Cyclooligomerization of a Helix-Bearing Template into Macrocycles Bearing Multiple Helices
摘要:
Cyclooligomerization was investigated for separating and spatially arranging helical peptides as discontinuous surfaces. Tetrapeptide H-[Ile-Ser-Lys(Ox)]-OH, containing a turn-inducing oxazole constraint, was connected through its lysine side chain via a beta-alanine linker to the C-terminus of a two-turn helical nonapeptide Ac-(cyclo-4,8)-LRL [KARAD](Aib). The resulting helix-appended template was self-condensed and cyclized to a library of macrocycles (n = 2-6) containing multiple (2-6) helices. An NMR structure shows retention of alpha helicity in the cyclotrimer (n = 3).
