PEPTIDE TURN MIMETICS
-
Page/Page column 24, (2011/04/14)
Peptide mimetics of structure X herein which (i) provide a wide range of sidechain functions at all sidechain positions, (ii) can be incorporated in a peptide sequence, (iii) can be readily synthesized and (iv) have a variety of conformations. There is also provided a novel process which can provide valuable intermediates in relation to production of peptide mimetics of structure X which intermediates have a high degree of chemo- and stereo-selectivity. Preferred mimetics include structures I, II, III, IV, V and VI.
Novel glycine like amino acids from glyco-α-aminonitriles as building blocks for peptide synthesis

Our interest in the glycoaminocyanation reaction led us to apply this methodology to introduce amino acids on a monosaccharide using the N-terminal position. The GAAs described in this paper are characterized by having the amino and carboxylic acid functionalities on a disubstituted position of the saccharide backbone leading to α,α-disubstituted glycines. These new sugar amino acids showed a restricted conformation involving a spontaneous intramolecular cyclization between the C- and N-terminal positions during hydrolysis or hydrogenolysis to give the corresponding oxopiperazine. Tripeptide mimics were obtained by the introduction of an additional amino acid using one-pot conditions starting from these cyclic by-products under basic media. We demonstrated that these pseudo tripeptides are good candidates for extension of the peptidic scaffold and cyclization.

By using the recently proposed biphenyl-based, C(α)-tetrasubstituted, cyclic, axially chiral α-amino acid Bip we synthesised by solution methods a large set of model peptides, including the homo-oligomer series, to the pentamer level. All of the peptides were fully characterised and their preferred conformation was assessed in solution by means of a FT-IR absorption and 1H NMR study. Results of X-ray diffraction analyses of two Bip derivatives and a terminally protected tripeptide with the sequence -Gly-Bip-Gly- are also presented. Our findings indicate that Bip tends to support β-turn and 310-helical structures, although in short peptides the fully-extended (C5) conformation would also be populated to some extent.
