L-Homophenylalanine (L-HPA) and N(6)-protected-2-oxo-6-amino-hexanoic acid (N(6)-protected-OAHA) can be used as building blocks for the manufacture of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. To synthesize L-HPA and N(6)-protected-OAHA simultaneously from 2-oxo-4-phenylbutanoic acid (OPBA) and N(6)-protected-L-lysine, several variants of Escherichia coli aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) were

A dihydropyrimidinase gene (pydB) was cloned from the moderate thermophilic Brevibacillus agri NCHU1002 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified dihydropyrimidinase exhibited strict d-enantioselectivity for D,L-p-hydroxyphenylhydantoin and D,L-5-[2-(methylthio)ethyl]hydantoin, and non-enantiospecificity for D,L-homophenylalanylhydantoin (D,L-HPAH). The hydrolytic activity of PydB was enhanced

We report the identification of potent agonists of the Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor (GLP-1R). These compounds are short, 11 amino acid peptides containing several unnatural amino acids, including (in particular) analogs of homohomophenylalanine (hhPhe) at the C-terminal position. Typically the functional

For a series of beta-homophenylalanine based inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV ADME properties were improved by the incorporation of amide replacements. These efforts led to a novel series of potent and selective inhibitors of DPP-4 that exhibit an attractive pharmacokinetic

Immune response suppressors are used in the medical praxis to prevent graft rejection after organ transplantation and in the therapy of some autoimmune diseases. Cyclolinopeptide A, naturally existing immunomodulatory peptide, was modified with homophenylalanine in positions 3 (4), 4 (5)
