An oxidant-free approach to the synthesis of -glyoxylyl peptides has been developed that utilizes the Lossen rearrangement of the N-terminal glycyl hydroxamic acid residue. The synthesis proceeds via an intramolecular redox mechanism to yield the glyoxylyl peptides, which are then subjected to various peptide cyclization procedures. The reaction scheme is suitable for oxidation-sensitive moieties including amino acids.

Reverse-polarity activity-based protein profiling (RP-ABPP) is a chemical proteomics approach that uses nucleophilic probes amenable to "click" chemistry deployed into living cells in culture to capture, immunoprecipitate, and identify protein-bound electrophiles. RP-ABPP is used to characterize the structure and function of reactive electrophilic post-translational modifications (PTMs) and the proteins harboring them, which may uncover unknown or novel functions. RP-ABPP has demonstrated utility as a versatile method to monitor the metabolic regulation of electrophilic cofactors, using a pyruvoyl cofactor in S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase (AMD1), and to discover novel types of electrophilic modifications on proteins in human cells, such as the glyoxylyl modification on secernin-3 (SCRN3).

Indole- and azaindole-based glyoxylyl amide derivatives have been described as HIV-1 attachment inhibitors (AIs) that act by blocking the interaction between the viral gp120 coat protein and the human host cell CD4 receptor. As part of an effort to more deeply understand the role of the indole/azaindole heterocycle in the expression of antiviral activity, a survey of potential replacements was conducted using parallel synthesis methodology. The design and optimization was guided by a simple 2-dimensional overlay based on an overall planar topography between the indole/azaindole and C-7 substituents that had been deduced from structure-activity studies leading to the discovery of temsavir (3).

The highly reactive α-dicarbonyl compounds glyoxal and methylglyoxal are major precursors of posttranslational protein modifications in vivo. Model incubations of N-t-Boc-lysine and either glyoxal or methylglyoxal were used to further elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the N-carboxymethyl lysine and N-carboxyethyl lysine reaction cascades. After independent synthesis of the authentic reference standards, we were able to detect N-glyoxylyl lysine and N-pyruvoyl lysine for the first time by HPLC-MS analyses.

Fast, high-yielding, and selective bioorthogonal "click" reactions employing nontoxic reagents are in high demand for their great utility in the conjugation of biomolecules in live cells. Although a number of click reactions were developed for this purpose, many are associated with drawbacks and limitations that justify the development of alternative systems for both single- or dual-labeling applications. Recent reports have highlighted the potential of boronic ester formation as a bioorthogonal click reaction between abiotic boronic acids and diols.
