SummaryL-amino acid esters such as leucine methyl ester (Leu-OMe) destroy Leishmania mexicana amazonensis amastigotes by a mechanism which may involve hydrolysis of the compounds by parasite enzymes. Moreover, several esters (e.g. Ile-OMe) prevent the killing of parasites by Leu-OMe, perhaps by inhibition of the hydrolytic enzymes. We show here that certain amino acid amides are also leishmanicidal. Killing of Leishmania within macrophages was assessed microscopically, and that of isolated amastigotes was measured by reduction of the tetrazolium MTT. Amino acid amides were generally less active than the methyl esters and several were more toxic to the macrophages, as determined by inspection of Giemsa-stained preparations. Ranks of activity of the amides on isolated amastigotes were Trp > Leu > Phe > Met > Tyr. The amides of Ala, Gly, Val, Ile, His and D-Leu were inactive. This pattern of activity is similar to that of amino acid methyl esters. Ile-NH2 and a few other amides protected intracellular as well as isolated parasites from killing by Leu-OMe. Conversely, Ile-OMe reduced the toxicity of Leu-NH2 for isolated amastigotes. None of the esters or amides assayed prevented the destruction of Leishmania by Trp-NH2. The results are compatible with the view that amino acid esters and amides may be recognized by the same or similar parasite enzymes.

The difunctionalization of ethyl α-diazoacetate (EDA) using silyl halides as a nucleophile and N,O-acetals as an electrophile under metal-free conditions is described. This process undergoes a novel three-component coupling (3-CC) reaction using EDA, which leads to a one-pot preparation of α-halo β-amino acid esters. Also, this protocol could be adapted to accept an electrophile composed of aromatic tertiary amines. In both 3-CC reactions, the key reaction intermediate is an iminium intermediate that can be easily and effectively generated either from N,O-acetals or from aromatic tertiary amines.
