    Notes: A novel tricyclic dipeptide template, formally derived by coupling (2S,4S)-4-aminoproline (Pro(NH2)) and (S)-2-(carboxymethyl)proline (Pro(CH2COOH)) as a diketopiperazine, has been synthesized in a form suitable for solid-phase peptide synthesis using Fmoc chemistry. This template was incorporated into the cyclic molecule cyclo(-Ala1-Asn2-Pro3-Asn4-Ala5-Ala6-Temp-) (Temp = template), whose conformation in H2O was studied by NMR methods. Average solution structures derived by restrained simulated annealing point to a highly populated βI-turn within the Asn-Pro-Asn-Ala motif and also indicate which conformations are likely to be preferred by the template.

    Synthesis, Structure, and Antimalarial Activity of Some Enantiomerically Pure, cis-fused cyclopenteno-1,2,4-trioxanes (1995)

    Notes: Two pairs of enantiomerically pure cis-fused cyclopenteno-1,2,4-trioxanes (7, ent-7 and 8, ent-8) are prepared (Schemes 1-3). Their identities are established by dye-sensitized photo-oxygenation of ent-7 and 8, ent-8 to the allylichydroperxides, reduction to the corresponding alcohols, and conversion to the (1S)-camphanates (Scheme 4), the structures of which are determined by X-ray analysis. The dynamic properties of ent-7 are investigated by NMR spectroscopy and PM3 calculations. Evidence for an easily accessible twist-boat conformation is obtained. The in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activities of 7, ent-7,8, and ent-8 as well as those of the racemic mixtures are evaluated against Plasmodium falciparum, P. berghei, and P. yoelii. No correlation is observed between configuration and activity. Racemates and pure enantiomers have commensurate activities. The mode of action on the intraerythrocytic parasite is rationalized in terms of close docking by the twist-boat conformer of the trioxane on the surface of a molecule of heme, single-electron transfer to the O—O σ* orbital, and scission to the acetal radical which then irreversibly isomerizes to a C-centered radical, the ultimate lethal agent (Scheme 5).

    Notes: A tricyclic diketopiperazine, formally derived by coupling (2S,4S)-4-aminoproline (Pro(NH2)) and (2S,4R)-4-(carboxymethyl)proline (Pro(CH2COOH)), is synthesized starting from readily available (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline. The resulting tricyclic template has carboxy and amino groups to which a peptide chain may be attached. The Fmoc-protected template 5 is incorporated into the cyclic molecule cyclo(-Ala1-Asn2-Pro3-Asn4-Ala5-) (6) where Pro(NH2)7 = Pro(CH2COOH)8 represents the template, using solid-phase peptide synthesis with cyclization in solution. The molecule is shown by NMR and dynamic simulated annealing methods to adopt a preferred conformation in aqueous solution, which includes an extended backbone at the residues Asn2-Pro3-Asn4, and a type-Iβ-turn at . These studies show that this novel template may be used in the synthesis of cyclic peptide and protein mimetics having defined secondary structure in aqueous environments.

    Notes: We explore here an approach to mimic the structures and biological functions of protein loops in small synthetic molecules, by grafting the loop of interest onto an organic template comprising a bicyclic diketopiperazine, prepared by the formal coupling of (2S,4S)-4-aminoproline (Pro(NH2)) and aspartic acid (Asp). The Fmoc-protected template 4 is used to prepare cyclo(-Ala1-Asn2-Pro3-Asn4-Ala5- Ala6-Temp-) (5) and cyclo(-Ala1-Arg2-Gly3-Asp4-Temp-) (6) (where Temp = template derived from 4), containing the Asn-Pro-Asn-Ala (NPNA) and Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motifs. The conformational properties of these molecules are studied in aqueous solution by NMR and simulated-annealing methods. The NPNA motif, an immunodominant epitope on the circumsporozoite surface protein of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, is shown to adopt a stable type-I β-turn in 5. The template in 5 adopts a preferred conformation with Pro(NH2)χ1 ≍ -35° and the Asp moiety χ1 ≍ 70°. A different template conformation is inferred for 6, with Pro(NH2)χ1 ≍ 0°, but the ARGD loop appears by NMR to undergo rapid conformational averaging. Solid-phase binding assays reveal that 6 displays modest antagonist activity towards both the integrin αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 receptors.

    Notes: As a direct test of the Cane-Westley hypothesis concerning the mode of assembly of ether rings in the polyether class of ionophore antibiotics, we describe experiments culminating in the synthesis of three putative intermediates on the monensin biosynthetic pathway and incorporation experiments with these materials and the monensin-producing organism Streptomyces cinnamonensis. The putative intermediates synthesised include the trienes [21-3H]-7 and [13-3H]-10, and the diene [9-3H]-11. The results of the incorporation experiments conducted with whole cell cultures suggest that [13-3H]-10 and [21-3H]-7 are unable to cross the intact cell membrane of S. cinnamonensis, whereas diene [9-3H]-11 can gain entry to the cellular interior, but is then degraded efficiently, most likely by a pathway closely related to β-oxidation, without being specifically incorporated into the antibiotic.

