Synthesis and Enzyme Inhibition activities of new functionalized un-natural amino acids via ring opening of epoxides
NO-20-4484/NRPU/R&D/HEC/14/462
In this project, N-protected glycine amides will be synthesized and will be used as nucleophiles for the ring opening of epoxides. The products of the ring opening reaction will be new functionalized ??-hydroxy glycyl amides which will be further oxidized to yield ??-oxo glycine derivatives. These products will be subjected to various carbonyl addition reactions such as Passerini, Ugi, Reformatsky, Barbier reactions etc. Depending on the reaction conditions and substitution pattern (on epoxides), a variety of biologically active heterocyclic amino acids will be synthesized. The synthesized compounds will be screened for enzyme inhibition activities since similar compounds have been found to show strong enzyme inhibition activities according to literature.
