1. Solid-phase synthesis of D-fructose-derived Heyns peptides utilizing Nα-Fmoc-Lysin[Nε-(2-deoxy-D-glucos-2-yl),Nε-Boc]-OH as building block
Sebastian Schmutzler, Daniel Knappe, Andreas Marx, Ralf Hoffmann Amino Acids. 2021 Jun;53(6):881-891. doi: 10.1007/s00726-021-02989-7. Epub 2021 May 2.
Aldoses and ketoses can glycate proteins yielding isomeric Amadori and Heyns products, respectively. Evidently, D-fructose is more involved in glycoxidation than D-glucose favoring the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). While Amadori products and glucation have been studied extensively, the in vivo effects of fructation are largely unknown. The characterization of isomeric Amadori and Heyns peptides requires sufficient quantities of pure peptides. Thus, the glycated building block Nα-Fmoc-Lys[Nε-(2-deoxy-D-glucos-2-yl),Nε-Boc]-OH (Fmoc-Lys(Glc,Boc)-OH), which was synthesized in two steps starting from unprotected D-fructose and Fmoc-L-lysine hydrochloride, was site-specifically incorporated during solid-phase peptide synthesis. The building block allowed the synthesis of a peptide identified in tryptic digests of human serum albumin containing the reported glycation site at Lys233. The structure of the glycated amino acid derivatives and the peptide was confirmed by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Importantly, the unprotected sugar moiety showed neither notable epimerization nor undesired side reactions during peptide elongation, allowing the incorporation of epimerically pure glucosyllysine. Upon acidic treatment, the building block as well as the resin-bound peptide formed one major byproduct due to incomplete Boc-deprotection, which was well separated by reversed-phase chromatography. Expectedly, the tandem mass spectra of the fructated amino acid and peptide were dominated by signals indicating neutral losses of 18, 36, 54, 84 and 96 m/z-units generating pyrylium and furylium ions.
2. Synthesis of ( +) -( R)-Tiruchanduramine
Zahraa S Al-Taie, et al. Molecules. 2022 Feb 16;27(4):1338. doi: 10.3390/molecules27041338.
The absolute stereochemistry of the marine alkaloid (+)-(R)-tiruchanduramine was established via a convergent total synthesis in six steps and 15.5% overall yield from Fmoc-D-Dab(Boc)-OH.
3. A high-yielding solid-phase total synthesis of daptomycin using a Fmoc SPPS stable kynurenine synthon
Ryan Moreira, Jacob Wolfe, Scott D Taylor Org Biomol Chem. 2021 Apr 14;19(14):3144-3153. doi: 10.1039/d0ob02504f. Epub 2021 Jan 28.
A high-yielding total synthesis of daptomycin, an important clinical antibiotic, is described. Key to the development of this synthesis was the elucidation of a Camps cyclization reaction that occurs in the solid-phase when conventionally used kynurenine (Kyn) synthons, such as Fmoc-l-Kyn(Boc,CHO)-OH and Fmoc-l-Kyn(CHO,CHO)-OH, are exposed to 20% 2-methylpiperidine (2MP)/DMF. During the synthesis of daptomycin, this side reaction was accompanied by intractable peptide decomposition, which resulted in a low yield of Dap and a 4-quinolone containing peptide. The Camps cyclization was found to occur in solution when Boc-l-Kyn(Boc,CHO)-Ot-Bu and Boc-l-Kyn(CHO,CHO)-OMe were exposed to 20% 2MP/DMF giving the corresponding 4-quinolone amino acid. In contrast, Boc-l-Kyn(CHO)-OMe was stable under these conditions, demonstrating that removing one of the electron withdrawing groups from the aforementioned building blocks prevents enolization in 2MP/DMF. Hence, a new synthesis of daptomycin was developed using Fmoc-l-Kyn(Boc)-OH, which is prepared in two steps from Fmoc-l-Trp(Boc)-OH, that proceeded with an unprecedented 22% overall yield. The simplicity and efficiency of this synthesis will facilitate the preparation of analogs of daptomycin. In addition, the elucidation of this side reaction will simplify preparation of other Kyn-containing natural products via Fmoc SPPS.
