Studies on Novel Peptidomimetics Having Bi-directional Dispositions of Hydroxylated d-Pro-Gly Motifs Anchored on a C2-Symmetric Iminosugar-Based Foundation
摘要:
A rigid pyrrolidine based scaffold comprising of 2,5-dideoxy-2,5-imino-D-idaric acid (1) is developed. Attachment of peptide strands to the carboxylic groups at both ends of this novel template led to the peptidomimetics 2 and 3. Conformational analysis by NMR studies revealed that compounds 2b, 3b and 2c, 3c take interesting turn structures (C-2 symmetric for 2c and 3c) in DMSO-d(6) consisting of identical intramolecular hydrogen bonds at two ends between LeuNH --> sugar-OH as depicted in structure A, whereas 2a and 3a display structures with regular beta-turns with hydrogen bonds between LeuNH --> Boc-C=O in one-half of their molecular frameworks (structure B), characteristic of the turn structures commonly observed in "D-Pro-Gly"-containing peptides. These results suggest that a cis hydroxyl group at the 3-position of the proline residue favors a pseudo,beta-turn-like nine-membered ring structure in hydroxyproline-containing peptides involving an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl and the i + 2 backbone amide.

Conformational analysis of peptides containing cis-3-hydroxy-D-proline (D-cis-3-Hyp) by NMR studies revealed that the 3-hydroxyl group in this amino acid plays a significant role in the overall three-dimensional structures of the peptides. When the D-cis-3-Hyp had its 3-hydroxyl group protected as the benzyl (Bn) ether, the peptide displayed a beta-hairpin structure in both CDCl3 and DMSO-d(6). Even after the removal of the Bn group, the resulting deprotected compound retained the same structure as in the protected version in CDCl3. However, in polar solvent DMSO-d(6), the C-terminal strand of the hydroxyl-deprotected peptide flipped to the side of the hydroxyl group, breaking the hairpin to form a pseudo beta-turn-like nine-membered ring structure involving an intramolecular hydrogen bond between LeuNH --> HypC3-OH.
