Abstract
Tyrosine sulfation is an important post-translational modification of peptides and proteins which underpins and modulates many protein-protein interactions. In order to overcome the inherent instability of the native modification, we report the synthesis of two sulfonate analogues and their incorporation into two thrombin-inhibiting sulfopeptides. The effective mimicry of these sulfonate analogues for native sulfotyrosine was validated in the context of their thrombin inhibitory activity and binding mode, as determined by X-ray crystallography.

Abstract
Recent advances in the chemistry of peptides containing fluorinated phenylalanines (Phe) represents a hot topic in drug research over the last few decades. ᴅ- or ʟ-fluorinated phenylalanines have had considerable industrial and pharmaceutical applications and they have been expanded also to play an important role as potential enzyme inhibitors as well as therapeutic agents and topography imaging of tumor ecosystems using PET. Incorporation of fluorinated aromatic amino acids into proteins increases their catabolic stability especially in therapeutic proteins and peptide-based vaccines. This review seeks to summarize the different synthetic approaches in the literature to prepare ᴅ- or ʟ-fluorinated phenylalanines and their pharmaceutical applications with a focus on published synthetic methods that introduce fluorine into the phenyl, the β-carbon or the α-carbon of ᴅ-or ʟ-phenylalanines.

Abstract
The mechanism of the Sonogashira reaction in methanol was studied in detail using pressurized sample infusion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PSI-ESI-MS). Several key intermediates were identified and their structures were assigned by MS/MS studies. Cationic and anionic charged-tagged substrates were employed to look into the mechanism of this reaction from variety of angles. A reverse kinetic isotope effect was observed in which the reaction rate is accelerated in deuterated solvents (kH/kD = 0.6). The reaction was found to be zero order with respect to the aryl iodide and first order with respect to the phenylacetylene. A Hammett parameter of ρ = 1.4 indicates that the reaction is more favorable for aryl iodides with para EWGs. No evidence of product inhibition, dimerization of palladium catalyst, or agglomeration were observed. However, catalyst decomposition was inferred from a non-zero intercept in the plot of catalyst loading versus reaction rate. Monitoring the reaction by PSI-ESI-(-)MS on neutral and negatively charged substrates at variety of concentrations and conditions did not reveal any detectable anionic palladium complexes. Likewise no evidence of carbopalladation and relevant intermediates in the absence of a base was observed.

Abstract
Sulfonation is prized for its ability to impart water-solubility to hydrophobic molecules such as dyes. This modification is usually performed as a final step, since sulfonated molecules are poorly soluble in most organic solvents, which complicates their synthesis and purification. This work compares the intrinsic lability of different sulfonate esters, identifying new sulfonate protecting groups and mild, selective cleavage conditions.

Abstract
The trichloroethyl (TCE) group is shown to be a viable protecting group for sulfonates. TCE-protected sulfonates were found to be particularly stable to acid, a key characteristic that led to a straightforward enantioselective synthesis of l-FmocPhe(p-CH(2)SO(3)TCE)OH. This was used as a building block for the solid phase synthesis of an octapeptide corresponding to P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 residues 43-50 (PSGL-1(43-50)) in which sulfotyrosine residues 46 and 48 were replaced with (sulfonomethyl)phenylalanine (SmP), an important hydrolytically stable sulfotyrosine mimic.

Abstract
The first enantioselective syntheses of L-4-(sulfonamidomethyl)phenylalanine and L-[sulfonamido(difluoromethyl)]phenylalanine suitably protected for peptide syntheses are described. A key step in the synthesis of L-(sulfonamidomethyl)phenylalanine was an oxidative chlorination on Ac-L-Phe(4-CH2SCOCH3)-OEt to give crude Ac-L-Phe(4-CH2SO2Cl)-OEt, which could be reacted with amines to give the corresponding sulfonamides. Key to the preparation of L-[sulfonamido(difluoromethyl)]phenylalanine was a highly enantioselective reaction involving William's auxiliary and a benzylic bromide intermediate. These amino acids were incorporated into two peptide sequences, DADE-X-LNH2 and FmocGlu(OBn)-X-LNH2, which have previously been employed as platforms for assessing pTyr mimics for inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). Inhibition studies with these and other peptides and PTP1B revealed that good inhibition could be obtained using the tripeptide platform, although the presence of a pTyr mimic was not required for good inhibition. These results suggest that the FmocGlu(OBn)-X-LNH2 tripeptide platform is not suitable for assessing pTyr mimics for PTP1B inhibition.

