Several CF3Se-substituted α-amino acid derivatives, such as (R)-2-amino-3-((trifluoromethyl)selanyl)propanoates (5 a/6 a), (S)-2-amino-4-((trifluoromethyl)selanyl)butanoates (5 b/6 b), (2R,3R)-2-amino-3-((trifluoromethyl)selanyl)butanoates (5 c/6 c), (R)-2-((S)-2-amino-3-phenylpropanamido)-3-((trifluoromethyl)selanyl)propanoates (11 a/12 a), and (R)-2-(2-aminoacetamido)-3-((trifluoromethyl)selanyl)propanoates (11 b/12 b), were readily synthesized from natural amino acids and [Me4N][SeCF3]. The primary in vitro cytotoxicity assays revealed that compounds 6 a, 11 a and 12 a were more effective cell growth inhibitors than the other tested CF3Se-substituted derivatives towards MCF-7, HCT116, and SK-OV-3 cells, with their IC50 values being less than 10 μM for MCF-7 and HCT116 cells. This study indicated the potentials of CF3Se moiety as a pharmaceutically relevant group in the design and synthesis of novel biologically active molecules.

Oxazoles and thiazoles are commonly found moieties in nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) and ribosomally synthesized post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), which are important biomolecules present in the environment and in natural waters. From previous studies, they seem susceptible to oxidation by singlet oxygen (1O2); therefore, we designed and synthesized model oxazole- and thiazole-peptides and measured their1O2 bimolecular reaction rate constants, showing slow photooxidation under environmental conditions. We reasoned their stability through the electron-withdrawing effect of the carboxamide substituent. Reaction products were elucidated and support a reaction mechanism involving cycloaddition followed by a series of rearrangements. The first1O2 bimolecular reaction rate constant for a RiPP, the thiazole-containing peptide Aerucyclamide A, was measured and found in good agreement with the model peptide's rate constant, highlighting the potential of using model peptides to study the transformations of other environmentally relevant NRPs and RiPPs.

A combinatorial library of novel oxazol-thiazole bis-heterocycles was synthesized in good to excellent overall yields with high purity using a solution and solid-phase parallel synthesis approach. Oxazole amino acids, prepared from serine methyl ester and
