- PS-IIDQ: a supported coupling reagent for efficient and general amide bond formation
-
Polystyrene-IIDQ, a polymer-supported coupling reagent, was synthesized in three steps from Merrifield resin in 86% overall conversion. This reagent efficiently coupled carboxylic acids to amines in good yields and high purities, required no pre-activation step, and was tolerant of the order of reagent addition. PS-IIDQ was observed to be more efficient than polymer-supported carbodiimides (PS-EDC and PS-DCC) and gave higher yields than HATU for general amide bond formation, including the coupling of anilines and hindered substrates. When evaluated with five carboxylic acids and nine amines (including anilines and secondary amines) PS-IIDQ gave an average isolated yield of 73%.

- Tri- and tetrapeptide analogues of kinins as potential renal vasodilators
-
Tri- and tetrapeptide analogues were synthesized and evaluated as renal vasodilators. These peptides were prepared by standard coupling reactions which also provided good yields with hindered α-methyl amino acid derivatives. Preliminary evidence of renal vasodilator activity was determined in anesthetized dogs by measuring the effects on renal blood flow and calculating the accompanying changes in renal vascular resistance. The most potent compounds contained, in their structure, the L-prolyl-DL-α-methylphenylalanyl-L-arginine and L-prolyl-DL-α-methyl-phenyalanylglycyl-L-proline arrays. Substitution on the N-terminal proline with 4-phenylbutyryl and 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butyryl side chains produced enhanced renal vasodilator activity and, in certain cases, selectivity for the renal vasculature.
