- Synthesis and CD spectra of fluoro- and hydroxy-substituted β-peptides
-
β-Amino acids 1-3 with OH and F substituents in the α-position have been prepared (Scheme) from the natural (S)-α-amino acids alanine, valine, and leucine, and incorporated into β-hexa- and β-heptapeptides 4-12. The peptide syntheses were performed according to a conventional solution strategy (Boc/Bn protection) with fragment coupling. The new β-peptides with (series a) and without (series b) terminal protection were isolated in HPLC-pure form and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and MALDI mass spectrometry. The chemical properties as well as the patterns of the CD spectra (Figs. 3-5) depend upon constitution (OH, F, F2 substitution) and configuration (l or u) of the amino acid residues, upon the total number of OH and F substituents in the peptide chain, and upon the solvent used (H2O, MeOH, CF3CH2OH, (CF3)2CHOH). No reliable clues regarding the structures can be obtained from these CD spectra. Only a full NMR analysis will be able to answer the questions: a) with which known secondary structures (Figs. 1 and 2) of β-peptides are the OH and F derivatives compatible? b) Are new secondary structures enforced by the polar and/or H-bonding backbone substituents? Furthermore, the β-peptides described here will enable us to study changes in chemical, enzymatic, and metabolic stability, and in physiological properties caused by the heteroatoms.

- Renin Inhibitors. Substitution of the Leucyl Residues of Leu-Leu-Val-Phe-OCH3 with 3-Amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylhexanoic Acid
-
The 2S,3S and 2R,3S diastereoisomers of the hydroxy amino acid 3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylhexanoic acid (AHMHA) were synthesized and substituted for the leucyl residues of Leu-Leu-Val-Phe-OCH3 to yield the following analogues: AHMHA-Leu-Val-Phe-OCH3, AHMHA

- Synthesis of (2S,3R)-3-Amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylhexanoic Acid Derivatives. Application to the Synthesis of Amastatin, an Inhibitor of Aminopeptidases
-
Methods are reported for the synthesis of optically pure derivatives of (2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylhexanoic acid. -D-leucine methyl ester was reduced in 95percent yield with diisobutylaluminum hydride to the aldehyde which was converted via the cyanohydrin to (2RS,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-methylhexanoic acid (AHMHA).The mixture of diastereomers was converted to the corresponding Boc-AHMHA methyl ester derivatives and separated by chromatography over silica gel.The optical purity of the diastereomers at C-3 was established by converting each to diastereomeric Boc-AHMHA-Leu-OMe and separating these dipeptides by chromatography.Pure (2S,3R)-Boc-AHMHA was coupled with valyl-valyl-aspartic acid dibenzyl ester by using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/ 1-hydroxybenzotriazole in 63percent yield.The Boc group was removed by using trifluoroacetid acid, and the benzyl groups were removed by hydrogenolysis.The product, (2S,3R)-AHMHA-L-Val-L-Val-L-Asp, amastatin, was found to be identical with the natural product.
