Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation ofα4β1 Integrin Antagonists Based onβ-D-Mannose as Rigid Scaffold
摘要:
A cyclic peptide role model was used for the design and synthesis of a new class of biologically active and α4 -selective integrin antagonists (e.g. 1) based on β-D-mannose. These carbohydrate-based peptidomimetics were synthesized to include the functional groups of their cyclic peptide precursors without the redundant amide backbone.

As part of our ongoing research in the development of alpha4beta7 integrin antagonists, we are interested in peptidomimetics based on a rigid scaffold to allow the display of essential side chains in a suitable binding conformation while eliminating backbone amide bonds and therefore improving pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug. Except for a few examples, peptidomimetics scaffolds have only been moderately successful and often yield molecules that lack the potency of their peptide counterparts. However, we present herein a successful application of using a rigid scaffold. Starting from a mannopyranoside analogue previously discovered in our laboratory as an inhibitor of the alpha4beta1/vascular cell adhesion molecule interaction, a biased library of functionalized carbohydrates was developed. One compound emerged from this library as an active and selective antagonist toward the alpha4beta7/mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule interaction. Conformational. implications and the relevance of different pharmacophoric patterns will be discussed in order to explain the reverse selectivity and enhanced affinity.
