A General Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Hydroxyethylene Dipeptide Isosteres
Pegorier, Laurent,Larcheveque, Marc
, p. 2753 - 2756 (1995)
Hydroxyethylene dipeptide isosteres were synthesized by stereocontrolled hydroboration of homoallylic alcohols derived from syn protected aminoepoxides followed by chemoselective oxidation of the resulting primary alcohols.
Structure-based design: Potent inhibitors of human brain memapsin 2 (β-secretase)

Memapsin 2 (β-secretase) is one of two proteases that cleave the β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) to produce the 40-42 residue amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in the human brain, a key event in the progression of Alzheimer's disease. On the basis of the X-ray crystal structure of our lead inhibitor (2, OM99-2 with eight residues) bound to memapsin, we have reduced the molecular weight and designed potent memapsin inhibitors. Structure-based design and preliminary structure-activity studies have been presented.
A new synthetic route for the γ-lactone precursors of hydroxyethylene dipeptide isosteres
Sakurai,Hata,Yabe
, p. 5939 - 5942 (2007/10/02)
δ-Phthalimido-γ-ketoesters were obtained by the Pd catalyzed coupling reaction between acid chlorides and organozinc reagents derived from β-iodoesters, and were converted into the γ-lactones precursors of Phe-ψ[H.E.]-Ala and Phe-ψ[H.E.]-Pro (15a,b-18a,b).
HIV-1 protease inhibitors based on hydroxyethylene dipeptide isosteres: An investigation into the role of the P1' side chain on structure-activity

A systematic investigation was undertaken to determine the role of the P1' sidechain in a series of hydroxyethylene isostere based inhibitors of HIV-1 protease. Substitution and homologation of the benzyl P1' side chain of the Phe-Phe isostere based pseudo peptides 1 (L-682,679) and 2 (L-685,434) with various heteroalkyl groups leads to a series of extremely potent inhibitors of the enzyme. Several examples of the most potent inhibitors were very effective in an ex vivo cell based viral spread assay using human H9 T- lymphocytes and the IIIb isolate of HIV-1. Compound 19 is 120 times more potent than 1 and 16 times more potent than 2 in inhibiting the spread of infection in this assay.
