Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases are enzymes that degrade the extracellular matrix. They have different substrates but similar structural organization. Matrix metalloproteinases are involved in many physiological and pathological processes and there is a need to develop inhibitors for these enzymes in order to modulate the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). There exist two classes of inhibitors: endogenous and synthetics. The development of synthetic inhibitors remains a great challenge due to the low selectivity and specificity, side effects in clinical trials, and instability. An extensive review of currently reported synthetic inhibitors and description of their properties is presented.

Abstract
Diverse structural types of natural products and their mimics have served as targets of opportunity in our laboratory to inspire the discovery and development of new methods and strategies to assemble polyfunctional and polycyclic molecular architectures. Furthermore, our efforts toward identifying novel compounds having useful biological properties led to the creation of new targets, many of which posed synthetic challenges that required the invention of new methodology. In this Perspective, selected examples of how we have exploited a diverse range of natural products and their mimics to create, explore, and solve a variety of problems in chemistry and biology will be discussed. The journey was not without its twists and turns, but the unexpected often led to new revelations and insights. Indeed, in our recent excursion into applications of synthetic organic chemistry to neuroscience, avoiding the more-traveled paths was richly rewarding.

Abstract
Oxygen- and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are widely recognized as key components in many natural products and biologically relevant molecules, but often the problem comes down to methodologies in synthesizing them. Halocyclization of olefinic substrates is a promising strategy in the construction of O- and N-heterocyclic compounds, which further signifies the development of their asymmetric variants. Over the past years, our group has been devoted to this particular area of asymmetric electrophilic halocyclization with chalcogen-containing molecules as catalysts. In this account, the main focus is on the development of our novel chiral catalysts and applications derived from the reaction products.

Abstract
We report an easy access to the salts of the LiC(BMe)11- anion, which greatly simplifies the synthesis of compounds carrying the -C(BMe)11- substituent, including the title anions. The previously recognized and puzzling spontaneous oligomerization of the solid lithium salts CH2=CH(CH2)(n-2)C(BMe)11- Li+ upon storage under ambient conditions is now shown to proceed by a radical mechanism, with the "naked" Li+ cation acting as a catalyst. The degree of polymerization is higher in solution, especially when azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) is used as initiator (up to approximately 50). Initiation by the thermal decomposition of AIBN is also catalyzed by naked Li+, and this initiator is effective at room temperature. Di-tert-butyl peroxide and UV irradiation can also be used. The observation of Li+ catalysis agrees with a prior prediction from ab initio calculations, according to which Li+ complexation of ethylene strongly lowers the activation energy for methyl radical addition. The results bear on the current discussion of the possible sensitivity of radical clocks to their molecular environment and suggest that naked Li+ will catalyze the radical polymerization of simple terminal alkenes.

Abstract
Small peptides exhibit a wide range of biological activities, but although there are some notable exceptions, they are not generally useful as drugs. This has spurred widespread interest in designing peptidomimetics and introducing them as replacements of portions of native peptides to enhance their biological properties. Special attention has been focused upon rigid replacements because of their potential to preorganize the resulting pseudopeptide in a conformation corresponding to its bound structure. Toward this goal, we invented trisubstituted cyclopropanes as novel peptidomimetics, anticipating that the cyclopropane ring would locally orient the backbone and the corresponding amino acid side chain in the biologically active conformation. Selected aspects of the syntheses and applications of these cyclopropane-derived peptidomimetics are presented in this Account.

Abstract
The virally encoded NS3 protease is essential to the life cycle of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), an important human pathogen causing chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The design and synthesis of 15-membered ring beta-strand mimics which are capable of inhibiting the interactions between the HCV NS3 protease enzyme and its polyprotein substrate will be described. The binding interactions between a macrocyclic ligand and the enzyme were explored by NMR and molecular dynamics, and a model of the ligand/enzyme complex was developed.

