    Quinine bis-conjugates with quinoloneantibiotics and peptides: synthesis and antimalarial bioassay
    (RSC, 2012) Bajaj, Kiran
    Benzotriazole-mediated syntheses led to novel bis-conjugates of quinine with quinolone antibiotics and amino acid linkers which were successfully prepared by two alternative routes with excellent yields and retention of chirality. These bis conjugates retain in vitro antimalarial activity with IC50 values ranging from 12 to 207 nM, similar to quinine itself.

    Syntheses of hydrazino peptides and conjugates
    (Elsiever, 2013-07) Bajaj, Kiran
    (α-Benzyloxycarbonyl-aminoacyl)benzotriazolides (Cbz = benzyloxycarbonyl) underwent a coupling reaction with α-hydrazino acids under microwave irradiation to form hybrid hydrazino dipeptides (42-71 %). Chiral acylations of β-N-Cbz-α-hydrazino acylbenzotriazolides were successfully carried out with N-, S-, O-, and C-nucleophiles in yields of 49-88 %. Benzyloxycarbonyl-protected hybrid hydrazino dipeptides and benzyloxycarbonyl-protected hydrazino aminoacyl conjugates with N-, S-, O-, and C-nucleophiles were prepared by using benzotriazole methodology.

    Traceless reductive ligation at a tryptophan site: a facile access to β-hydroxytryptophan appended peptides
    (RSC, 2016) Sakhuja, Rajeev; Bajaj, Kiran
    An efficient methodology for cysteine-free ligation at a tryptophan (Trp) site is described. A chemically active scaffold, β-hydroxy-α-azidotryptophan, has been synthesized and explored towards the synthesis of a series of β-hydroxytryptophan appended native peptides in good yields via one-pot reductive traceless ligation of β-O-peptidyl-α-azidotryptophan involving an O → N peptidyl transfer strategy. Pre-organized conformational analysis and reaction energy pathway based theoretical studies further supported the experimental findings on the chemical structure stability of ligated products.
