Yuan, Zhenbo;Lu, Liushen;Liu, Meiling;Liu, Xuanzhong;Liu, Changmei;Yin, Dejing;Zhang, Yan;Rao, Yijian research published 《 Natural product cercosporin as a bioinspired photocatalyst for the synthesis of peptides containing kynurenine via an energy transfer mechanism》, the research content is summarized as follows. Cercosporin-catalyzed photo-mediated oxidation for the rapid and efficient synthesis of kynurenine (Kyn) derivatives as well as Kyn-containing peptides under mild conditions was developed, exhibiting great functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope to produce various nonproteinogenic peptides. This environmentally friendly process utilized the natural product cercosporin (CP) as a metal-free photocatalyst, visible light as a sustainable energy source, and oxygen as a green oxidant. Moreover, the synthetic utility of this photooxidation reaction was exemplified by the gram-scale synthesis employing crude CP conveniently obtained from the fermentation broth of Cercospora, and the successive transformation to kynurenine. Finally, preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that an energy transfer pathway was involved in the reaction.
35737-15-6, Nalpha-FMOC-L-Tryptophan,also known as Fmoc-Trp-OH， is a useful research compound. Its molecular formula is C26H22N2O4 and its molecular weight is 426.5 g/mol. The purity is usually 95%.
Nα-Fmoc-L-Tryptophan is an N-Fmoc protected form of L-Tryptophan (T947210). L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that is important for cell proliferation and the biosynthesis of proteins. It is a precursor to Serotonin (HCl: S274980), a neurotransmitter that compound that aids in sleep and mental state. L-Tryptophan is also thought to cause eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome.
Fmoc-Trp-OH is an amino acid derivative
Fmoc-L-Trp-OH is an amide that contains a low bioavailability and inhibits the transfer of amino acids to ribosomes. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in cell culture and to have antimicrobial activity. Fmoc-L-Trp-OH is synthesized by reacting Naphthalene with glycine, followed by hydrolysis of the ester group under trifluoroacetic acid. The product is then conjugated with a polypeptide. This method of synthesis was developed as a way to produce peptides that are difficult to synthesize using solid-phase chemistry., Category: indole-building-block
