Poly(ethylene Glycol)‐Based Peptidomimetics (Pegtides) of Antimicrobial Peptides

open access: yesChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is commonly used to improve the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of therapeutic candidates by conjugation. Here PEG is exploited for peptidomimetic conversion of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), as candidate antibacterial agents, by replacing their polyamide backbone. The pegtides obtained thereby can be readily synthesized

Identification of Methylglyoxal Reactive Proteins with Photocaged Glycating Agents

open access: yesChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Photocaged methylglyoxal (PC‐MGO) derivatives enable studying protein glycation under mild conditions. The active glycating agents can be released in the protein solution by irradiating the sample with UV light. Compared to the earlier reported chemically activated MGO probes, the photocaged probes are more potent.

In Vivo Biosynthesis and Direct Incorporation of Noncanonical Amino Acids into Proteins

open access: yesChemBioChem, EarlyView.
This review evaluates engineered (semi)autonomous cell systems for the biosynthesis and incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins. While semi‐autonomous cells convert supplied precursors into ncAAs autonomous cells integrate biosynthetic pathways that produce these building blocks intracellularly.

Interactions of Neurodegenerative Disease Positron Emission Tomography Imaging Probe Candidates with the C‐Terminus of α‐Synuclein Fibrils

open access: yesChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Binding studies of α‐synuclein (αS) fibril ligands using photo‐crosslinking mass spectrometry and Förster resonance energy transfer show that the multiple system atrophy (MSA)‐selective lead, HY‐215, interacts with the αS C‐terminus, unlike Parkinson's disease (PD)‐selective lead, M503. Thus, often‐ignored interactions with the disordered regions of αS

C‐6‐Modified 2‐F‐Fucose Derivatives as Inhibitors of Fucosyltransferases

open access: yesChemBioChem, EarlyView.
A series of C6‐modified guanosine‐diphosphate‐2‐F‐fucose analogs and corresponding prodrugs are designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated as inhibitors of cellular fucosylation. Certain analogs potently inhibit fucosyltransferases (FUT) FUT1, 3, 6, and 9 while showing minimal activity for FUT8, highlighting the potential for selective FUT ...

Selective N‐Alkylation of Unprotected Amino Sugars by Alcohols. Application to the Synthesis of Sugar‐Based Surfactants

open access: yesChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
A borrowing hydrogen strategy using an NHC‐Ir(III) catalyst enables selective N‐functionalization of unprotected amino sugars using alcohols as alkylating agents. The use of unprotected substrates avoids extra steps of protection/deprotection, minimizing waste generation.
