RGD peptides are used in biomaterials science for surface modifications with a view to elicit selective cellular responses. Our objective is to replace peptides by small peptidomimetics acting similarly. We designed novel molecules targeting αvβ3 integrin and featuring spacer-arms (for surface grafting), which do not disturb the biological activity, from (L) N-(3-(trifluoromethyl)benzenesulfonyl) tyrosine used as scaffold. Various Arg-mimics were fixed on the phenol function, and the ortho position was used for the coupling of OEG spacers. All peptidomimetics were active in the nM range in a binding test toward human αvβ 3 integrin (IC50 = 0.1 to 1.7 nM) and selective versus platelet integrin αIIbβ3. Selected compounds revealed excellent ability to inhibit bone cells adhesion on vitronectin. Modeling and docking studies were performed for comparing the most active RGD peptidomimetic to cilengitide, i.e., cyclo-[RGDfN(Me)V]-. Lastly, the adhesion of endothelial cells on a cultivation support grafted with RGD peptidomimetics was significantly improved. 2009 American Chemical Society.
