Abstract
Inhibitors of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) main protease (Mpro) such as nirmatrelvir (NTV) and ensitrelvir (ETV) have proven effective in reducing the severity of COVID-19, but the presence of resistance-conferring mutations in sequenced viral genomes raises concerns about future drug resistance. Second-generation oral drugs that retain function against these mutants are thus urgently needed. We hypothesized that the covalent hepatitis C virus protease inhibitor boceprevir (BPV) could serve as the basis for orally bioavailable drugs that inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Mpro more efficiently than existing drugs. Performing structure-guided modifications of BPV, we developed a picomolar-affinity inhibitor, ML2006a4, with antiviral activity, oral pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic efficacy similar or superior to those of NTV. A crucial feature of ML2006a4 is a derivatization of the ketoamide reactive group that improves cell permeability and oral bioavailability. Last, ML2006a4 was found to be less sensitive to several mutations that cause resistance to NTV or ETV and occur in the natural SARS-CoV-2 population. Thus, anticipatory design can preemptively address potential resistance mechanisms to expand future treatment options against coronavirus variants.

Abstract
Several variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were observed since the outbreak of the global pandemic at the end of 2019. The trimeric spike glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is crucial for the viral access to the host cell by interacting with the human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Most of the mutations take place in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the S1 subunit of the trimeric spike glycoprotein. In this work, we targeted both S1 and S2 subunits of the spike protein in the wild type (WT) and the Omicron variant guided by the interaction of the neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. Virtual screening of two different peptidomimetics databases, ChEMBL and ChemDiv databases, was carried out against both S1 and S2 subunits. The use of these two databases provided diversity and enhanced the chance of finding protein-protein interaction inhibitors (PPIIs). Multi-layered filtration, based on physicochemical properties and docking scores, of nearly 114,000 compounds found in the ChEMBL database and nearly 14,000 compounds in the ChemDiv database was employed. Four peptidomimetics compounds were effective against both the WT and the Omicron S1 subunit with the minimum binding free energy of -25 kcal/mol. Five peptidomimetics compounds were effective against the S2 subunit with the minimum binding free energy of -19 kcal/mol. The dynamical cross-correlation matrix insinuated that the mutations of the RBD in the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus altered the correlated conformational motion of the different regions of the protein.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
A novel procedure for the synthesis of α,α-diaryl-α-amino acid derivatives has been developed. Silver oxide catalyzes the conjugate addition of α-aryl isocyanoacetates to o-quinone diimide, affording the corresponding α,α-diarylisocyano esters in excellent yields and regioselectivities in short reaction times. Acid hydrolysis of the isocyano group provides the corresponding amino acids bearing a diarylated tetrasubstituted carbon atom. The reaction is also amenable to the synthesis of α-alkyl-α-arylisocyano esters, while the reaction with 3-hydroxy o-quinone diimides provides 4H-benzo[e][1,3]oxazines via a conjugate addition/cyclization process.

Abstract
The three-dimensional structure of medium-sized cyclic peptides accounts for their biological activity and other important physiochemical properties. Despite significant advances in the past few decades, chemists' ability to fine-tune the structure, in particular, the backbone conformation, of short peptides made of canonical amino acids is still quite limited. Nature has shown that cross-linking the aromatic side chains of linear peptide precursors via enzyme catalysis can generate cyclophane-braced products with unusual structures and diverse activities. However, the biosynthetic path to these natural products is challenging to replicate in the synthetic laboratory using practical chemical modifications of peptides. Herein, we report a broadly applicable strategy to remodel the structure of homodetic peptides by cross-linking the aromatic side chains of Trp, His, and Tyr residues with various aryl linkers. The aryl linkers can be easily installed via copper-catalyzed double heteroatom-arylation reactions of peptides with aryl diiodides. These aromatic side chains and aryl linkers can be combined to form a large variety of assemblies of heteroatom-linked multi-aryl units. The assemblies can serve as tension-bearable multijoint braces to modulate the backbone conformation of peptides as an entry to previously inaccessible conformational space.

