Abstract. A series of N-benzoyl amino esters and N-benzoyl amino acids were synthesized from commercially-available amino acids (Val, Ile, Leu, Ala, Phe, Trp) and were evaluated for their antifungal activity against two filamentous fungi, A. fumigatus and F. temperatum. According to the in vitro assays, five compounds (5-7, 10, 13) exhibited relevant antifungal activity against F. temperatum and two compounds (5 and 7) showed remarkable activity against both fungi strains. Some structure-activity relationships were established regarding the side chain at Ca and the type of substituents on the aromatic ring in the benzoyl moiety. Docking calculations were performed in order to predict binding affinities between compounds prepared herein and fungal chitinase, a potential target against fungi; interactions involving the aromatic rings, the influence on the number of methyl substituents, and configurations on the a-carbon have been analyzed.   Resumen. Una serie de derivados N-benzoilamino ésteres y N-benzoilaminoácidos, sintetizados a partir de aminoácidos disponibles comercialmente (Val, Ile, Leu, Ala, Phe, Trp), se evaluaron como agentes antifúngicos frente a dos hongos filamentosos, A. fumigatus y F. temperatum. De acuerdo con los ensayos in vitro, cinco compuestos (5-7, 10, 13) exhibieron una actividad relevante contra F. temperatum y dos derivados (5 y 7) mostraron una actividad notable contra ambas cepas. Algunas relaciones de estructura actividad permitieron observar el efecto de la cadena lateral del aminoácido, y de los sustituyentes del grupo benzoílo, en la actividad biológica. Se realizaron cálculos de acoplamiento molecular con el propósito de predecir afinidades de enlace entre los compuestos sintetizados y la enzima quitinasa, considerada un blanco molecular potencial. Se analizaron las interacciones que involucran anillos aromáticos, la influencia de los sustituyentes metilo, así como la configuración del Ca.

The constrained dipeptide surrogates 5- and 7-hydroxy indolizidin-2-one N-(Boc)amino acids have been synthesized from L-serine as a chiral educt. A linear precursor ∆4-unsaturated (2S,8S)-2,8-bis[N-(Boc)amino]azelic acid was prepared in five steps from L-serine. Although epoxidation and dihydroxylation pathways gave mixtures of hydroxy indolizidin-2-one diastereomers, iodolactonization of the ∆4-azelate stereoselectively delivered a lactone iodide from which separable (5S)- and (7S)-hydroxy indolizidin-2-one N-(Boc)amino esters were synthesized by sequences featuring intramolecular iodide displacement and lactam formation. X-ray analysis of the (7S)-hydroxy indolizidin-2-one N-(Boc)amino ester indicated that the backbone dihedral angles embedded in the bicyclic ring system resembled those of the central residues of an ideal type II’ β-turn indicating the potential for peptide mimicry.

New composite 3D scaffolds were developed as a combination of synthetic polymer, poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA), and a natural polymer, gelatin, with a ceramic component, nanohydroxyapatite (ID nHAp) dopped with metal ions. The combination of a synthetic polymer, to be able to tune the structure and the physicochemical and mechanical properties, and a natural polymer, to ensure the specific biological functions of the scaffold, with inorganic filler was applied. The goal was to make a new material with superior properties for applications in the biomedical field which mimics as closely as possible the native bone extracellular matrix (ECM). Biodegradable PHEMA hydrogel was obtained by crosslinking HEMA by poly(β-amino esters) (PBAE). The scaffold’s physicochemical and mechanical properties, in vitro degradation, and biological activity were assessed so to study the effects of the incorporation of nHAp in the (PHEMA/PBAE/gelatin) hydrogel, as well as the effect of the different pore-forming methods. Cryogels had higher elasticity, swelling, porosity, and percent of mass loss during degradation than the samples obtained by porogenation. The composite scaffolds had a higher mechanical strength, 10.14 MPa for the porogenated samples and 5.87 MPa for the cryogels, but a slightly lower degree of swelling, percent of mass loss, and porosity than the hybrid ones. All the scaffolds were nontoxic and had a high cell adhesion rate, which was 15–20% higher in the composite samples. Cell metabolic activity after 2 and 7 days of culture was higher in the composites, although not statistically different. After 28 days, cell metabolic activity was similar in all scaffolds and the TCP control. No effect of integrating nHAp into the scaffolds on osteogenic cell differentiation could be observed. Synergetic effects occurred which influenced the mechanical behavior, structure, physicochemical properties, and interactions with biological species.

AbstractThe current Account gives an insight into the synthesis of some N-heterocyclic β-amino acid derivatives and various functionalized saturated azaheterocycles accessed from substituted cycloalkenes via ring C=C bond oxidative cleavage followed by ring closing across double reductive amination. The ring-cleavage protocol has been accomplished according to two common approaches: a) Os-catalyzed dihydroxylation/NaIO4 vicinal diol oxidation and b) ozonolysis. A comparative study on these methodologies has been investigated. Due to the everincreasing relevance of organofluorine chemistry in drug research as well as of the high biological potential of β-amino acid derivatives several illustrative examples to the access of various fluorine-containing piperidine or azepane β-amino acid derivatives are also presented in the current Account.1 Introduction2 Olefin-Bond Transformation by Oxidative Ring Cleavage3 Synthesis of Saturated Azaheterocycles via Oxidative Ring-Opening/Ring-Closing Double Reductive Amination3.1 Importance of Fluorine-Containing Azaheterocycles in Pharmaceutical Research3.2 Synthesis of Azaheterocyclic Amino Acid Derivatives with a Piperidine or Azepane Framework through Oxidative Ring Opening/Reductive Amination3.2.1 Synthesis of Piperidine β-Amino Esters3.2.2 Synthesis of Azepane β-Amino Esters3.2.3 Synthesis of Fluorine-Containing Piperidine γ-Amino Esters3.3 Synthesis of Tetrahydroisoquinoline Derivatives through Oxidative Ring Opening/Reductive Amination Protocol3.4 Synthesis of Functionalized Benzazepines through Reductive Amination3.4.1 Synthesis of Benzo[c]azepines3.4.2 Synthesis of Benzo[d]azepines3.5 Synthesis of Various N-Heterocycles via Ozonolysis/Reductive Amination3.5.1 Synthesis of Compounds with an Azepane Ring3.5.2 Synthesis of Piperidine β-Amino Acids and Piperidine-Fused β-Lactams3.5.3 Synthesis of γ-Lactams with a Piperidine Ring3.5.4 Synthesis of other N-Heterocycles4 Summary and Outlook5 List of Abbreviations

We have previously published new biheterocyclic phospohonic -amino esters of the 1,2,3-triazole-benzimidazole and 1,2,3-triazole-carbazole type. The aim of the present paper was to describe a new phosponic aminoester bearing a triazole ring substituted in position 5 by an ester group. Thus, according to the same catalytic process used previously, the compound naphthalen-2-yl 1-(benzamido(diethoxyphosphoryl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate was synthesized with an excellent yield and high regioselectivity via the copper (I)-catalyzed alkyne–azide cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC), using diethyl (-azido(benzamido)methyl)phosphonate (1) as a dipole and 2- naphthyl propiolate as a dipolarophile (2). The structure of the new compound was fully characterized by 1D (31P, 1H, 13C) and 2D (1H-1H and 1H-13C) NMR spectroscopy, IR, and HRMS.
