Polyproline sequences are highly abundant in prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins, where they serve as key components of secondary structure. To date, construction of the proline-proline motif has not been possible owing to steric congestion at the ligatio

A novel peptide nucleic acid (PNA) analogue is designed with a constraint in the aminoethyl segment of the aegPNA backbone so that the dihedral angle β is restricted within 60-80, compatible to form PNA:RNA duplexes. The designed monomer is further functionalized with positively charged amino-/guanidino-groups. The appropriately protected monomers were synthesized and incorporated into aegPNA oligomers at predetermined positions and their binding abilities with cDNA and RNA were investigated. A single incorporation of the modified PNA monomer into a 12-mer PNA sequence resulted in stronger binding with complementary RNA over cDNA. No significant changes in the CD signatures of the derived duplexes of modified PNA with complementary RNA were observed.

The unique interaction between fluorine atoms has been exploited to alter protein structures and to develop synthetic and analytical applications. To expand such fluorous interaction for novel applications, polyproline peptides represent an excellent molecular nanoscaffold for controlling the presentation of perfluoroalkyl groups on their unique secondary structure. We develop approaches to synthesis fluorinated peptides to systematically investigate how the number, location and types of the fluorous groups on polyproline affect the conformation by monitoring the transition between the two major polyproline structures PPI and PPII. This work provides valuable information on how fluorous interaction affects the peptide structure and also benefits the design of functional fluorous molecules.

A series of novel quinoline-proline hybrids (11a-g) and quinoline-proline-1,2,3-triazole hybrids (12-14) were synthesized by click chemistry based on molecular hybridization concept and were characterized by NMR, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. All the titled target compounds were tested for antitubercular activity by MABA and LORA methods by in vitro. Interestingly, two compounds (2R,4S)-1-((2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-quinolin-3-yl)-methyl)-4-(4-nitrobenzamido)-N-phenylpyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (11b) and (2R,4S)-1-((2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-quinolin-3-yl)-methyl)-4-(4-fluorobenzamido)-N-phenylpyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (11c) exhibited significant activity against the tested Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Further, the cytotoxicity (CC50) profile of the titled compounds against the Vero cell was performed and discussed. A molecular docking study of the hit compounds (11b and 11c) was also performed to find their putative binding interaction with the active site of the target proteins. Finally, in silico ADMET properties were also predicted for all the synthesized molecules to evaluate their drug-likeness behavior.
Design, Synthesis, and Biochemical Evaluation of Alpha-Amanitin Derivatives Containing Analogs of the trans-Hydroxyproline Residue for Potential Use in Antibody-Drug Conjugates
Braun, Alexandra,Gallo, Francesca,Hambira, Chido M.,Hechler, Torsten,Kato, Brandon,Müller, Christoph,Matinkhoo, Kaveh,Pahl, Andreas,Perrin, David M.,Wei, Charlie,Wong, Antonio A. W. L.

Alpha-amanitin, an extremely toxic bicyclic octapeptide extracted from the death-cap mushroom, Amanita phalloides, is a highly selective allosteric inhibitor of RNA polymerase II. Following on growing interest in using this toxin as a payload in antibody-drug conjugates, herein we report the synthesis and biochemical evaluation of several new derivatives of this toxin to probe the role of the trans-hydroxyproline (Hyp), which is known to be critical for toxicity. This structure activity relationship (SAR) study represents the first of its kind to use various Hyp-analogs to alter the conformational and H-bonding properties of Hyp in amanitin.