Abstract
A photoredox catalytic asymmetric method has been established for the installation of both aliphatic and aromatic side chains and the introduction of deuterium into the chiral methyleneoxazolidinone simultaneously. Efficient coupling of readily available boronic acids with the chiral auxiliary delivers structurally diverse α-deuterated α-amino acid derivatives with a high level of diastereoselectivity and deuteration.

Abstract
Melanocortin receptors (MCRs) are a family of G protein-coupled receptors that regulate important physiological functions. Yet, drug development targeting MCRs is hindered by potential side effects due to a lack of receptor subtype-selective ligands with bioavailability. Here, we report novel synthetic pathways to introduce Ψ and χ angle constraints at the C-terminus Trp position of the nonselective prototype tetrapeptide agonist Ac-His-d-Phe-Arg-Trp-NH2. With these conformational constraints, peptide 1 (Ac-His-d-Phe-Arg-Aia) shows improved selectivity at hMC1R, with an EC50 of 11.2 nM for hMC1R and at least 15-fold selectivity compared to other MCR subtypes. Peptide 3 (Ac-His-pCF3-d-Phe-Arg-Aia) is a potent and selective hMC4R agonist with an EC50 of 4.1 nM at hMC4R and at least ninefold selectivity. Molecular docking studies reveal that the Ψ and χ angle constraints force the C-terminal Aia residue to flip and interact with TM6 and TM7, a feature that we hypothesize leads to the receptor subtype selectivity.

Abstract
Novel type of Pd(II) complexes have been synthesized under operationally simple and convenient conditions and applied in the dynamic thermodynamic resolution of racemic N,C-unprotected α-amino acids. After rapid hydrolysis, these Pd(II) complexes produced the corresponding α-amino acids in satisfactory yields and enantioselectivities, accompanied by the recyclable proline-derived ligand. In addition, the method can be readily applied for S/R interconversion to obtain unnatural (R)-α-amino acids from readily available (S)-α-amino acids. Furthermore, biological assays showed that Pd(II) complexes (S,S)-3i and (S,S)-3m exhibited significant antibacterial activities similar to vancomycin, which may represent promising lead structures for further development of antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Receptor-derived peptides have played an important role in elucidating chemokine-receptor interactions. For the inflammatory chemokine CXC-class chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), a site II-mimetic peptide has been derived from parts of extracellular loops 2 and 3 and adjacent transmembrane helices of its receptor CXC-class chemokine receptor 1 (Helmer et al., RSC Adv., 2015, 5, 25657). The peptide sequence with a C-terminal glutamine did not bind to CXCL8, whereas one with a C-terminal glutamate did but with low micromolar affinity. We sought to improve the affinity and protease stability of the latter peptide through cyclization while also cyclizing the former for control purposes. To identify a cyclization strategy that permits a receptor-like interaction, we conducted a molecular dynamics simulation of CXCL8 in complex with full-length CXC-class chemokine receptor 1. We introduced a linker to provide an appropriate spacing between the termini and used an on-resin side-chain-to-tail cyclization strategy. Upon chemokine binding, the fluorescence intensity of the tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA)-labeled cyclic peptides increased whereas the fluorescence anisotropy decreased. Additional molecular dynamics simulations indicated that the fluorophore interacts with the peptide macrocycle so that chemokine binding leads to its displacement and observed changes in fluorescence. Macrocyclization of both 18-amino acid-long peptides led to the same low micromolar affinity for CXCL8. Likewise, both TAMRA-labeled linear peptides interacted with CXCL8 with similar affinities. Interestingly, the linear TAMRA-labeled peptides were more resistant to tryptic digestion than the unlabeled counterparts, whereas the cyclized peptides were not degraded at all. We conclude that the TAMRA fluorophore tends to interact with peptides altering their protease stability and behavior in fluorescence-based assays.

Abstract
Despite various advantages, opioid peptides have been limited in their therapeutic uses due to the main drawbacks in metabolic stability, blood-brain barrier permeability, and bioavailability. Therefore, extensive studies have focused on overcoming the problems and optimizing the therapeutic potential. Currently, numerous peptide-based drugs are being marketed thanks to new synthetic strategies for optimizing metabolism and alternative routes of administration. This tutorial review briefly introduces the history and role of natural opioid peptides and highlights the key findings on their structure-activity relationships for the opioid receptors. It discusses details on opioid peptidomimetics applied to develop therapeutic candidates for the treatment of pain from the pharmacological and structural points of view. The main focus is the current status of various mimetic tools and the successful applications summarized in tables and figures.

