De Novo Design, Synthesis, and X-ray Crystal Structures of Pyrrolinone-Based .beta.-Strand Peptidomimetics
摘要:
The de novo design and synthesis of a novel non-peptide scaffolding for beta-strand/sheet mimics are described. The scaffold consists of repeating 3,5,5-trisubstituted pyrrolinone (enaminone) units punctuated with appropriate amino acid side chains. The iterative construction of the pyrrolinones exploits a highly efficient cyclization of metalloimines, the latter derived from C-terminal aldehydes and readily available alpha-substituted alpha-amino ester building blocks. As predicted by interactive computer modeling and confirmed by X-ray crystallography, the polypyrrolinones present the side chains and carbonyl hydrogen-bond accepters in a solid-state conformation which mimics polypeptide beta-sheets. Importantly, the enaminone NH protons form hydrogen bonds both intramolecularly, stabilizing the beta-strand conformation, and intermolecularly, promoting sheet formation. The presence or absence of the nitrogen protecting group controlled antiparallel versus parallel sheet formation.
An effective synthesis of scalemic 3,5,5-trisubstituted pyrrolin-4-ones
摘要:
A new two-step method employs the intramolecular cyclization of metalated imino esters for the construction of scalemic 3,5,5-trisubstituted pyrrolin-4-ones (4). The imino esters in turn derive from alpha-disubstituted amino acids, the latter readily available via a new protocol exploiting the enantioretentive alkylation of oxazolidinones.

[reaction: see text] A second-generation asymmetric synthesis of polypyrrolinones (3) has been achieved exploiting scalemic alpha-aminolactones (1) as building blocks. Imine formation between an appropriate lactone (1) and aldehyde (2), followed in turn by pyrrolinone ring construction promoted by KHMDS in the presence of 18-crown-6 and modified Swern oxidation furnished pyrrolinone aldehyde 3.

see text] An efficient, three-step iterative synthesis of polypyrrolinones has been achieved on solidsupport, setting the stage for the construction of a wide variety of libraries based on the pyrrolinone scaffold. Central to the approach is an effective end-game sequence featuring pyrrolinone ring construction with traceless release from the solidsupport.

Pyrrolinone-based peptidomimetics, the first mimics of beta-strands, are potent inhibitors of HIV-1 protease. Importantly, the bis(pyrrolinones) described herein proved to be more active in cellular antiviral assays compared with an analogous peptide-derived inhibitor even though they are less effective in inhibiting the isolated protease. These results suggest that pyrrolinone inhibitors offer better transport properties than the corresponding peptide-based peptidomimetics; we attribute this effect to decreased solvation of the mimetics. Structure-activity relationships for the pyrrolinones correlate well with those reported for related peptides, consistent with similar modes of binding.
