The first total synthesis of kukoamine B bimesylate was completed from 1,4-diaminobutane dihydrochloride in 12 steps with a 11.4% overall yield, and all the steps could be carried out at a kilogram scale. The cyano groups were used as the precursor of amino groups to avoid the competitive reaction delicately. The aza-Michael addition reaction, amidation and hydrogenation of the cyano group sequence was streamlined as a general approach towards the synthesis of polyamine structures.

An effective approach for amino protection and construction of a seven-membered ring has been developed. The method uses imidazolium chloride to carry out the Michael addition reaction at low temperatures and perform amino deprotection or construction of a seven-membered ring at high temperatures.

Cupin superfamily proteins (TM1459) work as a macromolecular ligand framework with a double-stranded beta-barrel structure ligating to a Cu ion through histidine side chains. Variegating the first coordination sphere of TM1459 revealed that H52A and H54A/H58A mutants effectively catalyzed the diastereo- and enantio-selective Michael addition reaction of nitroalkanes to an α,β-unsaturated ketone. Moreover, in silico substrate docking signified C106N and F104W single-point mutations, which inverted the diastereoselectivity of H52A and further improved the stereoselectivity of H54A/H58A, respectively.
