Value for the γ-Turn Structuration
The conformational behavior of 1:1 [α/α‐Nα‐Bn‐hydrazino] and 1:1 [α‐Nα‐Bn‐hydrazino/α] oligomeric (dimer and/or trimer) pseudopeptides in CDCl3 has been studied by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy. This study has highlighted the self‐organization of the oligomers by an alternation of the γ‐turn and hydrazinoturn and allowed the Δδ value for the γ‐turn structuration to be calculated for the first time.
The name hydrazinopeptide designates peptidic structures in which one of the native CONH links is replaced by a CONHNH (hydrazido) fragment. In this paper, we report the synthesis of such hydrazinohexapeptides (3-5) analogous to Z-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-Ala-Ala-(NHPr)-Pr-i (6), a substrate of human leukocyte elastase (HLE; EC 3.4.21.37), cleaved by this serine protease between the Val4 and Ala5 residues. In hydrazinopeptides 3-5, the Ala5, Val4, or Pro3 residue, respectively, of the model peptide, has been replaced by the corresponding alpha-L-hydrazino acid. In 3, the bond likely to be cleaved by HLE is the one involving the CONHNH link, while in 4 and 5, this link is normally shifted away by one or two amino acid units from the catalytic serine. On incubation with HLE, hydrazinopeptide 3 proved to be a substrate and was cleaved between Val4 and NHAla5, like peptide 6. In contrast, 4 and 5 proved to bind to HLE without being cleaved, featuring properties consistent with reversible competitive inhibition. General guidelines for the synthesis of hydrazinopeptides are also reported in this paper. These guidelines take into account the chemical specificity of hydrazino acids, while being fully compatible with the conventional peptide coupling techniques. The utilization of orthogonally bisprotected hydrazino acids 1 where the N-beta and N-alpha atoms bear a Boc and a Bzl group, respectively, is recommended for the easy construction of such hydrazinopeptides.
An expedient and short synthesis of chiral α-hydrazinoesters: synthesis and conformational analysis of 1:1 [α/α-Nα-hydrazino]mers
Different α-hydrazinoesters with high optical purity have been obtained in large scale via an SN2 protocol. A coupling reaction with a natural amino acid leads to the corresponding dimers, which have been oligomerized in order to obtain the 1:1 [α/α-Nα-hydrazino]mer series. Conformational studies show that these mixed oligomers are self-organized in solution via a succession of γ-turn and hydrazinoturn
