Development and Conformational Analysis of a Pseudoproline-Containing Turn Mimic
摘要:
The liquid-phase synthesis and the conformational analysis of a small library of fully protected tetramers containing L-pyroglutamic acid (L-pGlu), (4S,5R)-4-methyl-5-carboxybenzyloxazolidin-2-one (L-Oxd), or (4R,5S)-4-methyl-5-carboxybenzyloxazolidin-2-one (D-Oxd) as residue i + 1 are reported to test the tendency of these oligomers to assume beta-hairpin conformation. The most promising molecule is BOC-L-Val-D-Oxd-Gly-L-Ala-OBn, which assumes a preferential beta-turn conformation in CDCl3, as shown by IR and H-1 NMR analysis. These findings have been confirmed by DFT calculations, which provide an interpretation for the available experimental data and agree with the reported observations.
