Abstract

The use of solution phase techniques has been explored as an alternative to solid-phase chemistry approaches for the preparation of arrays of compounds in the drug discovery process. Solution-phase work is free from some of the constraints of solid-phase approaches but has disadvantages with respect to purification. This article will also illustrate some of the advances made in recent years in solution phase array chemistry including using supported reagents and simple extractive protocols for the effective preparation of high quality samples.

Interfacial asparagine residues within an amide tetrad contribute to Max helix-loop-helix leucine zipper homodimer stability.

The transcription factor Max is the obligate dimerization partner of the Myc oncoprotein. The pivotal role of Max within the Myc regulatory network is dependent upon its ability to dimerize via the helix-loop-helix leucine zipper domain. The Max homodimer contains a tetrad of polar residues at the interface of the leucine zipper domain. A conserved interfacial Asn residue at an equivalent position in two other leucine zipper proteins has been shown to decrease homodimer stability. The unusual arrangement of this Gln-Asn/Gln'-Asn' tetrad prompted us to investigate whether Asn(92) plays a similar role in destabilizing the Max homodimer. This residue was sequentially replaced with aliphatic and charged residues. Thermal denaturation, redox time course and analytical ultracentrifugation studies show that the N92V mutation does not increase homodimer stability. Replacing this residue with negatively charged side chains in N92D and N92E destabilizes the mutant homodimer. Further replacement of Gln(91) indicated that H bonding between Gln(91) and Asn(92) residues is not significant to the stability of the native protein. These data collectively demonstrate the central role of Asn(92) in homodimer interactions. Molecular modelling studies illustrate the favorable packing of the native Asn residue at the dimer interface compared with that of the mutant Max peptides.

New synthetic technology for efficient construction of alpha-hydroxy-beta-amino amides via the Passerini reaction.

[reaction: see text] The Passerini reaction of N-protected amino aldehydes, isonitriles, and TFA using pyridine-type bases proceeds under mild conditions and directly affords alpha-hydroxy-beta-amino amide derivatives in moderate to high yields. These adducts are readily hydrolyzed to alpha-hydroxy-beta-amino carboxylic acids. Application of these key intermediates to concise syntheses of P(1)-alpha-ketoamide protease inhibitors is illustrated.
