Abstract
The design of novel and functional biomimetic foldamers remains a major challenge in creating mimics of native protein structures. Herein, we report the stabilization of a remarkably short β-sheet by incorporating N-(hydroxy)glycine (Hyg) residues into the backbone of peptides. These peptide-peptoid hybrids form unique parallel β-sheet structures by self-assembly upon hydrogenation. Our spectroscopic and crystallographic data suggest that the local conformational perturbations induced by N-(hydroxy)amides are outweighed by a network of strong interstrand hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen, synthesizing two major siderophores, pyoverdine (Pvd) and pyochelin (Pch), to cover its needs in iron(III). If the high affinity and specificity of Pvd toward iron(III) (pFe = 27.0) was well described in the literature, the physicochemical and coordination properties of Pch toward biologically relevant metals (Fe(III), Cu(II) or Zn(II)) have been only scarcely investigated. We report a thorough physico-chemical investigation of Pch (potentiometry, spectrophotometries, ESI/MS) that highlighted its moderate but significantly higher affinity for Fe(3+) (pFe = 16.0 at p[H] 7.4) than reported previously. We also demonstrated that Pch strongly chelates divalent metals such as Zn(II) (pZn = 11.8 at p[H] 7.4) and Cu(II) (pCu = 14.9 at p[H] 7.4) and forms predominantly 1 : 2 (M(2+)/Pch) complexes. Kinetic studies revealed that the formation of the ferric Pch complexes proceeds through a Eigen-Wilkins dissociative ligand interchange mechanism involving two protonated species of Pch and the Fe(OH)(2+) species of Fe(III). Our physico-chemical parameters supports the previous biochemical studies which proposed that siderophores are not only devoted to iron(III) shuttling but most likely display other specific biological role in the subtle metals homeostasis in microorganisms. This work also represents a step toward deciphering the role of siderophores throughout evolution.

Abstract
Novel trihydroxamate-containing peptides were designed to mimic desferrioxamine (Desferal(R), DFO, a naturally occurring siderophore) but possess distinct conformational restrictions and varied lipophilicity to probe structure vs. metal coordination. The synthesis was performed via fragment condensation of hydroxamate-containing oligopeptides such as Fmoc-Leu- Psi[CON(OBz)]-Phe-Ala-Pro-OH and H-Leu-Psi[CON(OBz)]-Phe-Ala-Pro-OBu(t) (Fmoc: 9-fluor enylmethoxycarbonyl; OBz: benzyl; OBu(t): tert-butyl) either in solution or on a solid support. The metal-binding properties were studied by electrospray ionization-mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS), ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectroscopy, and (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Similar to the dihydroxamate analogs previously explored [Biopolymers (Peptide Science), 2003, Vol. 71, pp. 489-515], the compounds with three hydroxamates arrayed at 10-atom intervals, i.e., H-[Leu-Psi[CON(OH)]-Phe-Ala-Pro](3)-OH (P1), cyclo[Leu-Psi[CON(OH)]-Phe-Ala-Pro](3) (P2), and H-[Leu-Psi(CONOH)-Phe-Ala-Pro](2)-Leu-NHOH (P7), exhibited high affinities for intramolecular coordination with Fe(III) and Ga(III). As expected, both P1 and P2 showed higher relative Fe(III)-binding affinities than the corresponding dihydroxamate-containing peptide analogs (P11 and P12). Even though both P1 and P2 did not compete with DFO in the relative metal-binding affinity in both solution and gas phases, P1, P2, and DFO exhibited similar relative binding selectivities to 11 different metal ions including Fe(III), Fe(II), Al(III), Ga(III), In(III), Zn(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Gd(III), and Mn(II). Compared to the other metal ions, they had higher relative binding affinities with Fe(III), Fe(II), Al(III), Ga(III), and In(III). The decreased metal-binding affinities of P1 and P2 in comparison with DFO suggested the conformational restrictions of their backbones perturb their three hydroxamate groups from optimal hexadentate orientations for metal coordination. As detected by ESI-MS, P2 was distinguished from both P1 and DFO by solvation of its Ga(III) and Fe(III) complexes (such as acetonitrile or water), thereby stabilizing the resulting complexes in the gas phase. Noteworthy, P2 led to 69% death rate in Hela cells at a concentration of 50 microM, exhibiting higher cytotoxicity than DFO in vitro despite its much lower affinity for iron. This enhanced toxicity may simply reflect the increased lipophilicity of the cyclic trihydroxamate (P2) together with the improvements in its cell penetration, and/or subsequent intracellular molecular recognition of both side chains and hydroxamate groups. The cytotoxicity was significantly suppressed by precoordination with Ga(III) or Fe(III), suggesting a mechanism of toxicity via sequestration of essential metal ions as well as the importance of curbing the metal coordination before targeting. The potential of such siderophore-mimicking peptides in oncology needs further exploration.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] This article reports a straightforward and unprecedented process of AlCl3-assisted oxaziridine ring opening by nitrogen containing nucleophiles, in a totally anhydrous milieu. Under these conditions, nucleophiles exclusively attack the carbon atom of the three-membered heterocycles, obtained from methyl esters of natural alpha-amino acids, generating N-hydroxy-alpha-L-amino acid methyl esters. No nitrones, amides, or other side products, either from unwanted rearrangements or due to the attack of the nucleophile on the N atom of the oxaziridine systems, are formed. The hydroxylamine compounds are recovered in excellent yields, after their site-specific conversion into the corresponding O-triisopropylsilyl derivatives, by exposure to triisopropylsilyl triflate in the presence of 1H-imidazole. Derivatization, performed immediately after the recovery of the N-hydroxylated precursors, allows the chiral integrity of the asymmetric alpha-carbon atoms in the amino acid methyl esters to be retained. It also protects the obtained compounds from frame degradation by disproportionation. N-Hydroxy-O-triisopropylsilyl-alpha-L-amino acid methyl esters are important intermediates in the study of natural alpha-L-amino acid metabolic pathways and are ideal candidates as starting materials in the synthesis of biologically, pharmacologically, and nutritionally important N-hydroxy peptides.

