Efforts to synthesize potential methionine aminopeptidase inhibitors is described. Preliminary SAR and docking studies served as a guide to design the compound libraries. "Chromatography-free" synthesis of various heterocyclic amides was realized by using a high-load, soluble coupling reagent derived via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Subsequent microwave-assisted Suzuki reactions with ortho-substituted arylboronic acids, followed by chromatographic purification afforded a 55-member library in high yields and purities. While the biological testing was not satisfactory, concurrent X-ray crystallography studies revealed key structural features essential for inhibition of methionine aminopeptidase, which directed fruitful results reported in the accompanying manuscript. In addition, in silico Lipinksi profiles and ADME properties of the library are also reported.

Article Synopsis
- FD is a significant grapevine disease in Europe, particularly affecting Tuscany, where recent surveys found about 50% of tested samples showed positive for the FD phytoplasma (FDp).
- The study revealed a complex ecology of FDp, with its presence noted in both primary hosts (VV and ST) and secondary vectors (DE) and hosts (AG and CV).
- Nine different strains of FDp were identified, including three new ones, with phylogenetic analyses indicating links between Tuscan strains and those found in the Balkans and France, which could aid in management efforts to control the disease’s spread.

Recent years have witnessed notable breakthroughs in the field of biotherapeutics. Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are novel molecules which used to degrade particular proteins despite the blockage by small drug molecules, which leads to a predicted therapeutic activity. This is a unique finding, especially at the cellular level targets degradations.

Within a cell, protein-bound methionines can be chemically or enzymatically oxidized, and subsequently reduced by methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msrs). Methionine oxidation can result in structural damage or be the basis of functional regulation of enzymes. In addition to participating in redox reactions, methionines play an important role as the initiator residue of translated proteins where they are commonly modified at their α-amine group by formylation or acetylation.
