The suitability of BMPI (2-bromo-N-methyl pyridinium iodide) for solid-phase peptide synthesis was investigated. The coupling rate of BMPI/HOBT procedure. BMPI/HOBT was superior to DCC/HOBT couplings using the solid-phase peptide bond formation proceeded to a greater degree of completion than DCC/HOBT method did. Double couplings with 2 equiv. of Bocamino acids and 1.5 equiv. of BMPI and $NEt_3$ and 2 equiv. of HOBT in DMF/MC (1:1 v/v) gave the best result for the preparation of a model compound. Stepwise solid phase peptide synthesis using BMPI/HOBT procedure was successfully utilized for the preparation of $(D-Ala)^2$-dynorphine A. BMPI/HOBT procedure for the synthesis of $(D-Ala)^2$-dynorphine gave better yield (20%) than DCC/HOBT procedure did.

The reaction of N,N-diethyl carbamates of 1H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-1-ol (4-HOAt) 7, 3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-ol (7-HOAt) 8, 1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-ol (HOBt) 9, 6-chloro-1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-ol (Cl-HOBt) 10, 6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-ol ($CF_3$-HOBt) 11, and 6-nitro-1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-ol ($NO_2$-HOBt) 12 with morpholine and piperidine in $CH_3CN$ underwent acyl nucleophilic substitution to give the corresponding carboxamide derivatives. The reactants and products were identified by elemental analysis, IR and NMR. We measured the kinetics of these reactions spectrophotometrically in $CH_3CN$ at a range of temperatures. The rates of morpholinolysis and piperidinolysis were found to fit the Hammett equation and correlated with $\sigma$-Hammett values. The values were 1.44 - 1.21 for morpholinolysis and 1.95 - 1.72 for piperidinolysis depending on the temperature. The $Br{\phi}$nsted-type plot was linear with a $\beta_lg = -0.49 \pm 0.02$ and $-0.67 \pm 0.03$. The kinetic data and structure-reactivity relationships indicate that the reaction of 9-12 with amines proceeds by a concerted mechanism. The deviation from linearity of the correlation ${\Delta}H^#$ vs. ${\Delta}S^#$ and plot of $logk_{pip}$ vs. $logk_{morph}$ and $Br{\phi}$nsted-type correlation indicate that the reactions of amines with carbamates 7 and 8 is attributed to the electronic nature of their leaving groups.

In the present study a novel series of (2-substituted-4-methylthiazol-5-yl)(4-substituted piperazin-1-yl)methanone derivatives were synthesized by reaction of 2-substituted-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid with N-substituted benzyl piperazine by using 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCl) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) in DMF. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral methods. The title compounds were screened for in vitro antibacterial activity. Most of the compounds show moderate to good antimicrobial activity.

In an effort to increase effective action of enkephalins, several peptide inhibitors of enkephalin aminopeptidase have been synthesized. The peptides contain 3-amino-2-hydroxy amino acid as a zinc binding site and side chains of substrate pattern. The peptides were synthesized in solution by chain elongation from C-terminal end using DCC/HOBt as coupling reagent. The peptides are shown to have very strong inhibitory activity against enkephalin aminopeptidase.

The total synthesis of insulin A chain (1-21) with properly protected sulfhdryl groups of three cysteins for the correct intra and inter disulfide bond formation has been accomplished on 2-bromopropionylated 2% DVB-styreneresin support employing manually operated rotary vessel. The sulfhydryl groups of cysteins were protected with acetamidomethyl, benzyl, and benzhydryl respectively. Glutamine and asparagine were attached to the peptide chain by active ester coupling, all other amino acids were coupled with DCC/HOBT. The synthesized peptide was purified by DEAE Sephadex A-25 and gel filtration Sephadex LH-20. The final product was found to be homogeneous by HPLC, electrophoresis, and amino acid analysis. The overall yield of the pure isolated peptide was 6%.

Here we describe a fast and rapid technique for preparation of amino acid hydrazide as well as peptide hydrazide derivatives using diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC)/1-hydroxybenzotriazoles (HOXt) (X = A or B) under microwave irradiation employing a multimode reactor (Synthos 3000 Aton Paar, GmbH, 1400 W maximum magnetron). A comparison between conventional and microwave irradiation was described. The microwave methodology is rapid, convenient, proceeds under mild conditions. Diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC)/7-aza-1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOAt) always gave much better yield (95 - 98%) and purity than diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC)/1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt).

For handling and storage of reactive chemicals, the hazard evaluations have been extremely important. In the chemical industry, the most concerns are focused on the thermal harzards such as runaway reactions and thermal decompositions, which are mostly governed by thermodynamics and reaction kinetics or these reactive chemical in the system. This study no investigated the thermal decomposition characteristics of nitrophenylhydrazine isomers by using differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) and accelerating rate calorimeter(ARC). Experimental results showed that exothermic onset-temperatures in nitrophenylhydrazine(NPH) isomers were about 160-$210^{\circ}C$ by DSC and 100-$150^{\circ}C$ by ARC. The decomposition temperature acquired by ARC was about 50-$60^{\circ}C$ lower than that by DSC. Reaction heats were about 40-100cal/g by DSC and 330-750ca1/g by ARC. While ortho isomer of NPH show two distinct exothermic peaks, para isomer shows a single peak in DSC curves. The first exothermic peak for 2-NPH is mainly due to intramolecular dehydration forming 1-hydroxybenzotriazole(HOBT) and the second exothermic peak is mainly due to the decomposition of HOBT formed in the first step of decomposition. The exothermin peak in the DSC curve for 4-NPH is mainly due to dissociation of hydrazino and nitro groups.

To investigate the inhibitory activity of 2-hydroxy-3-amino-4-phenylbutyrate-harboring aminopeptidase N inhibitors, p-nitro-AHPA-peptide derivatives (1 and 2) and an AHPA-peptide derivative (3) were synthesized by chain elongation from C-terminal end using DCC/HOBt as a coupling reagent. The peptides $1{\sim}3$ exerted strong inhibitory activities against aminopeptidase N with $IC_{50}$ values of 1.8, 7.3 and $24.0\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, and cytotoxicity on cancer cell lines in vitro.

A real time bio-imaging of HA degradation was successfully carried out using HA-quantum dot conjugates. HA-ADH with ADH content of ca. 70 mol% was synthesized and conjugated with quantum dots containing carboxyl terminal ligands which were activated by the addition of HOBt and EDC in DMSO. When the concentration of HA-ADH solution was higher than 4 wt%, HA-ADH hydrogels incorporating quantum dots could be synthesized in 30 minutes. These novel HA-quantum dot conjugates and the precursor solution of HA hydrogels incorporating quantum dots were injected to the nude mouse and investigated to elucidate the biological roles of HA in the body for various future tissue engineering applications.