Abstract
For 70 years, α-amanitin, the most cytotoxic peptide in its class, has been without a synthetic rival; through synthesis, we address the structure-activity relationships to inform the design of new amatoxins and disclose analogues that are more cytotoxic than the natural product when evaluated on CHO, HEK293, and HeLa cells, whereas on liver-derived HepG2 cells, the same toxins show diminished cytotoxicity.

Abstract
The 3D structure and surface characteristics of proteins and peptides are crucial for interactions with receptors or ligands and can be modified to some extent to modulate their biological roles and pharmacological activities. The introduction of halogen atoms on the side-chains of amino acids is a powerful tool for effecting this type of tuning, influencing both the physico-chemical and structural properties of the modified polypeptides, helping to first dissect and then rationally modify features that affect their mode of action. This review provides examples of the influence of different types of halogenation in amino acids that replace native residues in proteins and peptides. Examples of synthetic strategies for obtaining halogenated amino acids are also provided, focusing on some representative compounds and their biological effects. The role of halogenation in native and designed antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and their mimetics is then discussed. These are in the spotlight for the development of new antimicrobial drugs to counter the rise of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. AMPs represent an interesting model to study the role that natural halogenation has on their mode of action and also to understand how artificially halogenated residues can be used to rationally modify and optimize AMPs for pharmaceutical purposes.

Abstract
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is a severe febrile respiratory disease caused by the beta genus of human coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV. Last year, 2019-n-CoV (COVID-19) was a global threat for everyone caused by the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2. 3CLpro, chymotrypsin-like protease, is a major cysteine protease that substantially contributes throughout the viral life cycle of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. It is a prospective target for the development of SARS-CoV inhibitors by applying a repurposing strategy. This review focuses on a detailed overview of the chemical synthesis and computational chemistry perspectives of peptidomimetic inhibitors (PIs) and small-molecule inhibitors (SMIs) targeting viral proteinase discovered from 2004 to 2020. The PIs and SMIs are one of the primary therapeutic inventions for SARS-CoV. The journey of different analogues towards the evolution of SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitors and complete synthetic preparation of nineteen derivatives of PIs and ten derivatives of SMIs and their computational chemistry perspectives were reviewed. From each class of derivatives, we have identified and highlighted the most compelling PIs and SMIs for SARS-CoV 3CLpro. The protein-ligand interaction of 29 inhibitors were also studied that involved with the 3CLpro inhibition, and the frequent amino acid residues of the protease were also analyzed that are responsible for the interactions with the inhibitors. This work will provide an initiative to encourage further research for the development of effective and drug-like 3CLpro inhibitors against coronaviruses in the near future.

Abstract
The Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) plays a crucial role in numerous pathological conditions. Two of the critical RAS players, the angiotensin receptors AT1R and AT2R, possess differential functional profiles, although they share high sequence similarity. Although the main focus has been placed on AT1R, several epidemiological studies have evidenced that activation of AT2R could operate as a multimodal therapeutic target for different diseases. Thus, the development of selective AT2R ligands could have a high clinical potential for different therapeutic directions. Furthermore, they could serve as a powerful tool to interrogate the molecular mechanisms that are mediated by AT2R. Based on our recently established high affinity and AT2R selective compound [Y]6-AII we developed several analogues through modifying aminoacids located at positions 6 and 7 with various conformationally constrained analogues to enhance both the selectivity and stability. We report the development of high-affinity AT2R binders, which displayed high selectivity for AT2R versus AT1R. Furthermore, all analogues presented enhanced stability in human plasma with respect to the parent hormone Angiotensin II as also [Y]6-AII.

