Page/Page column 36; 38-39, (2019/10/19)
The invention provides an improved method of macrocyclization of peptidomimetics, as measured by isolated yields and product distribution, which comprises substitution of one or more of the backbone amide C=O bonds with a turn-inducing motif. The method is general with enhancements seen across a range of ring sizes (e.g. tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexapeptides). Specifically, the invention provides a peptidomimetic macrocycle comprising a carbonyl bioisosteric turn-inducing element having the structure: (I) wherein X is a heteroatom; and wherein R1 to R6 are each independently selected from alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl and H.

An improved general method for automated synthesis of tripeptides was developed, in which methanesulfonic acid (MSA) was used in place of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), thus making it possible to avoid, 1) corrosion of the apparatus by strong acid vapor, 2) formation of emulsions, and 3) use of the restricted solvent, dichloromethane. As an application of the automated synthesis apparatus, 216 fragment tripeptide derivatives were synthesized systematically using the MSA method, in excellent yield and with increased efficiency.
