Abstract: A stereospecific method of preparing alpha-aminophosphonic acids and derivatives thereof is provided. A protected amino acid is converted to a acyl aroyl or diacyl peroxide which spontaneously rearranges to form an alpha-amino ester. This rearrangement occurs stereospecifically with retention of configuration. The ester is subsequently converted to an appropriate leaving group and displaced with a phosphite yielding a chiral alpha-aminophosphonic acid or derivative.Alpha-aminophosphonic acids are useful for the synthesis of peptide analogs that possess a phosphonate linkage in the place of an amide linkage. This substitution can impart protease resistance in therapeutic peptides thereby increasing the serum half-life.

Abstract: The composition, methods of synthesis, and applications of a new class of tumor selective antineoplastic drugs is described. These novel antineoplastic agents are of the general structure: A-C-B. The agents are designed with two key functionalities: a trigger which toxifies the drug; (A) and a deactivator which detoxifies the drug (B) The trigger is selected such that it is activated by an enzyme which is present in elevated levels in the tumor. The deactivator is selected such that it is actuated by an enzyme ubiquitous to all tissues. The fate of the drug in a given cell is then determined by the ratio of the enzymatic activity that triggers toxication to the enzymatic activity which detoxifies the drug. The partitioning of the drug between toxic metabolite and nontoxic metabolite defines the resulting specificity of cytotoxic effect.