    Notes: The three dihydronaphtho[1,2,4]trioxines 9-11 have been synthesized and two of them converted to the five carbamate and ester derivatives 12-16 (Schemes 1 and 2). The resulting new trioxanes together with two already known and ascaridole (7) were tested for antimalarial activity against the sensitive N strain of Plasmodium berghei in mice. On comparison with artemisinin (1) and dihydroartemisinin (2), modest activity was found. The four most active compounds were some 12-18 times less potent than 1.

    Notes: The ability of the monensin-producing organism Streptomyces cinnamonensis to bioconvert the (E)-and (Z)-isomers of nerolidol (= 3,7,1 1-trimethyldodeca-1,6,10-trien-3-ol) into new oxygenated products has been investigated. When a 3H-labelled racemic form of each sesquiterpene was added to fermentations of S. cinnamonensis, several new 3H-labelled products could be detected. Two products were isolated from bioconversion of (E)-nerolidol, the amide 8 and the 9 (Scheme 2), whereas four products were isolated from the bioconversion of (Z)-nerolidol, the epoxydiol 10, triols 11 and 12, and the tetrahydrofuryl alcohol 13 (Scheme 4). Products 9-13 were obtained as a 1 : 1 mixture of diastereoisomers, and 12 was shown to arise by the overall anti addition of two OH groups to the trisubstituted (Z)-double bond of (Z)-nerolidol. Both isomers of nerolidol as well as the acetylene 7 are inhibitors of monensin production in shake cultures of S. cinnamonensis.

    Synthesis of a Type-VIβ-Turn Peptide Mimetic and Its Incorporation into a High-Affinity Somatostatin Receptor Ligand (1995)

    Notes: The synthesis of a cis-Phe-Pro dipeptide mimetic is described, which adopts a type-VIβ-turn conformation. In this mimetic, the α-positions of Phe and Pro are joined by a CH2CH2 bridge, thereby forming a fused bicyclic system, and fixing a geometry similar to that seen in cis-Phe-Pro units in protein crystal structures. The dipeptide mimetic 20 was synthesized in optically pure form starting from (R)-α-allylproline (6; Schemes 1, 3, and 4), with a free carboxylic acid and an Fmoc-protected N-terminus, thereby allowing its incorporation into linear and cyclic peptides using standard solid-phase methods. The mimetic 20 was incorporated into the cyclic somatostatin analogue cyclo(-Phe = Pro-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-), where Phe = Pro represents the mimetic. This analogue shows a high affinity (pIC50 8.6) for somatostatin receptors on rat-brain cortex membranes. Based on NMR studies in aqueous solution, likely low-energy conformations for this analogue were deduced using restrained dynamic simulated annealing. The conformations found, which include a distorted type-II′ turn at D-Trp-Lys, are similar to low-energy conformations deduced elsewhere for cyclo(-Phe-Pro-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-), as well as to those seen in crystal structures of the somatostatin analogue octreotide.

    Pigment cell differentiation in the fire-bellied toad, Bombina orientalis. I. Structural, chemical, and physical aspects of the adult pigment pattern (1984)

    Notes: Wild-collected adults of Bombina orientalis are bright green dorsally and red to red-orange ventrally. As a prelude to an analysis of the differentiation of pigment cells in developing B. orientalis, we describe structural and chemical aspects of the fully differentiated pigment pattern of the “normal” adult.Structurally, differences between dorsal green and ventral red skin are summarized as follows: (1) Dorsal green skin contains a “typical” dermal chromatophore unit comprised of melanophores, iridophores, and xanthophores. Red skin contains predominantly carotenoid-containing xanthophores (erythrophores), and skin from black spot areas contains only melanophores. (2) In ventral red skin, there is also a thin layer of deep-lying iridophores that presumably are not involved in the observed color pattern. (3) Xanthophores of red and green skin are morphologically distinguishable from each other. Dorsal skin xanthophores contain both pterinosomes and carotenoid vesicles; ventral skin xanthophores contain only carotenoid vesicles. Carotenoid vesicles in dorsal xanthophores are much larger but less electron dense than comparable structures in ventral xanthophores.The presence of carotenes in ventral skin accounts for the bright red-orange color of the belly of this frog. Similar pigments are also present in green skin, but in smaller quantities and in conjunction with both colored (yellow) and colorless pteridines. From spectral data obtained for xanthophore pigments and structural data obtained from the size and arrangement of reflecting platelets in the iridophore layer, we attempt to explain the phenomenon of observed green color in B. orientalis.
