Peptidomimetic inhibitors of the hepatitis C NS3 protease often exhibit poor biopharmaceutical properties. Structure modification of a substrate-based tripeptide into a β-strand 15-membered ring scaffold provided a new class of peptidomimetics that are significantly superior as drug candidates to their acyclic precursors. Tripeptide dienes composed of three unnatural amino acid residues with numerous
丙型肝炎病毒NS3蛋白酶的拟肽抑制剂通常表现出较差的生物药物特性。将基于底物的三肽结构修饰成β链15元环骨架,提供了一类新型的拟肽,它们作为药物的候选者显着优于其无环前体。使用闭环复分解(RCM),将具有三个手性中心的三个非天然氨基酸残基组成的三肽二烯有效地转化为高非对映异构体纯度的大环肽。对无环二烯的构象和RCM反应方案进行了广泛研究和优化,以实现潜在丙种肝炎感染治疗剂的有效合成。
