Bhat) ii | P a g e Abstract Considering the importance of nitrogen-rich heterocycles in drug discovery, a novel strategy towards heterocycle synthesis was envisioned using cyanamide chemistry. Synthesis which involve mild conditions, avoids multi-step sequence and non-toxic reagents are desirable for generation of large combinatorial libraries of drug molecules. We envisaged that the NCN linkage of the cyanamide as well as the concomitant use of the nucleo-and electrophilic centres of the cyanamide could provide a novel synthetic route towards nitrogen heterocycles.

  • Part One Amino Acids As Building Blocks

Hughes Copyright Ó 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim ISBN: 978-3-527-32102-5 j3 1 Amino Acid Biosynthesis Emily J. Parker and Andrew J. Pratt 1.1 Introduction The ribosomal synthesis of proteins utilizes a family of 20 a-amino acids that are universally coded by the translation machinery; in addition, two further a-amino acids, selenocysteine and pyrrolysine, are now believed to be incorporated into proteins via ribosomal synthesis in some organisms. More than 300 other amino acid residues have been identified in proteins, but most are of restricted distribution and produced via post-translational modification of the ubiquitous protein amino acids [1]. The ribosomally encoded a-amino acids described here ultimately derive from a-keto acids by a process corresponding to reductive amination. The most important biosynthetic distinction relates to whether appropriate carbon skeletons are pre-existing in basic metabolism or whether they have to be synthesized de novo and this division underpins the structure of this chapter. There are a small number of a-keto acids ubiquitously found in core metabolism, notably pyruvate (and a related 3-phosphoglycerate derivative from glycolysis), together with two components of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), oxaloacetate and a-ketoglutarate (a-KG). These building blocks ultimately provide the carbon skeletons for unbranched a-amino acids of three, four, and five carbons, respectively. a-Amino acids with shorter (glycine) or longer (lysine and pyrrolysine) straight chains are made by alternative pathways depending on the available raw materials.

At the time of writing, there are no approved drugs for effective antiviral treatment for Coxsackieviruses type B. We used the core-structure of pleconaril, a well-known antienteroviral drug candidate, for the synthesis of novel compounds with O-propyl linker modifications. Some original compounds with 4 different linker patterns, such as sulfur atom, ester, amide, and piperazine, were synthesized according to five synthetic schemes. The cytotoxicity and bioactivity of 14 target compounds towards Coxsackievirus B3 Nancy were examined. Based on the results, the values of 50% cytotoxic dose (CC50), 50% virus-inhibiting dose (IC50), and selectivity index (SI) were calculated for each compound. Several of the novel synthesized derivatives exhibited a strong anti-CVB3 activity (SI > 20 to > 200).

The one-pot procedure is based on amild catalytic reduction of tertiaryamides into the corresponding enamines by the use of Mo(CO)6 (molybdenum hexacarbonyl) and TMDS (1,1,3,3-tetra- methyldisiloxane). The formed enamines were allowed to react with sulfonyl azidestogive the target compounds in moderate to good yields. The amidine functional group is frequently found in biological- ly activecompounds possessing anti-inflammatory,antibacteri- al, antiviral, antibiotic, and anestheticproperties.[1] They are also employed as intermediates and precursors in organic syn- thesis of importantheterocyclic compounds such as imida- zoles, quinazolines,isoquinolines, and pyrimidines.[2] Further- more, amidines are employed as ligandsinmetal complexes and as protecting groups for primary amines.[3] Scheme1.Preparation of amidines through a–c) electrophilic amide activa- The stability of amides makes this functional group valuable tion and d) reductive functionalization of amides.