Abstract
Previously, an artificial siderophore complex, the iron(III) complex with tris[2-[(N-acetyl-N-hydroxy)glycylamino]ethyl]amine (TAGE), was constructed in order to understand the effect of intramolecular hydrogen bonding interaction on the siderophore function, and its structural characterization in the solid state was reported (Inorg. Chem. 2001, 40, 190). In this paper, the solution behavior of the M(III)-TAGE (M = Fe, Ga) system has been investigated using (1)H NMR, UV-vis, and FAB mass spectroscopies in efforts to characterize the biological implication of hydrogen bonding networks between the amide hydrogens and coordinating aminohydroxy oxygens of the complex. The temperature dependence of (1)H NMR spectra for Ga(III) complex of TAGE indicates that hydrogen bonding networks are maintained in polar solvents such as DMSO-d(6) and D(2)O. The UV-vis spectra of the Fe(III)-TAGE system under various pH conditions have shown that TAGE forms a tris(hydroxamato)iron(III) complex in an aqueous solution in the pH range 4-8. By contrast, tris[2-[(N-acetyl-N-hydroxy)propylamido]ethyl]amine (TAPE; TAGE analogue that is difficult to form intramolecular hydrogen bonding networks), which has been synthesized as a comparison of TAGE, forms both of bis- and tris(hydroxamato)iron(III) complexes in the same pH range. Both the stability constants (log beta(FeTAGE) = 28.6; beta(FeTAGE) = [Fe(III)TAGE]/([Fe(3+)][TAGE(3)(-)])) and pM (-log[Fe(3+)]) value for Fe(III)TAGE (pM 25) are comparable to those of a natural siderophore ferrichrome (log beta = 29.1 and pM 25.2). The kinetic study of the TAGE-Fe(III) system has given the following rate constants: the rate of the ligand exchange reaction between Fe(III)TAGE and EDTA is 6.7 x 10(-4) s(-1), and the removal rates of iron from diferric bovine plasma transferrin by TAGE are 2.8 x 10(-2) and 6.0 x 10(-3) min(-1). These values are also comparable to those of a natural siderophore desferrioxamine B under the same conditions. In a biological activity experiment, TAGE has promoted the growth of the siderophore-auxotroph Gram-positive bacterium Microbacterium flavescens, suggesting that TAGE mimics the activity of ferrichrome. These results indicate that the artificial siderophore with intramolecular hydrogen bonding networks, TAGE, is a good structural and functional model for a natural ferrichrome.

