The invention discloses a method for synthesizing ubenimex. The method comprises the following steps: by taking D-Boc-phenyl alaninal as a raw material, sequentially preparing hydroxynitrile, carrying out a nitrile hydrolysis reaction, performing amino protection, performing chiral resolution on (2RS,3R)-3-tert-butoxyacylamino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyric acid, and synthesizing (S)-phenyl-2-((2S,3R)-3-(tert-butoxyacylamino)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyramide)-4-mevalonate, thereby synthesizing the ubenimex. According to the synthetic method disclosed by the invention, the defect that the resolving agent used in the conventional synthetic method is high in toxicity (such as strychnine) or high in price (such as alpha-phenylethylamine) is overcome, the synthetic method is simple in steps and low in cost, and use of reagents such as strychnine is avoided; and moreover, a dextro-amino compound is taken as the chiral resolution agent, the price is low, the operation is simple, the stirring and recrystallization time is shortened, and the synthetic efficiency is greatly improved.

The malarial PfA-M1 metallo-aminopeptidase is considered a putative drug target. The natural product dipeptide mimetic, bestatin, is a potent inhibitor of PfA-M1. Herein we present a new, efficient, and high-yielding protocol for the synthesis of bestatin derivatives from natural and unnatural N-Boc-d-amino acids. A diverse library of bestatin derivatives was synthesized with variants at the side chain of either the α-hydroxyβ-amino acid (P1) or the adjacent naturalα-amino acid (P1′). Surprisingly, we found that extended aromatic side chains at the P1 position resulted in potent inhibition against PfA-M1. To understand these data, we determined the X-ray cocrystal structures of PfA-M1 with two derivatives having either a Tyr(OMe) 15 or Tyr(OBzl) 16 at the P1 position and observed substantial inhibitor-induced rearrangement of the primary loop within the PfA-M1 pocket that interacts with the P1 side chain. Our data provide important insights for the rational design of more potent and selective inhibitors of this enzyme that may eventually lead to new therapies for malaria.

A convenient synthesis of the protease inhibitor epibestatin, a useful component in protease inhibition cocktails for use in proteomics research, is described. The synthesis sequence consists of seven steps, starting from phenylacetaldehyde, yielding enantiopure epibestatin in 8% overall yield. A regioselective Mitsunobu transformation of a diol is the key step in the sequence. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
