An array of L- and D-halotryptophans with different substituents at the indole moiety was synthesized employing either enzymatic halogenation by halogenases or incorporation of haloindoles using tryptophan synthase. Introduction of these Trp derivatives into RGD peptides as a benchmark system was performed to investigate their influence on bioactivity. Halotryptophan-containing RGD peptides display increased affinity toward integrin alpha(nu)beta(3) and enhanced selectivity over integrin alpha(5)beta(1). In addition, bromotryptophan was exploited as a platform for latestage diversification by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC), resulting in new-to-nature biaryl motifs. These peptides show enhanced affinity toward alpha(nu)beta(3), good affinity to alpha(nu)beta(8), and remarkable selectivity over alpha(5)beta(1) and alpha(IIb)beta(3) while featuring fluorogenic properties. Their feasibility as a probe was demonstrated in vitro. Extensive molecular dynamics simulations were undertaken to elucidate NMR and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) data for these late-stage diversified cyclic RGD peptides and to further characterize their conformational preferences.

Highly efficient and selective olefination of acyl phosphonates with ethyl diazoacetate catalyzed by a cobalt(II) porphyrin complex
Erturk, Erkan; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı (Elsevier BV, 2008-08-04)
The cobalt(II) porphyrin complex (CoTPP) was found to be an efficient catalyst for the Wittig type olefination of acyl phosphonates with ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) in the presence of triphenylphosphine (Ph(3)P). By using this one pot methodology under mild conditions, densely functionalized vinyl phosphonates were obtained in high yields and high E/Z selectivities in relatively short reaction times. A rather broad substrate spectrum and steric influence on the reaction rate were observed.

Copolymers of 5,8-di(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2,3-di(thiophen-2-yl) quinoxaline (PTQ) in the presence of 2,2'-bis(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (BiEDOT) and 4,7-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4] dioxin-5-yl)-2-dodecyl-2H-benzo[1,2,3] triazole (BEBT) were synthesized via the potentiodynamic method in a tetrabutylammonium perchlorate/dichloromethane (TBAP/DCM) (0.1 M) solvent-electrolyte couple. P(PTQ-co-BiEDOT) reveals an oxidation potential at +0.45 V and a reduction potential at -0.2 V (figure 1(a)), whereas the homo...
Analysis of the genetic determinant for production of the pediocin P of Pediococcus pentosaecus Pep 1
Osmanagaoglu, O; Beyatli, Y; Gündüz, Ufuk; Sacilik, SC (2000-01-01)
Pediococcus pentosaceus Pep1 is a vacuum-packaged Turkish sausage isolate which produces a potentially novel bacteriocin of the pediocin (anti-Listeria) family of peptides designated as pediocin P. Curing experiments and plasmid profile analysis indicated that both bacteriocin immunity and production determinants were linked and encoded by 9.0 MDa plasmid, pHD1.0. Attempts to transform purified plasmid pHD1.0 into recipient Escherichia coli JM109 cells by electroporation were successful but none of the E. c...
Stereocontrolled 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions using Oppolzer's camphor sultam as the chiral auxiliary for carbonyl stabilized azomethine ylides
Garner, Philip; Doğan, Özdemir; Youngs, Wiley; Vance, Kennedy; Protasiewicz, John; Zaniewski, Rebecca (2001-01-01)
Two complementary approaches to substituted pyrrolidines via stereocontrolled 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of chiral azomethine ylides are described. In one approach, chiral azomethine ylides were generated by thermolysis of aziridine carboxylate sultams and trapped with a variety of dipolarophiles to give good yields of the corresponding cycloadducts. In the second approach, chiral azomethine ylides were generated from glycyl sultams by 'imine tautomerization' and trapped with dipolarophiles to give...
Synthesis of 2-heteroaryl substituted chiral fused cyclopenta[c]pyridine derivatives via pauson-khand reaction
Gümrükçü, Yasemin; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2009)
The racemic homoallylic and homopropargylic alcohol derivatives were resolved by applying chemoenzymatic method using various lipase type enzymes i.e., PS-C II, Lipozyme, CAL-B. The enantiomeric excess values of the resultant alcohols were determined by HPLC. These enantiomerically enriched homoallylic and homopropargylic alcohols were subjected to N-propargylation and N-allylation, respectively, by SN2 and modified Mitsunobu reactions. During the course of all reactions, stereochemistry of the chiral cente...
