Polyamines play an important role in biology, yet their exact function many processes is poorly understood. Artificial host molecules capable of sequestering polyamines could be useful tools for studying cellular function. However, designing synthetic receptors with affinities sufficient to compete biological polyamine remains a huge challenge. Binding hosts are typically separated by gap several orders magnitude from those biomolecules. We now report that dynamic combinatorial selection...

A number of artificial carriers for the transport zwitterionic aromatic amino acids across bulk model membranes (U-tube type) have been prepared and evaluated. 1,2-Dichloroethane dichloromethane were employed in organic phase. All compounds are based on a bicyclic chiral guanidinium scaffold that ideally complements carboxylate function. The central moiety was attached to crown ethers or lasalocid as specific subunits ammonium recognition well hydrophobic residues evaluate their potential...

Abstract Dynamic combinatorial chemistry applied to biological environments requires the exchange of choice take place under physiological conditions. Thiol-disulfide exchange, one most popular dynamic chemistries, usually needs long equilibration times reach required equilibrium composition. Here we report selenocystine as a catalyst mimicking Nature’s strategy accelerate thiol-disulfide at pH and low temperatures. Selenocystine is able slow systems promote correct folding an scrambled...

Although 2,4,6‐trifluoro‐1,3,5‐triazine, C 3 F N , is a highly symmetrical molecule, its NMR parameters can be obtained by reducing symmetry through the introduction of 14 N/ 15 and 12 C/ 13 isotopomers. Experimental computed chemical shifts cyanuric fluoride have been for C, N, 19 F. Spin‐spin coupling constants measured compared with previous experimental data complete set EOM‐CCSD constants.

Abstract Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) has proven its potential in drug discovery speeding the identification of modulators biological targets. However, exchange chemistries typically take place under specific reaction conditions, with limited tools capable operating physiological parameters. Here we report a catalyzed protein-directed DCC working at low temperatures that allows calcium sensor NCS-1 to find best ligands situ. Ultrafast NMR identifies intermediates acylhydrazone...

Original inhibitors of HIV-1 protease based on a chiral bicyclic guanidinium scaffold linked to short peptidic mimics the terminal sequences and lipophilic group were designed. These prevent dimerization native by an interfacial structure at highly conserved antiparallel β-strand involving both N C termini that substantially account for dimerization. The preorganized spacer introduces additional electrostatic hydrogen-bonding interactions with C-terminal Phe-99 carboxylate. Lipophilic...

Polycationic oligo(chiral bicyclic guanidines) constitute useful non-peptidic penetrating agents for cell uptake and protein surface recognition. We report herein improved selective procedures the preparation of oligoguanidinium scaffolds linked through thioether bonds, with similar or different groups functions at both ends chain. Two synthetic strategies were developed to obtain these compounds in relatively good yields from a common thioacetate precursor: generation disulfide intermediate...
