Selection methods are used to identify Affimers that recognise α-helix mimicking N-alkylated aromatic oligoamides thus demonstrating foldamer and natural α-amino acid codes are compatible.

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) mediate cellular pathways and are implicated in numerous aberrant conditions. α-Helix mimetics - small molecules that reproduce the spatial projection of key residues from an α-helix involved in a PPI - are attractive generic templates for development of screening libraries, however library syntheses of α-helix mimetics with diverse functionality are less established. This manuscript describes the automated, microwave assisted solid phase synthesis based on one such scaffold; an N-alkylated oligobenzamide.

Generic approaches for the design and synthesis of small molecule inhibitors of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) represent a key objective in modern chemical biology. Within this context, the α-helix mediated PPIs have received considerable attention as targets for inhibition using small molecules, foldamers and proteomimetics. This manuscript describes a novel N-alkylated aromatic oligoamide proteomimetic scaffold and its solid-phase synthesis - the first time such an approach has been used for proteomimetics. The utility of these scaffolds as proteomimetics is exemplified through the identification of potent μM inhibitors of the p53-hDM2 helix mediated PPI - a key oncogenic target.
