The (2S,5R) stereoisomer of 5-benzylproline, i.e. the l-proline analogue that bears a δ-benzyl substituent cis to the carbonyl function, has been prepared in enantiomerically pure form and excellent global yield. The procedure involves the construction of

Representative minimalist mimics 1 were prepared from amino acids. Scaffold 1 was not designed to mimic any particular secondary structure, but simulated accessible conformations of this material were compared with common ideal secondary structures and with >125000 different protein-protein interaction (PPI) interfaces. This data mining exercise indicates that scaffolds 1 can mimic features of sheet-turn-sheets, somewhat fewer helical motifs, and numerous PPI interface regions that do not resemble any particular secondary structure.

Emergence and spread of multidrug resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum has severely limited the antimalarial chemotherapeutic options. In order to overcome the obstacle, a set of new side-chain modified 4-aminoquinolines were synthesized and screened against chloroquine-sensitive (3D7) and chloroquine-resistant (K1) strains of P. falciparum. The key feature of the designed molecules is the use of methylpiperazine linked α, β3- and γ-amino acids to generate novel side chain modified 4-aminoquinoline analogues. Among the evaluated compounds, 20c and 30 were found more potent than CQ against K1 and displayed a four-fold and a three-fold higher activity respectively, with a good selectivity index (SI = 5846 and 11,350). All synthesized compounds had resistance index between 1.06 and >14.13 as against 47.2 for chloroquine. Biophysical studies suggested that this series of compounds act on heme polymerization target.
