Hypervalent Iodine: New Reagents and Functionalization of Peptides

Eliott Hugo Joran Le Du

Alkynes are found in a multitude of natural or synthetic bioactive compounds. In addition to the capacity of these chemical motifs to impact the physicochemical properties of a molecule of interest, the well-established reactivity of alkynes makes them ...

Development of Hetero-Vinylbenziodoxolone Reagents for Applications in Synthetic Methodology and Biomolecule Functionalization

Nina Declas

Among the numerous existing chemical motifs, alkenes, alkynes, enol ethers and enamides, with an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond, are versatile functional groups that are found in many natural products and bioactive compounds. They are widely used as valuab ...

The Function of Two Radical-SAM Enzymes, HcgA and HcgG, in the Biosynthesis of the [Fe]-Hydrogenase Cofactor

Xile Hu, Huijie Pan, Yiwei Zheng

In the biosynthesis of the iron-guanylylpyridinol (FeGP) cofactor, 6-carboxymethyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxy-2-pyridinol (1) is 3-methylated to form 2, then 4-guanylylated to form 3, and converted into the full cofactor. HcgA-G proteins catalyze the biosynthetic ...

Development of Photocatalysts towards the Visible-Light driven C-Terminal Bioconjugation of Peptides and Proteins

Marion Marie-Agnès Garreau

If small molecules have led to tremendous progress in curing diseases, new therapeutic agents such as peptides or antibody-drugs conjugates have emerged as a highly promising next generation of pharmaceuticals. As for small molecules, their derivatization ...

Renal metabolism of hyperpolarized [1-13C]aspartate

Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

Aspartic acid is involved in several central metabolic pathways, including gluconeogenesis, the urea cycle, de novo nucleotide synthesis, the malate-aspartate shuttle, and via transmination the TCA cycle. The conversion in vivo of hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyr ...

Switchable [3+2] and [4+2] Heteroannulation of Primary Propargylamines with Isonitriles to Imidazoles and 1,6-Dihydropyrimidines: Catalyst Loading Enabled Reaction Divergence

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Shuo Tong

Isonitrile 1 due to its carbene-like reactivity serves generally as a one-carbon synthon in a diverse set of organic transformations. We report in this article that the isocyano group can also act as a polarized triple bond to undergo, as a two-atom syntho ...

Synthesis of (Carbo) nucleoside Analogues by [3+2] Annulation of Aminocyclopropanes

Jérôme Waser, Florian Patrick Marie Daniel De la Barre De Nanteuil, Sophie Lucie Racine, Eloísa Sofía Serrano Robledo

(Carbo) nucleoside derivatives constitute an important class of pharmaceuticals, yet there are only few convergent methods to access new analogues. Here, we report the first synthesis of thymine-, uracil-, and 5-fluorouracil-substituted diester donor-accep ...

Computational, Structural, and Kinetic Evidence That Vibrio vulnificus FrsA Is Not a Cofactor-Independent Pyruvate Decarboxylase

Ursula Röthlisberger, Elizabeth Claire Brunk

The fermentation-respiration switch (FrsA) protein in Vibrio vulnificus was recently reported to catalyze the cofactor-independent decarboxylation of pyruvate. We now report quantum mechanical/molecular mechenical calculations that examine the energetics o ...

Enantioselective Total Syntheses of Leuconolam–Leuconoxine–Mersicarpine Group Monoterpene Indole Alkaloids

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Zhengren Xu

A unified strategy allowing enantioselective total syntheses of (−)-mersicarpine, (−)-scholarisine G, (+)-melodinine E, (−)-leuconoxine, and (−)-leuconolam from a common cyclohexenone derivative was reported. The Suzuki−Miyaura reaction was used to couple ...

Automated transfer and injection of hyperpolarized molecules with polarization measurement prior to in vivo NMR

Mor-Miri Mishkovsky, Tian Cheng, Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen

Hyperpolarized magnetic resonance via dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization necessitates the transfer of the hyperpolarized molecules from the polarizer to the imager prior to in vivo measurements. This process leads to unavoidable losses in nuclear pol ...
