Evaluation of a non-prime site substituent and warheads combined with a decahydroisoquinolin scaffold as a SARS 3CL protease inhibitor

A non-prime site substituent and warheads combined with a decahydroisoquinolin scaffold was evaluated as a novel inhibitor for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro). The decahydroisoquinolin scaffold has b

Asymmetric Synthesis of Lysine Analogues with Reduced Basicity, and their Incorporation into Proteasome Inhibitors

Most known β2-selective proteasome inhibitors suffer from relatively poor cell permeability as the result of a net positive charge caused by the basic moiety at P1. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of oligopeptide vinyl sulfones that contain different amino acids bearing amino groups with reduced basicity at P1 and/or P3. For this, we developed the first enantioselective synthesis of lysine(4-ene) and lysine(4-yne). These amino acids, as well as histidine and diaminopropionic-acid-glycine, were incorporated at the P1 and/or P3 positions of oligopeptide vinyl sulfones. All inhibitors were found to inhibit β2, but with a loss of potency compared to our most potent and selective β2 inhibitor, LU-102. These results notwithstanding, our results provide important insights for the future design of β2-selective proteasome inhibitors.

1,2,3-Triazoles as amide bond mimics: Triazole scan yields protease-resistant peptidomimetics for tumor targeting

The triazole makes the difference: Replacement of amide bonds in the backbone of peptides by 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole isosteres affords peptidomimetics with retained receptor affinity and cell-internalization properties, enhanced proteolytic stability, and improved tumor-targeting capabilities.

Incorporation of a bioactive reverse-turn heterocycle into a peptide template using solid-phase synthesis to probe melanocortin receptor selectivity and ligand conformations by 2D 1H NMR

By use of a solid-phase synthetic approach, a bioactive reverse turn heterocycle was incorporated into a cyclic peptide template to probe melanocortin receptor potency and ligand structural conformations. The five melanocortin receptor isoforms (MC1R-MC5R) are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are regulated by endogenous agonists and antagonists. This pathway is involved in pigmentation, weight, and energy homeostasis. Herein, we report novel analogues of the chimeric AGRP-melanocortin peptide template integrated with a small molecule moiety to probe the structural and functional consequences of the core His-Phe-Arg-Trp peptide domain using a reverse-turn heterocycle. A series of six compounds are reported that result in inactive to full agonists with nanomolar potency. Biophysical structural analysis [2D 1H NMR and computer-assisted molecular modeling (CAMM)] were performed on selected analogues, resulting in the identification that these peptide-small molecule hybrids possessed increased flexibility and fewer discrete conformational families compared to the reference peptide and result in a novel template for further structure-function studies.

Structure-based design, synthesis, and evaluation of peptide-mimetic SARS 3CL protease inhibitors

The design and evaluation of low molecular weight peptide-based severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) chymotrypsin-like protease (3CL) protease inhibitors are described. A substrate-based peptide aldehyde was selected as a starting compound, and optimum side-chain structures were determined, based on a comparison of inhibitory activities with Michael type inhibitors. For the efficient screening of peptide aldehydes containing a specific C-terminal residue, a new approach employing thioacetal to aldehyde conversion mediated by N-bromosuccinimide was devised. Structural optimization was carried out based on X-ray crystallographic analyses of the R188I SARS 3CL protease in a complex with each inhibitor to provide a tetrapeptide aldehyde with an IC50 value of 98 nM. The resulting compound carried no substrate sequence, except for a P3 site directed toward the outside of the protease. X-ray crystallography provided insights into the protein-ligand interactions.

Solid-phase synthesis and screening of N-acylated polyamine (NAPA) combinatorial libraries for protein binding

Inhibitors for protein-protein interactions are challenging to design, in part due to the unique and complex architectures of each protein's interaction domain. Most approaches to develop inhibitors for these interactions rely on rational design, which re