Abstract
We have previously used trisubstituted cyclopropanes as peptide replacements to induce conformational constraints in known pseudopeptide inhibitors of a number of important enzymes. Cyclopropane-derived peptide mimics are novel in that they are among the few replacements that locally orient the peptide backbone and the amino acid side chain in a predefined manner. Although these dipeptide isosteres have been employed to orient amino acid side chains mimicking the gauche(-) conformation of chi(1)-space, their ability to project the side chains into an anti orientation has not been evaluated. As a first step toward this goal, the conformationally constrained pseudopeptides 8 and 10 and their corresponding flexible analogues 9 and 11 were prepared and tested as inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). These compounds are analogues of 4 and 5, which were known to be potent MMP inhibitors. The anti orientations of the isopropyl side chain in 8 and the aromatic ring in 10 relative to the peptide backbone substituents on the cyclopropane were predicted to correspond to the known orientations of the P1' and P2' side chains of 5 when bound to MMPs. Hence, 8 and 10 were designed explicitly to probe topological features of the S1' or the S2' binding pockets of the MMPs. They were also designed to explore the importance of the P1'-P2' amide group, which is known to form highly conserved hydrogen bonds in several MMP-inhibitor complexes, and the viability of introducing a retro amide linkage between P2' and P3'. Pseudopeptides 8 and 9 were found to be weak competitive inhibitors of a series of MMPs. Any entropically favorable conformational constraints that were induced by the cyclopropane in 8 were thus overwhelmed by the loss of the hydrogen bonding capability associated with the P1'-P2' amide group. On the other hand, compounds 10 and 11, which contain a P2'-P3' retro amide group, were modest competitive inhibitors of a series of MMPs. The results obtained for 10 and 11 suggest that there may be a loss of hydrogen bonding capability associated with introducing the P2'-P3' retro amide group. However, because the conformationally constrained pseudopeptide 10 was significantly more potent than its flexible analogue 11, trisubstituted cyclopropanes related to 3 may serve as useful rigid dipeptide replacements in some biologically active pseudopeptides.

Abstract
Isothermal titration calorimetry and X-ray crystallography have been used to determine the structural and thermodynamic consequences associated with constraining the pTyr residue of the pYEEI ligand for the Src Homology 2 domain of the Src kinase (Src SH2 domain). The conformationally constrained peptide mimics that were used are cyclopropane-derived isosteres whereby a cyclopropane ring substitutes to the N-Calpha-Cbeta atoms of the phosphotyrosine. Comparison of the thermodynamic data for the binding of the conformationally constrained peptide mimics relative to their equivalent flexible analogues as well as a native tetrapeptide revealed an entropic advantage of 5-9 cal mol(-1) K(-1) for the binding of the conformationally constrained ligands. However, an unexpected drop in enthalpy for the binding of the conformationally constrained ligands relative to their flexible analogues was also observed. To evaluate whether these differences reflected conformational variations in peptide binding modes, we have determined the crystal structure of a complex of the Src SH2 domain bound to one of the conformationally constrained peptide mimics. Comparison of this new structure with that of the Src SH2 domain bound to a natural 11-mer peptide (Waksman et al. Cell 1993, 72, 779-790) revealed only very small differences. Hence, cyclopropane-derived peptides are excellent mimics of the bound state of their flexible analogues. However, a rigorous analysis of the structures and of the surface areas at the binding interface, and subsequent computational derivation of the energetic binding parameters, failed to predict the observed differences between the binding thermodynamics of the rigidified and flexible ligands, suggesting that the drop in enthalpy observed with the conformationally constrained peptide mimic arises from sources other than changes in buried surface areas, though the exact origin of the differences remains unclear.

Abstract
Pentasubstituted disiloxanes and silanes of the form HSiMe(2)CH(x)Ph(3-x)(x = 1 or 2) reacted with dimethyl diallylmalonate (1) and other functionalized 1,6-dienes in the presence of a catalytic 1:1 mixture of (N-N)Pd(Me)Cl [N-N = (R)-(+)-4-isopropyl-2-(2-pyridinyl)-2-oxazoline] [(R)-2] and NaBAr(4) [Ar = 3,5-C(6)H(3)(CF(3))(2)] to form the corresponding silylated cyclopentanes in good yield with high diastereoselectivity. The enantioselectivity of cyclization/hydrosilylation of 1 with disiloxanes and functionalized silanes at -20 degrees C increased in the following order: HSiMe(2)OSiMe(3) (75% ee) < HSiMe(2)OSiMe(2)-t-Bu (80% ee) < HSi(i-Pr)(2)OSiMe(3) (86% ee) = HSiMe(2)Bn (86% ee) < HSiMe(2)OSi(i-Pr)(3) (89% ee) < HSiMe(2)OSiPh(2)-t-Bu (91% ee) < HSiMe(2)CHPh(2) (93% ee). Silylated cyclopentanes derived from HSiMe(2)OSiMe(3) were oxidized with excess KF and peracetic acid at room temperature for 48 h to form the corresponding hydroxymethylcyclopentanes in good yield (82-95%). Silylated cyclopentanes derived from HSiMe(2)OSiPh(2)t-Bu were oxidized with a mixture of tetrabutylammonium fluoride and either H(2)O(2) or peracetic acid to form the corresponding alcohols in 48-76% yield. Silylated carbocycles generated from benzhydryldimethylsilane were oxidized with a mixture of TBAF/KHCO(3)/H(2)O(2) in 71-98% yield. Asymmetric cyclization/hydrosilylation/oxidation employing benzhydryldimethylsilane tolerated allylic and terminal olefinic substitution and a range of functional groups.

