On fractional crystallization of 3-O-(2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)propionyl)-, 3-O-(2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionyl)- and 3-O-(2-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)propionyl)-1,2 :5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranoses V-VII optically pure R-diastereoisomers were isolated. The derivatives of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranose obtained on partial deacetylation of esters V-VII were separated chromatographically to R and S-diastereoisomers. Their hydrolysis or transesterification afforded optically pure arylpropionic acids or their methyl esters, respectively. Kinetic resolution of the acids gives rise to esters V-VII enriched in R-diastereoisomer.

Reaction of N-acetyl-, N-benzoyl-, and N-carbobenzoxy derivatives of aliphatic amino acids with sodium hydride/methyl iodide in tetrahydrofuran containing dimethylformamide at 80° gave the corresponding N-methylamino acid methyl esters as oils in high yields. Saponification of these gave the N-protected-N-methylamino acids, and decarbobenzoxylation gave the N-methylamino acid methyl ester hydrobomides. The products are essentially optically pure and free of unmethylated amino acid derivative.

A new series of amino acid derivatives of quinolines was synthesized through the hydrolysis of amino acid methyl esters of quinoline carboxamides with alkali hydroxide. The compounds were purified on silica gel by column chromatography and further characterized by TLC, NMR and ESI-TOF mass spectrometry. All compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity against different bacterial strains using the microdilution method. Most of the synthesized amino acid-quinolines show more potent or equipotent inhibitory action against the tested bacteria than their correspond esters. In addition, many of them exhibit fluorescent properties and could possibly be utilized as fluorophores. Molecular docking and simulation studies of the compounds at putative bacterial target enzymes suggest that the antimicrobial potency of these synthesized analogues could be due to enzyme inhibition via their favorable binding at the fluoroquinolone binding site at the GyrA subunit of DNA gyrase and/or the ParC subunit of topoisomerase-IV.

ABSTRACT Alcaligenes denitrificans Y2k-2 was obtained by selective enrichment followed by screening from soil samples, which showed ω-amino acid:pyruvate transaminase activity, to kinetically resolve aliphatic β-amino acid, and the corresponding structural gene (aptA) was cloned. The gene was functionally expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 by using an isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)-inducible pET expression system (9.6 U/mg), and the recombinant AptA was purified to show a specific activity of 77.2 U/mg for l-β-amino-n-butyric acid (l-β-ABA). The enzyme converts various β-amino acids and amines to the corresponding β-keto acids and ketones by using pyruvate as an amine acceptor. The apparent Km and V max for l-β-ABA were 56 mM and 500 U/mg, respectively, in the presence of 10 mM pyruvate. In the presence of 10 mM l-β-ABA, the apparent Km and V max for pyruvate were 11 mM and 370 U/mg, respectively. The enzyme exhibits high stereoselectivity (E > 80) in the kinetic resolution of 50 mM d,l-β-ABA, producing optically pure d-β-ABA (99% enantiomeric excess) with 53% conversion.

  Objective: The increased microbial resistance against commercially available drugs initiated the development of novel and safe antimicrobial agents in last few decades. In this view, a series of amino acid/dipeptide derivatives of quinazolin-3(4H)-one was synthesized and was evaluated for their antimicrobial potential.Method: Synthesis of amino acid/peptide derivatives were carried out by coupling 5-(2-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)-2-hydroxy benzoic acid with amino acid/dipeptide methyl esters in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N-methylmorpholine. The chemical structures of synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy and were screened for antibacterial activity by disc diffusion method.Results: All the synthesized derivatives exhibited moderate to significant antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The potency of compound 5d was comparable to standard drug ciprofloxacin in all the strains of bacteria used. The compound 5a was found to be more active against Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus while compound 5c against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Conclusion: Peptide derivatives of quinazolinone are promising antimicrobial agent and can be used for the synthesis of other novel compounds.

In this study, monoketo and monohydroxy eicosanoic acids and their methyl esters with the position of the substituent on odd numbered carbon atoms from 3 to 13 were synthesized with high purity. Furthermore, the semicarbazone and anilide derivatives of the obtained keto acids were prepared. They were characterized by TLC, IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy and their physical and chemical properties were established.

Racemic carbinols were converted to chirally pure acetates by a combination of one-pot, enzyme mediated KR and Mitsunobu reaction with metal acetates. Use of AoNO3 or mixture with NaOAc gave excellent results. The protocol is further extended to introduce azide in place of acetate.

Background: Application of simple regularities and general principles along with direct use of reference gas chromatography retention index data for reliable structure determination of compounds can be enhanced by determination of new regularities that are specific to certain structural elements. Objective: Revelation and interpretation of an anomaly in the elution order of alkyl esters of alkoxycarbonyl derivatives of glycine and alanine on standard and semi-standard non-polar phases. Method: Preliminary derivatization of amino acids to alkyl esters of N-alkoxycarbonyl analogs and interpretation of their gas chromatographic characteristics. Results: Alkyl esters of N-alkoxycarbonyl derivatives of alanine (Alkyl = C2H5, n- and iso-C3H7) elute prior to the same derivatives of glycine, despite the presence of an additional methyl group at C(2) in the molecule. Elution order is reversed for methyl esters of N-methoxycarbonyl derivatives. Conclusion: It is established that the peculiar behavior of alkyl esters of N-alkoxycarbonyl derivatives of glycine and alanine agrees with the concepts of gas chromatography and the known retention index regularities of organic compounds. A decrease of retention index values is a result of an introduction of an additional methyl group to a carbon atom connected to two polar fragments in a molecule like CH2XY. The dependence of the difference of retention index values for homologs of the types of CH3-CHXY and CH2XY vs. the total mass of fragments (X + Y) is similar to those for other sub-groups of analytes.