Abstract
Peptide-bond modification via N-hydroxylation has been explored as a strategy for metal coordination to induce conformational rigidity and orient side chains for specific molecular recognition. N-Hydroxyamides were prepared by reacting N-benzyloxyamino acid esters or amides with Fmoc-AA-Cl/AgCN (Fmoc: 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl; AA: amino acid) in toluene or Fmoc-AA/HATU/DIEA in DMF (HATU: O-(7-azabenzotriazol-lyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate; DIEA: N,N-diisopropylethylamine; DMF: N,N-dimethylformamide), followed by deblocking of benzyl protecting groups. Novel linear and cyclic N,N'-dihydroxypeptides were efficiently assembled using Fmoc chemistry in solution and/or on a solid support. As screened by electrospray ionization-mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS), high iron-binding selectivity and affinity were attainable. Compounds having a spacer of two alpha-amino acids between the amino acids bearing the two hydroxamates, i.e., a spacer of 8 atoms, generated 1:1 iron complex species in the gas phase. Moreover, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), uv/vis, and (1)H-NMR analyses provided direct evidence for complex formations in solution. Significantly, the representative compound cyclo(Leu-Psi[CON(OH)]-Phe-Ala-Pro)(2) (P8) may serve as a robust metal-binding scaffold in construction of a metal-binding library for versatile metal-mediated molecular recognition.

Abstract
To gain knowledge about biological iron mobilization, tripodal monotopic and ditopic hydroxamate ligands (1 and 2) are prepared, and their iron-chelating properties are investigated. Ligands 1 and 2 contain three Ala-Ala-beta-(HO)Ala units and three [Ala-Ala-beta-(HO)Ala](2) units connected with tris(alanylaminoethyl)amine, respectively, and form six-coordinate octahedral complexes with iron(III) in aqueous solution. Ligand 1 and 1 equiv of iron give Fe-1, and ligand 2 and 1 or 2 equiv of iron produce Fe(1)-2, or Fe(2)-2. These complexes exhibit absorptions at lambda(max) 425 nm of epsilon 2800-3000/Fe, characteristic of tris(hydroxamato)iron(III) complexes, and preferentially assume the Delta-cis configuration. Loading of Fe(III) on 1, 2, and M(III)-loaded ligands (M-1 and M(1)-2, M = Al, Ga, In) with ammonium ferric oxalate at pH 5.4 is performed, and the second-order rate constants of loading with respect to Fe(III) and the ligand or M(III)-loaded ligands are determined. The rates of loading of Fe(III) on M-1 increase in the order Al-1 < Ga-1 < In-1, and those on M(1)-2 in the order Al(1)-2 < Ga(1)-2 < Fe(1)-2 < In(1)-2, indicating that the dissociation tendency of M(III) ions from the hydroxamate ligand is an important factor. The iron complexes formed with 2 are subjected to an iron removal reaction with excess EDTA in aqueous pH 5.4 solution at 25.0 degrees C, and the collected data are analyzed by curve-fitting using appropriate first-order kinetic equations, providing the rate constants for the upper site and the lower site of 2. Similar analysis for FeM-2 affords removal rate constants for Fe(up)-2, M(up)-2, and Fe(low)-2, and the iron residence probability at each site. The protonation constants of the hydroxamate groups for 1 and 2 (pK(1,) pK(2), pK(3), and pK(1,) pK(2)., pK(6)) are determined, and the proton-independent stability constants for Fe-1, the upper site of Fe(2)-2, and the lower site of Fe(1)-2 are 10(28), 10(29), and 10(28.5), respectively.