Abstract
Extensive investigations of asymmetric intermolecular cyclopropanation of terminal alkenes with diazoacetates catalyzed by ruthenium porphyrin [Ru(P*)(CO)(EtOH)] (1, H2P = 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[(1S,4R,5R,8S)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-1,4:5,8-dimethanoanthracene-9-yl]porphyrin) and the application of catalyst 1 to asymmetric intramolecular cyclopropanation of allylic or homoallylic diazoacetates are described. The intermolecular cyclopropanation of styrene and its derivatives with ethyl diazoacetate afforded the corresponding cyclopropyl esters in up to 98% ee with high trans/cis ratios of up to 36 and extremely high catalyst turnovers of up to 1.1 x 10(4). Examination of the effects of temperature, diazoacetate, solvent, and substituent in the intermolecular cyclopropanation reveals that (i) both enantioselectivity and trans selectivity increase with decreasing temperature, (ii) sterically encumbered diazoacetates N2CHCO2R, such as R = Bu(t), and donor solvents, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are beneficial to the trans selectivity, and (iii) electron-donating para substituents on styrene accelerate the cyclopropanations, with the log(k(X)/k(H)) vs sigma(+) plot for para-substituted styrenes p-X-C6H4CH=CH2 (X = MeO, Me, Cl, CF3) exhibiting good linearity with a small negative rho(+) value of -0.44 +/- 0.09. In the case of intramolecular cyclopropanation, complex 1 promoted the decomposition of a series of allylic diazoacetates to form the cyclopropyl lactones in up to 85% ee, contributing the first efficient metalloporphyrin catalyst for an asymmetric intramolecular cyclopropanation. Both the inter- and intramolecular cyclopropanations were proposed to proceed via a reactive chiral ruthenium carbene intermediate. The enantioselectivities in these processes were rationalized on the basis of the X-ray crystal structures of closely related stable chiral carbene complexes [Ru(P*)(CPh2)] (2) and [Ru(P*)(C(Ph)CO2CH2CH=CH2)] (3) obtained from reactions of complex 1 with N2CPh2 and N2C(Ph)CO2CH2CH=CH2, respectively.

Abstract
Trisubstituted cyclopropanes have previously been established as rigid replacements of dipeptide arrays in several biological systems. Toward further evaluating the utility of these dipeptide mimics in the design of novel CA(1)A(2)X-based inhibitors of Ras farnesyltransferase (FTase), the conformationally constrained, diastereomeric pseudopeptides CAbuPsi[COcpCO]FM 7-9, the flexible analogue CAbuPsi[CHOHCH(2)]FM (10), and the tetrapeptide CAbuFM (6) were prepared. The orientations of the two peptide backbone substituents and the phenyl group on the cyclopropane rings in 7-9were specifically designed to probe selected topological features of the hydrophobic binding pocket of the A(2) subsite of FTase. The syntheses of the requisite trisubstituted cyclopropane carboxylic acid 22 and the diastereomeric cyclopropyl lactones 32a,b featured diastereoselective intramolecular cyclopropanations of chiral allylic diazoacetates and a new method for introducing side chains onto the C-terminal amino acid of cyclopropane-derived dipeptide replacements via the opening of an N-Boc-aziridine with an organocuprate. These cyclopropane intermediates were then converted into the targeted FTase inhibitors 7-9 by standard peptide coupling techniques. The pseudopeptides 7-9 were found to be competitive inhibitors of Ras FTase with IC(50)s of 1055 nM for 7, 760 nM for 8, and 7200 nM for 9. The flexible analogue 10 of these constrained inhibitors exhibited a IC(50) of 320 nM and hence was slightly more potent than 7 and 8. All of these pseudopeptides were less potent than the tetrapeptide parent CAbuFM (6), which had an IC(50) of 38 nM. Because 7 and 8 are approximately equipotent, it appears that the orientation of the peptide backbone substituents on the cyclopropane rings in 7 and 8 do not have any significant effect on binding affinity and that multiple binding modes are possible without significant changes in affinity. On the other hand, this flexibility does not extend to the orientation of the side chain of the A(2) residue as 7 and 8 were both nearly 1 order of magnitude more potent than 9. Comparison of the relative potencies of 6 and 10 suggests that the amide linkage between the A(1) and the A(2) residues of CA(1)A(2)X-derived FTase inhibitors is important.

