Peptides and proteins occupy innumerous biological functions Metabolic Structural
Serve as inspiration in many research fields New therapeutic agents Biomaterials
Appealing features Low toxicity Structural simplicity Low immune response
Intrinsic limitations Enzymatic degradation (protease) Thermic stability Denaturation in organic solvents
The use of non-canonical amino acids may overcome some of those limitations D--amino acids -amino acids Artificial amino acids
Artificial amino acids expand the functional diversity and open the way to tailored protein design

Minor steric impact F: smallest Van der Waals radius after H and Ne
Major electronic impact F: most electronegative element Inverted polarization vs C-H
Unique features of the C-F bond Often described as the strongest organic bond (BDE up to 544 KJ/mol) Most polar covalent bond Can influence polarization on adjacent bonds Low polarizability of C-F can give rise to Fluorous effect
Fluorous effect Auto-segregation of fluorine-rich organic species Intermolecular: fluorous phase Intermolecular: fluorophile domain on protein

Can those unique features be explored in peptide/protein engineering ?

4-Fluoro-L-threonine (4F-Thr): only natural -AAF known Produced by Streptomyces cattleya (Gram-positive) Antibiotic agent Not identified in any peptide or protein so far
Biosynthesis involves incorporation of fluoride by a fluorinase enzyme

Many properties can be influenced by the substitution of canonical -amino acids by fluorinated analogues Protein folding Protein-protein interactions Ribosomal translation Lipophilicity Acidity/basicity character Optimal pH Stability: temperature, protease, organic solvents
Example: lipophilicity vs.VdW volume of side chains a-AAF can fill a desired space but with a different lipophilicity from -AA
Often claimed to generally improve stability and properties in out-of-field literature
But, not that simple !

Interest for peptides in medicinal chemistry Low toxicity Simple structure / synthesis Low immune response
Drawbacks of peptides in medicinal chemistry Biodisponibility Low membrane permeability Enzymatic cleavage
Impact of fluorine in medicinal chemistry 150 fluorinated small molecules reaching the market since 1950 In 2010, 20% of all administered drugs 30% by 2017
Applications of -AAFMedicinal Chemistry of Peptides

Can -AAF help to overpass those limitations ?
Can this impact be translated to peptides ?

Because of their resemblance with canonical a-amino acids, some -AAF can act as inhibitors Known action on amino acid decarboxylase enzymes Inhibition of the production of biologically relevant amines, including:
-(difluoromethyl)ornithine (DMDO) Commercial name: Eflornithine Treatment of hirsutism and African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) Inhibitor or ornithine decarboxylase Acts on putrescine biosynthesis

18F-PET mainly used in oncology
Main marker used: 18F-FDG (18F)-fluorodeoxyglucose Discrimination of cancer cells due to their higher metabolism
Consumption of -amino acids also higher in cancer cells -AAF explored as new markers Better resolution in some cases
-AAF could also be used for more refine analysis Marking based on active transport events Transport protein LAT1 upregulated in cancer cells

Compatibility issues with some -AAFSpecific protecting groups required
Not suitable for more than 50-100 -AA
Relies on native translational machinery of the cellIncorporates the modified -AA at every position occupied by the parental -AA
Needs strains of bacteria that are auxotrophic for the parental -AA-AAF has to be sufficiently similar to its natural analog