Abstract
Two series of peptidomimetics containing an N-hydroxyamino acid core structure were prepared by mixed solution solid-phase synthesis and tested for inhibitory activity against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) protease (Pr) and the virus in cell culture. In general, N-hydroxy Gly containing pseudopeptides displayed modest HIV Pr inhibition (IC50 > or = 930 nM). In the N-hydroxy Phe derivatives, Fmoc-Phe-psi[CO-N(OH)]-Phe-Pro-NHtBu was the best inhibitor of the series (IC50 = 144nM) showing satisfactory inhibition of HIV replication in cell culture (ED50 = 98 nM) and remarkable stability against cell culture and plasma enzymes.

Abstract
Combining three units of one of H-(alanyl)n-beta-(HO)alanyl peptides (n = 1-3) with nitrilotriacetic acid affords tripodal peptide hydroxamate ligands (1L, 1D, 2LL, 2DL, and 3LLL, where each L or D denotes the L- or D-alanyl residue). These ligands form six-coordinate octahedral complexes (Fe-1L, Fe-1D, Fe-2LL, Fe-2DL, and Fe-3LLL) with iron(III) in aqueous near neutral pH solution, and the stability and the chirality of the complexes formed depend on the alanyl residues incorporated. Thus Fe-2LL is the most stable against attack of H+ and OH- ions and the least labile in the iron(III) removal by EDTA. The CD spectra show a predominance of the A configuration for Fe-1D, Fe-2LL, Fe-2DL, and Fe-3LLL, but the opposite delta configuration for Fe-1L. These ligands and their gallium(III) complexes are studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy in DMSO-d6 solution. CD and NMR spectral analysis, aided by molecular model examinations, indicates that critical factors in controlling the configuration and the stability of the complexes are (1) the hydroxamate-carrying alanyl residue, (2) the expanse of an interior space in the ligand, and (3) an interstrand amide NH hydrogen bond; the latter bonding is possible with ligands 2LL and 2DL. A microbial growth promotion activity test shows that ligands 1L, 2LL, and 3LLL all act as iron-transporting agents.

Abstract
An N-hydroxylated peptide bond was found to be cleaved faster by an endopeptidase than the corresponding peptide bond. This preferred enzymatic cleavage was detected during proteolytic studies of the N-hydroxy peptide SIINFpsi[CO-N(OH)]GKL in the presence of the serine protease alpha-chymotrypsin in comparison with the natural SIINFEKL epitope and related analogs. For the first time, the replacement of the peptide bond by another motif afforded an oligomer which is degraded faster than the natural peptide. The N-hydroxy peptide is also more sensitive to the enzymatic degradation than the Gly-containing analog SIINFGKL. A tentative explanation for the unexpected higher cleavage rate of the CO-N(OH) bond is given on the basis of the N-OH intramolecular H-bonding capacity as indicated by NMR experiments. This property of the hydroxamate group may be of particular advantage for the introduction of a specific cleavage site within peptidomimetics or in prodrugs.

Abstract
The protonation equilibria of some 4-substituted benzohydroxamic acids 4-X(C(6)H(4)CONHOH) (X = H, OMe, Cl) have been investigated in aqueous sulfuric, perchloric, and hydrochloric acids at 25 degrees C UV spectrophotometrically. The Hammett acidity function method, the Bunnett-Olsen method, Cox-Yates excess acidity function method, and Marziano-Cimino-Passerini method have been compared in order to rationalize the differences observed between pK(BH)()+ values determined by each method. An attempt has been made to apply multivariate analysis to separate the effect of protonation from the medium effect for benzohydroxamic acid.

Abstract
A novel class of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) ligands containing an N-hydroxyamide bond was designed on the basis of the natural epitope SIINFEKL, and synthesized on solid phase. The capacity of these compounds to bind to the MHC-I molecule H-2Kb and to induce T cell responses was analysed in comparison with the corresponding glycine containing variant of SIINFEKL. Binding to the MHC molecule was diminished by the N-hydroxy group at positions 2 and 3 of the oligomer and improved in the case of positions 4, 5, 6 and 7. No change was seen for position 1. The efficacy of T cell stimulation was strongly reduced by the modification of all positions except for position 1. A complete loss of activity was found for the N-hydroxy variant in positions 4 and 6. N-Hydroxy amide-containing peptides displayed an enhanced stability to enzymatic degradation. This new class of MHC ligand can become instrumental as immunomodulatory reagent in various disease situations.
