Peptide carbamates containing the sequence H-Pro-Trp-PheNH2 showed in CDCl3 restricted conformations stabilized by the presence of a gamma-turn. To test the reliability of the peptides as endomorphin conformational models, we measured the affinities for mu-receptors labelled with [3H]-DAMGO. In particular, Cbz-Pro-Trp-PheNH2 displayed a nanomolar affinity.

A synthetically practical and operationally convenient method for preparing (S)-2-[N-(N′-benzylprolyl)-amino]benzophenone (BPBP) and hitherto unknown (S)-2-[N-(N′-benzylprolyl)amino]-4-methylbenzophenone (4-Me-BPBP), (S)-2-[N-(N′-benzylprolyl)amino]-5-nitrobenzophenone (5-NO2-BPBP), and their corresponding Ni(II) complexes with glycine [GlyNi(II)BPBP], a widely used chiral equivalent of nucleophilic glycine, and new analogues [GlyNi(II)-4-Me-BPBP] and [GlyNi(II)-5-NO2-BPBP] is described. The key step of the method is the synthetically efficient amid bond formation between the corresponding o-aminobenzophenones, featuring significant steric shielding and low nucleophilicity of the amino functionality as well as sterically constrained (S)-N-benzylproline (BP).

A general protocol for the preparation of 18F-labeled AAAs and α-methyl-AAAs applying alcohol-enhanced Cu-mediated radiofluorination of Bpin-substituted chiral complexes using Ni/Cu-BPX templates as double protecting groups is reported. The chiral auxiliaries are easily accessible from commercially available starting materials in a few synthetic steps. The versatility of the method was demonstrated by the high-yielding preparation of a series of [18F]F-AAAs and the successful implementation of the protocol into automated radiosynthesis modules.

Spin-labeled amino acids (SLAAs) are often used to determine intermolecular distances and conformations in proteins via double electron-electron resonance. Currently available SLAAs can be difficult to incorporate selectively and have little resemblance to natural side chains in proteins. Enantioselective synthesis of three spin-labeled l-amino acids is described, starting from readily available 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinone. These SLAAs better replicate canonical residues in proteins and aim for biological incorporation via genetic incorporation or solid-phase peptide synthesis.
