Methyl and ethyl esters of N-Boc homoproline, homopipecolic acid and 3-carboxymethyl-morpholine were kinetically resolved by hydrolysis catalysed by Burkholderia cepacia lipase to give the corresponding acids and residual esters in enantiomeric excesses better than 99% (E > 100).

Brain serotonin 7 receptor (5-HT7) is involved in several mood disorders and drug candidates targeting this subtype are currently in development. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a molecular imaging modality offering great promise for accelerating the process from preclinical discovery to clinical phases. As no PET radiopharmaceutical has yet been used successfully to study the 5-HT7 receptor in vivo, our objective is to develop the first 5-HT7 fluorine-18 labeled radiotracer. Four structural analogs of SB269970, a specific 5-HT7 receptor antagonist, divided in FP3 series and FPMP series were synthesized. Their antagonist effects were investigated by cellular functional assay. Nitro-precursors of these analogs were radiolabeled via a [18F-]nucleophilic substitution and in vitro autoradiographies were performed in rat brain. Chemical and radiochemical purities of fluorine radiotracers were >99% with specific activities in 40-129 GBq/μmole range. The four derivates presented antagonism potencies toward 5-HT7 receptors (pKB) between 7.8 and 8.8. The four PET radiotracers had suitable characteristic for 5-HT7 receptor probing in vitro even if the FP3 series seemed to be more specific for this receptor. These results encourage us to pursue in vivo studies.
Endomorphin-1 analogues containing β-proline are μ-opioid receptor agonists and display enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis resistance

In this paper we describe the synthesis and affinity toward the μ-opioid receptor of some tetrapeptides obtained from endomorphin-1, H-Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2 (1), by substituting each amino acid in turn with its homologue. The ability to bind μ -opioid receptors depends on the β-amino acid, and in particular 4, which contains β-L-Pro, has a KI, in the nanomolar range. The peptides 4 and 5 are significantly more resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis than 1. The same compounds, as well as the μ-opioid receptor agonist DAMGO, produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP formation, thus behaving as μ-opioid agonists. These features suggest that this novel class of endomorphin-1 analogues may represent suitable candidates for the in vivo investigation as potential μ-opioid receptor agonists.
