A series of analogues of cyclo(l-tyrosyl-l-tyrosine), the substrate of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enzyme CYP121, have been synthesized and analyzed by UV-vis and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and by X-ray crystallography. The introduction of iodine substituents onto cyclo(l-tyrosyl-l-tyrosine) results in sub-μM binding affinity for the CYP121 enzyme and a complete shift to the high-spin state of the heme FeIII. The introduction of halogens that are able to interact with heme groups is thus a feasible approach to the development of next-generation, tight binding inhibitors of the CYP121 enzyme, in the search for novel antitubercular compounds.

A fragment condensation method was utilized for synthesis of the Trp8-substituted luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH). tert-Butoxycarbonyl protection was employed for the α-amino positions, and benzyl protection was used for the phenol group of Tyr and the imidazole nitrogen of His. Peptide bond-forming reactions were performed using N-hydroxysuccinimide (for Trp), dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-1-hydroxybenzotriazole, 1-ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride, or mixed carbonic anhydride methods. Biological evaluation of [Trp8]-LH-RH indicated no luteinizing hormone-releasing activity or inhibition of luteinizing hormone release over the dose ranges studied.
