Eight L-aspartyl dipeptides derived from heterocyclic glycine esters were prepared and evaluated as sweeteners. The fenchyl esters of L-aspartyl-2-furyl-, 2- and 3-thienyl-, and imidazolylglycine were all potently sweet with the D-2-furylglycine (+)-beta-fenchyl ester being the most potent at 16,500 times the potency of sucrose. The requirement for a planar heterocyclic group directly attached to the glycine carbon atom was demonstrated by the observation that the tetrahydrofuryl and beta-thienylalanine fenchyl esters were not sweet. The heteroaromatic glycine esters join the phenylglycine esters as a novel class of dipeptide sweeteners with very high potency.

Biodegradable vehicles that degrade specifically at tumor sites are highly desirable since they can cause selective exposure of highly toxic drugs at tumor sites whereas keep the conjugates stable during blood circulation. Here, we evaluate the utility of a dendritic hexadecapeptide comprised of four arms, each having a tetrapeptide sequence recognized by an enzyme cathepsin B as a carrier system for heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor geldanamycin (GDM). We report the synthesis of a carrier having GDM conjugated to the terminal end of each arm (> 55% wt/wt drug). We further report the stability of the GDM containing peptidic dendrimer in various buffers and in the presence of serum along with its ability to release free drug in the presence of cathepsin B, the enzyme overexpressed in a variety of tumors. Using androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line (DU-145) we further demonstrate that the geldanamycin containing peptidic dendrimer has antiproliferative property similar to the free drug derivative.
