative 13 was active only against transformed cells.

Carboxylates of polar, hydrophilic alcohols of the formula STR1 in which R is an unbranched or branched organic radical which contains, as polar members between aliphatic or araliphatic hydrocarbon bridges, ether oxygens, amine nitrogen groups or a mixture of ether and amine groups which can be incorporated into a cyclic structure, where the total length does not exceed 20 members and where, in the case of polyethylene glycol [(CH2 --CH2 --O)n ], n indicates the number of the members and is defined as any integer, and R' is an aliphatic or araliphatic radical which has at least one functional group, are suitable as protective groups since they can be introduced selectively into functional groups of organic compounds and eliminated specifically by lipases.
