Fmoc-chemistry of a stable phosphohistidine analogue

, p. 1297 - 1299 (2011)
We report the synthesis of the phosphohistidine analogue, Fmoc-4-diethylphosphonotriazolylalanine 5 and its incorporation into peptides. Our synthesis of 5 has enabled us to demonstrate that the analogue is compatible with Fmoc-solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) conditions. Standard cleavage conditions yield the diethyl phosphonate-protected peptide, however this can be subsequently deprotected using trimethylsilyl bromide to yield the free phosphonic acid-containing peptides.

We report herein the uracil-di-aza-amino acid (UrAA) as a new family of molecular scaffold to induce β-hairpin structure with H-bonded β-sheet conformation in a short peptide. This has been demonstrated in two conceptual fluorescent pentapeptides wherein triazolylpyrenyl alanine and/or triazolylmethoxynapthyl alanine (TPyAlaDo and/or TMNapAlaDo) are embedded into two arms of the uracil-amino acid via an intervening leucine. Conformational analysis by CD, IR, variable temperature and 2D NMR spectroscopy reveals the β-hairpin structures for both the peptides. Study of photophysical property reveals that the pentapeptide containing fluorescent triazolyl unnatural amino acids TMNapAlaDo and TPyAlaDo at the two termini exhibits dual path entry to exciplex emission-either via FRET from TMNapAlaDo to TPyAlaDo or via direct excitation of a FRET acceptor, TPyAlaDo. The other pentapeptide with TPyAlaDo/TPyAlaDo pair shows excimer emission. Furthermore, both the peptides maintaining their fundamental photophysics are found to interact with BSA as only a test biomolecule.

Triazolo-β-aza-ε-amino acid and its aromatic analogue (AlTAA/ArTAA) in the peptide backbone mark a novel class of conformationally constrained molecular scaffolds to induce β-turn conformations. This was demonstrated forAlTAA in a Leu-enkephalin analogue and in a designed pentapeptide wherein the FRET process was established. Restricted rotation induced chirality and turn conformation into the achiral aromatic amino acid scaffold,ArTAA, which in a short tripeptide backbone acted as a β-turn mimic as a β-sheet folding nucleator.

Enantioselective Anion Recognition by Chiral Halogen-Bonding [2]Rotaxanes

The application of chiral interlocked host molecules for discrimination of guest enantiomers has been largely overlooked, which is surprising given their unique three-dimensional binding cavities capable of guest encapsulation. Herein, we combined the stringent linear geometric interaction constraints of halogen bonding (XB), the noncovalent interaction between an electrophilic halogen atom and a Lewis base, with highly preorganized and conformationally restricted chiral cavities of [2]rotaxanes to achieve enantioselective anion recognition. Representing the first detailed investigation of the use of chiral XB rotaxanes for this purpose, extensive 1H NMR binding studies and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation experiments revealed that the chiral rotaxane cavity significantly enhances enantiodiscrimination compared to the non-interlocked free axle and macrocycle components. Furthermore, by examining the enantioselectivities of a family of structurally similar XB [2]rotaxanes containing different combinations of chiral and achiral macrocycle and axle components, the dominant influence of the chiral macrocycle in our rotaxane design for determining the effectiveness of chiral discrimination is demonstrated. MD simulations reveal the crucial geometric roles played by the XB interactions in orientating the bound enantiomeric anion guests for chiral selectivity, as well as the critical importance of the anions' hydration shells in governing binding affinity and enantiodiscrimination.
Clickable Cγ-azido(methylene/butylene) peptide nucleic acids and their clicked fluorescent derivatives: Synthesis, DNA hybridization properties, and cell penetration studies

Synthesis, characterization, and DNA complementation studies of clickable Cγ-substituted methylene (azm)/butylene (azb) azido PNAs show that these analogues enhance the stability of the derived PNA:DNA duplexes. The fluorescent PNA oligomers synthesized by their click reaction with propyne carboxyfluorescein are seen to accumulate around the nuclear membrane in 3T3 cells.

The rise of CuI-catalyzed click chemistry has initiated an increased demand for azido and alkyne derivatives of amino acid as precursors for the synthesis of clicked peptides. However, the use of azido and alkyne amino acids in peptide chemistry is complicated by their high cost. For this reason, we investigated the possibility of the in-house preparation of a set of five Fmoc azido amino acids: β-azido l-alanine and d-alanine, γ-azido l-homoalanine, δ-azido l-ornithine and ω-azido l-lysine. We investigated several reaction pathways described in the literature, suggested several improvements and proposed several alternative routes for the synthesis of these compounds in high purity. Here, we demonstrate that multigram quantities of these Fmoc azido amino acids can be prepared within a week or two and at user-friendly costs. We also incorporated these azido amino acids into several model tripeptides, and we observed the formation of a new elimination product of the azido moiety upon conditions of prolonged couplings with 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate/DIPEA. We hope that our detailed synthetic protocols will inspire some peptide chemists to prepare these Fmoc azido acids in their laboratories and will assist them in avoiding the too extensive costs of azidopeptide syntheses. Experimental procedures and/or analytical data for compounds 3–5, 20, 25, 26, 30 and 43–47 are provided in the supporting information.
