Alkyl esters, such as propargyl esters, typically lack the electron-withdrawing inductive effects needed to participate in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions. Herein, we report an unusual observation in which glycine propargyl ester derivatives displayed selective, base-independent reactivity towards linear alkylamines under mild, metal-free conditions. Through global reaction route mapping (GRRM) modeling calculations, it is predicted that these observations may be governed by factors related to hydrogen-bonding and intermolecular interactions, rather than electron-withdrawing inductive effects. Based on this concept of propargyl-assisted selective amidation, a direct application was made to develop a novel site-specific C-terminal glycine peptide bioconjugation technique as a proof-of-concept, which relies upon the selective reactivity of glycine propargyl esters over that of aspartate and glutamate side-chain-linked propargyl esters.
N,N′-disubstituted cinnamamide derivatives potentiate ciprofloxacin activity against overexpressing NorA efflux pump Staphylococcus aureus 1199B strains

A multi-step procedure has been described which afforded satisfactory yields of N,N′-disubstituted cinnamamides derived from N-Boc-protected amino acids (Boc-Gly, Boc-Val, Boc-Phe). The key step of this synthesis was a regioselective RedAl reduction of an

Several 7-aminoamido-pterins were synthesized to evaluate the electronic and biochemical subtleties observed in the 'linker space' when N-{N-(pterin-7-yl)carbonylglycyl}-l-phenylalanine 1 was bound to the active site of RTA. The gylcine-phenylalanine dipeptide analogs included both amides and thioamides. Decarboxy gly-phe analog 2 showed a 6.4-fold decrease in potency (IC50 = 128 μM), yet the analogous thioamide 7 recovered the lost activity and performed similarly to the parent inhibitor (IC50 = 29 μM). Thiourea 12 exhibited an IC50 nearly six times lower than the oxo analog 13. All inhibitors showed the pterin head-group firmly bound in their X-ray structures yet the pendants were not fully resolved suggesting that all pendants are not firmly bound in the RTA linker space. Calculated log P values do not correlate to the increase in bioactivity suggesting other factors dominate.