In comparison, a 1:1 mixture of the palladium pyridine-oxazoline complex (N-N)Pd(Me)Cl ¿N-N = (R)-(+)-4-isopropyl-2-(2-pyridinyl)-2-oxazoline (R-5b) and NaBAr(4) (5 mol %) catalyzed the asymmetric cyclization/hydrosilylation of 2 and triethylsilane at -32 degrees C for 24 h to form carbocycle S,S-3 in 82% yield (>95% de, 87% ee) as the exclusive product. Asymmetric diene cyclization catalyzed by complex R-5b was compatible with a range of functional groups and produced carbocycles with up to 91% ee. The procedure also tolerated substitution at a terminal olefinic position and at the allylic position of the diene.

Abstract
It is known that peptide mimics containing trans-substituted cyclopropanes stabilize extended conformations of oligopeptides, and molecular modeling studies now suggest that the corresponding cis-cyclopropane dipeptide isosteres could stabilize a reverse turn. To begin to assess this possibility, a series of cis-substituted cyclopropanes were incorporated as replacements of the Gly(2)-Gly(3) and Phe(4)-Leu(5) dipeptide subunits in Leu-enkephalin (H(2)N-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu-OH), which is believed to bind to opiod receptors in a conformation containing a beta-turn. General methods for the synthesis of the cyclopropane-containing dipeptide isosteres -XaaPsi[COcpCO]Yaa- and -XaaPsi[NHcpNH]Yaa-were developed by a sequence that featured the enantioselective cyclization of allylic diazoacetates catalyzed by the chiral rhodium complexes Rh(2)[(5S)-MEPY](4) and Rh(2)[(5R)-MEPY](4). A useful modification of the Weinreb amidation procedure was applied to the opening of the intermediate lactones with dipeptides, and a novel method for the synthesis of substituted diaminocyclopropanes was also developed. The Leu-enkephalin analogues were tested in a panel of binding and functional assays, and although those derivatives containing cyclopropane replacements of the Gly(2)-Gly(3) exhibited low micromolar affinity for the mu-receptor, analogues containing such replacements for the Phe(4)-Leu(5) subunit did not bind with significant affinity to any of the opioid receptors. These results are discussed.

Abstract
Toward establishing the general efficacy of using trisubstituted cyclopropanes as peptide mimics to stabilize extended peptide structures, the cyclopropanes 20a-d were incorporated as replacements into 9-13, which are analogues of the known HIV-1 protease inhibitors 14 and 15. The syntheses of 20a-d commenced with the Rh2[5(S)-MEPY]4-catalyzed cyclization of the allylic diazoesters 16a-d to give the cyclopropyl lactones 17a-d in high enantiomeric excess. Opening of the lactone moiety using the Weinreb protocol and straightforward refunctionalization of the intermediate amides 18a-d gave 20a-d. A similar sequence of reactions was used to prepare the N-methyl-2-pyridyl analogue 28. Coupling of 20a-d and 28 with the known diamino diol 22 delivered 9-13. Pseudopeptides 9-12 were found to be competitive inhibitors of wild-type HIV-1 protease in biological assays having Kis of 0.31-0.35 nM for 9, 0.16-0.21 nM for 10, 0.47 nM for 11, and 0.17 nM for 12; these inhibitors were thus approximately equipotent to the known inhibitor 14(IC50 = 0.22 nM) from which they were derived. On the other hand 13 (Ki = 80 nM) was a weaker inhibitor than its analogue 15 (Ki = 0.11 nM). The solution structures of 9 and 10 were analyzed by NMR spectroscopy and simulated annealing procedures that included restraints derived from homo- and heteronuclear coupling constants and NOEs; because of the molecular symmetry of9 and 10, a special protocol to treat the NOE data was used. The final structure was checked by restrained and free molecular dynamic calculations using an explicit DMSO solvent box. The preferred solution conformations of 9 and 10 are extended structures that closely resemble the three-dimensional structure of 10 bound to HIV-1 protease as determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis of the complex. This work convincingly demonstrates that extended structures of peptides may be stabilized by the presence of substituted cyclopropanes that serve as peptide replacements. Moreover, the linear structure enforced in solution by the two cyclopropane rings in the pseudopeptides 9-12 appears to correspond closely to the biologically active conformation of the more flexible inhibitors 14 and 15. The present work, which is a combination of medicinal, structural, and quantum chemistry, thus clearly establishes that cyclopropanes may be used as structural constraints to reduce the flexibility of linear pseudopeptides and to help enforce the biologically active conformation of such ligands in solution.
