The design and efficient synthesis of N-Fmoc-phosphothreonine protected by a mono-(pivaloyloxy)methyl (POM) moiety at its phosphoryl group (Fmoc-Thr[PO(OH)(OPOM)]-OH, 1, is reported. This reagent is suitable for solid-phase syntheses employing acid-labile resins and Fmoc-based protocols. It allows the preparation of phosphothreonine (pThr)-containing peptides bearing bis-POM-phosphoryl protection. The methodology allows the first reported synthesis of pThr-containing polypeptides having bioreversible prodrug protection, and as such it should be useful in a variety of biological applications.
PEPTIDE AND PEPTIDE MIMETIC BINDING ANTAGONISTS OF POLO-LIKE KINASE 1 POLO BOX DOMAIN AND METHODS OF USE

Paragraph 0455, (2016/04/26)
The invention provides novel compounds that may serve as anticancer therapeutics. The compounds of the invention bind to polo-like kinases through the polo-box domain. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the invention are POM-protected peptide derivatives. The use of cationic bis-alkyl his residues in combination with a mono POM-protected pho-phoryl group results in a peptide possessing an overall neutral charge. The peptide derivatives of the invention have achieved both good efficacy and an enhanced bioavailability. The invention also provides methods of use, compositions, and kits thereof. Further, the invention provides a novel method of design and/or synthesis of phosphoryl-derived peptide derivatives useful as therapeutic agents.
