A library of eight neutral anion receptors consisting of α-amino acid esters attached to o-phenylenediamine by urea groups was synthesized and analysed in terms of capacity for chiral recognition of carboxylates. The NMR titrations revealed that the assoc

(Hydroxyethyl)urea peptidomimetics systematically altered at positions P2-P3′ with hydrophobic D-amino acids were synthesized. An all D-amino acid containing analogue was identified that effectively blocked γ-secretase activity in a cell-free system (IC50 = 30 nM). Systematic alteration of the stereocenters of a potent compound revealed interdependence between the various positions. Although typically less potent than their L-peptidomimetic counterparts, selected all D-amino acid containing analogues were equipotent to their counterparts in a cell-based assay when incubated for extended times.

The synthesis and enzyme inhibition data for a series of thiadiazole urea matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors are described. A broad screening effort was utilized to identify several thiadiazoles which were weak inhibitors of stromelysin. Optimization of the thiadiazole leads to include an α-amino acid side chain with variable terminal amide substituents provided a series of ureas which were moderately effective stromelysin inhibitors, with K(i)'s between 0.3 and 1.0 μM. The most effective analogues utilized an L-phenylalanine as the amino acid component. In particular, unsubstituted 46 had a K(i) of 710 nM, while the p-fluoro analogue 52 displayed increased potency (100 nM). Stromelysin inhibition was further improved using a pentafluorophenylalanine substituent which resulted in 70, a 14 nM inhibitor. While gelatinase inhibition was generally poor, the use of 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine as the amide component usually provided for enhanced activity, with 71 inhibiting gelatinase with a K(i) of 770 nM. The combination of this heterocycle with a p-fluorophenylalanine substituent provided the only analogue, 69, with collagenase activity (13 μM). The SAR for analogues described within this series can be rationalized through consideration of the X-ray structure recently attained for 70 complexed to stromelysin. Uniquely, this structure showed the inhibitor to be completely orientated on the left side of the enzyme cleft. These results suggest that thiadiazole urea heterocycles which incorporate a substituted phenylalanine can provide selective inhibitors of stromelysin. Careful selection of the amide substituent can also provide for analogues with modest gelatinase inhibition.

A series of renin inhibitors have been prepared and evaluated for their susceptibility to cleavage by the serine protease chymotrypsin. The compounds were designed by consideration of the structural requirements in the active-site region of renin and chymotrypsin. By systematic alteration of the P3 phenylalanine residue, compounds with varying degrees of renin inhibitory potency and chymotrypsin susceptibility were obtained. Selected analogues from this group were examined in vivo for both their hypotensive effects and metabolic patterns.