Abstract
Granzymes are serine proteases synthesized by CTL and NK cells. Five granzyme genes (GzmA, -B, -H, -K, -M) are present in humans, which are located at three different chromosomal loci. Being serine proteases, the binding pocket constitutes a catalytic triad (i.e., His59, Asp103 and Ser197). Granzymes are released into target (cancerous and virally infected) cells by a specialized process known as granule exocytosis pathway. After internalization, these proteases initiate apoptosis. Granzymes are also involved in other non-apoptotic immune associated roles like ECM remodeling, cytokine modulation, killing of pathogens through generation of phagosomes. Their intracellular activity is regulated by specialized inhibitors knows as SERPINs. However, if these proteases are secreted in excess into the extracellular environment, their regulation becomes important as otherwise they start self-damage to the tissues thereby worsening the disease conditions. Efforts are being made to identify potential inhibitors for regulation of these proteases in an extracellular environment. Physiological and synthetic inhibitors have been reported against some members however there is no known inhibitor against extracellular human GzmH. Thus, in the current study, we investigated small molecule databases for the identification of potential molecules having the ability to inhibit GzmH by combined molecular simulations, which can ultimately be used as a potential therapeutic agent.

Abstract
A 6-step enantioselective synthesis of (2S,3R)-3-alkyl/alkenylglutamates, including the biologically significant amino acid, (2S,3R)-3-methylglutamate, protected for Fmoc SPPS, is reported. Overall yields range from 52-65%. Key to the success of these syntheses was the development of a high-yielding 2-step synthesis of Fmoc Garner's aldehyde followed by a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction to give the corresponding Fmoc Garner's enoate in a 94% yield. The diastereoselective 1,4-addition of lithium dialkylcuprates to the Fmoc Garner's enoate was explored. Significant decomposition occurred when using lithium diethylcuprate and conditions previously reported for the 1,4-addition of lithium dialkylcuprates to Boc or Cbz-protected Garner's enoate. An optimization study of this reaction resulted in a robust set of conditions that addressed the shortcomings of previously reported conditions. Under these conditions, highly diastereoselective (> 20:1 in most cases) 1,4-addition reactions of lithium dialkyl/dialkenylcuprates to the Fmoc Garner's enoate were achieved in 76-99% yield. The resulting 1,4-addition products were easily converted into the Fmoc-(2S,3R)-3-alkyl/alkenylglutamates in two steps.

Abstract
A mild, versatile organophotoredox protocol has been developed for the preparation of diverse, enantioenriched α-deuterated α-amino acids. Distinct from the well-established two-electron transformations, this radical-based strategy offers the unrivaled capacity of the convergent unification of readily accessible feedstock carboxylic acids and a chiral methyleneoxazolidinone fragment and the simultaneous highly diastereo-, chemo-, and regioselective incorporation of deuterium. Furthermore, the approach has addressed the long-standing challenge of the installation of sterically demanding side chains into α-amino acids.

Abstract
Contemporary drug discovery approaches rely on library synthesis coupled with combinatorial methods and high-throughput screening to identify leads. However, due to the multitude of components involved, a majority of optimization techniques face persistent challenges related to the efficiency of synthetic processes and the purity of compound libraries. These methods have recently found an upgradation as fragment-based approaches for target-guided synthesis of lead molecules with active involvement of their biological target. The click chemistry approach serves as a promising tool for tailoring the therapeutically relevant biomolecules of interest, improving their bioavailability and bioactivity and redirecting them as efficacious drugs. 1,2,3-1H-Triazole nucleus, being a planar and biologically acceptable scaffold, plays a crucial role in the design of biomolecular mimetics and tailor-made molecules with therapeutic relevance. This versatile scaffold also forms an integral part of the current fragment-based approaches for drug design, kinetic target guided synthesis and bioorthogonal methodologies.

Abstract
Backbone-extended amino acids have a variety of potential applications in peptide and protein science, particularly if the geometry of the amino acid is controllable. Here we describe the synthesis of δ-amino acids that contain three vicinal C-F bonds positioned along the backbone. The ultimately successful synthetic approach emerged through the investigation of several methods based on both electrophilic and nucleophilic fluorination chemistry. We show that different diastereoisomers of this fluorinated δ-amino acid adopt distinct conformations in solution, suggesting that these molecules might have value as shape-controlled building blocks for future applications in peptide science.