Abstract
Three peptides, 7-9, bearing sulfono(difluoromethyl)phenylalanine (F(2)Smp, 2), a nonhydrolyzable, monoanionic phosphotyrosine mimetic, were prepared and evaluated as PTP1B inhibitors. The most effective inhibitor was the nonapeptide, ELEF(F(2)Smp)MDYE-NH(2), (9) which exhibited a K(i) of 360 nM. A comparison of F(2)Smp-bearing peptides 7 [DADE(F(2)Smp)LNH(2), K(i)=3.4 microM] and 8 [EEDE(F(2)Smp)LNH(2), K(i)=0.74 microM] with their phosphono(difluoromethyl)phenylalanine (F(2)Pmp)-bearing analogues indicated that F(2)Smp is not as effective a pTyr mimetic as F(2)Pmp by 100- to 130-fold. Although F(2)Smp is not as effective as F(2)Pmp, a comparison of peptide 7 with analagous peptides bearing other monoanionic pTyr mimetics recently reported in the literature indicates that F(2)Smp is about 65-fold more effective than any other non-hydrolyzable, monanionic pTyr mimetic reported to date. To further assess the difluoromethylenesulfonic acid (DFMS) group as a monoanionic phosphate mimetic, a series of 24 nonpeptidyl biaryl compounds bearing the DFMS group were prepared using polymer-supported methodologies and screened for PTP1B inhibition. Several of these compounds were selected for further study and their IC(50)'s compared to their difluoromethylenephosphonic (DFMP) analogues. The differences in IC(50)'s between the DFMS and DFMP non-peptidyl compounds was not as great as with the F(2)Smp- and F(2)Pmp-bearing peptides. Possible reasons for this and its implication to the design of small molecule PTP1B inhibitors is discussed.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) are signal-transducing enzymes that dephosphorylate intracellular proteins that have phosphorylated tyrosine residues. It has been demonstrated that protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an attractive therapeutic target because of its involvement in regulating insulin sensitivity (Elcheby et al. Science 1999, 283, 1544-1548). The identification of a second binding site in PTP1B (Puius et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.1997, 94, 13420-13425) suggests a new strategy for inhibitor design, where appropriate compounds may be made to simultaneously occupy both binding sites to gain much higher affinity and selectivity. To test this hypothesis and gain further insights into the structural basis of inhibitor binding, we have determined the crystal structure of PTP1B complexed with two non-peptidyl inhibitors, 4 and 5, both of which contain two aryl difluoromethylenephosphonic acid groups, a nonhydrolyzable phosphate mimetic. The structures were determined and refined to 2.35 and 2.50 A resolution, respectively. Although one of the inhibitors seems to have satisfied the perceived requirement for dual binding, it did not bind both the active site and the adjacent noncatalytic binding site as expected. The second or distal phosphonate group instead extends into the solvent and makes water-mediated interactions with Arg-47. The selectivity of the more potent of these two inhibitors, as well as four other inhibitors bearing two such phosphate mimetics for PTP1B versus seven other PTPases, was examined. In general, selectivity was modest to good when compared to PTPases Cdc25a, PTPmeg-1, PTPbeta, and CD45. However, selectivity was generally poor when compared to other PTPases such as SHP-1, SHP-2, and especially TCPTP, for which almost no selectivity was found. The implications these results have concerning the utility of dual-binding inhibitors are discussed.
