Nat Commun 2024; 15:5372. [PMID: 38918367 PMCID: PMC11199569 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-49329-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The synthesis of constrained 12-membered rings is notably difficult. The main challenges result from constraints during the linear peptide cyclization. Attempts to overcome constraints through excessive activation frequently cause peptidyl epimerization, while insufficient activation of the C-terminus hampers cyclization and promotes intermolecular oligomer formation. We present a β-thiolactone framework that enables the synthesis of cyclo-tetrapeptides via direct aminolysis. This tactic utilizes a mechanism that restricts C-terminal carbonyl rotation while maintaining high reactivity, thereby enabling efficient head-to-tail amidation, reducing oligomerization, and preventing epimerization. A broad range of challenging cyclo-tetrapeptides ( > 20 examples) are synthesized in buffer and exhibits excellent tolerance toward nearly all proteinogenic amino acids. Previously unattainable macrocycles, such as cyclo-L-(Pro-Tyr-Pro-Val), have been produced and identified as μ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists, with an EC50 value of 2.5 nM. Non-epimerizable direct aminolysis offers a practical solution for constrained peptide cyclization, and the discovery of MOR agonist activity highlights the importance of overcoming synthetic challenges for therapeutic development.

Abstract
The β-hydroxy sulfides are an important class of organosulfur compounds that have a key role in the synthesis of bioactive compounds containing biological and natural products. The thiolysis of epoxides is the most common and best route for the synthesis of β-hydroxy sulfides. During the last decade, the applications of a diverse range of catalysts and promoter agents in green and organic mediums as well as under solvent-free conditions for the regioselective ring-opening reactions of epoxides with thiols in order to synthesize β-hydroxy sulfides have been studied by various research groups. This review is focused on the important achievements reported in the literature for the thiolysis of epoxides.
